Final Major Update Speculation V37 - This is the last MUS thread. Speculate in General Chat. - Games

[QUOTE=Youme;52439996]So, situation as normal then. Seems like every week there's [I]someone[/I] claiming the next update is next week[/QUOTE] well no one really expected them to pull a "latest summer update ever",which is a situation far from normal, which is so many are expecting it next week now.

So, even if we call Smissmas 2016 a "major" update, does that make this the longest major update drought in TF2 history?

[QUOTE=ics;52439759] Also, i heard that Blades map [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=951657912"]Banana Bay[/URL] has been hit by downvote bots at the workshop. The stupidity from CSGO workshop seems to have arrived to TF2 too :-([/QUOTE] the thought of cp_orange being higher rated than Banana Bay disgusts me on every level.

cp_orange and its thousand variants all disgust me, you cannot make such a terrible map good.

At this point the only thing I can think they are working on is fixing bugs and such. Hopefully we will see a massive amount of performance improvements.

I honestly don't think the tf team is going to wait a month just for map makers to finish their maps, especially with the number of good maps that are already on the workshop. My guess is that they ran into a pretty bad bug when they were testing and are just trying to find time to fix it. This explains why it seems like they're still in crunch mode and why VNN's questions haven't been answered. If this is true, I believe they'll start taking map submissions as soon as they're done fixing the bug, which hopefully won't be too long.

Call it hindsight but I didn't really expect Valve to try and get the update out before the year mark. After all these are the same people who celebrated the 119th Update because shit happens.

I'm still confident the update, or at least some substantial information, will come within the month. But that said, Christ, this is really reminding me how much I fucking despise Valve's dumbass mindset as a developer. Everything has to be a monumental world-changing event incomprehensible by the minds of mere mortals. Every release must be a grand magnum opus that would bring even the hardest souls to weep tears of joy. You can't just, say, tweak some numbers or add a map or two every month or so; you've just [I]gotta[/I] reinvent the wheel every single time. It's like scope creep on a company-wide scale, and it's fucking retarded.

Can we get a Valve employee to confirm that this update will indeed be neato as well?

Hi, new here. I really do hope the jungle/pyro update releases this month. Do you have any thoughts on when it might release?

[QUOTE=Snowshoe;52440363]Can we get a Valve employee to confirm that this update will indeed be neato as well?[/QUOTE] Man neato can fuck right off. The only thing that was really neato about MVM was casual, and even then it had 8 quotation marks around it when it finally went live.

Honestly, I don't really care how long the new Pyro update takes. As long as I know that we will be getting new weapons that aren't just reskins like the previous updates, I am satisfied.

Pyro can fuck off for all I care.

If the workshop creators still have no idea when the update is dropping then I'm starting to think this update is quite a long while away. I am starting to believe in August or later too tbh.

[QUOTE=Ace of Butts;52440449]If the workshop creators still have no idea when the update is dropping then I'm starting to think this update is quite a long while away.

[QUOTE=Snowshoe;52440446]Things I actually want: - Balances. - Some cool as fuck maps. - New features and advanced options to mess around with. - Actually noticeable fixes that polish the rough edges of the game. Pyro can fuck off for all I care.[/QUOTE] I actually don't really care all that much about the jungle theme. I can always go on community servers [del]that don't exist unless it's 2fort or VSH[/del] to play custom maps, and I don't have any ideas on new features I would like. Well, that may be because I play Pyro a lot.

Things I want in a update: -A map. Just one would do -A actual date -a functioning stable game update, and not a nearly completely falling apart update like a CERTAIN UPDATE -Big fixes to cameras -Weapons Both jungle and pyro can fall in a hole, I would like a bit of a polish update with some fun extras a bit more.

I was kind of assuming that after that blog post, it would take maybe 3 to 4 weeks of extra work based on everyone's suggestions, it honestly felt like they were implying that they'd wait for the e-mails, and then try to work out something. So maybe a release near the end of July or the beginning of August isn't so far fetched.

Every time I see this thread with the high browsing count I'm expecting the update to finally be here and get disappointed every time.

It might dip when it drops cause people will play/ read about it

I mean, or later is far worse,but at August, there have been no updates released that month (except MvM, which took a while, hope this one doesn't)
