It also was a completely random set of bannings - only some topics got deleted, and only some shitposters permabanned. But Scorched Earth is definitely an... Interesting forum strategy
Imagine joking about anything that isn't 100% positively viewed huh
goddamn this game is quiet
Some guy approached me offering to sell me a Genuine Boiling Point code after I kinda gave up a search for obtaining one without buying the actual cookingware. We came to an agreement and he said he'd send the code first. He was honestly worrying me a bit because he basically said "higher tier traders never scam people" so he's not worried. I told him that is absolutely not true and that he should be cautious of literally everybody you trade with. I had to tell him even though I have no intent to steal from him I'd still recommend taking screenshots of the agreement between him and I just so he's protected.
We should be past the point of jokes, the team has operated in an archaic and unacceptable manner for years. It stops being humorous and simply becomes sad.
i have this suspension they are porting tf2 to source2 or something pretty big. butidk
even csgo isn't source2. you think their first big source2 announcement is gonna be a bug riddled expired 11 year old product?
All we know is they're working something large and they finally figured out how to stop leaks, stop updating the game at all between major updates.
You not finding something funny doesn't mean people shouldn't make jokes about it Like dude if jokes about TF2's development are enough to upset you, you seriously need to be better preparing yourself for its death. This isn't healthy.
Sure, it's almost as unhealthy as having a compulsion to nitpick others on a forum.
You are the one nitpicking here. You are the one who cannot get over your ideological purity tests for anything regarding TF2. TF2, just like everything anyone has ever liked, is going to die and I doubt anything that you like nearly as much will replace it. It is going to happen. You being mad at the games industry for not making more TF2s will not change this. Everyone deals with disappointment. Everyone deals with losing something they like. Not everyone chooses to joke police because they can't handle others joking about things that they like.
I just hope before TF2 dies they actually finish the damn comic.
tsk don't nitpick on exor he might call you out on the next thread he makes.
Exor, you might wanna consider trying out Paladins if you haven't already. I recently picked the game up again after watching a (great) video essay on why it's so much better designed than Overwatch, now that they've been rid of the stupid cards reforged or whatever system they tried forever ago. I had played it prior (like a year and a half ago) and while it wasn't great I still enjoyed it, but after trying it out again, I've been really having fun with it. The character designs are meh, but the base gameplay is interesting enough, and I get the same kind of visceral satisfaction and gratification of trying out weird loadout shit and being good at shooters that I do with TF2. It hits a nice balance between the complexity and focus on movement and planning of MOBA gameplay, and the sheer skill and accuracy required to be good at shooter gameplay. I'd honestly recommend this to anybdoy else in the thread looking for something to hold them over between dry periods in TF2: try out Paladins. It's free, you've got nothing to lose. It does have some bullshit in it, like requiring you to buy every character, the Battle Pass system, having to pay to do Events (you have to buy skins, but the current event literally amounts to just buying minor cosmetics so take it as you wish), and it's much more complex because of the card system that has been in the game from the start, but it's been a blast trying every character, and they all feel fun and satisfying to play.
Not getting an ending to the comic would be worse than no Half-Life conclusion (for me, anyway). No Half-life "only" mean that we never found out how it ends, but with the TF2 comic it is also about finding out what they were going for. It does seem to be about the end of both the PvP story AND MvM so what the heck were they going to do after that!?
Just dont spend any money on it, some of the skins look pretty good but pretty much everything the game has to offer thats paid isnt worth it All champion pass unlocks all and future champions and refunds gold (the "free" currency) for already unlocked champions which sounds nice, but theres no use for golds except for unlocking champions and colorswap skins so you're better off grinding for specific champions you want Grinding for gold used to be kinda ass but it's alot better now that theres multiple ways to earn them outside match rewards sorry not related to TF2 but kinda wanted to mention that
What? Hi-Rez is garbage at a lot of things, but they are a huge reason why games these days even have an "all current and future characters" pack. It started catching on because they've had that deal for Smite for years. You pay $30 and you have every character in the game, all future characters, and occasionally some bonuses. That's huge, especially for MOBA games like Paladins right now where that pretty much amounts to $1 for every character, or Smite where they easily have almost 100 characters. I'm not certain this is how it works in Paladins because I bought a founder pack like 2 years ago, but I have every character and every one of their golden abilities that you pick at the beginning of matches, which are huge for changing up gameplay for them, and seem to otherwise only be available if you get mastery on the respective character. It's a good deal, especially considering how much support Paladins has gotten and is still getting. If you want to grind to unlock characters, then go for it, but Hi-Rez's champion packs will always be worth it as soon as their character count for any of their games reaches over 15.
Unfortunately in this case there is no way to protect yourself because no one is going to investigate a scam involving a redeemable code, the only protection you could have is to not do such a trade
yeah I remember buying a skin on smite cause I wanted to support the free game really early- later they put it in a pack when it released to the public (or something) that costed less. not only did they give me every character in the future, they gave me all the skins in this pack and refunded me then doubled my currency thing, so that was really cool. very respectable gesture considering most companies would tell you to get fucked, I soured on hi rez thanks to the tribes disaster and it wasn't helped when they straight up ruined paladins br mode before a holiday (as far as I know the game literally never recovered from this) but I still always believe their f2p bypass systems are pretty decent if you actually like the game - for sure that if I actually liked paladins, unfortunately I don't because the DM is too easy, I would definitely buy the pack I literally quit smite because hi-rez changed the model+noises for my main and I didn't like him anymore, but it's still probably my favorite moba behind dead island riptide (don't @ me that game was incredibly good)
hey we havent done this in a while; its update week and im currently looking out of the window and it's just a bunch of shit-tier snow ew winner gets, people get selected depending on what scenario takes place, vote with ratings. https://i.imgur.com/nnKuX9P.png predict what the update this week is gonna be [SNOWFLAKE] Big boy Update with 2/3/whatever days/content of 2 days. Roughly the size of Jungle Inferno to something like Gun mettle/Love and War. May or may not be heavy themed. [BIG WOOP] Blue-moon tier Update with smaller adjustments, maybe some balancing. Medium-sized like a happy meal at Mcdonalds for 30 year old boomers. [SYMPATHY] Small Update like the ones before; We get a case, taunts maybe, a few bug fixes/casual changes, that's it. This option includes it quite literally only being a case. [ASSHOLE] We get absolutely nothing apart from holiday mode being enabled; TF2 is dead, play paladins. [LUCKY] Something completely unexpected. Includes: An announcement for something people wouldn't believe/predict, final Comic chapter, Asteroid, Battle royale, you know it. have fun and if the update drops and I'm busy playing with the new heavy harpoon gun please remind me of this
Hey guys! Aren't we all dead?
TF2 development may die, but not the game itself. There's still nothing like it on the market to this day, and once the popularity of the game dwindles, community servers will most likely rise again.
I hate this defeatist mindset so much. Stop calling doomsday when it's more than 5 years away.
I'll take you up on that once I have my machine up and running.
I've been secretly playing Paladins whenever I get burnt out in TF2. It's pretty damn enjoyable. And the best part is, it has braindead people just like TF2 so you can pull off stupid killstreaks that shouldn't have worked otherwise.
afaik you have all the legendary cards because you had access to all champions before they remade the card system or you were a founder, otherwise you still have to level up champions to unlock them even with champion pack I'd buy the character pack for Smite since there's stupid amounts of characters to unlock and I could say the same for Paladins if the champion rosters were all worth having, but right now some champions have been blatantly better than the others that I dont think its worth having access to all champions only to have couple of them isolated and unused And I take back what i said about not spending any money since i would and already have bought skins and stuff, I just meant that you might be better off not invest much into the game since you never know when Hirez would do something stupid again also i didnt mean to rate you snowflake, it was a misclick
Since we have 0 info anyway, there is Team Fortress 2 package which was created 6 days ago. https://steamdb.info/sub/330198/history/

Is this another case of "Happened to all valve games lol" or do we have a 1cm straw to grasp on?
TF2 and Doom 2016 are done for.
