Major Update Speculation V31: Gamechanging Edition - Games

[QUOTE=Jhejh poT;49887282]Wait what. Where's that Hot/Bot dogger update? Wait what. I didn't bough any? :3[/QUOTE] You're why we don't deserve these kinds of updates.

stress test is putting people into games now finally

[QUOTE]-Updated models/materials for the Beep Boy[/QUOTE] What's changed now? just better LODs or something?

probably a fix for the mismatched materials on pyro.

[QUOTE=Jhejh poT;49887282]Wait what. Where's that Hot/Bot dogger update? Wait what. I didn't bought any? :3[/QUOTE] Stop.

new all class dead of night is fuckin comfy

[QUOTE=Dazzgrace;49887309]You're why we don't deserve these kinds of updates.[/QUOTE] :speechless: did i posted something about it (untill now)?

[QUOTE=Magypsy;49887294]That's because time was taken to actually adapt it to every class, as opposed to just copy and pasting a Pyro cosmetic over the Sniper's head.[/QUOTE] Dead of night quality is what I hope the next all-class updates have.

Anyone else crashing upon entering a server?

[QUOTE=Imacreep;49887363]Anyone else crashing upon entering a server?[/QUOTE] It's to be expected with an announced stress test. Everyone's straining the MM servers so I'd imagine the regular valve pubs to experience some stress aswell.

[QUOTE=_Pai;49887195]Was it in the dead of night?[/QUOTE] Actually, yes, around 3 AM.

[QUOTE=Dazzgrace;49887349]Dead of night quality is what I hope the next all-class updates have.[/QUOTE] <3 thanks guys! :D

[QUOTE=Magypsy;49887294]That's because time was taken to actually adapt it to every class, as opposed to just copy and pasting a Pyro cosmetic over the Sniper's head.[/QUOTE] I dont understand how this is a fair comparison when that update was literally a joke intended to be caught by valve, which it evidently never was

eh when did stress test #4 happen if this is #5

game crashed now i'm in lower priority :goodjob: been waiting in the queue for like 10 minutes now, come on

[QUOTE=Johnny Joe;49887398]New Graybanns with [I]mirrored lenses![/I] [T]http://puu.sh/nytUA.jpg[/T] Damn, I'm lookin' good.[/QUOTE] Always bet on Duke.

Is it even possible to change your rank in the beta? Seems like mine doesn't move no matter how poorly or terrific I do.

They let 6 randoms get matched against pre-made teams of 6 pros. Thanks a lot Valve, it's real fun.

Again: Stress test. I'm sure they'll work out the inner workings of premade teams and matchmaking locally later on down the line.

MUS 31: "It's a stress test, guys" edition

played a few matches with some FP boys. comp is p great

"It's in early access, so any feedback or criticism is nullified."

[QUOTE=Flash_Fire;49887582]game crashed now i'm in lower priority :goodjob: been waiting in the queue for like 10 minutes now, come on[/QUOTE] I crashed 3 times in a row, each time game asked if i wanted to rejoin the match or not.

[QUOTE=Dazzgrace;49887758]"It's in early access, so any feedback or criticism is nullified."[/QUOTE] I'm not saying you shouldn't criticize. I'm saying you should fully expect things to not be exactly as you expect them to be from the getgo. If anything, you should use this time to actually notify Valve of critical issues you are facing. A critical thing to note is that this is, in fact, a stress test; it is done to gauge how well the system can handle the matchmaking system, and flubs are to be expected and will be experienced. Expecting it to be perfect from the start and complaining about it in no constructive fashion is counter-intuitive.

My apologies, I misconstrued what you were saying. That being said: I too had crashes on the last stress test, whereas with the first one, I didn't. I don't really use any custom huds or anything, so I'm thinking it may just be a problem with the matchmaking system itself. I wonder if this test fixed it.

It seems to me that the queue time is really fast now. I can click start search and get into games instantly. Note that I didn't play in the last 2 stress tests so I apologize if those tests had fast queue times first.

Played three matchs. We won first and second one... Third one is just horrible : Pink Scout on enemy team with 14 ks (then they won), stickyspam demo... Brr... And then they both spawncamped us. (Then round just ended) Well pointless to say that we lost 2 rounds in a row without any chance If not counting the third one, that's been a great experience as for me
