Final Major Update Speculation V37 - This is the last MUS thread. Speculate in General Chat. - Games

[QUOTE=geel9;52437309]I've been campaigning hard for Orbiting Geels, but so far Valve hasn't bitten. Though Driller has said it's "the best goddamn idea I've ever heard", so that provides hope.[/QUOTE] I know the likelihood of that being in jest is high, but I'm curious--did he actually say that?

[QUOTE=Ihauoli;52437244]Since we still have time to speculate, are there any Unusual effects you all are hoping make it in?[/QUOTE] still hoping for [URL="https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=709026984"]this[/URL]

[QUOTE=geel9;52437309]I've been campaigning hard for Orbiting Geels, but so far Valve hasn't bitten. Though Driller has said it's "the best goddamn idea I've ever heard", so that provides hope.[/QUOTE] But I thought orbiting flies was already in the game :cool:

Geel already has a[URL="http://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/753/300340-%3Ageel%3A"] Steam Emoticon[/URL], wanting an unusual effect in TF2 too is just greedy.

[QUOTE=Void Skull;52436939]Recently, some mappers have heard back from Valve that while there isn't a set deadline to report, they're still saying to keep working on their maps and get it on the Workshop as soon as possible. Keep this all in mind when hoping for an update - once maps are chosen, there'll need to be at least a few days for Valve and mappers to communicate and get everything that is needed sent over and set up. While there isn't a set deadline, they are still open to map submissions. There's still time before the update, even if we don't know how much.[/QUOTE] What I get out of this is that: - This week, as an Update week, is dead. - Next week, as an Update week, is unlikely since the timeframe would be rather tiny. - in 2 weeks however seems like the next realistic timeframe if you ask me. That "as soon as possible" is giving me hope given the drastic decisions the tf team sometimes makes but fuck if that message didnt kill the mood

Honesty I have always been in positive spirits with the TF Team but my patience has really met its end this week The fact that we have to wait longer than one entire year for this stupid update just for the game to finally be interesting again always annoyed me but the fact that we might have to wait 3 weeks [I]longer[/I] is just killing it for me, at this point it's not even excusable. like ive reached the point where id be fine with no workshop additions whatsoever if it means the Update is going to come 2 weeks earlier, im just done with my patience I know this is stupid and ive set myself up for this disappointment but around 300 or so people have done the same yesterday - I really dont wanna wait even longer Here is hoping for next week, even though fucking unrealistic atleast give us the emails as like a second prize

[QUOTE=C. Blades;52437990]In that case, i would have just cut out the middleman on narcissism and just made myself into a profile background/wallpaper, although this is a close second heh.[/QUOTE] Can you make custom profile backgrounds for Steam or are you referring to somewhere else?

I really want someone to make a sliding scale of fluury from april to august

This long wait time only makes me fearful for poor Heavy.

[QUOTE=Big Snake Bos;52438051]I really want someone to make a sliding scale of fluury from april to august[/QUOTE] This can probably used for more users than me in this thread. I even looked into the two possible timelines ahead of us for you [t]https://files.catbox.moe/2r1d3c.gif[/t]

Since the Pyro [url=http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=23536]is getting a pack of cosmetics and weapons in the update,[/url] what secondary and melee weapons could Pyro possibly get? There's already 4 flare guns and 2 shared shotguns, but how much more can you do with a new flare gun or a new shotgun without it being more of the same? And there's also 7 unique melee weapons, with at least one being a straight upgrade to the fire axe.

I do think the TF team is passionate but I do believe Valve small size is a big issue. A game that has millions of players a month and probably makes tens of millions of dollars a year should probably have more than 16 people and 5-6 programmers working on it. And yeah come on Valve spend a few minutes to answer the VNN questions for us this week.

Do we have any idea on how [I]many[/I] weapons we'll be getting in total?

[QUOTE=Hi5TBone;52438377]Do we have any idea on how [I]many[/I] weapons we'll be getting in total?[/QUOTE] The VNN interview with Dave Roller implied there would be one per slot but plans could of changed since that was several months ago.

I'd like to see a flamethrower that gives you more control over the airblast, maybe something that amps it up like demo's stickies, and then you can hold and release it with greater power at the cost of more ammo consumption or something like that. It shouldn't be able to affect invuln targets tho that would be op. Moreover, maybe a weapon that makes the airblast do a little damage? Burning dmg maybe? But it can't blow fire constantly... So there will be a generation of w+m2's? How about, [B]The Airblast Jumper![/B], idk just a thought. Airblast can be a fun utility and I would really like to see more newbers getting into it.

Hopefully the existing flamethrowers will feel brand new due to changes to flame particles and airblast behavior.

maybe with the heavy update we'll finally see another grordbort pack? [sp]probably not[/sp]

[QUOTE=Mockingbird;52438441]Hopefully the existing flamethrowers will feel brand new due to changes to flame particles and airblast behavior.[/QUOTE] I've been wanting this for at least a year or two. Besides heavy balancing, it's basically the one thing I want out of the update. The Flamethrower should have a higher skill ceiling. It should require you to aim and practice, but not require you to load a listen server and use tf_debug_flamethrower 1 just to learn how the aiming works. Side note, the Flamethrower should also be significantly more powerful.

Making the Flamethrower hitscan would be an easy fix for a lot of the issues with flames, though I wonder if they'll continue trying to make it work with projectiles
