They better fix that bug quick. Last night I spent nearly three hours mainly as a pyro and got zilch. (Though I did get quite a lot of HLSTATSX points in Pipeline. :p) And also that bug... it's funny seeing a solder holding a sniper rifle at first, but try discovering an enemy spy that managed to sneak past defenses and starts sniping at people from a corner that is usually inaccessible by the enemy team.

On the blog, it mentions that "most players having around 20 items in their inventory after a couple of weeks of play. If you're someone who plays a lot of TF2, you're going to get items a lot faster than that. "

Do they take your total playtime, or your playtime over the past two weeks? :blink:

I think it's time I took a break from this game. The last update can be frustrating. I clocked in about 5 hours of game play and I only found two items: the Bonk! energy drink and a Backburner. And that's the longest I played a game in a single sitting. Ugh!

Just sit in an 'achievement_idle' server over night, valve always force you to do things like this, so you might as well this time as well.

Been doing that for the past 3 hours (on top of my previous 11.2 hours) and the only thing I have gotten since the update has been the Blutsauger (only 1)....they seriously need to fix the system, I somehow doubt its still working properly if anyone has to play 10-15 hours to get a single item (that breaks there 20 items in a few weeks of normal play theory, doesn't it?)

Haven't received a damn thing in almost 20 hours of play time. Really really really don't understand how they thought this was a good idea, hell if they wanted to change the system then go for a kills = XP system or something that gives me some sort of target / progression. This system is beyond stupid. One of the few Valve decisions I do not approve of or support.

Playing 24hours a day it's "a find" per 16 hours. Playing 5 hours a day (which is still lots) it's a find per 3.5 hours.

Not sure I understand what your trying to say.....Valve has stated that going off the average gameplay time among all TF2 players, it should take a few weeks to get ALL 20 items. Lets say the average player plays 3-4 hours a day, and "a few weeks" = 3 weeks. That means it should take ~73.5 hours of gameplay to find all the weapons.

That is ~3.7 hours of gameplay to find an item.

I have played ~15 hours and have found 1 item.....thats roughly 4 times the amount of time I should have to play to find an item.

Now, clearly the system is broken because I have played for 15 hours and gotten 1 item when I should, based off how Valve wants the system to work, have 4 or more items by now.

Simply put they need to fix the system.

    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By PeterTHX · Posted

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
