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

[QUOTE=spectator1;51241968]They managed to screw up things again, remember the glitched universal kits? They are back now apparently.[/QUOTE] Wait like ks kits?

[QUOTE=Demohamtheyum;51241934]garbage update with one decent map and two mediocre maps and next to no "good" cosmetics. the kicker is that they added brimstone (which is hellstone but a thousand fucking times less shit) and kept fucking hellstone in.

I mean, we can't change minds but personally I'm cool with the update. The contracts will work, gice them time. They get rushed by needy people as is, so we might as well give them a form of break. The maps bit i agree with. Altho slasher was late it's still a bit meh we didn't get a big exciting one like gorge_event was (at least, theme wise) Why would you delete the Gargoyle? They couldve brought Transmogrifying back randomly. I can't comment on comp because I avoid it like the plague Also, is this site known for community suggestions as much as Reddit is?

[QUOTE=YaDunGoofy;51241981] words words words Also, is this site known for community suggestions as much as Reddut is?[/QUOTE] Well seeing as like 80-90% of all community projects/maps/weapons come through here I would say ye

Pit of Death is a unique enough game mode, it really feels like a proper Halloween update map.

The Spy now has Sharp Dresser inspect animations. Is this new? I never noticed them before. Video coming It has two different idle animations, ooo. He also appears to have inspect animations for the other knives like the YER

Mine was at least.[/QUOTE] I had a sketch of a crown like this for TF2 as well, I based it also off of existing real life version of said crown. I wanted to try and make special crowns towards Comp matchmaking in hopes competitive matchmaking kicked off. If it did become popular, I was wishful thinking that Valve should hold maybe 1 or 2 annual tournaments by ranks and prizes could be stuff like these hats that can be kept till the next one kicks off and it goes to a new set of winners. Thought it could be used to motivate people to not only just play Comp MM, but a little tidbit that could push people to try and better themselves for potential fun. Never finished the concept though, got distracted and finally thought it was a fool errand to even try so I stopped lol. Not only that, but if it went via ranked you'd need like what, 20 different types of crowns per rank and thought it'd be a lot of over kill to try and make so many options lol.

It feels like every update at this point breaks the game for OS X/Linux (reportedly) players. I really don't want to buy a new PC just to play TF2 (especially when I get around 100 frames with my current computer), but I might have to at this rate...

On the plus side, at least trading and steam is still working. I remember in the past a major TF2 update would destroy the trade servers.

[QUOTE=protox;51242035]On the plus side, at least trading and steam is still working. I remember in the past a major TF2 update would destroy the trade servers.[/QUOTE] Too bad there's nothing to trade for in this update and you can't even do contracts to get items.

Question: Are the new cosmetics limited to Halloween, or are they year round? The tiers and the non-absurdity of them make me think they're year round, but I'm not sure. I mostly ask because of the Burly Beast hehe.

[QUOTE=Paysus;51242091][video=youtube;QOPOtqnFKxU]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOPOtqnFKxU[/video][/QUOTE] With all these new inspection animations and taunts, it's weird seeing Valve put so much care into animations as of late. Then you realise it's because they can monetise them this time.

This just in: An update to Team Fortress 2 has been released. The update will be applied automatically when you restart Team Fortress 2. The major changes include: - Fixed spooky OS X crash upon joining a server - Fixed not being able to gain progress on Merasmissions

OS X users hitting this will benefit from upgrading to 10.11 and lowering texture resolution (especially on intel graphics). Linux users with intel graphics should use the newest mesa driver stack available. Those using a 32bit kernel should consider switching to a 64bit distro if possible, to maximize available address space to 32bit processes. [/QUOTE] I wonder if porting the game to Vulkin would fix the issue (or even be possible for them to do).

[QUOTE=Jichael;51242125]- Fixed not being able to gain progress on Merasmissions[/QUOTE] Not to complain, But i've played 3 matches of harvest_event and i didn't get one point. And i did update it.

[QUOTE=Paysus;51242091][video=youtube;QOPOtqnFKxU]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOPOtqnFKxU[/video][/QUOTE] Still wish they'd animate the sharp dresser by having him conceal the knife till you get behind someone. Feels so weird with it being out all the time. Although, I presume it's so you can tell the spy has his knife out I guess.

[QUOTE=Rummy.SM;51242170]Not to complain, But i've played 3 matches of harvest_event and i didn't get one point. And i did update it.[/QUOTE] Hey I still haven't even gotten a Merasmisson, consider yourself lucky

Fucking love PD coming back, now with a Halloween makeover That mode was my favorite part about Invasion

why is no one talking about how they disabled badlands and granary in matchmaking?

Last thread

Is TF2 still down for anyone else?

Do the new spooky chests drop, or is the only way to get them through missions?

That one new KotH Halloween map has some insanely long sniper sight lines to it. Went sniper early on because they were shitting out heavies ( probably the biggest reason I go sniper in games ), and was murdering them left and right on the point, more so the the left side of the point....

tesla coil is probably my all time favorite unusual effect now

I try to join a server in TF2, but it says the "TF Coordinator service is not connected" and i've been waiting a while. What do.

Having an issue right now on helltower where my contract stops tracking progress as soon as a soul gargoyle appears on the map and then resets to 0 after the map ends.
