Christ the lack of updates is turning this whole TF2 section into a nuclear bomb just waiting to go off, huh?

But hell i can finally say i agree with Contra on something

[HoundFromHell]

So, are our best bets on august?
To be honest, i feel like this update will get me back to playing, even if it is as bad as MYM.

Unpopular opinion : i actually liked MYM a lot.

All these <99 posts, that I haven't read for two hours, were :thebest:

Anyway, I still hope for July, 'cause [I]I'm wasted, I'm tired[/I] and I want something to happen.

I agree with your opinion to a point. I will admit that in the time that followed the released it wasn't totally amazing. Casual had its issues and is now largely been resolved to a level that I am satisfied with. I will even say that Casual is better than the Quick-Play system it replaced. I say this though as when Quick-Play was still a thing I [I]rarely[/I] used it. I almost exclusively used the server browser to find the the server I want to play

I have to say I'm surprised by your hostility after our conversation earlier. Afraid I'd make your services obsolete again, Reag?

Speaking of controversial mods, do you think they'll eventually rework the sv_pure settings to be more forgiving? Obviously restricting stuff like high visibility model replacers or decloak sound replacements is important, but allowing more stuff like weapon sound mods and animation replacers can't hurt. Having to go through the preloading song and dance every time I launch the game just to get the animation mods working is pretty tedious.

[kerpkek]

Doubt it. They're pretty adamant about pushing the whole "make everything look consistent to the 20 people watching a tf2 stream at any given time" thing

[Ultravod]

Also they don't want you faking weapon skins, even if it's only for you. Of course, given that they removed QuickPlay and associated guidelines, it's now possible to fake "economy items" like unusual hats on Skial, for the low price of $60 a year.

I think it'd also be nice to keep sv_pure on competitive servers only tbh.

It might be for better for you to either read it all or just leave the whole thing be.

Jesus. When I got into TF2 and Facepunch in 2014, I didn't know it would all end like this.

I had fun, and I enjoyed my stay, but should I have? Everywhere I turn I hear people talking about how TF2 is dying or already dead. I hear people longing for "the good old days" of TF2. Heck, even on Facepunch people are saying that TF2 has long overstayed its welcome. Is this true? I hope not.

But, hell. What do I know? I'm just some stupid kid who likes making maps and playing on modded servers. Maybe TF2 was never good to begin with and I'm just stupid.

I think the vibes I got from TF2 when it first came out are different than the game of TF2 i play now. But it still has an overall enjoyable feel. Going back to what i first felt when i played it on Xbox and my first impressions are always a grande time.

I feel TF2 is very different; it has sacrificed many astetics an immersive feels, but Gameplay Balance, and interesting and enjoyable ways to play the game, have both been improved on exponentially.

I'll always remember the great feelings of looking at TF2 class selection screen and so overwelmed at how different the 9 classes where, but i honestly think alot of stuff how we saw TF2 is a bit of rose tinted glasses.

I still love it :)

um no lol

90% unlocks were either more fun or balanced (sometimes both) on their first iteration.

(yes tomislav and enforcer are part of that other 10%)

This is TF2 when I last played like 2 days ago

shit sure has changed

[AD/HD]

Sweet sweet change.
It's beatiful

[NO LOAFING!]

it's changed so much, but at the same time it hasn't changed at all

almost all of the jokes from the second video could've been in the first one and wouldn't have been out of place one bit

[QUOTE=Craptasket;52491329]bullshit[/QUOTE]

die

for idiots that circlejerk over r/tf2 being bad, at least they have half-decent mods from what i've seen.

you all are some ass, not to mention you don't even play the game.

like fuck you for real, do your fucking jobs and stop complaining when you actually have to moderate. fucking morons.

But..but aren't we supposed to all love Wickedplayer because of how fast he posts patch notes and blog posts?

I mean it's not just a job you could setup a bot to do like over on TF2maps.net.

I have a feeling most of the people who love him over on reddit have never seen why he was banned here (or noticed how weird his posts can be sometimes).

He's banned here for a reason, don't go far off topic though

[DrDonut]

He's banned from r/dota2 for being very territorial over those patch note posts/blog posts. He's a silly guy.

On topic, I haven't played TF2 for a very long time due to just general burn out. I hope the update goes well and that Valve maybe starts focusing on regularly updating it (which seems very unlikely sadly). TF2 is a game that did F2P right, along with being very enjoyable and replayable with all of the customization (both with cosmetics and weapon loadouts). Even though I don't play, I still enjoy checking out all the concept art, modeling, texturing, etc. that goes on in the Emporium and enjoyed watching all the GMOD and SFM videos that were made due to TF2. The game has a very productive, creative community that I will miss dearly when it ends.
