Next TF2 update soon? Or lie.

I keep hearing in game from a group I play with that a new patch is going out in the next two weeks or so, heaviliy updated for scout. I checked the blog but don't see anything.

Shens?

[Athas]

Shenanigans, tomfoolery, high jinks and monkeyshines.

[Pikarya]

Thats what I thought >.>, checked like 4 sources on RSS/blogs and google but nothing so yeah.

Screw Scout updates, when the fuck are they going to give Soldier some stuff? DUAL-WIELDING 100% CRIT ROCKET LAUNCHERS + UBER WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

[Thulius]

Well it's been about a month and a half since they confirmed that the scout would be the next class updated and what, 5 months since the heavy update? I wouldn't be surprised if we did see the scout update within the next few weeks, but I'm pretty sure a date hasn't been officially set.

[Kiro]

I wonder what they're going to do to Scout. It's a pretty decent class already.

Need some more engie updates in this bitch, the dispenser/porter updates were hot, but I want some Engie Achievements. Dual Wielding wrenches for 400% build time increases. Need like 5 SGs per engie too, would be totally balanced.

[Kiro]

They need to add some TFC Engineer updates to the TF2 Engineer. Weren't we able to rotate our sentry guns remotely to face a different direction in TFC? There was some other stuff too, can't remember though.

[Dezzimal]

The reaction time on a level 3 is pretty amazing for any direction, even directly behind.

^ this, get two engies, two dispensers right behind them and have them spam repairs on the sentrys. Possibly a pyro to keep any spys away within the area.

Bumping this instead of starting a new post.

Scout achievements and unlocks are in-progress with art and balancing.
Natascha will get a damage/slow buff/fix in the next day or so.
Non-gameplay-related fixes will occur in a week.
Still no date on the Scout pack, but it is implied that it is longer than a week away.
Other various fixes/updates as well.

For those who wanted a proper intro to the meet the heavy, they added it to their video section on their site. The original opened as a tech demo, but this has a proper intro. Sadly the one for download on steam is still the original.

New bat will be 200% bonkified. :<

Can't wait to see what the achievements will include. "MAKE A HEAVY SPIN ROUND AND ROUND AND SMACK HIM DOWN WITH THE BAT 50 TIMES".

[Shadowhusky]

Eat it fatty. Kill 50 heavies with your bat. :[

[Lebzile]

Hm.

Runnin' Circles Round Ya. Obtain and Capture enemy intelligence in less then 1 minute.

rite?

Lil Slugger: Deals damage according to the enemy's HP. Greater the HP, more damage it deals. For example--a Heavy with full health will take about 100 HP of damage on a crit-Slugger. A non-crit Slugger will deal around 65.

Could be true, I think we'll find out within the next week or two!

[Kiro]

Damn, that'd be a bit much. That much speed with that much damage? The thing is fast too.

[Pikarya]

Highly doubt the above ^. I've heard everything from a "Stopwatch" side, to even new shoes lol. But yeah those stats sound a little ridiculous, unless there is some type of hidden penalty like 0% chance of crit.

[Kiro]

New shoes, lmfao. That'd be kinda cool I guess. Maybe add a bigger delay time between jumps, so you don't have to use it almost immediately after your first jump for the double-jump to kick in. @_@

[Dezzimal]

current bat hits for like 50 a swing already.

[Arvin]

I wish they would just come out with all the updates a little faster. I've lost interest between each update but I love this game so much, lol.
