Wouldn't it be nice if instead of Valve sending e-mails about what they're doing to a select few people they just told [I]everybody[/I] what was going on?

I think Valve's lack of patches the past 4 weeks will mean this week's update will have a decent amount of stuff. Bug fixes at least.

[QUOTE=ikes;49837476]yeah, when you can back up your claims[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Freeze;49837311]it [I]would[/I] make sense for some passes to come out today. the wording of "a week or so" seems like they probably planned it for last week but also knew that it might run over so put the "or so" in there just to be safe (which is fair). [I]plus[/I] a monday is a good day to launch a beta of something because they have the rest of the working week to fix all of the bugs the people find. is it definitely tonight? definitely not. is it a decent guess that it [I]could[/I] be tonight? sure. :D[/QUOTE]i don't see how i made any claims here that aren't backed up

I wouldn't be surprised if Valve doesn't do anything until Tough Break formally ends on March 31st.

[QUOTE=Fluff;49837625]Wich for Valve time, it's pretty much[I] in a week[/I].[/QUOTE] That's not how Valve Time works.

[QUOTE=cha0s;49836534]About a week or so they said, they know we want start testing now they said, they'll randomly give out passes they said, they'll host both announced and unannounced stress-test events they said, Hello from the TF2 Team they said. [B]GIVE US OUR PASSES ALREADY![/B][/QUOTE] The stress testing went so badly that there were problems before they even opened it.

Do you guys think they're gonna add a new lobby interface for MM ? Or just slap the regular one ?

Anybody who believes anything time-oriented which valve promises for even one second is a foolish lost cause.

[QUOTE=Punchy;49837903]Anybody who believes anything time-oriented which valve promises for even one second is a foolish lost cause.[/QUOTE] Hasnt it already been delayed though due to a matchmaking error joining servers? Maybe the valvetime already happend?

[QUOTE=geel9;49837479]If the passes don't come out tonight I'll raffle an unusual[/QUOTE] So? Not like were gonna win it.

The longer it takes for Valve to release a patch, the chance for lots of things being added increases. However, no matter how paradoxical it may seem, the chance for them adding very little also increases.

[QUOTE=ikes;49837476]yeah, when you can back up your claims[/QUOTE] Speculation is not fact. I could speculate that we're going to see a new TC map this year, without needing to back up my claim. Because it is speculation, not fact. Flame/mattr0d has been able to back up his claims via other sources such as b4nny. He and other comp "pros" are probably receiving emails from Valve about the rolling plan of comp matchmaking. [B]HOWEVER[/B], as mattr0d [URL="https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/47mubh/why_are_we_listening_to_the_mattr0d_guy_again_i/d0e46lc?context=3"]HIMSELF[/URL] has said that the update has fell victim to Valve time, barring any new emails that he and other people involved received, his guess is as good as any of ours at this point. [editline]29th February 2016[/editline] I feel like I, or other people, have repeated this post(or atleast the gist of it) a good few times in the last couple of weeks.

I'm a bit late on this topic, but I feel like a good buff for the mantreads would be no fall damage. That way, soldier has a choice between no fall damage and stomping (with stomping doing more damage than it does now) or less rocket damage.

I think people here just arent lucky. By what Stats.tf says there is 51 passes in existence, 71% of which were granted with a "store promotion" [url]http://stats.tf/item/1156/Competitive_Matchmaking_Beta_Pass[/url] Then again, im just typical TF2 user

They haven't actually distributed passes to the group members yet.

[QUOTE=Snowshoe;49838522]stuff[/QUOTE] Thanks for telling, but who actualy got those? Some normal users or well known people?

[QUOTE=Creeps;49838529]Thanks for telling, but who actualy got those? Some normal users or well known people?[/QUOTE] The comp guys that went to Valve last year + some of their friends, and other community members/top level players.

The update will release when it is ready. Do you like my prediction?

[QUOTE=Zadrave;49838738]The update will release when it is ready. Do you like my prediction?[/QUOTE] No. Your prediction makes me sad.

[QUOTE=Zadrave;49838738]The update will release when it is ready. Do you like my prediction?[/QUOTE] No, I want a messy update filled with half-finished content and easily fixed bugs. ...So the average TF2 update, really.

i've conducted some research, and i can confirm that the update will come out.

Seeing as there's only a couple more contracts left in the Tough Break update and all the twitter hype has been wrong so far, I'm gonna guess that the update won't drop until next week after the last contracts have been given out.

[QUOTE=Zadrave;49838738]The update will release when it is ready. Do you like my prediction?[/QUOTE] Implying that will ever actually be ready, and not released in a half finished state, and then just left to sit there and never be touched again.

[QUOTE=Oizen;49839083]Implying that will ever actually be ready, and not released in a half finished state, and then just left to sit there and never be touched again.[/QUOTE] If Valve does that to matchmaking TF2 will be screwed, a lot hangs on MM, and valve knows this. [QUOTE=Zeos;49839126]Let's be fair, it will launch with unforgivable bugs[/QUOTE] If theres not atlest one game braking bug ill be mad.

Let's be fair, it will launch with unforgivable bugs

[QUOTE=sponge7325;49837485]Wouldn't it be nice if instead of Valve sending e-mails about what they're doing to a select few people they just told [I]everybody[/I] what was going on?[/QUOTE] For whatever reason Valve has had high level competitive TF2 players be the one to communicate with the TF2 community about matchmaking since the beginning.

i speculate that we will get this rumored update tomorrow or thursday
