Major Update Speculation V31: Gamechanging Edition

[Drury]

[QUOTE=Lord Exor;50254060]I never said it was a conclusive determination. Even if there were several heroes comparitively less effective than their counterparts, there's at least one respectable representative for each role--which is more than I can say for TF2.[/QUOTE]

Also yes, they have a bunch of Heavy-like heroes that ruin everybody's fun atm, I guess they get a bunch of coolness points from you for that.

[Demo-the-man]

I love how an arguement with Exor mostly ends with "Yeah, it has bullshit mechanics and is not fun to fight against. It is basically your wet dream, right Exor?"

Let the spawn camping bugger have an arguement without talking about how he is an arsehole in TF2.

Edit: Also thanks VPN for telling me i posted this from USA and not Turkey

Dear TF Team please release an Update so we can stop talking about Overwatch.

Everyone will talk how Valve sees a threat in Overwatch and is releasing updates in retaliation.

Didnt realize I would cause a shitstorm with the OW post but let's get back on track. What do you guys think this year's summer update will be?

[Stormbuster]

Was hoping for Engineer vs Spy, but I imagine that it's going to be a while before we hear about that, still.

Spy vs. Engie.

Now stop trying to curtail people into talking specifically about TF2 only. There's no reason why we can't compare Overwatch, which just hit Early Access Beta, to TF2, and not have it be on-topic. In fact, as I'm aware, most people are comparing how Overwatch released to the fact that TF2 hasn't got an update yet! Fancy that?

And let's be honest, if it wasn't for the Overwatch discussion in the first place, there'd be nobody posting here right now, it's pretty much the only discussion in this thread specifically going on.

...You realize it's perfectly okay to not post, right? Updates/speculation is slow as always in the first half of the year.

[QUOTE=Blott;50255105]crates[/QUOTE]

Have we really come so far as to call crates a major update?

...And you realize my point was that there isn't any discussion that's being halted by the surge of Overwatch related posts, right?

Robotic Boogaloo, my guy.

[Fluury]

A week ago a person said that Crates have stopped dropping, is this still true?

[Blott]

[QUOTE=TectoImprov;50255128]Have we really come so far as to call crates a major update?[/QUOTE]
That was a goof, but for real at best probably some weapon rebalances and competitive changes and additions.

and maybe a crate with hats or weapon skins

[Druidlyclean]

There's a thread for Overwatch, you can go on that thread instead of posting in here about it.

[sp] or just don't post about it, it isn't tf2 or any thing having to do with it. [/Sp]

[QUOTE=ElderLolz;50255219]And no, Jhejh poT posting "I sense update definitely coming in exactly 1 hour" don't count.[/QUOTE]Watch out, you'll incur his "wrath".

[Hell-met]

I for one am done expecting things from tf2. I will just play what's there and any further update will be an extra.

I know this sounds like a generic naysayer post, but know that years ago I used to daydream about this game constantly. I have no regrets, and it's been a great ride.

I might just finish my mvm project and occasionally pub with friends. I shall forever remain a pubstar after all.

[QUOTE=ElderLolz;50255219]Can we call the next version this

?

It seems appropriate looking at how things are in here. When was the last time people actually speculated about Updates for more than just two posts?

And no, Jhejh poT posting "I sense update definitely coming in exactly 1 hour" don't count.[/QUOTE]
Theres not really a whole lot to "speculate" anymore.

Updates just sorta happen now, Valve doesn't really hype or tease them in the slightest.

And if its a community update we practically already know whats coming.

[Magypsy]

[QUOTE=Dookas;50254990]Didnt realize I would cause a shitstorm with the OW post but let's get back on track. What do you guys think this year's summer update will be?[/QUOTE]

Weapon skins and disappointing balance changes.

Edit: Oh, and new Ms. Pauling lines.

[Punchy]

To be fair it's just been a really open year. Valve has been trying to fix their tf2 PR by accepting community stuff and giving them more info to community events, they want matchmaking to bring the game to a new level and are relying on the comp community to be open and receptive to every change, and presumably whatever update matchmaking releases behind is being kept quiet and out of focus while they worry about this stuff first

I've always been an advocate for valve returning to their more hinty and goofy blog poster status, but i'm also just happy knowing they're active, even if we all know what to expect

[Fluury]

Dont lie to yourself, you'll be as hyped as everyone else when the next Major Update hits.

[Ponken]

[QUOTE=Dookas;50254990]What do you guys think this year's summer update will be?[/QUOTE]

Full launch of competetive, the last two comics and 3 new taunts? Nothing of that will probably happen this summer, but I know well get at least one thing regardless. Angry people.

[riorio]

revolver for engineer update when

[Jhejh poT]

The only thing i can expect from this summer is the release/some new changes of comp, some balance changes, new compain based on Mayann Project (with some maps, contracts [sp]?[/sp] and stuff from the project). Oh wait, [b]andofcsomehatupdatesbecausewhohatesthemsowhynot[/b]

[Erfly]

I hope they increase the maximum backpack space.
Please Valve

It is far too early to expect anything from the Mayann update.

They could just give us an another free backpack expander... For no reason :v:
Just got 2 or 3 of them during those 2 years (maybe from halloween or christmas updates, idk)

I've got the last one still laying around because of the 40 page limit. That's what I mean.
Call me crazy, but I need this space since I want to try and get one of each decorated weapon in all 5 qualities.

Definitely in the realm of "1st World TF2 Problems" (or maybe "Hoarder Problems", heh), but I agree we could use a larger max backpack size.

If you collect stuff, you rapidly run out of room. The Halloween stuff alone takes up like 4 or 5 pages. I haven't even bothered trying to collect botkillers or Gun Mettle/Tough Break skins because I simply don't have the space.
