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.

    • Sorry to be that guy but, Given Trump won again even after a failed first term it would appear attacking the other side is how to gain Government in America. Voters when it came down to it didn't give a s**t about those Democratic achievements and voted for Trump over an intelligent, qualified mixed race woman. We need to face up to this uncomfortable reality. There are more Americacan voters who support racism and christian bigotry along with defending and supporting pedophilia, adjudicated rapists, multiple time convicted felons etc than those who don't. Btw, that is how the world sees America now. Not that Trump voters care as they attempt to cocoon themselves in a white supremacy bubble.
    • That's not clickbait. Clickbait is headlines like, "You'll never guess what this person looks like now" for example. For goodness sake, take a look around the internet if you think this is clickbait. How do sites survive if people don't click through to articles? How many people in all honesty would have clicked this if it had your suggested headline? You and those upvoting your post won't be happy until the web is a couple of hundred websites all behind a paywall.
