TF2 General Chat and Update Speculation Station - One of Several Edition - Games

[QUOTE=Big Snake Bos;52621372]I only hope that in the future we wont have any more 1 year updates,or bi-yearly updates.[/QUOTE] So no updates at all?

[QUOTE=Nebrassy;52617805]it pretty much is, you won't find a deal in pubs, maybe in a trade server you'll find a new trader interested. It's because half a scrap is worth nothing now, most people would say it's not worth the time to do such a trade[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Drury;52617822]Last time I tried this was years ago, and I could only get people's attention at rec each. Even then I had to spam like crazy, most people didn't care even for that.[/QUOTE] Trading scrap for random weps is dead? Trading has come a loooong way since I quit trading. Isn't that one of the staples of making profit? [I]THE[/I] basic method of making it? I mean, people want metal for items right? I can understand why people don't see it's worth the time, but damn .... never thought I'd see the day selling weps for scrap would die.

[QUOTE=bananaslamma;52621393]So no updates at all?[/QUOTE] I may be the biggest valve critic here, and sometimes needlessly pessimistic to the point of being dumb-bombed, but even that seems a bit of a stretch. The game keeps making money, and people keep making content for it, even after 400+ days without an update. It would be bad business for valve to entirely stop supporting a franchise which can do that, and I think they're at least smart enough not to do that.

Gabe himself said they have so much money it doesn't affect their decisions anymore.

i61 is over. This week would be good to finally get it out.

[QUOTE=Oizen;52620991]Remember when people thought it would come out in June?[/QUOTE] Remember when people told them not to tie it in with smissmass

[QUOTE=gjw22;52621726]Remember when people told them not to tie it in with smissmass[/QUOTE] 'member when people thought the first nine hats would be around forever?

what kind of mental gymnastics does this lithium dev go through part of the reason why people quit/consider tf2 "da dead" is because of hackers in every server - so if its dead in your eyes, you were effectively part of killing it I really hate the condescending smugness leaking off cheat developers, valve should really go the bliz way and sue those fucks then record the reactions

Anybody that engages in anti-social and destructive behaviors employ extreme rationalization to absolve themselves, especially if there's financial incentive. Cheat creators don't care about the game or its community. They'll throw back any excuse to rationalize or deflect the destructive impact. Things like "It's just a game (so it doesn't really matter)", "Valve is greedy (so I can be too)", or "If Valve cared they'd make VAC good (it's their job to stop it)." [QUOTE=Bakyte;52621859]is there some sort of T&C holding valve back from doing something like that?[/QUOTE] They'd first have to track down the individuals and prove it's their doing, both of which are tough if someone's covering their tracks. Take-Two did this by hiring PIs to find cheat developers, but they took it to the extreme and hunted down mod developers as well.

Not going to be this week. Don't bother getting your hopes up.

[QUOTE=CoolJosh3k;52621930]Not going to be this week. Don't bother getting your hopes up.[/QUOTE] Do you have any more proof than the people saying its this week?

For the first time i have a feeling that it may be this week or the next one. It actually can be.

[QUOTE=Fluury;52621957]Do you have any more proof than the people saying its this week?[/QUOTE] Jill is his mom.

What will happen first? 1 The end of my exams (8sept). or 2 the update Place your bets. I'm going with 2.

If the update isn't at least 3-4 days long I'm gonna lose my mind.

[QUOTE=ics;52621965]For the first time i have a feeling that it may be this week or the next one. It actually can be.[/QUOTE] Did you make any Jungle maps?

[QUOTE=ComodoreBluth;52622000]Jill is his mom.[/QUOTE] Did my photo on the blog give it away?

who said the update is ready and i61 was holding it out?

[QUOTE=Blackavar;52622187]Did you make any Jungle maps?[/QUOTE] Based on earlier posts, ICS did and has moved on a while ago. I hope you get a map in, ICS.

[QUOTE=CoolJosh3k;52622419]Based on earlier posts, ICS did and has moved on a while ago. I hope you get a map in, ICS.[/QUOTE] Maybe the TF Team emailed ics telling him one of his maps was selected for the update, implying the update is soon. [QUOTE=ics;52621965]It actually can be.[/QUOTE]

Yeah i did 2 maps, but before you jump into conclusions, i havent received any new information nor i have been contacted. Its just a feeling that i have. Also, thanks CoolJosh3k for the kinds words.

obviously ics got a map in and is now damage controlling because he accidentally spilled the beans off to reddit! [IMG]https://files.catbox.moe/df0uvo.jpg[/IMG]

450+ right?

I can't wait to receive my summer update in the fall.

[QUOTE=Lord Exor;52623588]I can't wait to receive my summer update in the fall.[/QUOTE] I can't wait for my Heavy update to arrive never.

This is what passes for TF2 map maker humor. Me: Hey TF2MapMaker, did you update the workshop version of [map we're working on]? TF2MapMaker: Not yet. I have to do one last compile. Me: Remember the cubemaps. TF2MapMaker: That sounds like some mapping documentary about cubemaps. Me: [t]http://i.imgur.com/GE0PmEm.jpg[/t]

That is exactly the issue we've had in the past, and why I was reminding him about it.
