Major Update Speculation V35 - A Distinctive Lack of Communication - Games

[QUOTE=Freeze;51649807]ha. i [I]knew[/I] they forgot. smissmas 2013 had even less than 2016 and is on that page so it'd have been weird for them not to add it.[/QUOTE] At least it had balance changes.

[QUOTE=Hell-met;51650542]I can't shake off the feeling that the majority of one-of-a-kind items are ultimately wasted out of the game forever because they either landed randomly on joesmith1995 who played a few hours at some point or the people with talent barely having interest in tf2 as a game. dota2 hats, gwrench, saxxy, that camera reskin thing (seemingly the rarest), gpan, or those weird impossible unusual hats. and yea im butthurt[/QUOTE] Yes, many of those items would get a lot more love and care in the hands of others, but that's how the cookie crumbles. The Dota 2 hats were a nice gesture, but yeah, they knew it wasn't the best idea since they never did it again. Would be nice if they could be made available to everyone somehow, like getting tossed onto the store. Golden wrench: Those were so long ago I doubt most original owners still play. A bunch were destroyed for charity, some accounts sold and/or hijacked (speculation), original owners still play, or they collect dust. Actually am interested to know the fate of each one. A comeback would be more than welcome as well. Saxxy and camera: I see no issue with these, honestly. They're rewards which mostly attract those with at least some interest in TF2 and the skill needed to compete. Though I won't lie, most who have developed enough skill also take on the responsibilities of adulthood, or will within a year or two. I can personally assure you that the active players still give theirs plenty of love and care. Golden pan, expensive unusuals, rare glitch items: The lucky people that know their value will sell them, the unfortunate people that don't will probably get scammed, and the items usually end up in the hands of those with too much disposable income and/or poor impulse control. Not much else to comment on.

[QUOTE=Sheer Visor;51651382] how do gpans drop anyway?[/QUOTE] Stupidly, I mean really low drop chance from Two Cities MVM and the expert missions. Some others too, I think. Fun fact: Me and my friend saw one of the first gpan drops, it was some smaller utuber that got it.

[QUOTE=Sheer Visor;51651382]how do gpans drop anyway?[/QUOTE] There's a chance to get one from advanced, expert, and two cities mvm tour completion.

[QUOTE=Sheer Visor;51651382]how do gpans drop anyway?[/QUOTE] nobody knows but I strongly suspect it's just a copy pasted golden wrench, except the specific times chosen are automated/randomized rather than scheduled. were it a static value rolled on every match end there'd be far far more drops in total. Even 0.01% would be astronomical.

Even 0.01% would be astronomical.[/QUOTE] There's no reason at all that a static value would be inherently dropping more. They could have it at 0.00000001%. However, you would see trends in more golden pans dropping when more people were playing MvM if it were static.

[QUOTE=Mort Stroodle;51651528]There's no reason at all that a static value would be inherently dropping more.[/QUOTE] it would mean every single player rolls for the chance, constantly. every day every week. while a specific time means only the first player to finish a tour after the pan is "triggered" would get it. The 2nd reflects the current state of pans alot more accurately

Let me find the post again- I'll look at the number of overall ratings, then run through an RNG to determine who gets to choose the line.

[QUOTE=Oizen;51650759]He's still not going to do it. :smug:[/QUOTE] i recognize this was pretty transparently meant to goad me into doing it but i said previously that i would stick by my original terms i haven't done anything to betray them before now and i won't start now- really don't know why ya'll expected me to deliver for something that had no personal benefit to me before the requirements were met

How on God's green Earth do the Saxxies count as a major update?

You're basically saying "the chance is too high" well then maybe the chance is lower.

I don't remember which one of you guys did it, but [sp]someone on here predicted the Demoman's alcoholic blood right on the nose about half a year ago. Good job.[/sp] Sorry for the blackout, I didn't want to spoil it for anyone who just got here.

That was pretty good

[QUOTE=Contra132;51652369]what even is the spoiler tag on FP? [spoiler] isn't working[/QUOTE] it's [sp] [sp] like this [/sp]

Reading the comic made me really appreciate just how well the TF2 mercs are written. It reminds me of that post a few months back about just how deep and diverse the personalities of the mercs are in-game and I'm really glad the comic presented them as such and really well. It's a really goddamn good comic and even though it was a year overdue, I think it was worth it.

Why is young Administrator hot Oh no

[QUOTE=demilicious~!;51652399]Why is young Administrator hot Oh no[/QUOTE] Because young attractive females are generally regarded as hot?

Worth the wait in my opinion. Plus we got that [sp]Heavy on Heavy[/sp] fight we wanted without Soldier fucking it up. Just curious as to what the end game of this comic is gonna be. Think it'll take another year?
