New TF2 Update

[Cicatriz]

I'm not going to pass judgment on this until we get to play it but, I do find this funny.

"Attrib_FistsHaveRadialBuff" "On Kill: +50 Health on nearby teammates\nOn Kill: +10% Crit Chance on nearby teammates"

Group buffs meet TF2
TF2 meet Group buffs



"DiscardExplanation" "You picked up this item but you don't have room for it in your pack."
"ItemTypeDesc" "Level %s1 %s2" // s1 is the level number, s2 is the item type. Example: "Level 4 Medigun"

Facts- You will be able to pick up weapons. You can level up weapons.

Headgear might just be there for looks, but it could go either way.

Apparently the demo will have an afro?

 

[Vandall]

Apparently the demo will have an afro?

:O
This could get VERY interesting...

 

[Fragbait]

Oh yeah bring on the fro.

 

[Quest]

So, will the update to the sniper rifle allow you to shoot the hat off other people?


And....I certainly hope I don't have to level up weapons, collect drops and junk. All the reasons I don't MMO anymore. I want to be able to pull out a scout after not playing them forever and having his (not mine) abilities be the same as every other scout. Not based on how much time I've spent leveling my scout. *sigh*

I feel very worried by the possibility of levelling up weapons. The main thing I always loved about TF2 was that you could go in and play, people could have better skills but on weaponry you are all evenly balanced (relatively). If I want levelling up I will play warrock or numerous other mmofps that have level up features.

I dread the thought of one day going to a server to get killed lots by a level 30 backburner or whatever.

Currently stats and unlocks are very easily farmed, who is to say the same won't happen with levelling up weapons.

If random weapong drops are involved in this then someone inevitably will create a map with a high item drop (just like some of the custom immortal throne maps)

I worry, I really do.

-Edit-

And another thing, if they start bringing in custom outfits I am outta here. The simplicity of design was one thing the creators of TF2 really wanted to put across.....

Red team are red, Blu team are Blue, nice and simple. Too many user editable options and it gets like battlefield heroes where its hard to immediately determine friend or for with all the pointless snazzy costumes. *Rage*

If I have to turn PvP mode on I'm not gonna be happy

 

[Cicatriz]

TF2 is PVE......

I have a feeling the level mechanic might actually simply indicate your proficiency in the weapon or how often it is used rather than the actual power behind the weapon.

I cleared my stats because I had used some achievement servers to gain a few unlocks, and I wanted to start fresh.

Now I find that my total playtime is gone, and my work towards pyromancer and the total medic heal points is gone as well. This does not reset achievements, my rear.

THANKS, VALVE.

Also, deleting weapons? A backpack? Hats? Well, hats could be interesting as an obviously visible addition to give certain stat boosts or benefits.

But seriously... DELETING WEAPONS. Wow. Say hello to the new f10.

What did you expect? It says resetting your stats won't effect your achievements right on the menu. Just because you did something stupid doesn't mean its Valve's fault. It's made quite apparent that that's what would happen if you decided to reset your stats, and you did...and everything they said would happened happened. How is this Valve's fault?

And as for the deletion of weapons, I doubt anyone who's been playing long enough to get weapons to delete is ignorant enough to not understand what deleting them will do. Currently you have no reason to delete weapons; are not compelled to delete them, and yet still people are complaining about it. I truly am confused as to how people can get upset over these things.

 

[Vandall]

I wouldn't jump to any conclusions yet. Valve hasn't implemented anything totally gamebreaking, without fixing it, as of yet.

The way is was worded, I thought partial unlocks would be preserved, such as TOTAL fire damage, heal points, and play time.

I just wanted to clear my "best run" stats, which is was it certainly sounded like.

I wonder if valve released this just to give us a taste of whats coming, instead of changing it all over night, now we can think about whats coming instead of just BAM You got a whole new system to work with. But I dislike all the people saying there going to quit when they have NO idea what is actually going to be added or how. Valve is usually pretty good at this stuff, start bashing when the content is actually released, for all you know it could just be a new game mode or something. Either way i'm still going to be playing, change is good and it will probably make the game more fun. Tf2 isnt your normal shooter afterall.

 

[Stormrider^]

Come on guys. it's Valve. They can pull this off, why couldn't they?
...please tell me they can!? (><)

 

[OSVG]

Well if tf2 becomes riddled with mmo like stuff, I'm finding pure servers that do not allow all this possible new crap to go on. I seriously hope this doesnt come to pass. I fear tf2 is doomed; some people don't know when to quit expanding on a good game.

 

[Gryphon Osiris]

Demoman Fro?

He's one mean mother....

"Shut your mouth!"

Hey, I'm just talking about Demo.

 

[Sgt. McAwesome]

Demoman with a fro is going to be epic.

No if ya'll will excuse me, I have some useless Generic Shotguns to get rid of. =D


....if that's possible. =/

 

[Gnarkill]

Thats just stupid if people have to start deleting weapons in order to get room for new one's, Hope that never happens!

 

[Sgt. McAwesome]

Apparently I can't get rid of my Generic Shotguns. Crap.
