Sweet Dreams demonstration video

This promo is actually the first one that has interested me in a while. Two reasons:

It could be hinting at the return of the sleep status.
The pillow weapon, which is a Cold Iron Vanquisher with a medium bonus instead of high and stun, has the ability to hit friendly players with the charge for a small amount of damage. Is this intentional? I don't know! I'd certainly appreciate a statement from the GMs about this because I'd love to get one but it'd kind of suck if they'd just remove the friendly fire right after I did. Edit: the ability to damage teammates has now been removed.

Never ninja'd an entire thread before

27 seconds buffer time there.
But hey, I'm hoping for a return of sleep. Also, pretty sure that weapon is intended for pillow fiiiights!

... Which is a shame because it's a small percentage to get one to fight someone else with, but at least it isn't behind a 2% wall with 5 other items.

Here I was thinking I wouldn't throw more money at Three Rings this month...

May say something about the update in that case: It's not completely a reskin of another promo, cool.

It wouldn't be a proper slumber party if you couldn't mercilessly beat your friends with a pillow.

The charge can't damage lumbers either.

First off.... another box exclusive weapon?
Second..... You can hurt allies with this weapon? Let the griefing begin!

Sweet-Hope

Weapon and Shield Exclusive from prize boxes.

you know i honestly dont mind when they are just reskins, but when they offer new "things" (like Mixmaster) then i really get kinda upset. i would like to test the pillow but not gonna spend anymore on this game, but as celestial saber, probably the pillow have some drawbacks (as fehzor said charge can damage lumbers).

well i guess while people keep paying them for bringing unique weapons from prizeboxes then they never going to stop that.

at least the teddy bear it just a reskin. the pillow according to this thread can damage players and have medium bonus? (bonus sword damage?) so practically its nothing to worry about, the thing its really a problem when those weapons come as "unique" such like the mixmaster and you dont have ways to get an alternate weapon that acts like the mixmaster. people only will use the pillow while the promo "Hype" last after that they going to swicht off to their usual weapons because honestly they dont use the calibur line (thats why people didnt know the "Lack of flinch" enemies from the celestial saber and i know it since they added it to the game).

then again nothing to worry, my worries was the "pillow" could inflict sleep status at random times like celestial saber, good thing it wasnt like that

The most important question is: does the "Z" on the Wooly Onesie costume stand for "zipper" or "sleeping?"

Why do we need to have a

Why do we need to have a demonstration video? Why can't this be new content like everything else in the game? Coulda just sold it in the supply depot for a limited time. Pump more Energy into the economy instead of 9K per share right now.

So many dumb decisions. =w=

I'd honestly be prepared to give a small amount of cash for it, but I don't wish to gamble, nor do I want to support such business practices. Sadly, if it were actually sold for energy I'd probably buy it for energy I already had in the game, or buy TF2 keys and sell them to other players as there's a huge imbalance between the value of those and the value of energy because so many people wish to move their funds from SK to their steam wallet.
