TF2 General Chat and Speculation Station: Whiteboard Blues - Games

They really are going to wait until the 10th ain't they "For this years birthday we give you the first major update of the year!"

[QUOTE=rolfum;52721631]what if the reason the update is taking so long is because they plan on tying it in with a large scream fortress event, too? a man can dream, how does "spiritflame update" sound?[/QUOTE] I don't think valve is going to do any major things with Scream Fortress anymore, they'll just turn on merasmissions and call it a day

[QUOTE=sarge997;52721462]Anyone that's expecting anything/anything decent for Halloween is kidding themselves at this point :disappoint:[/QUOTE] Aren't most of the Halloween items done via workshop anyway? They'll probably just spit out a Halloween crate and just unlock the previous events/quests.

[QUOTE=Whomobile;52721886]To be fair no halloween update would be the spookiest thing to do. [U][B][I]Scary Disappointment[/I][/B][/U][/QUOTE] We all remember what the lack of diretide caused.

[QUOTE=C. Blades;52721990]We all remember what the lack of diretide caused.[/QUOTE] Poor Volvo, I don't know if they'll be able to handle getting spammed " つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Give SCREAM FORTRESS"

then they add emoticons to TF2 just so they can add that thing as the first one

[QUOTE=TomatoGuy;52721933]They really are going to wait until the 10th ain't they "For this years birthday we give you the first major update of the year!"[/QUOTE] Well last year they gave us the first massive disappointment of the year, so it's plausible I guess.

I mean in reality that tweet can be taken in a multitude of ways - for all we know, the TF Team is already at the new office, its not like you move your office all at once, tonite can still be the nite however I have succumbed to 10/10

[QUOTE=ComodoreBluth;52722019]Poor Volvo, I don't know if they'll be able to handle getting spammed " つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Give SCREAM FORTRESS"[/QUOTE] it'd only work if we convinced the dota boys to help us do it, the dota fanbase is the only one that valve actually listens to

[QUOTE=Nebrassy;52722246]only now you start to believe it's the 10th while I'm afraid it'll be smissmas[/QUOTE] I really do hope it isn't smissmas this year.

What the fuck. I did my toxx at 5am while slightly drunk and immediately regretted it because I realised that the update obviously would come out during the last days of september. Guess I'm wrong, jesus fucking christ I'm happy I have my tastebuds and sad that I didn't get the pyro update

Reminder that we still have the Toth medals, we are more likely than usual to get an Update this week - if it's the one we desire well see.

I'm so upset right now, came back from work, tried to have a peaceful nice TF2 game and chill down. Instead I got queued against ragehacker playing spy with infinite instant dead ringer. Ofcourse I left, joined another game. And guess fucking what, another cheaters right on the next game. This is actually getting sad, the cheating situation is out of control.

[QUOTE=Fluury;52722534]Reminder that we still have the Toth medals, we are more likely than usual to get an Update this week - if it's the one we desire well see.[/QUOTE] Would love to be that optimistic, but the donation tracker itself says "Medals will be awarded a [B]few weeks[/B] after the event has concluded". Anyhow, speaking of TotH the aforementioned tracker [URL="https://tracker.tipofthehats.org/donate/toth2017"]is still working[/URL] and recieving donations, and you can still grab a medal. Couldn't donate during the weekend due to some Paypal issues but I will be doing so right now.

The TF Team usually adds medals before the event, especially for TOTH, if not, they add them shortly after they happen.

Shapeways is apparently is doing a cross promotion with Valve for their 3D printing service. [url]https://www.shapeways.com/blog/archives/34763-valve-shapeways-now-design-games-like-dota-2-cs-go-portal-half-life-team-fortress-2.html[/url]

[QUOTE=CyclonatorZ;52722563]"Updated the localization files"[/QUOTE] They should do a blog post about what to expect in the updated Localization Files for the Pyro/Jungle Update. /s However, that probably wouldn't be a totally awful blog post if they gave us "here is a huge list of the names to some of the items we are adding, and what they translate to." It would give us something to speculate about other than the release date, but it would bring posts of "did this item/map get in?" and debates about "here's what I expect the stats for (item name) will be!" only to find out that item was a hat/skin. And it would give us a more clear expectations of how many items/maps there will be in the update, than them giving us a number or a date.

[QUOTE=Danzflor;52722897] I really hope this is the case at least for the medals ¿Does anobody knows if Valve moving to their new offices will/could affect this kind of development?[/QUOTE] im confused why people are viewing a vague and unofficial tweet by a valvedev as a "company is shutting down for the next week!" a company like valve doesnt do a group trip to the new office - they move bit by bit. for all we know the tf team is already at the new office, especially given their size

-snib- im late

[QUOTE=Danzflor;52722922]I was confused cause I really don't know much about that kind of stuff, that's why I was asking :P thanks for the answer tho, makes sense.[/QUOTE] thats what im assuming atleast lol who knows maybe the big V just gives themselves a week off im just surprised people give this vague tweet so much value

[QUOTE=hahagoni_r;52722945]Twitter about aforementioned 3d printables [media]https://twitter.com/TeamFortress/status/913097027604451328[/media][/QUOTE] This actually irritates me so much. What's even the point of having an official twitter account tweeting facebook links if you can't be bothered to write a 50 character tweet to actually say something? And CSGO's twitter actually tweets and answers questions and updates the community.

[QUOTE=hahagoni_r;52722945][B]Disappointment[/B][/QUOTE] as usual TF2 is [I]nowhere[/I] to be found.

Can't wait to see THAT promo item.

May or may not have figured out what Mike Morasky's track was that he teased about the other week [URL="https://files.catbox.moe/x64tf5.wav"]I was ripping through the SteamVR Home Boxing Ring file and found this[/URL] The file is under the name boxing_music, and as of right now I'm just sorta calling it 'Another One Bytes the Dust'. [sp] get it, cause they're robots [/sp]

Good to know it wasn't for tf2, would've been a shame to give us a hint at content
