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

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;51256051]I haven't even gotten a single one.[/QUOTE] me neither, i maxed out my gargoyle last year, is that causing missions not to drop or something?

Are thyou creepy cases tied to the contracts? Because yeah. Day four here and nothing has popped up for me yet as well.

[QUOTE=Damoman;51256260]Are thyou creepy cases tied to the contracts? Because yeah. Day four here and nothing has popped up for me yet as well.[/QUOTE] You can get them from transmuting crap with the gargoyle as well. Just be careful what you transmute. I've gotten two of the spider cases doing this, one is untradable while the other one is tradable.

Cases were 2.50 yesterday and they're back up to 5 dollars. I wonder if market transactions make up the difference in not selling keys.

You have a chance to get a creepy case with a contract, but it's not 100%. With 10 contracts we have across 5 accounts in the household we only got 3 creepy cases for example. However you always get a untradable Halloween item when you complete a contract, in addition to a creepy case that you sometimes get and you can also sometimes get a spell page on top. You can transmute a creepy case as well, but chance is very low. [B]You can get a marketable creepy case if you use [U]only[/U] marketable items to make it, [/B]like description tags or vintage weapons for example. It's completely not worth it right now, as the case price has dropped significantly and chance is very low to get it, you'll end up with a untradable Halloween item instead. ----- Also small protip, anytime you get a contract in TF2 you should be able to see it as an item on backpack.tf or other backpack sites. [B] Item icon looks like this:[/B] [img]https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/apps/440/icons/quest_folder_blue.2a79acfadf46b84bbb2a08d463e8118bcf7d8de6.png[/img] So in case you are wondering if your hud is messing up viewing contracts, if you don't have that item, then it isn't.

[QUOTE=NeoDement;51256225]me neither, i maxed out my gargoyle last year, is that causing missions not to drop or something?[/QUOTE] Yeah I'm thinking that might be the case, I maxed out my gargoyle last year as well and still no missions.

It really bothers me that we got hellstone: electric boogaloo as a map this year when hellstone itself got such a negative response last year, especially when we had maps like spirit pit and slasher in the running as well at least maplewood and death pit are cool

[QUOTE=Void Skull;51256483]Slasher was submitted way too late to even be properly considered, but Valve definitely helped with some of its features and I'll be sure to improve it for consideration in next year's event.[/QUOTE] You submitted it, what, 4 days after their blog post when live? When they said the update would come in two weeks, not one? Sorry, but they can't bullshit about a missed deadline when there wasn't one to begin with.

Sorry, but they can't bullshit about a missed deadline when there wasn't one to begin with.[/QUOTE] Nah, Valve never said Slasher missed a deadline, I came to that conclusion myself. The initial upload for Slasher still needed improvements and it was still in development up until a day and a half before the update hit. There's always next year!

[QUOTE=Contra132;51256556]When they said the update would come in two weeks, not one?[/QUOTE] I appreciate that releasing the update earlier than they usually do isn't so good for people submitting things last-minute but this is an outright lie, they never said it would come out in two weeks.

People reporting getting their first two Merasmissions btw.

[QUOTE=protox;51256663]People reporting getting their first two Merasmissions btw.[/QUOTE] This is true, just got my first two missions of the event

i just got my third and fourth

About time, it only took... forever. :v:

I still can't get over how they didn't say in ADVANCE they weren't doing their own Halloween. Come the fuck on. Last year was really fun and I'm sure people having a full month to do map do-overs helped, not to mention a proper dead line. As opposed to radio silence, then "hey guys the old events are live in a week! and then there's new stuff" which confused the shit out of people as to how much time they had especially when they launched the event a week and a half after they said it was in a week. God damn. It was all so terribly managed.

JUST GOT A THIRD ONE TONIGHT OH GOD ITS TOUGH BREAK ALL OVER AGAIN

Got my 3rd and 4th as well.

[QUOTE=Mort Stroodle;51256569]I appreciate that releasing the update earlier than they usually do isn't so good for people submitting things last-minute but this is an outright lie, they never said it would come out in two weeks.[/QUOTE] They said that they'd reactivate the old updates in a week. This month the update itself went up far earlier than usual, so many people had the (very fair) assumption that the new content would go live within two weeks of the blog post. Even so, nothing that got accepted into the update (afaik) was uploaded [I]after[/I] they made the blog post. Instead of going public with a deadline, like they did last year and should have done this year, they let us wonder if we were even going to [I]get[/I] Halloween until the last minute.

Still got zilch :saddowns: [editline]25th October 2016[/editline] OH FUCK OFF I JUST LOADED UP TF2 A MINUTE LATER AND GOT 2 OF THEM

SUB ONE DOLLAR CASES ITS OVER

Well, I got two finally, finished one and got a third one... Started up TF2 again after finishing the three, and got two more...

Things I learned from Helltower -Skeleton King can enter spawn rooms -[URL="http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/245836995519603452/40E83771A882C45C0F56EA03433624ECB2B345E4/"]You can trap players inside of their spawn rooms by putting pumpkin bombs from the bomb spell near them[/URL] -One of the contracts for the map gives you 20 points if you touch the Bombinomicon at the end, but it doesn't have a cap so you can just touch the book 4-5 times and instantly finish your contract

got a 5th contract

Got my 6th. Makes me wonder if they somehow managed to fuck up the contract release cap

Apparently some people tonight have gotten a max of 7 contracts total. Average seems to be 2-4 contracts tonight [B]EDIT[/B] [QUOTE=Punchy;51257103]Got my 6th. Makes me wonder if they somehow managed to fuck up the contract release cap[/QUOTE] This is valve were talking about here, messing up standard limits is almost routine at this point

Wow you guys are right, i got my 5th and 6th as well. [B] EDIT:[/B] Got my 7th, wonder if it's the last as I'll be 21/21 at this point.

[QUOTE=Void Skull;51252032]... "deserved the hate they get" because "the main developer of TF2 is a [B][I]tr*nny[/I][/B] ponyf*g."...[/QUOTE] [B]Just how out of the loop am I?[/B] Was it a baseless claim or is Jill actually... ? Could anyone source me on this? Curiosity is now taking over me. Like what am I not seeing here? [t]http://i.imgur.com/re0tP2j.png[/t]

I just finished my first merasmission and got a creepy crawl case Strange Class Crown

Strange, today I got 4 missions. Is it supposed to be like this?
