I know! Everyone notices it. They're like: "Hey, look at the Spy with the hat." or "Nice hat Anaron." It's nice to finally find a decent item. My friend who usually plays Spy is going to be so jealous. What's ironic is I found it while playing a Sniper. Yes, I know it has nothing to do with the items I find but it's still ironic. Especially since the theme of the this update is 'Spy vs. Sniper'. :p

I've played for about 8 hours and I've found another sandvich, 2 natascha's, The Sandman (woo!) and The Ambassador (What do I really want? Jarate and The Huntsman).

Last night on the server I was playing on, 3 people found hats (Fedora, Beanie and Mining Helmet), we had lots of time though, this is a screenshot of Pipeline after half an hour.

We eventually let them win, and then the server changed maps, never even getting to the second stage (the stage before the actual race).

So no uber pyro/heavy/demoman and medic pairs or spies tried rushing the sentries? :s

They were destroyed and rebuilt multiple times (both teams, they had a similar setup, me and a spy destroyed about 5-6 sentries)

But any rush lasted for a few seconds (I'm getting really good at taking down heavies as a pyro)

Thanks nightwolf!

Well if the perks are just based on play time / being in the game....lets say I started a server and just left it running all night with me in it...Would I technically wake up with new weapons, etc? :woot: (Flameshield: Enabled)

Probably, but I'm not too sure. It could be based on the number of players or your total playtime for the week. I played for another hour or so and I didn't get anything but I'm quite happy with the Jarate and Fancy Fedora (Spy hat).

You guys are lucky.....16 hour of play, 1 unlock which was just a crappy blutsauger.

Give it time. It's frustrating at first but you'll be happy with what you get later on. I'm sure you'll find one of the new items or perhaps even a hat.

Yeah but you think Valve would have programmed something in if you go over a certain time without an item out of just sheer pity.....

Hopefully they fix it next week and I can actually get the new unlocks and try to have fun as spy or sniper (both of which are some of my least played classes).

    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛 
    • At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
