[QUOTE=HiddenShadow;52533897]I'm having flashbacks to the stairs in upwards spawn update[/QUOTE] I'm still waiting for that Stairs Update, Valve.

Super busy with what, exactly?

[QUOTE=Lord Exor;52533971]Super busy with what, exactly?[/QUOTE] Breaking the game

Stupid Speculation: They didnt bother to add a MannPower section to their Update page so they got the Mannpower update out of the way.

[QUOTE=Doodle966;52533955]"Have been super busy." does this mean they arnt busy anymore ?[/QUOTE] Probably no. It's a figure of speech

[QUOTE=Shaohs;52533972]Breaking the game[/QUOTE] Don't forget about updating Mannpower!

They would've said "We were busy" instead if they weren't busy

At this point, it's completely safe to jump over to the mid-late august bandwagon.

I am completely fucking speechless at this amazingly spontaneous yet shamefully typical display of valve's ineptitude and lack of self awareness.

Even though this has quite literally been a hilarious turn of events, there is nothing to prevent the Update from dropping next week, there is no need to jump on the "December" train because of a small baby patch.

[QUOTE=VX-79;52533692]I'm sorry but devoting any kind of manpower[sp]lol[/sp]that could be working on the main game to shit like this is inexcusable.[/QUOTE] I'm just glad the people who think mannpower is a good idea don't work on the main game.

I feel like the Mannpower stuff was added so the community wouldn't rage at an update consisting of nothing but medals. Ironically, I think there would have been less backlash if it had just been the medals.

hi guys, i just came from work, wtf with that mann power update??? who plays that?

[QUOTE] Halved the number of wrench hits needed to upgrade buildings[/QUOTE] So does this only apply to Mannpower or what? It's listed under "Mannpower Update" but it seems odd that a core class change would only apply in one gamemode.

Optimism : What if valve pushed this small update to get the bugs out of the way before they push the jungle update :thinking:

[QUOTE=Drury;52534166]I'm just glad the people who think mannpower is a good idea don't work on the main game.[/QUOTE] At least the guys who work on Mannpower would've updated the game.

I wouldn't get your hopes up with the belief that Mannpower was developed by a separate team.

Pass time is the mode made by another team Mannpower isn't

[QUOTE=Square_Rabbit;52534237]So does this only apply to Mannpower or what? It's listed under "Mannpower Update" but it seems odd that a core class change would only apply in one gamemode.[/QUOTE] I believe it only applies to mannpower, now the X10 loadout of haste + Jag + rescue ranger is double as effective

Right, which means Valve wasted development time on something no one cares about. Again.

Even pass-time is more popular and fun than Mannpower. Yes, Mannpower is that bad, I mean, this totally unfair and unrelated to tf gamemode was finished and taken out of beta, when things like asteroid or cactus canyon didn't. WTF Valve.

[QUOTE=RoboHobo;52534242]Optimism : What if valve pushed this small update to get the bugs out of the way before they push the jungle update :thinking:[/QUOTE] They may have intended to do that, but by doing so they created another batch of bugs. Such is irony.

Anyone else remember when Valve put Mannpower at the start of the quickplay list so for about 2 weeks that was the only gamemode that was populated? Someone at Valve has a raging boner for Mannpower and they just won't let it die.

What the fuck!? Why was dev time wasted on FUCKING Mannpower. At least ship it with the jungle update. jesus fucking christ.... we are so late already...

[QUOTE=br0ken_;52534298]Anyone else remember when Valve put Mannpower at the start of the quickplay list so for about 2 weeks that was the only gamemode that was populated? Someone at Valve has a raging boner for Mannpower and they just won't let it die.[/QUOTE] In all honesty, that's probably not far from the truth. Valve likes to put their own little pet projects/interests over necessities and the desires of consumers. Gabe Newell prefers to think otherwise, but I can't tell if he's delusional or disingenuous.

If they have enough time to work on mannpower, surely they're close to, if not already finished with the pyro update. how likely is an official launch/blog for tomorrow?

[QUOTE=bobpineapple;52534348]If they have enough time to work on mannpower, surely they're close to, if not already finished with the pyro update. how likely is an official launch/blog for tomorrow?[/QUOTE] Having a post tomorrow is very unlikely. The update will inevitably be multi-day (maybe two or three days long), so if Day One were to happen tomorrow, that means the update would come Friday/Saturday, and Valve almost never ships updates on weekends.

[QUOTE=Eric]We’ve released an optional update for Team Fortress 2 that fixes a server crash in Mannpower mode. You don’t need this optional update unless your server runs Mannpower mode.[/QUOTE] so basically there's no update
