For anyone curious, this is what the beta passtime badge looks like.[/QUOTE]
I wonder if this is actually in the craft table? Anyone dare trying to win big? :v:
[QUOTE=DeskFan.;50669153]I really don't understand what this community needs for a perfect update, they just complain about EVERYTHING what happen, every update is a "mess", i don't understand what you guys need.
I need to agree there's some shitty balance changes btw[/QUOTE]
You just said why we think is a mess
The death of Valve servers so far is actually helping us more than I expected. These are the best numbers FirePowered has seen in over a year.

[QUOTE=Untouch;50669132]uhh try the... server browser?[/QUOTE]
The issue being, the server browser is a huge step down from being able to just hit "Payload, Dustbowl 22/24" and join a game in 5 seconds, versus waiting for 2000 servers to load, sort through them to get the map you want, find a server you want, hope it isn't a dumb server with stupid mods or donor perks or whatever, then join the server.
It's a loss of convenience at no actual gain.
[QUOTE=RetroFan987;50669156]Jesus Christ, it's your own fault if you overhyped the update. The update has a lot of content, and besides day one bugs, is pretty quality (other than the Heavy nerfs). You expected too much from this update, and drove the hype meter up the wall despite everyone's warnings. Hopefully this can be a lesson for the next update(s) to not be so hype about something you know next to nothing about.[/QUOTE]
It's understandable to get hyped when we were being told that "you guys are going to love this update" and "some weapons are going to feel like brand new ones to get ready for competitive"
removing the listen server button is blasphemy beyond words.
I know the console still works, but the act is still a disgusting abomination

There's a secret goal on BLU side in pass_brickyard. It opens that "private" door to get into the secret room.
The wall blocking it off seems to be solid.
[del]EDIT: Goddamnit, Tags seem to break the image? Putting it as normal makes it huge and people would probably get mad.[/del]
[QUOTE=GuntMyFries;50669160]I'm just baffled by the fact that Quickplay and Competitive have two different level up system with no rewards, not even a strange item to count our stats. And they both have punishments. So why even bother with Quickplay.[/QUOTE]
Might sound a bit crazy, but maybe to just play the game for fun?

Not saying you shouldn't have gotten hype, but you can't please everyone. It was the OVER-hyping that caused the extra disappointment.
ESPECIALLY with this same thing happening with almost every TF2 update ever. And some of the community even warning others that it isn't going to be as good as you would think.
[QUOTE=RPG;50668996]After reading those patch notes, I am siding with Heavy on this...

Poor guy can't catch a break, and he is supposed to be the most iconic member from TF2 :([/QUOTE]
anyone who votes pyro is a degenerate
They're trying to sell us a god dang Tom Jones dance and remove all casual play in the same update.

[QUOTE=lefur;50669195]Chicago valve servers. Finally i get 5 ping![/QUOTE]
Those aren't real. McKay just ran a test on one of them and it's not whitelisted, meaning it's an impersonating server.

I try but valve won't let me
Hmm, you know... the update page implied that all weapons that weren't strange were getting strange variants... but still no Strange Tide Turner, or Sun-on-a-Stick.
Plus no strange versions of reskins like Nessie's Nine Iron or Postal Pummeler.
Some of these rebalances seem pretty interesting but some seem downright strange. I guess I'll have to spend more time playing the update to really get a good feel for it.
personally I think quckplay being removed is pretty good for the community in the long run, it (in theory) drives a LOT of traffic back to community servers for people that want drop-in-drop-out gameplay which they desperately needed.
hopefully it's enough of a hole in the market big enough to bring back small, high quality community servers they wont be completely overshadowed by quickplay doing their job but better.

Why would anyone want a strange variant of that :v:?
I know people have said it before, but the absurdity of a Comp mode with no prizes or stats whatsoever just finally hit me and I don't think I've ever been more confused in my life.
[QUOTE=Chicken McFly;50669207]I try but valve won't let me[/QUOTE]
We will play tf2, tomorrow for sure.
[QUOTE=EArkham;50669208]Hmm, you know... the update page implied that all weapons that weren't strange were getting strange variants...[/QUOTE]no it didn't
I want to hear the team's rational on most of these balance changes, most of them are just absurd and unnecessary. :/
It's interesting that b4nny himself is a bit uncertain of the balance changes considering he was the only of the few people who worked closely with Valve.
(He's still gonna get blamed for the bad changes though)
Team Fortress 2 was a mistake.
the passtime achievement is a really tough puzzle. we got the door to open after trying for a hour but you need to do something else to turn on the tv
