Major Update Speculation Thread V4: Tonight's the Night For QR Codes - Games

Well guys goodnight, I'm going to force myself to sleep for 8hrs so I wouldn't have to wait that long for Day 2.. Thank you for sleeping pills.

[QUOTE] Meet the Pyro, is dropping in less than three days, and we decided to assemble a massive update to celebrate it.[/QUOTE] This better be real [B]MASSIVE[/B]

Nothing

[/QUOTE] heh yeah, i wasn't expecting valve to make such an uninteresting and unoriginal gamemode! dang they're good!

If you carry those caches on your back and can still use weapons, we might have another mode where the jumpers are broken

Did anyone notice the Day 3 counter on the pyromania page? And the text under it? [url]http://www.teamfortress.com/pyromania/[/url] Also, while going through the source code, i found this: [QUOTE]<div id="title"><img src="images/pyromania_title.gif" width="864" height="228" alt="Happy 25th birthday animated gif!" border="0"></div>[/QUOTE] So significance, just thought it was funny. Is it really the 25th birthday of the gif?

[QUOTE=Roninsmastermix;36483746]is it wrong to think that the TOBOR stuff might not be in this update? Unlikely that the saxxies are coming in as well.[/QUOTE] I'm inclined to believe this, too. Why would Valve want to blow it all in one update? I'm thinking they're holding back on these two things for now, to either last the rest of the year or simply because they're not quite finished yet. And I'm okay with this. At least we're getting some cool new stuff right now.

[QUOTE=Gamerman12;36483781] So significance, just thought it was funny. Is it really the 25th birthday of the gif?[/QUOTE] it was 2 weeks ago

[QUOTE=Roninsmastermix;36483746]is it wrong to think that the TOBOR stuff might not be in this update? Unlikely that the saxxies are coming in as well.[/QUOTE] We pretty much know nothing as they wrote very universal in the blog post.

[QUOTE=Hunkyy;36483767]First they showed the 3 days, then I think they launched the update, then little later made a blog post "And oh, we almost forgot" and it linked to the Meet the Medic[/QUOTE] No; they linked Day 4, which had Meet the Medic on it, then they linked "And oh, we almost forgot." ...which led to the F2P page. Meet the Medic was an hour~ before Day 4. But with Meet the Pyro, we have a timer.

Guys, the mystery text below Day 3 is gone now. [URL="http://www.teamfortress.com/pyromania/"]Check for yourselves.[/URL]

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36483780]If you carry those caches on your back and can still use weapons, we might have another mode where the jumpers are broken[/QUOTE] somehow i'm guessing soldier/demo have carrying animations, even if no one else does, to counter their mobility scout's the scout so i guess he can carry it..

heh that extra text is gone

oh crap, how can I concentrate at work when I see a blogpost this early???

[QUOTE=alwaysrage;36483822]Guys, the mystery text below Day 3 is gone now. [URL="http://www.teamfortress.com/pyromania/"]Check for yourselves.[/URL][/QUOTE] Looks like we need to follow this with extreme care if they're going to continue doing this.

Is it silly to be a little worried about not getting a halloween and christmas update this year?

[QUOTE=JZeeba;36483834]oh crap, how can I concentrate at work when I see a blogpost this early???[/QUOTE] Im in my office and guess what im doing?

Ninja'd

[QUOTE=alwaysrage;36483822]Guys, the mystery text below Day 3 is gone now. [URL="http://www.teamfortress.com/pyromania/"]Check for yourselves.[/URL][/QUOTE] Looks like they edited the b file instead of replacing it with the other file.

It was one the b file before (the one showed on the page)

So during the uber update. what was the time difference between the upload of the days themed page and then the easter egg page?

[QUOTE=Mr. Magoolachub;36483847]Is it silly to be a little worried about not getting a halloween and christmas update this year?[/QUOTE] They do those every year. The community would flip its shit if they didn't do them this year.

[QUOTE=Roninsmastermix;36483849]Im in my office and guess what im doing?[/QUOTE] Working?

[QUOTE=psyke;36483856]So during the uber update. what was the time difference between the upload of the days themed page and then the easter egg page?[/QUOTE] like 3 or 4 hours? iirc, the Detonator came a bit earlier than Bonk Boy

Wait, waitwaitwait, let me get something clear outta my mind, that, and the college finals I'm going through made me lose some of the track of the workshop items and what's happening with them There are two Grodbrort sets, Scout and Medic, right? But they just only showed the cosmetics in their Workshop so... those weapons will not appear? :[ (INCOMING BOXES AND CLOCKS)

I'm kind of disappointed the pyro might be Poopy Joe. I'm really hoping he's actually a Mexican man.

oh. my. god. IT HAS BEGUN.

the do not click thing was a mistake. they removed it. it will come back when meet the pyro is released. there will be an extra page.
