Major Update Speculation XXVI: Much Ado About Nothing - Games

[QUOTE=Oizen;48010446]Its almost like tf2 is approaching its 7th month without a major content update.[/QUOTE] You're acting like the game NEEDS a major content update every two months. It does not. It is extremely bloated and there's already a TON of content. Waiting 6+ months is not a bad thing. Have a little patience, the game is still fun and still has a lot of players. There's also tons of community maps and game modes.

But keep in mind a good ammount of tf2 updates are just valve picking things from all the workshops and putting it in the game. This takes almost no effort. And yet they havent even done this for 7 month.

if they going to take this long to make a comic, they better make it longer

[QUOTE=Dracon;48010395]I love how you guys are horribly overreacting and acting like whiny babies. All they said was that the team behind the comics was pretty much assigned to another project and were just put back on the comics. But due to the way comics get made they don't really have a good estimate. Seriously, the comic is later than valve said it would be. It's not a big surprise. And if the team just got back on it that means a lot of drawing and redrawing of panels and coloring and such, it's NOT a quick process.[/QUOTE] thanks einstein, i'd never have figured that out without your post

You guys really are spoiled.

And I thought I was playing on the safe side when I set my release expectation for the next issue to "July 2015" in last October. Fucking hell, a whole year it shall be then! Other publishers can get one comic done per month and they can't even fucking manage to do so in 3/4 of a year. You'd think with the royalties they make off of Steam and the microtransactions in TF2 and DOTA, that they could hire a person who works on these comics full-time. lol nope Yeah right we're spoiled for expecting a multibillion dollar company to at least keep one of their fucking deadlines.

[QUOTE=Dracon;48010573]You guys really are spoiled.[/QUOTE] Oh sorry, I didn't know your definition of being spoiled meant to get upset about something that was first promised to be delivered once every two months and that now is being delivered once every year. Are you trying to become the next Lord Exor perhaps?

[QUOTE=TheDrunkenOne;48010732]Are you trying to become the next Lord Exor perhaps?[/QUOTE]I agree with the sentiment but is that not literally the opposite of what Exor thinks?

[QUOTE=Freeze;48010741]I agree with the sentiment but is that not literally the opposite of what Exor thinks?[/QUOTE] Exactly. That's why opposites are made for each other.

so he's trying to be exor, by not being exor. uh

The rise of Nega-Exor!

Know what I'm worried about? RD_Asteroid. Its been months since the latest artpass. I believe its already finished at this point, but I have this feeling that they messed with the actual map design itself, like "Oh guise look RD_Asteroid is done, we also got rid of the vents and sealed off some other areas to make even more CHOKEPOINTS, SO HAVE FUN, BYE" when the map officially comes out.

[QUOTE=Dracon;48010505]You're acting like the game NEEDS a major content update every two months. It does not. It is extremely bloated and there's already a TON of content.[/QUOTE] I agree, I just want an update with a decent amount of new content every few months.

[QUOTE=Chicken McFly;48008916]The panic attack... is shit, I'm sorry, I can't find a good use for it.[/QUOTE] I'd go as far to say that it's actually the worst hitscan weapon in the game, even less useful than the Family Business. The low health speed increase is entirely mitigated by the increased spread, to the point where at close-range, surviving every shot while not moving is pretty much possible with every non-light class (and light classes can survive with good luck) whereas the vanilla shotgun can take down an overhealed, unpocketed heavy in the same conditions.

the game realistically doesnt need major content to survive. The issue is existing content is bugged to hell and back, or broken to hell and back. Quickplay is absolute trash, often flinging players to servers across the globe, sometimes doesnt even find servers at all. Server browser is an outdated mess of information full of trade minecraft and x10 servers. Even mvm browser now breaks half the time sending you into servers where the connection fails. Hand me an efficient way to join a server that runs community maps where it's frequently populated (quickplay killed custom map servers except for weekend nights and other uptimes), and slap me with some rebalances and a few workshop hats every 4 months and i'd be playing the game for another year solid.

what a plot twist they couldve put this in comic tho. that would be a better way to announce it

feels kinda forced though in my opinion. "Why wouldn't she be interested in scout" "cause gay" instead of all the off putting reasons that a person wouldn't be into an ego maniacal windbag like scout.

but hey, new panel, from the same twitter [img]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CH6ccyyUwAId5-n.jpg[/img] at least they're actually doing the finishing touches now sure, that could literally be the fifth panel of the entire comic but at least [I]something[/I] is done now [editline]blah[/editline] [QUOTE=Man in the Moon;48011242]feels kinda forced though in my opinion.

I mean it dosen't matter but it kind of destroys the whole will they/won't they/they definetly won't/ story line they had going with Scout. A funnier and more fitting character trait would be she simply dosen't have time to think about the opposite or same sex, since she works every day.

Isn't "gay" as "homosexual" used only/mostly to describe men, not women?

In my headcanon she has a Mr. Burns/Smithers relationship with the Administrator.
