TF2 General Chat and Speculation Station: Whiteboard Blues - Games

[QUOTE=HiddenShadow;52662689]Mike doesnt do dota or csgo music he said so.[/QUOTE] Artifact, not Dota 2.

[QUOTE=Oizen;52662697]Artifact, not Dota 2.[/QUOTE] He also said that valve brought in professionals for dota 2s music so they would probably do the same for their babys card game. Also what could be released next week about artifact that requires music anyway? Bit early for a second trailer if it's a 2018 release.

I guarantee the update next week or the week after. Vote Optimistic and if I am incorrect, I'll give away 10 ref and a couple craft hats. (10 ref to one person, one hat per other random pick, sorry, don't have a lot but I'm willing to give part of the little I have away.)

[QUOTE='[ToRn];52661892']I wish I knew how to create hats. I tried one time but I had to use some software that cost like $400. Maybe I'm just some super creator newbie (I am), who knows. I tried using some free software but it seemed dodgy. I'm pretty confident to say I've done literally everything there is to do in TF2 except create content.[/QUOTE] This is the way everyone went, who did not got the program and teaching at school or similar. I think a lot of people in the community have self learned the hat making and especially map making. There is now a lot more guides and such than there were before if you just dig in. Even for the free programs like blender.

If Mike Morasky is Valve's in-house composer, why would they outsource the music to an outside party? I can't imagine Morasky is overbooked.

if we don't hear anything next tuesday or wednesday we're probably in for a summer update that will only play during the last two weeks of summer just felt like pointing that out

Maybe we'll get the animated short before the update is out with a countdown. I wouldn't mind that.

No matter how good this update is, its going to come with the air of "so this is what to expect from the wait" now. That alone is pretty off putting.

[I]puts on tin foil hat[/I] what if there's more to the update that the team just isn't telling us, and that's why its taking so long so far we have: -new pyro weapons -new campaign with skins/cosmetics -new jungle map -new short -rebalances and comp/casual overhaul what if there's more, but we just wont know about it until the official release? it would certainly make for a nice surprise.

I mean, they're also working on new case systems as we saw with the third latest blog post. I'll repeat myself and predict that there'll be some pretty obscure things being changed around. New or reworked features, not just additions to the map/weapon/cosmetics already in-game. Hopefully there's some good QoL stuff.

Never expect more, you should always expect less. When you expect more, you're going to be disappointed and complain when less is delivered. When you expect less, and less is delivered, you'll.... complain regardless because either way it's disappointing.

I wonder if they'll use any of those.

Look to YouTube for free tutorials, or subscribe to sites like Lynda.com for good guides. Everything will be hard to start learning though, if you have no background knowledge.

[QUOTE=ComodoreBluth;52663231]It's 2:10 AM on Saturday morning Valve time. It means nothing.[/QUOTE] And what did I say: [QUOTE=Benoist3012;52663175] Website is down, I doubt it means anything[/QUOTE] Seriously? May I remind you this is no longer MUS and I can mention that the website is down even if it means nothing to speculation. I mean I prefer saying that the website is down so others don't think it's an issue on their end and there are others with similar issue.

Why is TF2 subreddit so negative towards the playerbase and the game?

Honestly posting about the TF2 website or wiki going down (especially at 2 AM Valve's time on a Saturday morning) isn't really post worthy, it's just something that happens sometimes.

We know that the website goes down every so often, moreover, i think most of us are smart enough to establish that it isn't an issue on our end, if it was on someone's end, it would probably be their internet being down.

I know that most of the talk here is about speculating when the update is gonna come and what not, but recently Whomobile just saved me from an impersonator trying to steal my unusual. He's a good lad :ok:. The guy made me question him anyways by talking about how he "needed a steam admin to verify the trade" and stuff.

Scammers are usually pretty dumb. Just gotta know where to look, so you can have a good laugh at their expense.

When I was selling my unusual I got the scammers to look at shock images good times

What a fucking timesink that must be.

I was playing competitive against a cheater, and me and my team actually beat them. So the cheater was queuing up with a friend, and that friend would pocket the cheater with a vaccinator. I thought, "what could counter snipers with vaccinators?" oh right. Another vaccinator. So I tried going medic and I kept dying to the sniper every time I would even peek a pixel out, and so I called on my team to get another vaccinator medic. We now had 2 vaccinator medics, an engineer, a demo and a soldier. We won on defense. Offense was a bit trickier, but we managed to get 3 vaccinator medics and pull it off. We were playing payload on badwater basin. I don't have the demo saved, but here's a screenshot of the scoreboard at the end [t]http://i.imgur.com/UTcIqTw.jpg[/t] I think the medic switched to heavy, but during our time on defense they had a sniper with a vaccinator.

henlo this is ur brother here I want trade yuor unusual please trade to steam rep admin so I now it NICE and CLEAN

[QUOTE=Angemon300;52663628]Real talk for a moment, has anyone here actually gotten all the achievements in TF2? What a fucking timesink that must be.[/QUOTE] Especially considering one of the achievements is to get 100k views on a YouTube video you made with the replay editor. Does the replay editor even work anymore? Considering how Valve servers don't even support replays, and community servers are dying, I wouldn't be surprised if the in-game editor/uploader itself broke a while back and nobody even noticed.

Turns out the Caber deals 10 less damage than stock melee, yet the weapon stats don't mention it at all. Also here is a new dynamic for ya: Being able to pick up dropped weapons actually buffs the Caber. When it explodes, you can just pick up a normal melee weapon.
