An update to Team Fortress 2 has been released. The update will be applied automatically when you restart Team Fortress 2. The major changes include: Fixed a bug where the Medic's run speed would not adjust when his heal target was killed Fixed client crash related to custom HUDs
[QUOTE=GoldenPickaxe;50671038]I just want video of the new shortstop, I'm out of state and cannot test.[/QUOTE] It has a new animation in first-person with Scout grunting, does exactly 1 damage and knocks them about as far away as an airblast. Seems dependent on the angle that you are aiming, such that they're more prone to falling off a side of a platform if you angle it upward while crouching. However, they forgot to give it world animations so it just looks like Scout Fus Ro Dahs you.
Question: Does the new case have Strangifiers or just stranges in general?

The Merasmus TV thing requires the entire server to cooperate, I believe. Pretty cool.
Pushing players off a cliff with the shortstop doesn't count it as a kill like an airblast would. It just says they fell.
Can anyone else manage to make it into a casual matchmaking server?
[QUOTE=EmilyVasquez;50671125]Can anyone else manage to make it into a casual matchmaking server?[/QUOTE] Tried to multiple times, doesn't even queue me in.
I got kicked back to the selection screen a few times actually :v:

Waited like 15 minutes in queue and no dice
[QUOTE=geel9;50671004]I think it's fucking silly to say it's rigged because you don't like the numbers.[/QUOTE] It's not that I don't like the numbers (I picked pyro), its that I think the numbers are super fishy.
I can't believe the crate has Stranges instead of Strangifiers.
so, maybe i'm insane, but... that whole 70/30 to 50/50 thing makes perfect sense in my eyes? you launch an update and the item server and game coordinator goes kaput. tracking stats and the amount of people that are able to get in and play are extremely limited. the stats that do manage to cache are probably extremely dated. so when the servers level themselves out, even slightly, the numbers go back to an expected dead heat because of a) a low sample size to begin with, b) the cache is catching up and surprise! it wasn't that far of a split to begin with. it's like if you tracked how many times a coin landed on heads or tails. out of 4 flips, it just so happens that 3 of the 4 flips are heads. so your data reads, 75/25. but since that's not the expected sample size and is literally less than a hundredth of a percent of all the data to be expected in the end result, we can expect something like 50/50 toward the end. I mean, even if that above thing is entirely wrong... you're all willing to immediately jump to "it was rigged!" while you ignore all the server-side mayhem that was going on?
Any tips of how can I make sure my game doesn't crash or get stuck in loading if I do matchmaking? In the beta, I used to load indefinitely, and when my friend said he got an in-game message that I timed out it was too late. Happened two times. I don't want to get temp banned or whatever punishment you get.
[QUOTE=ElderLolz;50671199]So those 10 bucks replace the authenticator? Only for Matchmaking or everything the authenticator is needed for?[/QUOTE] Just matchmaking. Isn't it actually called a Matchmaking Pass, anyways?
[QUOTE=ElderLolz;50671199]So those 10 bucks replace the authenticator? Only for Matchmaking or everything the authenticator is needed for?[/QUOTE] For competitive.
Comp matchmaking seems to work now. I got whupped just now.
wow, Comp isn't even pretending it's not copying Overwatch the UI is nearly identical, and it even ends showing the 6 of you posing gloriously over the WINNER declaration

[QUOTE=X_Sam;50671150]Care to elaborate?[/QUOTE] According to this, you need: * One person to hit a guitar * Another to hold the ball and hit a secret goal on the other end of the map * Go through the private door in spawn * Shoot out the TV's plug * Something to do with nine stains on the ground [url]https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/4rsfc8/how_to_enter_the_tv_room_on_pass_brickyard/[/url]

Seems like casual mode is SUPER BORKED and I haven't even tried Comp yet. I love this updates potential but it's such a mess now

[QUOTE=geel9;50671004]I think it's fucking silly to say it's rigged because you don't like the numbers.[/QUOTE] I think it's a fair supposition; after all, it's fairly clear that Heavy is their designated whipping boy by now.
Servers seem to be working more often now. I just got 2 matches back to back when before I didn't get any. Also a bug I found: you need at least 125 metal to build a teleporter, even if it costs 50. In the hud it still shows 125 cost.
[QUOTE=Lord Exor;50671423]I think it's a fair supposition; after all, it's fairly clear that Heavy is their designated whipping boy by now.[/QUOTE] No, "it's rigged" isn't fair. You have to have some amount of evidence for that kind of claim.
I may be late on this but it looks like even if you win a comp match, you're skill bar doesn't progress.
