Major Update Speculation XXVI: Much Ado About Nothing - Games

[QUOTE=Aaron0000;47923462]Well, as long as we're talking about it, if they want to nerf the degreas-tinguisher combo without utterly fucking over other flamethrowers and be able to rebuff the axtinguisher, they could add a short delay between bringing out the axtinguisher and when it is capable of delivering crits. Say you'd have to wait a half second before the axtinguisher could deliver critical damage. Long enough to prevent [B]instant[/B] death when used with the Degreaser, but short enough to not affect other flamethrowers.[/QUOTE] Axtinguisher was never a problem. Unreliable damage is a problem. Stunlock is a problem. Stop trying to treat the symptom and not the illness.

[QUOTE=Doctor_Lazlo;47923448]Looking at the blog right now, today is definitely not the day. Maybe. Probably. I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE.[/QUOTE] We still do have a good few hours before we can assume nothing will happen.

[QUOTE=Rummy.SM;47923543]We still do have a good few hours before we can assume nothing will happen.[/QUOTE] I'd give it until at least 4pm Valve time. Heck, if we get a High Noon update, we might get news within the hour.

[QUOTE=Rummy.SM;47923590]I was being sarcastic about that name :v: But yeah. Anything could happen.[/QUOTE] I thought you were, but the more I thought about it, the more I could see it happening. :p Engi vs. Spy, regulating dueling seasons finally, rewards for the previous season. Optimistic as hell tho.

Updates for Valve games are kind of like wizards or buffalo: they only arrive exactly when they intend to. There's no use camping out on the front lawn, honestly. Just go do whatever and enjoy your life - if an update does happen, it'll still be there when you get back. Unless it's a medal. Then you'll miss out forever. [I]Oh noooooo.[/I]

[QUOTE=Brobattington;47922976]I'm at least glad that the Axtinguisher got nerfed in a way that doesn't make it crap. I can now drink the tears of every Degreastinguisher user out there.[/QUOTE] Its crap unless youre playing against the dumbest of players, also the only problem with the old degreaser axtinguisher combo is airblast stunlock that pushes you up and stuns you instead of knocking you back, if a fix for this was applied it would be fine, pyro is a class with average speed and no stealth or mobility, if you got killed with the axtinguisher, even if he has the degreaser as well, 9 times out of 10 it was your fault for having bad awareness or poor positioning. God forbid a class originally design at close range can actually kill equally skilled players at close range.

Spy vs Engi update could be neat during the Summer Sales: A large register, with the number of dead spies/engis (on the main store's page). Propaganda posters all over steam. [I]A man can dream [/I]

Propaganda posters all over steam. [I]A man can dream [/I][/QUOTE] I used to be excited for updates, but recently they have just made the game worse more than better 2 cities- +added mvm content +added a community map -added ugly overpriced skins and particle effects that laugh at the artstyle - made the baby face blaster the disgusting abomination it is today Love and War- +Added Base Jumper + Demoknight was more than a shitty gimmick only good for stomping potatos + added 3 other meh, super gimmicky weapons - sticky nerf - un needed heavy nerf - un needed axtinguisher nerf - added taunts which, while amusing at first add to the problem of people derping around instead of actually playing the game Scream fortress 2015- +added gimmicky bumpercars +despite terrible map choice it looked pretty - lowered hat drop rate to 5 per player, - if you want to get a hat you want the only way is to buy crates for a chance you might get it -map was riddled with bugs including building level 3 sentries under the objective Smissmas- 2015 + added Iron Bomber + Added quickie Launcher +reasonable demo nerf + loose cannon buff -added panic attack - Loch and load made insanely OP - Tide turner nerfed into uselessness - added mannpower, - Scottsman Skullcutter is pretty much a straight upgrade So yeah, rate me pessimistic all you want, but looking at valves track record its more likely this updates going to hurt the game and not fix any of the problems of updates past and at best it will add some few UP gimmicks, since anytime something is as equally powerful as stock people bitch because they would rather have the game made easier for them instead of stepping up to a challenge.

[QUOTE=poptart TF2;47923796] - Tide turner nerfed into uselessness [/QUOTE] Let me just stop you right there. Although the Tide Turner's nerf was unnecessary, it didn't make the tide turner useless at all. Sure, it's annoying to take fall damage while charging and have it drain completely, but it's still useful as a shield and shouldn't be treated like crap because of a single nerf.

[QUOTE=VintageCat;47923837]...Teams consisting of nothing but spies and engies...[/QUOTE] I can almost guarantee you that's exactly why, on launch, Spy vs Sniper had no achievement weapons, it was left entirely to the new drop system. On the bright side, it meant that servers wouldn't be entirely packed with these support classes, on the bad side it meant that people who actually wanted to play with the new toys could not. WAR! was a different story, as a server packed with Soldiers and Demos could actually still play the game just fine.

Seriously thats one of my main concerns about class updates, EVERYONE is going to play the updated class. You want to play it but dont wanna be the fifth class? Welp wait a week. I really think that this week something will happen, not that it will be the xXSup3r0m3g4M4j0rupd4t3Xx but that [I]something[/I] will be happening. We dont know what this summer sale will offer, maybe the summer sale even hints at a TF2 Update for next week or even this week. Maybe this night we'll get a first update teaser, who knows.

Ah, I remember Pyromania and how I think almost everyone played Pyro leading up to that update.

perhaps i'm too optimistic for my own good right now.

If you actually did only play on servers where people know how to play the game i'd wager that very few if any actually just fuck around and you're using it as an excuse to complain.

The 15 minute video was icing on the cake

Well since the Summer Sale is tomorrow, do you guys think we are going to see a blogpost or something tonight? Im not saying there is going to be a "Summer" update but if there is one then the blogpost would probably be tonight.

[QUOTE=omegasupreme1;47924955]there is no update there never was[/QUOTE] The game never existed.

[QUOTE=Cosmic feel;47925131]What the fuck is a "video game"? That some kind of newfangled-age contraption for sand which making?[/QUOTE] its like a game but its a video game.

Why are we posting all this stuff about "snipers" and "hats" in the Gmod subforum?
