TF2 General Chat and Speculation Station: Whiteboard Blues - Games

TI just ended, give them a rest

[QUOTE=Fluury;52690190] We know there will be an Update next week.[/QUOTE] No we dont

[QUOTE=Oizen;52690297]No we dont[/QUOTE] medals for events/especially for toth always got released before the event though

[QUOTE=Cpt. Cakes;52689977]It'd be cool if they released it during TOTH, it'd give them something to talk about.[/QUOTE] ehhhhhh you'd be surprised how disruptive that'd be to the schedule and blocks already in place, especially with a chat that is derived from TF2 [I]but who knows[/I]

[QUOTE=Fluury;52690190] We know there will be an Update next week. We know there has been backend work done - I'm feeling it.[/QUOTE] You [I]feel[/I] it every week, I'm hopeful, but there's no point in getting yourself worked up over it every week, you can be very happy when it comes, or you can throw out "this week" every week, and be disappointed.

The new frontline update looks great [video=youtube;oK0iBz31rLs]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oK0iBz31rLs[/video]

You guys will probably find the wait for the update easier if you stop telling yourselves its going to come out every week.

Today I spent a good 2-3 hours making an imgur gallery of neat but mostly useless spots on pl_upward. Made it mainly because I wanted to learn the map a bit more and also wanted to share this info. [url]https://imgur.com/a/pKAiZ[/url] Also, should I or someone else make a small thread specific to this stuff? Like spots you can stand on, sticky placements, shortcuts you can only do as a specific class or shortcuts in general, pyro jumps, small gaps where you can shoot through, sentry/teleporter spots and so on. There are some videos about these but those videos are always specific to one map or subject and just find them a hassle in a way.

Welp, my computer is dead (on phone) and I cannot afford repairs. Looks like I might miss out on the update if it happens any time soon. As for the rest of you, hang in there and don't go to crazy waiting.

Real sick of joining into games with an Ambassador Spy who hits nearly every headshot with a Professional Killstreak and named "I'm better than you!"

So now you'll get killed by gibus spies getting lucky as well as those tryhard clowns!

So we've been given no reasons to believe they've changed their minds about the changes, especially since polls have shown a majority of the feedback has been positive. That's the "research". Your attack on my sarcastic statements is a bona fide joke, demanding research with nothing to support your own claims. And considering valve's history of irrational decisions and the big ol' sack of nothing we've got from them since MyM, it is completely possible they'll ship the balance changes as is.

Sure, valve made stupid decisions, but that doesn't mean they can't improve, just because they did dumb things doesn't mean they will always do dumb things. I didn't mean to attack you, my apologies if i may have sounded a tad too rude, i'm just very tired of seeing out of nowhere claims.

Did you actually try the new ambassador changes in that mod contra linked in the last MUS? They're really more of an annoyance than a balancing pass, it enables luck more than curtailing the weapon.

Although these claims aren't exactly out of nowhere considering the past. As I've said, I'd love to be wrong and valve to execute this update perfectly, but what we've been given so far to speculate off of doesn't speak to that very much.

I've lost any faith and hype I once had in this update ever coming out before Summer ends. Lucky for me, Summer ends on the last day of this week, Friday. Valve has 5 days to actually push this update out, but I have no faith, so. Toxx me. :toxx: The Pyro/Jungle Update will not release this week. Escape clause : I'll trade [B]40 Keys and a Cloudy Moon Heavy Duty Rag [U]AND[/U] a Holy Grail Killer Solo[/B] to one person who rates this post :useful: if the Pyro/Jungle update actually comes out this week ( 18th to 22nd )

[QUOTE=Owlet;52691196]Doublecross is such an underrated map[/QUOTE] its underrated because nobody can leave their base unless they chance 150-518 damage

[QUOTE=Hell-met;52691302]to be fair dods doesn't really have any clueless/new players, so nobody is terrible over there and you're bound to get killed fast by anything.[/QUOTE] True, but the weapon balance is appalling. As bad the sandman is, I am far more fearful of the k98. Hell, even in CS most weapons take 2-3 shots to and better ones cost money, in DOD the most BS weapons are just par the course and 1 hit kill for "realism". Oh. And the spam. The horrible, horrible grenade spam.
