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

It's just us

[QUOTE=Fluury;52462163]Someone from the mayann team please tell us its a third party thing before we all go insane if not leave a winky face[/QUOTE] ...Please do not take lack of a response as confirmation. This is how disappointment breeds. And then YM responds.

Jungle update countdown or not. I'm really stoked to see the finished animation!

I can confirm the countdown isn't related to the Jungle update, just the release of the SFM video that has been in production for far too long, as well as some new props for your jungle-y maps!

-Whatever-

It took all of 10 minutes from first mention of it to now. You guys need to relax!

Please don't take the "oh damn" too hardly - the work and the short is still very much appreciated and looked up upon! Well I suppose there is still a chance of something valve-related happening y'all. Ill give it 4 hours.

[QUOTE=Youme;52462178]It took all of 10 minutes from first mention of it to now. You guys need to relax![/QUOTE] With all due respect, you of all people should know how on edge the community has been waiting for the update.

these things they take time

With each day that passes my expectations for this update only increase. That list of balance changes better be ten pages long.

Remember when we were all scared they were going to package the update with Smissmass? Jokes. It won't be this week, and if it is, I will give away a set of earbuds to a rando zing on this post.

Who was scared of that? Better than packaging nothing with Smissmas, which is what they ended up doing.

R/tf2 and reddit in general is just one giant circle jerk, what did you expect ?

I got goosebumps for 5 seconds. I thought it was happening.

well I suppose it can also be seen as a compliment Mayann and that timer is really well done, I wont blame anyone for mistaking it as an official thing.

Nothing is happening this week. If anything, Valve will only postpone the update out of respect for the Mayann project, refusing to steal its thunder with their own SFM short.

[QUOTE=Trogarr;52462329]I got goosebumps for 5 seconds. I thought it was happening.[/QUOTE] well, something is happening. Just not what we were exactly hoping for.

So it's [B][U]2:30[/U][/B] right now: The big video isn't a valve-related video (not that it's bad just unrelated), it's almost the end of the workday for Valve (probably), and they haven't pushed anything big or small out for other source games today. [B][U]Calling it at 3:30 just to be safe though.[/U][/B] [B][U]ALSO: POLL RESULTS[/U][/B] [sp]I voted no in the beginning just to be honest[/sp] [img]http://i.imgur.com/QI50AC8.png[/img]

[QUOTE=Stroheim;52462356] [B][U]ALSO: POLL RESULTS[/U][/B] [img]http://i.imgur.com/QI50AC8.png[/img][/QUOTE] I honestly expected it to be ~60% no instead of a clean 50/50 split

In all seriousness, give valve a week. It will probably be next week. [QUOTE=grif;52461443]Effectively out of range? So why is it that every pyro ever likes to run scorch shot? Why is it so difficult to 1v1 a revolver spy without the smg? *scout shoots you with scatter from across the map*... *scope hops* I think you lack the knowledge to counter snipers. I'm sure you're capable of doing at least one of the above... Here's a bonus... Did you know the Direct Hit / LNL is pretty good at countering snipers? Just learn to take into account the time it takes for a sniper to descope and move left or right. There's a good chance you'll one shot him. I would think aim discipline is a fairly good downside. Most people can't do the flashy quick scope 360 shit. If we wanna talk about something without downsides, lets talk about Pyro in a 1v1 at close range with just about any class. I honestly can't think of any downsides Pyro has in this situation. In fact, Pyro will most always benefit from being shot at point blank by explosive classes. [/QUOTE] In this episode of Commander Contrarian, we learn why pyro needs a nerf in his optimal range because bullet classes dont exist, why sniper is apparently so easily beaten that he totally doesn't define the HL metagame or anything, and how the age old strategy of [I]"hope he misses your head"[/I] is the secret to not talking an easy 150 to the body from anywhere on the map. I thought you were supposed to be one of the best at this game. I mean, I don't pretend to be, but if you want to stand at the end of tr_walkway and teach us all how to "counterplay" a premiership sniper by "moving left and right", be my guest...

[QUOTE=Fluury;52462408]Does Contra have to whip out the big list of blog post times to prove that 3:30 is way too early to ring the bell or do you already know that[/QUOTE] The last time went the full thing we had contra fucking wanting to hold on to it for 30 minutes. It was almost 6:30 at that point.

i lost the faith

[QUOTE=Stroheim;52462423]The last time went the full thing we had contra fucking wanting to hold on to it for 30 minutes. It was almost 6:30 at that point.[/QUOTE] It's almost as if he was drawing attention to the fact that Blog Posts have arrived at later times than 3:30 or 6:30

Noah Fence but if you think a pyro at close range is a guaranteed death sentence regardless of class, you're really overestimating how powerful the second worse class in the game is. Being good at cqb is a very counter-able strength, especially if they don't have the degreaser switch bonus to deal with you exiting their range.

The best thing to do currently is just wait it out, give them time and they'll release it when it's ready.

The lack of communication just makes the community hype up updates even more. Rumours start. Still, every day that passes is one day nearer to the update.

[QUOTE=runnerbeany;52462449]The lack of communication just makes the community hype up updates even more. Rumours start. Still, every day that passes is one day nearer to the update.[/QUOTE] Or one day closer to despair. It depends on the point of view really.
