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

[QUOTE=fendermcbender;52534558]I wonder what the answer to 5 is[/QUOTE] Hopefully we get an estimated release date and an explanation why this update is taking so long for question 5.

most questions answered? i really hope the release date window question got answered.

questions answered makes me think the update cant be too far off or they wouldve been answered sooner

[QUOTE=DatHarry;52534568]questions answered makes me think the update cant be too far off or they wouldve been answered sooner[/QUOTE] Part of me actually expects the update to release tomorrow. if not, next week for sure. [I]pls[/I] edit: that is, if the answer confirms that the update will be out this month, without being any more specific.

[QUOTE=fendermcbender;52534558]I wonder what the answer to 5 is[/QUOTE] The answer is disappointment.

[QUOTE=bobpineapple;52534572]Part of me actually expects the update to release tomorrow. if not, next week for sure. [I]pls[/I] edit: that is, if the answer confirms that the update will be out this month, without being any more specific.[/QUOTE] yea wouldnt be surprised if the update was in tge next few days simply because valve doesnt like to say much until they've got somethong to show very soon

So this updated ended up breaking static jumps and healing in the preround before the match starts. Its like valve doesn't even think this shit through. No doubt a a result of this: [quote]Players can no longer grapple while frozen before a round starts or while stunned [/quote]

Tyler agreed to my post about question 5, maybe we will get an estimated release date.

[video=youtube;cYpz3abAk98]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYpz3abAk98[/video] I didn't think I would have to use this so soon. I have to say, I've gotten some more faith for the TF2 Team. I did not expect them to release a fix tonight. And Tylers questions getting answered came out of left field. I hope this is not the beginning of the end of their communication with us

[QUOTE=Fluury;52533536] That note for Pyro is kinda... weird? Pyro doesn't have any items that gain rage. Unless they mean the phlog.[/QUOTE] rage includes any gun with charge meters. sodapopper, all the banners, phlog, cleaner's carbine. most notably heavy's minigun and medic's shield in mvm aswell.

I'm so ready to be disappointed by the answers to the questions but that isn't going to stop me from getting excited

Hopefully there will be no more update blue balls before the Pyro Update

[QUOTE=Contrakin;52534696]Hopefully there will be no more update blue balls before the Pyro Update[/QUOTE] Maybe some preperatory bugfixes here and there but hopefully no more massive bouts of silence.

[QUOTE=RoboHobo;52534685]I'm so ready to be disappointed by the answers to the questions but that isn't going to stop me from getting excited[/QUOTE] I have a pretty good feeling there will be quite a bit of meat for this ravenous wolf pack of a playerbase

[QUOTE=Blackavar;52534550]VNN's questions before the video comes out: 1. How much pull did the team have in the development of the OST Vinyl? Are the new soundscape and unseen SFM pictures purposeful teasing? 2. Mr. Lombardi stressed Valve's push to Source 2, stating that "Source 2 is the future for every project." Does this apply to TF2? 3. Almost three years have passed since the introduction of the Mann Co. Beta Maps program. What is the status on Asteroid and Cactus Canyon? 4. How far into the future does the team look? How much of a future, in terms of years, do you see for TF2 at this point? 5. Late June/Early July? 6. How does the team divide labor to achieve such high goals? With a smaller team, how do you get the work done? 7. What are the benefits of tiered rarity with cosmetics in crates? apparently some of those have been answered[/QUOTE] Number 5s gonna be a bit awkward now :v: Also I too can't wait for some vague non-answers to over analyze.

[QUOTE=Whomobile;52534722]Number 5s gonna be a bit awkward now :v: Also I too can't wait for some vague non-answers to over analyze.[/QUOTE] I can't wait to see them "valve" the questions.

[QUOTE=valvenews;52534536]Video incoming, most questions answered.[/QUOTE] Have we finally made it to the end of the desert? And also Is it Audio or is it typed VNN?

any ETA on the video? dont mean to be "that guy" or anything, but i want to go to sleep but have been staying up for it to be published

[QUOTE=bobpineapple;52534814]any ETA on the video? dont mean to be "that guy" or anything, but i want to go to sleep but have been staying up for it to be published[/QUOTE] Tyler is being affected by Valve time now.

[QUOTE=bobpineapple;52534814]any ETA on the video? dont mean to be "that guy" or anything, but i want to go to sleep but have been staying up for it to be published[/QUOTE] Been working non-stop since I got the email. like 1-2 hours.

[QUOTE=valvenews;52534848]Been working non-stop since I got the email. like 1-2 hours.[/QUOTE] ty based tyler ♥

Relevant [video=youtube;kl4vBzHw1Vs]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kl4vBzHw1Vs[/video] Even though the patch itself is ridiculous, i'm tired of feeling bad about them. So [I]trying[/I] to look at this optimistic i can see that they a) Released an update! b) Adressed actual problems c) Added medals on time d) [I]Probably[/I] preparing for actual release. Little more likely due to incoming Tyler's video.

Tyler is like a beacon of light in these dark times, hes the hero we need but not the one we deserve

[QUOTE=Shaohs;52534884]Tyler is like a beacon of light in these dark times, hes the hero we need but not the one we deserve[/QUOTE] A hero we need now a days. heh Im just joshin tyler, you're a cool guy

When a community's only hope for knowing when to expect an update release is through the video of a community valve non-affiliate, that's the point you have to ask yourself if it's worth having expectations at all.

[QUOTE=Punchy;52534924]When a community's only hope for knowing when to expect an update release is through the video of a community valve non-affiliate, that's the point you have to ask yourself if it's worth having expectations at all.[/QUOTE] Damnit your right. What are we even hoping for anymore?

[QUOTE=Punchy;52534924]When a community's only hope for knowing when to expect an update release is through the video of a community valve non-affiliate, that's the point you have to ask yourself if it's worth having expectations at all.[/QUOTE] It looks very bad when you put it that way. But what it actually is, is answers to questions accumulated over the span of time, that were relayed to the company through renowned community member. Now, they respond not as much to him, but to us all. Besides, it was promised that they will get an answer, shortly before [I]actual[/I] update release. Think about it in terms of companies and press - they don't give new info to every client individually, instead, they choose reliable outlet to spread new knowledge through them.

C'mon valve, I've been waking up at 10 PM for over 2 months, give me something already
