Except it's a unicorn hat. That is pink.

With a Fluttershy mane atop it. Seriously, look her up, it's identical.

The funniest part about all this is that if they got rid of the mane, no one could make any connection towards MLP.

Well, except when the Soldier says "Friendship is magic."

I am reminded of heavy's fairy princess outfit: "Friendship is stupid magic".

Welp, just had this unicorn hat drop for me, and then the server crashed.

Also a bit annoying that all the Halloween costume drops are untradable, so no easy way to get the sets you want.

Edit: ah crash looks like it was due to new update that supposedly fixes the stability issues on the event map.

I just learned that an item of mine could sell for >90€ on the Steam Community Market.

Do I value 90€ worth of E-Peen over 80€ of steam wallet money?

[10ebbor10]

ow, which?

[Oliolli]

One of these.

[PTTG??]

Sell it now. In a year, it will be too old for anyone to cost a lot, and if you still like it then, you can buy it back dirt cheap.

[umiman]

Should probably sell it. It's unlikely the price will change at any point in the future other than downwards. Just look at the historical lifetime performance to get an impression. Not to mention that these things don't sell overnight and will probably take quite awhile to trade.

More balance on the crossbow in last nights patch.
Reduced damage from 75 to 50
Lower reload time from 3 seconds to 1.5 seconds

So lower single hit damage but higher damage over sustained fire. Have to wonder if it has also reduced the healing done on teammates by the same amount.

[10ebbor10]

IIRC, healing is just negative damage, so I assume it did.

Stealth update. New video short featuring the Medic, new CP map and two new MvM maps with some new mechanics and new upgrades for medic and soldier. Loot from the new MvM tour gives weapon effects if you are interested in that kind of thing.

The Mannhatten page actually came out yesterday.

Yay, more crates to refill Gaben's cupcake trough.

...oh, this update actually has things in it!


Goddamnit.



Wait, it is a real update! Probably still stupid crap though, they never actually rebalanc-



:O!


 I FORGIVE YOU GABEN! PLEASE, MINISENTRIES! PYRO! SPY!

But in all seriousness, that baby face blaster change is interesting. The amputator also looks crazy good now... I think it would've been better to give it the mark for death effect (like the GRU or escape plan) as well, but hey, ubersaw is still preferable in most cases.

[Metalax]

Expect another patch shortly, it appears that upgrade purchasing in MvM is fairly well mucked up at the moment.

edit: Hmmm... some testing with the Amputator now leads me to think that if you don't have the Blutsauger equipped you can't die from afterburn/bleeding if you have it out now(excluding if you are jarated).

[WealthyRadish]

The baby face's blaster pairs well with the winger now, and at this point it seems that there isn't much reason not to use it. The ammo reduction isn't relevant most of the time (if those 2 shots are really that important, should probably just be aiming more carefully, and you can always run away to reload), and double jumping once still leaves you as faster than a regular scout, so it's almost a straight upgrade. I don't like having to think about avoiding/limiting double jumps though, so I prefer the default scattergun still for more fluid movement.

I can see the amputator being really annoying when chasing down injured medics, but I'd assume most people will just pair it with the blutsauger to avoiding burning to death. I can see it encouraging battle medics, and I can't imagine why anyone wants more battle medics.
