Who cares about weapons, let's add 80 hats and call it a day.

honestly TF2 updates these days are just money grabs now. Really makes me less interested in the game.
Also this game needs a ranked queue system so badly

Because weapons are so fucking easy to add, right? Especially when most of the time when the new weapons are added everyone bitches and complains about them hard enough that they get nerfed or reworked pretty much instantly? It's not like Valve is in a "screwed if they do, screwed if they don't" position with weapons, NO, DEFINITELY NOT.

[quote]Fixed server CPU spikes caused by compression of string tables and packets.
Added sv_netspike, sv_netspike_sendtime_ms, and sv_netspike_output convars for investigating server performance
net_compresspackets_minsize default value increased to 1024. This convar now also determines the threshold to determine when a "fragment" (logical game network message, before being broken up into network packets) is compressed.
Added vprof_vtrace and vprof_report_oninterval convars, and tweaked vprof_dump_spikes and vprof_dump_oninterval to reduce output[/quote]
yes money grabs

Optimizations & bug fixes aren't really content though.
Also by updates I think he means major updates, such as this one.
That's kind of a let down. Was hoping for a new map or new weapons.
There no maps or anything truly game related? Just hats?

TF2 peaked a while ago, it's only gonna go downhill now
[quote]New maps? Yawn. New weapons? BORING. We know what the community really wants: hats. At least that's how it used to be, back when times were simple and Pink as Hell was merely a bullet point on some drunk intern's list of "gRAt e tf2 ides". No, it's like the "tweens" today only seem to care about their newfangled robo-bots.
That's why, when Valve offered us the chance to make our very own "Official Team Fortress Update", it was obvious what we had to do (hint: make more hats). If we remember correctly, the conversation went something like this:
VALVE: Help, we forgot how to do our jobs! Please make a new update or else the giant iguana posing as Gabe Newell will fire us and have us escorted out by security in that order!
MODEST COMMUNITY MEMBER: Fear not, incompetent Valve employees, the community is here to save the day once again. We have but one stipulation: we will not make robot hats under any circumstances and that's final. Unless you pay us lots of money.[/quote]

Valve is pretty much aware of it.

they are aware that people who sink lots of money into a F2P game are statistically less likely to quit it since that'd make their money spent on virtual items "a waste". So they really don't have to do anything but half assed updated for the rest of TF2's lifespan

The entire update was made by the community, so someone (not valve) wrote that.
You guys keep saying "80 hats" like it means that Valve has done nothing but make hats, but weren't they all community-made?
[QUOTE=ElectricSquid;40681316]You guys keep saying "80 hats" like it means that Valve has done nothing but make hats, but weren't they all community-made?[/QUOTE]
Its actually 57 hats, which is less than what everyone is overblowing it to.
[QUOTE=ElectricSquid;40681316]You guys keep saying "80 hats" like it means that Valve has done nothing but make hats, but weren't they all community-made?[/QUOTE]
that's even worse, that means they are doing nothing at all
I wish valve would update DoD;s. They're gonna do it one day... right?
How dare they give me almost nothing in a game that costs nothing the bastards

Just because It's free to play doesn't excuse the fact that a company i respect for their work doesn't put forth any fucking effort into their game anymore. I haven't seen a single balance change in AGES. It's clear TF2 is nothing but a source of income for Valve now, and not much else. The game's been disgraced, ruined, and sold out. Fucking kills me to see this happen to a great game, too.
i remember when i made a thread on FP about quitting TF2 after a major trading update

look how that turned out
keep complaining, folks, you are still going to play tf2 and you're going to like it just as much after whining about the hats for three days just like i did

did anyone say otherwise?
literally one post above me says the game is ruined

you see, unlike you, i actually did quit because TF2 is a bloated piece of shit now.
it's just not fun, it's Economy Simulator 2013 (with guns)
It was way more fun when they initially released the class updates without all of the hat bullshit. As soon as they finished all 9 updates, the game was complete in my eyes. It's just needlessly bloated and not fun, because it was a game of strategy before. Now it's a game of 'guess which weapon the enemy have and try to use a better one'
[QUOTE=Doomish;40682064]literally one post above me says the game is ruined[/QUOTE]
did anyone [I]sensible[/I] say otherwise?
besides the guy above me of course
After the whole F2P Mannconomy thing I really stopped having fun with TF2 and I don't know why.
It still has the fun gameplay and stuff, so why is it not fun anymore after all this hat shit?
did you guys just completely miss the game part of tf2?
I don't understand how the fucking hats can be so distracting for you guys.

the gameplay needs updating, it's so 2007. And pubs are awful. Like seriously Valve, add ranked team queue like in Dota 2 please.

That's not really quitting.
