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

We have absolutely no idea about what maintenance/pyroland servers do, it's pointless to try drawing conclusions. For all we know, it could just be a reserve category for the matchmaker to pull from if there is a sudden demand for servers for a gamemode, or something similar to that.

That said, these servers appearing isn't necessarily indicative of anything specific we should look forward to. It could be completely unrelated to the incoming update. It could be that their system for spooling up servers screwed up and created a bunch of maintenance servers for no reason. Could be that Jill is initiating a hostile takeover of the TF2 server system. All of these are equally likely. All of them.

Especially with maintenance servers. Weather it's this week or not, that I don't know. It seems like it will be.

Just got booted out of an NA valve server saying it was restarting. People on shitpost.tf are also saying that NA valve servers seem to be down // buggy

It's crunch time, but that still doesn't mean it's coming out this week. It's best to temper enthusiasm until we get official word how soontm it is.

I don't really think so. For it to be literally anything else the timing and specifically that odd "world 11" seems too special to me.

did the tough break and gun mettle passes have a trade delay?

I don't think the World 11 is supposed to mean anything to us. But seeing new maintenance servers up and the regular servers behaving weirdly does get my hopes up for a 'imminent' update.

Hoping we get an announcement/countdown tomorrow. I'm [I]beyond[/I] ready for this update to hit.

world 11

Lets do a small vote I guess.. Jungle update SFM short is going to be: vote Agree - 5minutes vote Disagree - 10minutes vote Zing - >10minutes

[QUOTE=Creeps;52425178]Lets do a small vote I guess.. Jungle update SFM short is going to be: vote Agree - 5minutes vote Disagree - 10minutes vote Zing - 15minutes[/QUOTE] FTFY Also it's gonna be 3 min long

[QUOTE=Creeps;52425178]Lets do a small vote I guess.. Jungle update SFM short is going to be: vote Agree - 5minutes vote Disagree - 10minutes vote Zing - >10minutes[/QUOTE] I thought DRiller said on the VNN interview that the short was going to be around 4-5 mins long?

Snip

I'm expecting the update to launch this week because the summer update ALWAYS launches just before or while I'm away on holiday and I'm going away on Thursday. Also the weird server stuff is slightly promising as well but It could easily be nothing.

Toweek's the week

[QUOTE=geel9;52425401]Toweek's the week[/QUOTE] Wait a minute. Have the valve news network emails been scrapped then? Because he was told they'd be released before the update.

I like scrolling down the 50 messages when I arrive at home on mus, and between all this messages I hope for one saying "blog post is up". It's a good experience

[QUOTE=C. Blades;52425571]Wait a minute. Have the valve news network emails been scrapped then? Because he was told they'd be released before the update.[/QUOTE] They could easily be answered once the blog post goes up. There's still time.

or they forgot about them because crunch time is a cruel mistress

I can already hear tarzan boy playing in the distance, so the update must be close

All i know is it might come out on Tuesday or Wednesday since I'll be at work that day. [B]ALTHOUGH[/B] i have an opening shift for once though, so that could null out that little curse I have

Tuesday is a major US holiday. No major update has shipped on a holiday when most US businesses are closed/have shortened hours.

[QUOTE=Upgrade;52425801]Tuesday is a major US holiday. No major update has shipped on a holiday when most US businesses are closed/have shortened hours.[/QUOTE] No, but Gun Mettle was released 2 days before July 4th, which is a major US holiday. There are no rules. Valve just does shit.

I'd say the update will come this week or better yet, next week given the patterns of Summer update releases. The update is really close. So close, it could potentially happen this week. But if Valve really wants to prevent a MyM 2.0, I could see them pushing it back to next week to finish polishing up the update.

I don't think 1 more week is going to be a huge difference.
