Team Fortress 2 Update Coming - April 20th

So did anyone ever figure out why they are giving us the ability to permanently delete unlocks? The word permanent seems so...permanent.

Aye, pretty strange update to add. I can understand people not wanting to use some of the unlockable weapons, I ain't a fan of many of them to be honest, but permanently get rid of something you did pisstake achievements for? Valve's smoking the wrong shit.

Nothing great about this update. I'm dreading the sniper update, purely because open areas will no longer be safe to roam.

The ability to permanently delete unlockables has done what needed to be done ages ago: Punish retards and retards only.

I'm honestly tired of hearing all this "omg mmofps" stuff, and this limited information has only been out for a day. As far as it has been discussed in the past, there would just be random weapon findings for players to use. I'm sure paired with these changes, there will be a console variable that one can set to ban these random items from play, so your precious TF2 will be preserved in some parts.

I honestly wouldn't mind unless the items get out of hand. This is valve we're talking about though, and they don't let that kind of stuff happen. Besides, spies won't care. They'll all get one-shot the same regardless of what crap they're carrying... unless there's a helmet that grants backstab immunity.

I just hope the game stays more about "player skill" and less about SOJ's (diablo 2 shout out).

The game could really change from "I'm good cause I am" to "I'm good because I have a bunch of purple gear because I can play all day and kill people for good random items but without that stuff I'm just an 11 year old kid"

The more I think about this the less I think it'll actually happen but who knows?

Hmmmm I sure hope this doesn't mean that people will have access to rare or unique items (Diablo 2 style). That would be a horrible idea. The exception is if it is limited to a specific mod.

item_quality_chance_unique - Percentage chance that a random item is unique

item_quality_chance_rare - Percentage chance that a random item is a rare

item_quality_chance_common - Percentage chance that a random item is common

CScriptCreatedItem Unique

It's been part of the server.dll for quite a while now.

Hidden commands are useful, using those I was able to deduce that an "tf_arena_" was coming before Valve announced it.

I already mentioned this before. You can only store 1 of each unlockable at a time. If you don't like it you can delete it and earn a new one. Up to you to risk it. Though this functionality isn't fully implemented yet.

Many months you mean (at least since around Arena came out) . Refer to the item chance variables listed above. Infact. Here is a thread about us discussing those cvars from July 2008:

EDIT:

"TF_Unique_Headgear_Demoman" "Fro"

A Unique item revealed!

Demoman gets an afro!

Maybe they'll implement Cross-dressing / Gender change. I'd like to see a heavy in a dress.

This thread's for you.

Anyway, I'm excited about the options. I only saw the possibility of items in an inventory being used for like, medkits or grenades (lawl). I'd honestly like to see more character customization cause I'm a tool like that.

Right, I was merely saying that they pay extra for their gaming experience already

[LunchBox 10]

We donate to support Mana and the Lotus servers.

Lies!

All donation money goes to Gabe. He runs a secret ring of private servers and siphons off the donation money to make even more billions than WoW.
