Make Tf2 great again

So, apparently, Valve got their shit together again:
teamfortress.com/post.php?id=22797

Honestly, if they do indeed fix the new casual gamemode so you can pick which map to play, this'll be the greatest update the game has received yet. We got a very decent matchmaking system, a gamemode out of beta, three new maps, tons of balance changes, a new comic and a lot of small things, like the new HUDs.
Heck, they even announced new weapons are incoming along with a huge rework of 2 classes.
Seems like valve is back on track again.
Did they really had to increase the spy's speed?

I'm happy to see this. Casual felt way too much like a competitive mode. It's good to know Valve is at least listening a little bit.

Dead game.

>le tf2 is ded meme

>regularly the 3rd most players on Steam
>more than GTA 5
>more than literally every game on Steam besides DOTA 2 and CSGO
>dead

You losing interest in something doesn't make it dead, user.

gta5 is $60 and isnt steamworks, retail and rockstar social copies arent tracked by steam

get fucked

The one time Valve makes their own content for TF2 since god knows when and they fuck it up. They would have been better off outsourcing this to the community to make it for them.

Valve have really fucked it over

>title
That actually got me thinking. What with Trump being a shoe-in, he probably did scare Valve into actually doing work again when they realized that once elected he'd rip their asses apart for false advertising.

>i-it's just cuz it's free!!

Let me know when they start doing something about rampant offclassing in ranked.

>We hear you
Who did they hear?
How do I make them give a shit about Dota 2 workshop tools again?

The really need to advertise the game more and sponsor some tournaments if they want TF2 to take off.

>still have to fucking untick everything when wanting a specific gamemode
>still 20 mins queues broken system
>implying it's fixed
"The queue times you are currently experiencing are a bug, not a feature", literally confirms their system is broken, and it has been like that forever with MvM, and if they couldn't fix it in years, they won't be fixing it any time soon.

>"The queue times you are currently experiencing are a bug, not a feature"

THAT'S FUNNY VALVE
BECAUSE WE WERE ALL PRETTY SURE THE RIGHTEOUS BISON HITTING MULTIPLE TIMES WAS A FEATURE, NOT A BUG
I WAS PRETTY DAMN SURE THERE WAS AN INGAME TIP SAYING AS MUCH
BUT NO I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU LET A """""BUG""""" STAY IN THE GAME FOR 5 YEARS
THAT'S FINE

did you really just fucking fall for that

why the fuck is valve wanting to make this another cs in the last updates?

CS doesn't make you queue twenty minutes for a casual game. No idea why they fucked up quickplay, no-one, literally no-one was called for 24-man match-making with leave penalties and no map choices.

TF2 is run by retards who don't play the game and don't have a clue about game design.

> reading this whole thing in mike's voice

because they can afford to make even more money with minimal effort and any complaints will be drowned out by the furries and bronies and all of the other garbage players that still populate the game paying pretty pennies for ebin digital swag
Between Overwatch and CSGO, I don't see any reason to still play TF2

I'M ANGRY GOOTECKS
I'M DAMN ANGRY

>don't see any reason to still play TF2
fun ?

if you still have less than 2000 hours sure

Not exactly sure, but there was a discussion on Steam with a shit load of replies regarding fixing Casual like the day the update dropped.

>TF2 is run by retards who don't play the game and don't have a clue about game design.

seeing that righteous bison nerf confirms this since according to whoever made those patch notes the bisons ability to hit someone multiple times is a bug and not intented feature

So what do the levels in casual actually do? Do you just get a badge or some shit?

is it just me or is valve fucking up more and more every update?

nothing

it's a pointless feature for people who like watching bars fill up

yes, but it replaced normal mod, so you have no choice but to play

They've been fucking up in general more and more with every year
since the cosmetics boom they've been declining extremely rapidly in quality control

Did you read the post, idiot?
>First, and most important, queue times. The queue times you are currently experiencing are a bug, not a feature. It is something we are actively working to correct. Several backend issues appeared post-launch that culminated in long wait times. Removing this issue is our highest priority right now.
They said they haven't fixed it and that they are are working on it

This update unironically made me unistall TF2 definitely. I waited to see how Valve would fix the situation but they just made it worse.
I'm questioning if I should sell my "valuable" items on the market as well, so I can buy an actual videogame.

can you blame them though? most fucktards will buy all those new hats and taunts no matter how shit the game is, they are making millions of this, so they keep making them

>the butthurt
not even a week passed since they saw the shitstorm it made, they are still fixing it you whiny fuck

I haven't played TF2 in several months, what's wrong with the update?

Can I blame them for making easy money as a business? No not really.
Can I blame them for enabling this much cancer in the process and being generally shitty in practice? Hell yes
You can't blame the producer without also blaming the consumer for their success, but when the producer goes from trusted to utterly scummy there's a line to be drawn.

Since I love to surf pubs, I thought volvo killed tf2 for me with this update. Thanks Gaben. Thank you so fucking much

everything
and the ones before it weren't great either

oh boy
>removed normal mod
>takes 30 mins to find match
>penalty if you exit the match, but if people leave anyways you need to leave too because you are just getting spawncamped for 10 mins
>can't choose map
>can't choose server
>only "normal" games are in community servers
>>>>>>people are defending it
did i miss something?

But they are fixing it.
Also show us your items you fag

you realize they're fixing all of that, and you can still pick servers

i guess its really easy to complain about anything

>So, apparently, Valve got their shit together again:
Yea, okay. This is the same fucking company that fucked up their servers and gave out everyone's personal info.

you can choose community servers, not valve servers

also they only decided to fix this after everyone lost their shit and muselk made a video on it instand of using common fucking sense, which is what im at least butthurt about

The problem is that TF2 is older and far less popular than csgo and dota so no-one at valve gives a shit about it other than a few people who are crap at making games.

yeah choose between all those trade servers, orange, x10, surf, achievement, p2win mods etc. what if you just want a normal game of tf2?

There are plenty of servers like that. Skial is just one example.

Name a company who hasnt done this

My company

Serious question here, how do I find them (normal servers)? Is there a tag I can filter by?

no, you just fucking read the server names

you know, that thing you do when you wanna decipher words in english

Pass time is fucking shit, the last new weapons they added were dogshit and the "balance" involved nerfing the pompsons damage (because that was totally the problem) nerfing the bison (totally a huge probelm), this update is fucking shit.

I really want regular pub servers back. I know the le valve server meme xDDD is a thing, but it's hard to find a community server that just has regular stock map rotations. Waiting for a casual game takes too long.

I don't even play Spy unless its called for but its terribly awkward to have to chase after an enemy who doesn't know you're there. I feel like the buff was fine.

Youre welcome
-Overwatch Master Race player
if it wasnt for OW Valve wouldnt give a shit about your poor little game

What's wrong with casual after they add the improvements that they've told us about?

Casual mode will be a improved version of pubs after the patchs, as they intended on fist place.

You don't have to worry about the ranking system, it's just there to cater autist. The long queue times are just a bug that will be fixed soon, and things like votekick, map selection and so will be in again in in a heartbeat, as they say in the patch notes.

So what wil we get? A pub where the people actually plays the objective because of the pointless ranking system and without team scrambling.
Literally an upgrade of quickplay servers.

>gta5 is $60
>this is evidence tf2 is dead

It's competitve mode without the ranking

And how's that bad?

Who decided that Heavy needed rampup on damage and accuracy when firing? Why was this considered acceptable in the first place???

Calling it now, if Heavy wins the war, a big part of his update will be reverting this

If heavy wins the war, the big part will be new weapons for him.
Shut the fuck up.

>Heavy
>winning against the brony autism favorite

>heavy 48%
>pyro 52%

People want to play fun, non penalty vanilla TF2 on deicated valve servers, not bizzaro Overwatch without ranking.

And no, playing on the furry trade community servers is not the same as Valve servers.

They could start by reverting the nerfs that make 90% of all his current weapons useless

>Valve introduces a mechanic that makes heavy one of the worst classes in the game
>nerfs most of his unlocks into the ground
>their "fix" for this is to toss more weapons at the community instead of addressing these problems
I hope you're being ironic right now

Fireman guy is my favorite. I always like burning people with furfag avatars or ponies.

I wouldn't be that mad if Pyro wins because he really needs an overhaul as well, even if heavy needs it more.

Plus I consider Pyro more fun to play than Heavy

>mfw in 1 hour i have got to play 1 match

how is it even remotely possible to fuck up matchmaking this bad

Thank god. The penalties were complete bullshit, but the overall idea of casual mode is great. People are not all going one class, focusing on the objective, i even had a f2p pyro spychecking my buildings for an entire game.

>2016
>People would rather play on valve servers than community dedicated servers

>valve releases desperate attempt to get people to come back
>TF2 IS BACK GUYS
>update is completely broken as fuck, 20 minute queues for casual

be honest: did valve forget how to make video games?

>implying that all of the good community servers didn't die when valve servers were added to quickplay

This is the first time I've heard the tf2 team actually communicate with its audience since the game went fucking f2p.

>each halloween update includes a regular version of the event's halloween themed maps so you can play them all year long

>last year's update included halloween versions of moonshine, millstone and sunshine without including their default versions

>millstone and moonshine's layouts are still exclusive to halloween

Reminder
frompyrowithlove.com/

Most likely the last time too. I hope it was everything you hoped it was.

>Patch ships out with bugs
>Fixed within several days
>"WHY CAN'T VOLVO STOP FUCKING UP????"

More like why don't people have the cranial capacity to see when something is clearly broken, and how it's taken less than a week to be addressed and then fixed.

It's painfully clear that not being able to pick maps was a mistake that's being fixed also within the week, but almost none of this matters because it all just applies to casual quick play and can be 1000000% ignored by just joining a server.

I know people have literally literally nothing better to do than sit around and complain about video games, but this sort of shit is just common sense.

I'm am sooprised heavy even made it that high up

Every update for a while has been trying to kill those servers, and they've been dying in the boatloads, the only real option left is something like Skial.

They've also been killing the modding scene with shit like sv_pure 0 just so people dont mod out their ugly ass skins.

>Patch ships out with bugs
>Sup Forums thinks this is acceptable

>what is beta testing

>and how it's taken less than a week to be adressed and then fixed

Yet all the characters are unbalanced as all hell and every aspect of the update is flawed

Did you even see the blogpost in the OP? How penalties are going to be removed?

Sorry, how they are ALREADY REMOVED.

I dont think tf2 ever actually fixes its shit though.

People just stop playing it and the servers actually can handle the smaller load. The item server dying is pretty much a staple of every update.

Competitive is shit
Also
>F2P allowed

You know matchmaking had fucking 11 public stress tests and it still ended up like this

What are your predictions for the heavy/Pyro updates at the end of the war, Sup Forums?

They'll fix it, retard. Didn't you read the post?

Wow, Valve is fixing what makes the game literally UNPLAYABLE

And the shit casual and competitive gamemodes, all the other bugs and pointless nerfs/buffs are never going to be adressed

War updates have always been extremely close, but I'm guessing the pyro

I don't have autism so I can wait a week for broken thing to be fixed without throwing a fit.

>Yeah bro, Volvo promised us this time!

No, I'm asking for predictions on what the winners update will BE

Also, when does the war end?

You can ignore the casual play button and use the server finder, like the game has always been and always will be.

since all the furries and other degenerates play pyro, he will probably win

People with half a brain has already realized the Pyro needs it more, as the class is completely fucked. A group of Pyro players even made a Page for Valve: frompyrowithlove.com/

But again, this is tf2. Heavy will win because "muh hoovy need a new sandvich LOL"

>Click on community servers

>It's all trade and x10 servers with MLP plugins and the vanilla one is in fucking Brazil

Actually they are alreay on it. THey've already released a patch, and for the first time the devs are actually telling us what they are doing.
So,yeah...

Hey, I'm not a degenerate and I like playing pyro. He's such an underrated support class, everyone just w+m1s at the enemy without realizing what a powerhouse he is at keeping your fellow teammates safe and healthy.

I just want an update that boosts his flanking/movement options, given that he IS supposed to be an "offensive" class, after all

Memes aside, why do people dislike SKIAL servers?
