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

[QUOTE=Fluury;52648929][t]https://files.catbox.moe/1769kd.png[/t] After a long pause of no Updates Crash just uploaded rc5 of [URL="https://tf2maps.net/downloads/overgrown.672/"]Overgrown[/URL] :thinking: What odd timing. I wonder if it has any meaning? Surely it's the 4:20 AM.[/QUOTE] If i disagree with you, you propably think i have some inside information from the so called "inside mappers society". But releasing update isnt really tied to getting map in or not. Its just something that mappers care about - making best maps as they possible can so i think he updated the map atleast for that reason. He cares about his work and makes it better.

I'm just seeing this as another puzzle piece falling into place for wednesday.

I just play MvM for fun. I don't care about loot, but then I have learned through experience to not bother caring about loot.

I'm just seeing this as another puzzle piece falling into place for wednesday.[/QUOTE] Honestly, I'm just gonna say that it'll happen in 96 days (as of Sept 1), and I did say that in a video, so December 6 2017, everyone, new official day.

This is your daily reminder that the Dead Ringer has still not been nerfed. /wrist

I had a dream about the update too, well, more like a nightmare. It was another blog post, they made Upward a payload race, and they wanted to make Pass Time restricted to Scout only, with the ball model reduced to baseball size. I don't know what the post said, but I remember the team sounded unsure and still wanted some feedback.

[QUOTE=Ghostlier;52648949]Strange Contract Reward Mercenary weapons are hilariously rare. I kinda hope they add an easier way for them to be made; I'd kill for Strange Boneyard weapons but there's no way I'm spending $1000+ to own a single one. I personally own a Strange Factory New Barn Burner which is worth around 100 keys according to the last time it was sold, and I've had it for some time. It's a really nice flamethrower skin, probably one of my favorites.[/QUOTE] Non civilian grade strange skins are mostly crafted with trade up contracts, using 10 civilian grade stranges to get 1 strange mercenary grade skins, 10 strange mercenary grade stranges... you get the idea, that's why higher grades are ridiculously expensive

I just hope they release a uncut patch for german tf2 players in the future, like what Half Life 1 got

[QUOTE=Der dasMann;52649532]I just hope they release a uncut patch for german tf2 players in the future, like what Half Life 1 got[/QUOTE] I don't remember where I got it since it was almost ten years ago but I'm using a blood patch pretty much from day 1 on. Just [url="https://www.google.de/search?q=tf2+blood+patch&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-ab&gfe_rd=cr&dcr=0&ei=LYGuWc3dC4zSXv-VgfgL"]google it[/url]. There's never going to be an official patch from Valve.

[QUOTE=CoolJosh3k;52648995]I just play MvM for fun. I don't care about loot, but then I have learned through experience to not bother caring about loot.[/QUOTE] mvm isn't that fun though, it's way too repetitive. The chance of loot is the only thing that makes it somewhat exciting.

So I recently took a look at my recent market activity and I noticed I bought gray paint from [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198152542663/"]this[/URL] guy, check his weird [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198152542663/friends/"]friends list[/URL]. Does anyone know what the fuck going on here?, is it some sort of extreme idle network by some guy? Maybe that "10011" guy?

So it looks like [url=https://www.gamingheads.com/licenses/team-fortress-2.html]GamingHeads[/url] is still continuing the TF2 statue collection, they posted a tease for a Pyro statue on their facebook group. [img]http://puu.sh/xs4Md/7a51340e23.jpg[/img]

This is good news indeed! Also I would absolutely drop some dosh on a pyro statue with the best looking flamethrower imo

I still wonder if the 9/6 meant the update *release* or the day one Blog Post. If it was the update, that would mean we are going to get a Blog Post tonight, since it's 100% going to be 2day.

Remember people, there's a chance we don't get an update at all this week. I personally think we will but I'm just saying, don't get too hyped.

Watch the update hit when this hurricane hits, and I'm without power. But I suppose at this point TF2 is the least of my concern.

You can test your own missions in the sigsegv MvM server, right? Maybe I could get some people to test out my mission that way?

[QUOTE=prizepool;52650004]Remember people, there's a chance we don't get an update at all this week.

I just find that it stings less not getting workshop content into an update if you don't get too excited.

In the meantime, Rocketjump Crabwalk Fortresss has been working hard on making sure that the update is safe for even the tiniest of TF2 players.

[QUOTE=bananaslamma;52649558]mvm isn't that fun though, it's way too repetitive. The chance of loot is the only thing that makes it somewhat exciting.[/QUOTE] I love the concept of MVM and I would spend so much of my money if they just dropped a few new maps. I just hate that people are only willing to play mann up since it gives you loot. I try to make things fresh by playing non meta, stupid strategy's with friends. Running triple or even quad snipers is really fun. Also running double medics and just shield bashing everything is surprisingly effective.

I just hope that when it'll happen, doesnt matter if today, tomorrow, or thursday, the Update and it's pages will drop in EU-bearable times. Please dont force us to either miss the update or stay up till 3 AM :worried:

I remember the Uber Update dropped around 11 PM EST.

Have the Valve artists whip up a new set of Australiums and bot killers, put out special tour of duty tickets for the event that give Australiums and some bot killers drops an exclusive unusual effect for the duration of the event and pay out a portion of that to pay the map makers. I would also update the squad surplus voucher drop table to make it possible to earn strange parts, and maybe some exclusive weapon skins/bot killers. Maybe even make it possible to earn any hat with a couple of exclusive unusual effects as a very rare drop. It just feels like Valve is missing out on a real easy way to make money with all the community made MVM maps and missions.

I dont know, 3 weeks ago previous and this week looked like a week that the update might arrive but it didnt arrive last week and this week looks pretty much done too. I think we have to wait another week. :ohno: [QUOTE=ComodoreBluth;52650132]Honesty I just don't understand why we aren't getting a yearly MVM update with 3 or 4 community maps.

Perhaps thats why they arent so interested on doing one.

I hope there's some kind of joke in store with Team Crabwalk Rocketjump Fortress, maybe him/her/pyro being taken away because they don't know that babies don't like sandviches or dakolahs bars.
