[QUOTE=Yukinari;50653220]Why is does the blue version of the Soldier Bucket shirt turn him into a black guy?[/QUOTE]
idk, but I like it like that. Adds some contrast to the two.
[QUOTE=Ace of Butts;50653209]I feel like this update has been over hyped now[/QUOTE]
So true, I noticed that even mentioning the word "Neato" on reddit will get you downvoted to hell. Guess even they are tired of hyping everyday.
[QUOTE=Dookas;50653224]OR it means the update comes after the event[/QUOTE]
"Sign-ups close on July 7th, with Week 1 beginning July 10th and lasting for over a month."
It's not going to be after it, that would place the update squarely in August.
[QUOTE=TectoImprov;50653218]Pessimistic POV: They're waiting until the Open is finished to release the update so a ton of rebalances aren't dropped on people days before a huge competitive event.[/QUOTE]
That would be a rather significant misstep.
[QUOTE=gaben's nut;50653231]So true, I noticed that even mentioning the word "Neato" on reddit will get you downvoted to hell. Guess even they are tired of hyping everyday.[/QUOTE]
It's less hyping and more that "neato" is a pile of red mush that used to be a horse
[QUOTE=Scott713;50653201]Just a quick thought: The Highlander Open event starts July 10 and lasts for over a month, I believe the update will come before then as I doubt they would do balance changes during an event.[/QUOTE]
the change to the quickfix that added the 125% overheal and mirroring blast jumps was added during season 14 of esea 6's. because of how overpowered the weapon is (as i am sure you have seen it be the only viable gun in matchmaking and how it is mind-bogglingly the same), it was banned right after. of course, this version of the weapon allowed you to cap points during the megaheal

putting an update out during a tournament has never stopped valve from making a balance mistake, and seemingly caring about this nearly 10-year-old video game's competitive scene all of a sudden will not change that, especially for a tournament for new players rather than a lan for the best of the best.
edit: if you want to view the cheesiest, most memey game of tf2 comp history, here. (found by googling esea quick fix)

No update/blog post today then I assume. It's about to be 6 PST.
I'll give the update an hour or two to actually show up. If it doesn't then maybe tomorrow will be good.

They've happened right at 6 before. We've still got 20 minutes before then.
Definitely no update tonight, I would say blog post tonight or tomorrow.
Just the blog post would be amazing

At this point, any ounce of communication will do.
We sure are living up to the title of this MUS thread
[QUOTE=gronfort;50653336]We sure are living up to the title of this MUS thread[/QUOTE]
Pretty sure this was the reason it was named. The last three weeks have been full of -title-.
[QUOTE=jellydotjar;50652664]Unrelated but the [URL="http://store.valvesoftware.com"]valve store[/URL] updated with a ton of new tf2 merch.[/QUOTE]
I take umbrage with the plenitude of t-shirts featuring a humiliated Heavy. How dare they! I will not stand for this outrage!
I was very optimistic last week, but after that disappointment I'm being very pessimistic about the update's release
we're pretty fucking good at guessing a lack of release
[QUOTE=Blackavar;50653322]Just the blog post would be amazing[/QUOTE]
at this point a teaser for the blog post would be awesome
[QUOTE=Untouch;50653366]at this point a teaser for the blog post would be awesome[/QUOTE]
the words "It's coming" on the blog post would be amazing
Everyday is today.

At this point the update doesn't seem like a thing that will ever happen. And I'm the one who delayed it!

Couldn't let them ship it without adding a :geel: item
Our Half-Life friends learned this lesson a long time ago.
Don't count on Valve to be communicative [I]or[/I] timely, and never let your hopes be raised, lest they lead to disappointment.
It's been a fucking month since Jill's neato shitpost. Honestly, it's probably best if we stop caring and watching the clock.
D'OH

Honestly I'd be happy even if they just put up an image saying "IT'S COMING" on the blog post, no text needed. At least something to tease us and tell us it's near.
I'm not sure if Im late on this but somebody just posted this on reddit:

I'm not sure if it's fake, doesn't seem like it. This either means contracts will be in competitive, or you can just turn off the UI so they don't get in the way compared to normal games.
EDIT: Changed image to link due to it's huge size >.>
EDIT: Ah okay, it's old, thanks guys! Sorry for wasting your time with the screenshot.

What if they aren't doing that because it isn't near :ohno:

I noticed that in my options about 2 weeks ago.
Maybe they mean normal contracts can also be worked towards in Competitive?
