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).

    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
