The Uber Update - Games - Facepunch Forum

What time should the next page be released?

[QUOTE=Benlecyborg;30613708]You're all thinking negative Sure F2P may bring in an influx of bad players, but it will also bring in an influx of [i]good players[/i][/QUOTE] I sort of hope that Valve separates the F2P from the P2P version like Runescape (hurr durr runescape is dumb). Its not fun when you are new and you get creamed by a TF2 veteran or your team loses because they have no idea how to play.

[QUOTE=ThePunisher1;30613893]What time should the next page be released?[/QUOTE] Any second now... [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/rainbow.png[/img]

Dumb theory,prepare your boxes... Valve puts final combat (the tf2 rip off) in steam as a free to play game.

[QUOTE=Jrock455;30613870]How does that have no correlation? He said they will lose income if they made it F2P, when they have the mann co store for items. And for the premium they could make it you could get dropped items and trade, but if you werent premium, you would have to pay for items.[/QUOTE] True, but I doubt they'd do any premium type stuff. I think they'll use the Mann Co. Store as a way for the new players to get weapons faster if they don't want to take the time to do achievements, craft or wait for drops. There's impatient people out there.

My money's on that the page is released on the exact hour.

[QUOTE=Ducksink;30611587] [IMG]http://www.vitamin3d.com/bilder/rokoko.jpg[/IMG] And there's plenty more where that came from[/QUOTE] I like how the mullet suits better when it doesn't have a proper texture. Or whatever this is supposed to be, it just doesn't have anywhere nearly detailed texture as the current one does.

[QUOTE=Benlecyborg;30613940]Bwahah that'd be hilarious. I KIND OF want that to happen now.[/QUOTE] I SO want that to happen with the promo hat too

The only problem I have with TF2 becoming F2P is the uprising of the cry baby F2P community. Really if I join a server and use my weapons I got from crafting/achievements/drops since 2007 and then whined at for being a "Wallet Warrior OP weapons" I'm getting the fuck away from TF2 forever.

So uh so i dont make any more [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/box.png[/img] posts about time... When will the page be avaivable in my country please? :eng99:

What time does the page update?

So fuck reading >1,200 posts of nonsense like we get every major update. Quick rundown, what do we know other than what's on that page and what can we expect? OP should really be updated with this kind of shit.

[QUOTE=JJ Webby;30613954]My money's on that the page is released on the exact hour.[/QUOTE] Well, bollocks.

Another few hours, I'd say. It's only 1 pm for valve I think. They usually update stuff around 5 or 6 est.

I'd guess around 4-5 pm pacific time. That's when most updates happen.

[QUOTE=hexpunK;30614030]Quick rundown, what do we know other than what's on that page and what can we expect?[/QUOTE] Go look for that Steam Translation Server leak. It's that. Off the top of my head: a minigun which can shoot down projectiles, the dumpster soldier set and Pilk's storm clouds unusual effect.

Why don't they think about the European time zones? It's already 9pm in the UK.

I've been thinking.. this updating is going to be a blessing and a curse. A ton of new content, but it's going to take a while to collect all the weapons. And also the inevitable "trading new heavy minigun for 3 max heads" and other idiotic trades that are going to erupt ingame. Ehh.. the best thing to do is hope that Valve gives every single new weapon a simplified crafting recipe like they did with the last packs. Inb4rainbows.

[QUOTE=JJ Webby;30614124]Why don't they think about the European time zones? It's already 9pm in the UK.[/QUOTE] Because they are a US based company maybe? I was lucky, most UK/EU users got fucked over by the medals thing, but I had slight insomnia, so I was still up when the thing became active. It's a pain in the ass that they never time anything decently for us. But we deal with it and move on.

[QUOTE=JJ Webby;30614124]Why don't they think about the European time zones? It's already 9pm in the UK.[/QUOTE] They're an American company. Page 2 will still be there when you wake up in the morning.

[QUOTE=Dreadknoght;30613732]I can't say, but VALVe aren't idiots, if they make the game free to play they will have dropped income. Also, how did you guys think it was going F2P, or is it just mindless rumors?[/QUOTE] everyone and their grandmother already has a copy of tf2 because of all the sales

Well actually F2P isn't that bad, I can show off my unusual to teh noobs :smug:

[QUOTE=JJ Webby;30614124]Why don't they think about the European time zones? It's already 9pm in the UK.[/QUOTE] Why [b] should [/b] they? Just go to bed if you're tired / have something to do and check it tomorrow? DUH?

It went to day 2? I still can't go to day 2.

[QUOTE=hexpunK;30614204]*cough* timed events *cough*[/QUOTE] And? The only timed event I can remember was the medal ,and they learnt from this. The mac update with the earbuds from a mac was for a couple of days, more than enough time. If you mean something like "being there when it happens" then tough luck? Then stay? "I wanna stay but it's too late why don't they considerate their time for us here" is basically what you're saying, which isn't too.. I don't know, you can either stay or watch, but you choose a third impossible option that is "why don't they change the time they'll do it", it's just a bit awkward.
