Odd pacing of news if it works out that way
[QUOTE=Danzflor;36489767][I]HEY GUISES WE JUST GOT A NEW, ORIGINAL, GAMEMODE, JUST THAT, VALVE IS A PIECE OF SHIT.[/I]

It's not original. Seems like the King of the Hill/Arena/Payload Race tier, as in, recycled. It looks like a recycled CTF mode with only one team carrying the suitcase, but I'm really hoping it feels more than that. I can truly understand why some people were disappointed, Valve has been teasing us with robots and a brand new refreshing game mode for over 6 months, and no sight so far. That's why I can't wait for tomorrow and Wednesday. If they reveal something like this on the first day I bet we'll have something much better in the next few days. Rate me rainbows.
[QUOTE=BanthaFodder;36489765]I find it funny how everyone expects *PROBABLY SPOILER* [sp]Poopy Joe's rocket to actually take off[/sp] rather than [sp]explode along with its nuclear payload, wiping everyone out[/sp].
Note how it's called [sp]DOOMSDAY[/sp] and how we found all those [sp]sound files for nuclear explosions[/sp].[/QUOTE]
I'm pretty sure, seeing one of the achievment it'll take off then crash.
so with 2 days left what is going to happen to the other junk items. i don't really want them taking up tons of inventory slots anymore but i dont want to delete them
[QUOTE=Pinkamena;36489817]...reliving one of the darkest days in TF history...[/QUOTE]
At the end of the round, the rocket explodes, and the Enforcer is released with original stats.
If everything over the last 6 months has been misdirection, I am going to be... upset.
So, can we deduce that Pyro will get a weapon set/hat on Day 3 that will correspond to Meet the Pyro? I believe the text above Day 3 said something like "Don't click until you've watched Meet the Pyro".
You guys should not be so disappointed in case this update won't be as big as we thought it would, because in all honesty I believe this Pyro-themed updated got out due to the fact that Valve knows it has been so [B]so[/B] long since a major update, so they just wanted to pull out something neat and of course give us the long awaited Meet the Pyro.
That doesn't necessary mean though that we WON'T get the tobor-mod in this update, but we shouldn't be expecting this update to be as massive as we've been dreaming it to be these last 6 months. After all, this update is mainly focused on the Pyro.
Still, I could be wrong and this could be a hell of a big update with lots of terrific new content. Whatever the case may be, I just want you all to try and stay as positive as possible for whatever we might get, because all that ''ugh, this is disappointing'' attitude is really killing off the mood and making me doubt myself if I like this update or not :(
A lot of new guys are confused because it's called a multiday update, while it's a one day update with build up.
[QUOTE=COSTA;36489827]It's not original.[/QUOTE]
It is for the mode, and I've seen no people complaining on Payload Race. But, yeah, ok, a lot of people hate Medieval mode.
MODES REMIXED, YEY!
Haha I was just thinking about it and I realized how well Valve has been stringing us along. Last week we were so determined that Friday was the night, due to overwhelming signs. For the first time in forever it looked as if the Pyro update was around the corner. The way Valve got us to follow along was great. They update it just up to the 299th update daily, squares in on Friday, and then boom, hits us with a blog post that translates to one word, "Monday". Now, we're in the midst of a build-up update that'll hit Wednesday for the 300th. They really have a way with generating hype.
With this Pyromania update there is 2 possibilities.
1. They release stuff on the days and a bunch of other things on links (like the banana)
2. It's only the days
Either way, things are looking good.

Usually I think the community is somewhat responsible for feeling let down because they build up so much hype, but this time, I think Valve only has themselves to blame.
Edit: Let me clarify; I'm saying that if this update turns out to be, say, no bigger than the last Australian Christmas, then they shouldn't have made the blog post sound like this was the update we've been waiting for for half a year. Based on that blog post, I'm expecting a Manniversary number of hats, and hoping for an Uber Update number of weapons.
Was 50 hours so important to them that they released the blog so early and let us stew on build up fears about it...

Its a day in. Hold your fucking horses, there is no rule for how much content will be released each day.
I'll probably never get to play the new gamemode anyway.
All the servers within a decent ping of my location are either idle or 2fort. :(
I like the countdown ticker because now I know exactly when the video will be!
So I can cancel my plans in advance.
MtP is far more important than hanging out with girls who I won't get laid with anyway.

Maybe 'original' isn't the best term I should have chosen, but clearly one can agree that Payload Race, King of the Hill and Arena modes weren't completely revolutionary or brand new game modes, they were simply variations of already existing game modes in TF2. Doomsday seems go in the same direction. Personally I'd think it would be much more interesting if the fuel carriers wouldn't be able to use their weapons at all. But I certainly shouldn't judge the gamemode this early, we'll wait and see.
Now, a raid mode, something survival/wave-defense-ish game mode everyone seems to be waiting for-- that would be something completely new and refreshing, and completely different from what we're used to and from what we already have. I love Killing Floor. A similar gamemode in TF2 would be diamonds.

I give an ultimatum. There had better be at least 42 new items released in this update, or I ally with Prussia and raze Siam.
I really don't get why everyone is so upset. It's only the first day. Chill, and wait to see if they do more instead of bitching about they way they've worded it. Bitch after Wednesday has passed.

I don't know why you would respond to me with that. I'm not complaining about Day 1, and I haven't complained once. Every time I look at that Doomsday page, a big smile comes over my face. The artwork alone makes me excited about TF2.
What I'm saying is that if Days 2 and 3 don't have a lot of content, the community will be justified in feeling like Valve dropped the ball, since they promised a "massive" update this week.

The only people I see "bitching" on this page are people who think we're complaining.

42 reskins released.
[QUOTE=01271;36490004]42 reskins released.[/QUOTE]
NEW ITEMS. I give you my word as a gentlemanne. Our autogyros and ornithopters shall block out the sun, and Siam shall be consumed in terminal conflagration by the week's end.
[QUOTE=01271;36490004]42 reskins released.[/QUOTE]
I would take that over 42 Enforcers.

>Gets the fuck out.
I dunno if it was already said, I might have miss it.
Do you guys think there might be a Day 4? An extra day, the day of the update shipping?
I dunno. Wouldn't it be weird to get an update on Wednesday? Especially a day-by-day?
Here's what gonna happen in Meet the Pyro, right when the Pyro takes off their mask, the screen will go black, and you'll here in Gman's voice "Dr.Freeman....", then a trailer for Half Life 3!!!!!!!!
