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

[QUOTE=RainbowStalin;36441128]Had one riddle yesterday, leaving six left. We get another one today so there are 5 left. Then we get one for each day of the week next week, provided they stick with the week long update format they normally do.[/QUOTE] Oh come on, you really think that Valve will force us to decode images from goldfish?

But which of these is correct can only be determined by the fresh information which we shall no doubt find waiting for us." quote from same chapter .Dont think give anymore of these.

[QUOTE=WarrenMax007;36441189]Oh come on, you really think Valve that will force us to decode images from goldfish?[/QUOTE] You obviously don't know how Valve works.

[QUOTE=Mr. Magoolachub;36441106]Not according to them though, according to them there's been 294 updates because they don't count ones without patch notes. [b]Edit:[/b] Dear JohnnyGoGo, [url]http://tf2.com/history.php[/url] that is all, -Magoo[/QUOTE] This counter hasnt been updated in a while. [QUOTE=testinglol;36441107]check lines.[URL="http://pastebin.com/zqy2HYi2"] this[/URL] is the all updates[/QUOTE] One of these updates didn't add anything to the game. It was an update to counter-strike and tf2 downloaded anyway. Yesterdays update was 299th.

since we know how the decoding process works, if it's the same format as the bananas we'll have it done in record time provided we can get all the codes in.

[QUOTE=Psycho_Shadow;36441314]since we know how the decoding process works, if it's the same format as the bananas we'll have it done in record time provided we can get all the codes in.[/QUOTE] Possibly. I'm not sure how motivated everyone would be a second time. Remember SOPA? Everyone and their grandmother fought that but you don't see the same dedication for similar ones since.

[QUOTE=Psycho_Shadow;36441314]since we know how the decoding process works, if it's the same format as the bananas we'll have it done in record time provided we can get all the codes in.[/QUOTE] We figured out what the format was maybe an hour after the update hit, and we still didn't finish for another 8 or so hours after that? Sure, now we've got better infrastructure for dealing with the codes, but collecting them from people won't go that much faster. EDIT: @below: as long as I doesn't require us to spam the spammiest classes all weekend, that sounds fun. Poor QC.

I think some content is coming tonight Like the War update, the first part of the update will involve us actually playing TF2 to achieve a goal of some kind. Even if it's finding pieces of cheese that fly out of dead players or something. This entire update is paralleling the War update in its content. Poopy Joe, Robots, some sort of meta-game community activity.

[QUOTE=Amager;36440671][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ITdbj.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] But banana peels = poopy joe Also, I think that the goldfish comes from the fishbowl that was emptied to use as monkeynaut helmet

day 1 on a friday? I think today is capacitor day, since it has today's date on it. I figure the capacitor will be some kind of in-game game, like collecting them from killed bots or something [editline]22nd June 2012[/editline] Also it was a good move to make a new thread before I went to bed, this thread would have been pretty much at the limit

Poopy Joe has been in Hell, and now he's back, with an army of robots.

I have this suspicion that this is simply Valve's answer to people getting restless about lack of updates. And while I'd prefer just having an update drop already, I have to appreciate their attempt to placate us while they continue polishing in-game content. On the other hand, I'd love for them to start bringing in more gameplay-related elements, like the Soldier/Demoman death counters. While I think the Engie Update had the most polished items, I still think WAR! was the most enjoyably executed update.

Yes, it seems they want to make something very similar to the War update. Hence the Poopy Joe, he wasn't mentioned since that specific update. A lot of people forgot who he was or never heard of him.

what time is it, in your country ?

This is fantastic. I fucking love you guys. I'm serious, I fucking love this community. And that GRAY team theory? Make that happen, that sounds like it kick ass I'm gonna be on the edge of my seat all day

GMT = 15:15 GMT+1 = 16:15 Wrong interpretation of the capacitor's 1500 ? EDIT: 1500 can be interpreted as minutes ... 1500 minutes = 25 hours 00 minutes 22/06 00:00 => 23/06 01:00h ?

[QUOTE=Kryzmis;36441731]what time is it, in your country ?[/QUOTE] In france, it's 16:15, dunno about others.

I must save up refined metals. I know the future looks promising.

[QUOTE=evil_mario;36441588]Me too, but those idlers that exploited the counters with demomen or soldiers bot kills, destroyed the real purpose of the update, [I]play [/I]with your favourite class.[/QUOTE] Valve detected and removed those.

[QUOTE=Sardonus;36441775]I must save up refined metals. I know the future looks promising.[/QUOTE] Good idea. Everybody start saving metal. Lots can be had since the unusable stuff drops with a normal item as well. Scrap metal everywhere. Keep playing, keep crafting.

CUM ON VALVE STEP IT UP I NEED TO SEE MTP
