TF2 General Chat and Speculation Station: Whiteboard Blues - Games

Scrap.tf has had no keys in stock for the past month now. RIP in piss Geels moneymaking machine

These next few days are going to be one hell of a ride. Starting tomorrow, anything can happen; from The Update itself, to a small patch with the TOTH medals, to a "what we're working on/halloween workshop stuff" post, to a small "happy 10th anniversary!" post that's unrelated to any update, to absolutely nothing. I think there's really no certainty as to what will happen, all bets are off.

[QUOTE=socks_;52759630]But today is the 8th, TF2 came out on the 10th.[/QUOTE] There's a chance (albeit a very small one) for a Day One post to happen tomorrow, with The Update being released proper on the 10th, hence why I said "starting tomorrow".

All community created content, of course. Also, our tentative release date for the Pyro update is early 2018."

[QUOTE=RetroMike;52759450]This has been a year of firsts.[/QUOTE] Except this year's first major update.

I hope everyone remains calm if they don't release the update, I can hope but I'm sure valve(read tf2 team) will get some serious harassment. I'm still sticking with my current hopes which is at least something coming out before the end of this month, be it scream fortress or the pyro update.

Nothing will happen on the 10th. And when it doesn't, I'm fairly certain people will try to burn down valve over it.

We will get a Day 1 Blog Post on the 10th. And when it does, I'm fairly certain people will try to hug down valve over it.

[QUOTE=C. Blades;52759759]Nothing will happen on the 10th. And when it doesn't, I'm fairly certain people will try to burn down valve over it.[/QUOTE] Which is funny because TFTeam never said the update is coming on 10th.

The tfteam says next to nothing at all, any release date within the next ten years would be pure speculation if it wasn't for the "plenty of time before Halloween" thing. I have a theory, like a conspiracy theory, that for a few months they were working on the update, realized that at some point they made a huge mistake, and had to restart the entire thing. And they did that like four or five times now.

[QUOTE=CyclonatorZ;52759772][IMG]https://facepunch.com/image.php?u=445990&dateline=1504984958[/IMG] Pitchforks and torches, anyone?[/QUOTE] Nah, I've reconsidered my stance. Torches and pitchforks are time consuming and will most likely cut into my schedule as a productive citizen, so I've concocted a brilliant scheme that will allow us to protest by proxy. We can pay local Bellevue hobos to hold signs and camp out in front of Valve HQ instead, and we can consider it a charity effort in a way--all those poor hobos need cash to pay for booze and drugs.

[QUOTE=Fluury;52759785]We will get a Day 1 Blog Post on the 10th. And when it does, I'm fairly certain people will try to hug down valve over it.[/QUOTE] I know I'm already raffling off a few keys on this topic, but would you care to make a side bet on this specifically? I gotta do something to keep myself distracted from the impending disappointment.

So a very minor thing I completely overlooked when Meet Your Match released. A lot of people were upset about the Bison being nerfed with the excuse of it being a bug, but the Kunai was "fixed" too: [QUOTE]- Fixed disguising with the Conniver's Kunai while spotted by a Sentry causing the Sentry to ignore the Spy[/QUOTE] The Conniver's Kunai had an attribute on it that the Your Eternal Reward also has: taking a disguise makes any Sentries forget you. If you disguise in front of a Sentry that currently is trying to shoot at you, it'll continue shooting. It'll continue shooting you until you die or it loses sight of you, regardless of whether or not you're disguised. This attribute exists on the Your Eternal Reward so that a Spy can backstab someone and not have to worry about Sentries unless he misses the backstab. The Kunai already gives you a massive health debuff, I don't see why it couldn't grant some ninja magic that tricks Sentries into thinking you disappeared. Any little thing like that can be a serious help.

that's actually a legitimate bug though. valve often makes unlocks from the base of other unlocks. This is why the quick-fix and vaccinator still use the kritzkrieg's beam effect. so nah this doesn't compare to the bison one bit

Bring back stopwatch mode and make arena mode an available game option in casual. Honestly, I just want a legit death match option for TF2 instead of having to go to these dumb 24/7 servers. Also I agree with everything in Snowshoe's post about why casual sucks.

I'm like 80% sure nothing's happening on the 10th, probably just a 10th anniversary blog post. The update would kill the motivation momentum I've had in doing other things as well, so y'know

I hate the ever living shit out mini-sentries, having the ability to disguise in front of those things is a godsend. And with the 70hp base health you have, any chip damage that puts you at or lower than 48hp will result in instant death to the mini-aimbots.

I miss old caber ;(

I just want to join in-progress matches my friends are in

2 more day's, [B]Can't wait for that extra disappointment[/B]

Is 20 days before Halloween considered 'plenty of time' before it?

[QUOTE=Drag0600;52760394]Is 20 days before Halloween considered 'plenty of time' before it?[/QUOTE] I'd say so.

[QUOTE=ComodoreBluth;52758290]Someone made a video of highlights of Tyler's mental breakdown on his stream the other day: [video=youtube;poWy-XUO5BM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poWy-XUO5BM[/video][/QUOTE] I wouldn't call it a breakdown, just a negative version of how I normally am on livestream.

[QUOTE=valvenews;52760414]I wouldn't call it a breakdown, just a negative version of how I normally am on livestream.[/QUOTE] Can we really blame you, when we as a community are struggling to believe valve will remember the 10-year anniversary of it's 3rd most popular game?
