ding ding ding. fluury wheres the gif? no blog post today

[QUOTE=gjw22;52436597]ding ding ding. fluury wheres the gif? no update today[/QUOTE] we still have time. hopes are lowering but i still believe

We still have another hour.

[QUOTE=Ace of Butts;52436609]We still have another hour.[/QUOTE] Two, actually. I didn't collect the blog post times for y'all to keep under and overshooting the time. >:(

[QUOTE=Ace of Butts;52436609]We still have another hour.[/QUOTE] Watch them just launch the entire update out of nowhere in like 30 minutes

I'm sure they're trying to be as transparent as possible by releasing the update with no preview

I'm personally already calling the "not this week" card. An update as reportedly big as this would have been posted hours ago like Meet Your Match, and I know I'm only going to be crushed if I still cling onto hope for today. Feel free to give me an endless amount of Dumb symbols if the blog post hits anytime before Friday.

I'm leaving for about a month in a week so if it's not this week i'll be devastated

I wonder if Jill is watching this thread and taking joy in our suffering.

I refuse to believe theyll let us suffer another friggin week the power of optimism shall grant me the ability to stay up for the next 50 minutes

[QUOTE=Chowderhead;52436651]I'm leaving for about a month in a week so if it's not this week i'll be devastated[/QUOTE] Same... leaving next friday for a couple of days so if it's multi-day my disappointment will be immeasurable.

[QUOTE=Fluury;52436661]I refuse to believe theyll let us suffer another friggin week the power of optimism shall grant me the ability to stay up for the next 50 minutes[/QUOTE] Oh, please. The team doesn't care if we suffer, they're probably laughing at us as we speak.

[QUOTE=vevota;52436668]Oh, please. The team doesn't care if we suffer, they're probably laughing at us as we speak.[/QUOTE] if they're doing anything they're just looking at the posts and saying "oh, that's unfortunate for them I guess" and then get back to work

[QUOTE=Fluury;52436661]I refuse to believe theyll let us suffer another friggin week[/QUOTE] If it takes a week it'll be because the update isn't ready yet. They aren't just holding out on you because they don't care about the people waiting for the update. Have some patience.

[QUOTE=Fluury;52436661]I refuse to believe theyll let us suffer another friggin week the power of optimism shall grant me the ability to stay up for the next 50 minutes[/QUOTE] ha, you didn't adapt enough, I just woke up

[QUOTE=Contra132;52436097]I went and did it. It's not exact because I got the times from Reddit postings, but they're relatively punctual and I couldn't find times anywhere else. Love and War Clock - 6:58 PM Mountain Time Love and War Day 1 - 6 PM Mountain Time Love and War Day 2 - 4:40 PM Mountain Time Gun Mettle Almost Here - 6:28 PM Mountain Time Gun Mettle Actually Here - 3:35 PM Mountain Time Tough Break Is Coming - 12:45 PM Mountain Time Tough Break Is Live - 3:34 PM Mountain Time Meet Your Match Is Coming - 10:30 AM Mountain Time Meet Your Match Is Live - 7:26 PM Mountain Time Aside from MyM's...early morning announcement (that still confuses me), most of these seem to come late afternoon/early evening. The latest in the past three years thus far has been MyM going live, which was at 7:26 PM Mountain Time, 6:26 PM for Valve and 9:26 for East Coasters. So I'd say we can call it for sure in 5 hours. It's most likely to be sooner than that if it does come, however.[/QUOTE] Reposted for the evening crew who wants to keep track of the time. It is currently 5:52 PM Mountain Time.

If not tonight then next week for sure. Surely. Ugh, I wish they would be more transparent about when updates would arrive, or give us a teaser/countdown.

[QUOTE=Contra132;52436675]Reposted for the evening crew who wants to keep track of the time. It is currently 5:52 PM Mountain Time.[/QUOTE] Silly, but this kind of reignited my hope again. Thanks for doing this.

You guys are too optimistic about tonight, the TF2 team told VNN multiple times that they would answer his questions before the update and that still hasn't happened, it's probably best to not put too much expectations in the update happening before we get those interview questions answered.

They could have easily decided not to answer Tyler's questions until the update is already released, day 1 comes out, or they just opt not to do it at all.

[QUOTE=bobpineapple;52436703]this has partially ruined my hope for the night, but they could very easily send him the email the day of the update (tomorrow) before it launches. my optimism is getting the best of me, though.[/QUOTE] As Contra said, those questions could be answered any time.

:hypeisnotreal: It's going to be next week, calling it.

[QUOTE=Slip Nip;52436719]:hypeisnotreal: It's going to be next week, calling it.[/QUOTE] I'd derail further into August, what with valve moving offices and all

[QUOTE=C. Blades;52433441]I have never ever seen the base jumper abused to the ridiculous lengths that you people are claiming in casual. I [I]have[/I] seen exactly that in 6v6 pre-ban and agree it needed a change, but honestly, the thing is fairly useless without the air strike in casual due to taking full damage from rocket jumps, the overabundance of snipers/hitscan classes shooting at you, and just generally being outclassed by the gunboats in terms of mobility that won't get you killed. To the average casual player, this change will probably turn the weapon into crafting fuel due to being vastly easier to kill while using it, when you could be using the gunboats.[/QUOTE] Useless because of full damage rocket jumps? That's a little extreme. Every secondary except the Gunboats doesn't negate self-damage. Is the Shotgun now useless? Are the banners now useless? That's a ridiculous thing to say. Also, you're overestimating pub hitscan players. A B.A.S.E. Solly in a pub can easily destroy everyone just by slightly strafing from what I've seen. The nerf is needed all-around.

the announcement post was a year ago tomorrow, but that was a wednesday, so if we dont get one today, it will probably be next week because that doesnt leave enough time for how big its supposed to be

[QUOTE=AD/HD;52436748]the announcement post was a year ago tomorrow, but that was a wednesday, so if we dont get one today, it will probably be next week because that doesnt leave enough time for how big its supposed to be[/QUOTE] I don't understand the point you're even getting at

So since toweek isn't the week is nextoweek the week?

2 more hours, and THEN ring the bell
