It is too early to ring the bell. Even though I believe nothing is coming today, at least give it a few more hours just to be sure.

Posting the Mayann video with no other context is almost as bad as Punchy's stunt from earlier.
What are the chances that the Mayann Project short ends up better than Valve's upcoming short?

I mean, it literally says "THE MAYANN PROJECT" on the thumbnail, I'm not sure many people would jump to the conclusion that it's Valve's SFM.

Oh god please no.
It seems that everyone needs a friendly reminder:
Major update blog posts [I]usually[/I] (not always?) happen between Tuesday and Wednesday, and the update itself [I]usually[/I] drops on a Wednesday or Thursday [B]following[/B] those blog posts.
Based on this, I'd say it's not today and it's not this week.
Seriously, everyone needs to relax and enjoy the game the way it already is...
Valve, at the very least, deliver us from this quagmire of r/tf2-tier posts.

Right after the update hits we'll be getting 100+ posts an hour of worse quality

I've seen plenty of confused posts and videos where people think this is either the SFM video Valve spoke of or that it is the release of the Jungle/Pyro update. People from FacePunch know better, but the general public doesn't. They don't even get how Valve is handling community updates now.
I'm just going to say, knock it off with the shitposting.
This isn't fast threads and I'm sick of having to come in here as shit gets reported constantly.

may as well put "no shitposting" in the title of the thread, can guarantee not a lot of people will see your post later on, and it's only gonna get worse later on
Guys, we better stop with "something will happen today, i can feel it" type of posts, it never leads to anything good

Baffles me that there isn't a Facepunch ban category for that style of post given that bans used to be handed out for typos or improper capitalisation! But hey, anything to fuel that never ending hype engine!

Oohh, where is your optimism, man?
That SFM was excellent!
Because of it's high quality however, it just acted like an appetizer for the Pyro Update for me, making the wait even more difficult :v:
Sometimes, I wonder what the giant crowd lurking this thread thinks of the "main posters" here

I've almost gotta wonder if the TF Team was waiting for that to come out first to let them get credit and recognition for their version of the update first, maybe it'll even be mentioned in the update itself.
[QUOTE=ElderLolz;52465875]They'll probably go on reddit and make some sub-tweet-esque post like "Why are [B][I]some people[/I][/B] so pessimistic towards Valve and the future of TF2?"[/QUOTE]
Experience jades the aged. That being said, I would say I've transitioned into more of a neutral mindset than what was on display previously.
[QUOTE=MrJohn;52465818]Oohh, where is your optimism, man?[/QUOTE]
Its dead in the basement. Valve killed it a long time ago.
People seem to confuse pessimism for wanting things to fail. I myself don't want the update to be bad at all. I want to see my expectations beat and get proven wrong. I just don't think they will.

technically, "it might come out today" is still speculation.
honestly though i just want to see those sweet pyro changes. just how powerful will pyro be after this update?
b4nny mentioned that he would be okay with pyro becoming a new generalist. but the current generalists are scout, soldier, and demoman. is it possible for pyro to become as powerful as one of those while also having a high skill ceiling? at the moment, pyro has the 2nd lowest skill floor and the lowest skill ceiling of any of the classes. Is it possible to make pyro a skillful class? it'd take these, which i've said repeatedly:
1. fix fire (what you see = what hurts the enemy; make it more powerful/skillful [smaller hitboxes or make it hitscan] too)
2. fix afterburn (make it more panic-inducing [stronger/less ways to put it out, require skill])
3. fix airblast (explosive knockback [allow strafing through all of them, add to opposing momentum])
4. increase mobility (airblast jump + medic movespeed)
5. lessen combo emphasis (this is the main reason pyro has the lowest skill ceiling: his greatest damage output comes from a stunlock)
[editline]13th July 2017[/editline]
If Pyro becomes a new generalist worthy of full-time usage in 6s, I'd imagine him replacing one of the Scouts or maybe Pocket Soldier (airblast/shotgun to protect the Medic I guess). Honestly he'd see a greater use in 6s if his movespeed were increased to that of the Medic and/or he were given that Airblast Jump idea some of us have bounced around in here and elsewhere.
If the Afterburner (jet engine workshop flamethrower) were added and its airblast were turned into a speed boost, that could replace the Airblast Jump given to all the other Flamethrowers and seen as a possible alternative, though it might need more upsides depending on how powerful the Airblast Jump was.
