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

I believe that in most cultures, this is referred to as "twisting the knife".

[QUOTE=Square_Rabbit;52533759]Protip: If you abandon any and all expectations whatsoever, you'll only feel slightly disappointed when they fuck something up.[/QUOTE] I expected the medals to be released in their own update this week and I'm still disappointed

Yea so, I've been playing Mannpower, and the server has crashed 5 times. It's looking like when a player grabs the regen power and it get's used, the entire server crashes. Fun.

Valve pls, this is literally the biggest tease in human history.

Jill you can come out now with the cameras the pranks over ... it was a prank right? RIGHT?

If he or she starts posting somewhere soon, could be that i was correct on this.

Are all of these "rocketblast" errors new? They are appearing every second. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/k4U2qnm.jpg[/IMG] Was on Thunder Mountain CTF, and while typing the post, the server crashed again.

If they cant even ship a stable update, then I can understand why the update is taking so long: incompetence [editline]2nd August 2017[/editline] The crash happens whenever someone has the regen item and someone caps, btw

As someone who got their items shipped with this update, i'm not complaining, although the time spent on mannpower is questionable at best, especially with the pyro update around the corner... EDIT: they somehow done fucked up the entire game. Healing during setup, etc. [QUOTE=Shaohs;52533796]If they cant even ship a stable update, then I can understand why the update is taking so long: incompetence[/QUOTE] Community- "One of the biggest updates ever with reworks, contracts, competitive, etc." TF Team- "I have 5 programmers"

You know what, its kind of good that they shipped this now, can you imagine this crash issue shipped with Pyro Update? Unless this affect only mannpower (the capping crash), but even then it shouldn't happen.

I'm astonished they didn't just release these changes with the Jungle update. This is like throwing a lettuce leaf into a pit of ravenous dogs.

the update broke static jumping and healing during setup time

Why was Mannpower ever a thing and why did none of you valve-pilgrims bother to sneak in a question about its existence. It's just so baffling, you [I]have[/I] to know the answer.

[QUOTE=valvenews;52533856]the update broke static jumping and healing during setup time[/QUOTE] Oh man, what a joke this update is

I hope its just the "small" fix/patch before the update, or else Im going to be sad

Someone on server got a sentry kill, using the sentry owns rockets, and it crashed the server, maybe that could be it?

I'm having flashbacks to the stairs in upwards spawn update

[QUOTE=valvenews;52533903] Response from Mr. Riller; "Thanks, Tyler. We’ll investigate. Haven’t forgotten about your questions. Have been super busy. Thanks, Dave"[/QUOTE] That must either mean they are in crunch time or the update is still about a month away.

[QUOTE=Fluury;52533907][IMG]https://my.mixtape.moe/xlbkzf.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] Jokes aside, the PASS TIME Tournament back in November (I think? IDK) was the first real dev-supported tournament, since the guys at Escalation were communicating with us and Rob about medals. Although the prizepool was definitely smaller.

[QUOTE=Doodle966;52533891]I hope its just the "small" fix/patch before the update, or else Im going to be sad[/QUOTE] Yeah, soon we will get the small update to fix the fixes of the small update.

What I don't get is, if they have a lot of the weapon adjustments done already and told us what they'd be, why didn't they just release those with this little update? Sure it would still piss people off that it wasn't the Jungle Update, but it would give people some time to toy around with the adjusted weapons before they add new weapons in as well with the big update whenever it actually releases.

Given the update apparently broke a bunch of stuff even outside Mannpower it isnt too unrealistic to expect an Update tomorrow/today since it literally crashes Casual Servers.

Is this actually one of the worst updates ever? At least in terms of CRASHING EVERYTHING.

I can forgive them being this quiet about the update but to do a minor mannpower update like this while blueballing us is kinda messed up. I think they're screwing with us at this point

I'm thinking the "sleeping under their desks to finally finish the update" thing was a blizzard-sized white lie at this point. I mean, you would think that they would at least say something along the lines of "Here's a teaser/bugfix release for the new update!" like they did with MYM.
