Major Update Speculation XXX: cp_orange_x3 confirmed! - Games

Ms. Pauling has a christmas hat on and the item servers are down! I think tis' the one! EDIT: Well, I guess this is kind of a let down.

Yep. the title screen has a santa hat and festive shotgun. It's live.

[QUOTE=sowhat;49371679]I hope it's more contracts. I'm starving.[/QUOTE] Would be fun if the second bunch of contracts were attached to new weapons. It would give that weapon loaning thingo they introduced purpose for the players who have collected the current set of weapons.

huzzah

But what was that "naughty or nice" supposed to imply?

how long until the 3-layered-microtransaction fear is confirmed...

That's really nice how the hat with no name can be worn by more classes. Specifically the engineer, that's really fitting.

[QUOTE=Fluury;49371726]But what was that "naughty or nice" supposed to imply?[/QUOTE] It was just flavor text.

'Updated the model/materials for The Hat With No Name so it can now be equipped by the Soldier, Sniper, Demoman, and Engineer' And on that day, the unusual's value skyrocketed.

Fixed the Pyro's invulnerable period while activating the Phlogistinator lasting longer than the activation taunt Good enough.

Wow! No new festives at all? Maybe the pistol, because that is the only weapon with skins but no festive variant.

Darn, I was hoping the lack of knockback on the Loose Cannon was a feature scaled with distance. That's too bad, I guess the nerf didn't change much of what made the weapon intolerable at all.

[QUOTE] Fixed decorated weapons not getting the crit-boost material effect[/QUOTE] My favorite part of this update

[QUOTE=Fluury;49371753]Fixed the Pyro's invulnerable period while activating the Phlogistinator lasting longer than the activation taunt Good enough.[/QUOTE] At the very least Demos can now fuck Phlog Pyros up bad.

Any matchmaking related changes on the github repository?

What do these festivizers look like?

No new Festives then. What would have been worse; Tiered Festives or no Festives?

oh thank god, the festive boxes don't require an item to be opened they're FREEEEEE

What about the framerate problems from the Steam Beta?

Is it possible to use the Festivizer with Pistol skins? If so, then we at LEAST get a Festive Pistol out of it.

Why is everyone saying no new festives? Isn't the festivizer doing exactly that?

Holy crap, I just realized: We can put Festivizers on fucking HARVEST COLLECTION weapons. Christmas lights on weapons with Halloween-ish skins. The most garish, tackiest shit ever.
