- Changes to the UI
- Changes to match making
- Adding content to MVM
- Fixing competitive and making it viable
- Final comic chapter
- Additional Misc slots
- Fixing clipping hats and particle effects
- New game mode or adding another map to underplayed game-types like medieval and Special Delivery.
- Fixing auto balance in casual
- Promoting community servers instead of hiding them.
- Promoting workshop/community made maps.
Some of the balance notes and the flamethrower changes are probably the most important.
But this is not different than many of the CS:GO campaigns. New loot box, new stickers/skins.
I refuse to believe Valve has been testing balance changes for 1-2 years on a pyro weapon pack.
They have left a very active player base to die while they promote the shit out of Dota2. This long between updates should lay the foundation to keep this game popular and active for the next 10 years.
Instead right now it might as well be the original medic update with extra skins.
- they just did that last year...
- expected to be coming this update
- nobody plays MvM and the last few updates to the mode didn't do anything to improve that. It's a dead mode and not worth their time or effort to continue development
- I'm not really sure what you even mean here, but weapon balance should help
- those comics are entirely unrelated to updates and shouldn't be expected as part of any major update. They specifically said they weren't going to be attached to any update, why would you believe this time would be different?
- that would destroy the game completely. It's not technically possible to do, and will never be. There are hard limits to the engine
- has never been part of any major update and is handled in random bug fixes
- nobody plays those modes and it's not worth the effort when KotH, CP and CTF are much more popular modes
- they've been making tweaks to this in regular patches
- community servers were junk. Sorry. They were. Ads everywhere, limited map rotations, abusive moderators, there's a reason Valve hides them. Maybe you found a community of buddies, but I didn't. Most players didn't. Before the update to them, people were clamoring for Valve to do something about the abuse, ads and limited map selection. So they did.
- ??? Did you read day 1 of the update ???
You have a dozen man team, and with just the content announced so far, they have made an update larger than any update that's come out in years.
Have some actual, realistic expectations. 75% of your list shouldn't have ever been expected to be in this update. This was a pyro weapon, balance and map update. That is what it was announced as last year.
You have a misunderstanding of what this update was always planned to be.
this update has 3 times as much content as the Medic update and we still have one day left.
Bingo.
Did it really take them a year of testing to figure out nobody was using the YER and Mantreads or that the Dead Ringer needed to be nerfed again?
TF2 has never been balanced like this. Have you even paid attention to any update that's ever been released?? Major updates are always when balance changes happen, they very, very, very rarely happen outside of them. In the entire history of the game.
Come on
