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?)

Well, after spending the night in a Idle map server, i have now received a good amount of unlocks. I have the Huntsman, 2 ambas, cloak n dagger, and demoman mask. I got a few other weps I alread had as well. Now for just a few more. I left it on the same server while at work, so when I get home I will hopefull have them all lol.

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.

    • Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes by Usama Jawad Visual Studio 2026 recently netted a powerful feature that finally allows developers to review Git Pull Requests (PRs) directly in the integrated development environment (IDE), without needing to switch to the browser. However, that's not all that Microsoft introduced in the latest version, as it also offered a useful way to customize the IDE to their heart's content. Although Visual Studio 2026 already provides lots of stock themes based on Fluent Design principles, Microsoft understands that people still want to customize them further according to their preferences. The IDE now offers a new configuration page for themes under Tools > Options > Environment > Visual Experience > Theme colors. This allows you to set hex color codes for accent colors, hover states, and more, and apply them without requiring a restart. The Redmond tech giant further says that: Microsoft is also offering granular color tokens that allow you to customize various UX elements like the tab header without impacting the rest of the shell chrome. Your themes are also stored in JSON format in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\18.0_xxxxxxxx\ColorThemes, which basically enables you to share it with others or override existing themes. This is a major improvement in terms of the user experience powering these customization capabilities. This is because extensions were required to replace the theme, and it was not very easy to make minor adjustments. This theme configuration UX solves this problem and is available in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, available here.
