And...

still no unlocks. I can't be arsed to play more than 3 or 4 hours per day, but I should've had at least had SOMETHING unlocked by now. Two nights and still nothing. Not even duplicates either.

Yeah sometimes its a joke. I played for hours yesterday and didn't receive any unlocks at all, then 5 minutes before I'm going to leave I unlock Jarate...

A lot of the servers haven't updated yet. Anyway, apparently you can "find" weapons now. I was playing 2 minutes ago and someone found the Force-A-Nature. Wow!

I had the samething I found a Force-A-Nature just before and I got Razorback for the sniper... But it seems to be taking ages to find anything :cry:

Some people were saying that you can just go spectator and get iteams like that, saying it was a time based thing, but Im not to sure :shiftyninja:

Yeah it definitely seems like a time based thing rather than skill. I think they're more assuming that if you're connected to a server you're playing, rather than idling, so they count that as playing time.

Was going to install this again after not having played it for a while. Think I'll give it a miss.

Sometimes I miss the days of QWTF, where achievements and unlocks weren't needed because the game could stand on it's own, but with saturation in the FPS market I suppose games need stuff like this to keep people playing nowadays.

This update has really made me upset..

I've been playing TF2 for almost 2 days now, and I've gotten only one new unlock, the ****ty dead ringer.

I've also found 2 backburners, 1 flare gun, 1 axtinguisher, 2 nataschas, 1 blutsauger, 1 kritzkrieg. Really makes it nice considering I had every single item unlocked from achievements already. No hats either :(

30+ hours sicne update of playtime and STILL NOTHING NEW.

Many other people have the same problem, this is completely ridiculous.

Valve fails for having us beta test its completely unfinished, nonsensical, and unfair system. Everytime I see someone else running around with a huntsman I come closer to uninstalling this crap.

I was getting tons of dupes but now like the past 13 hours nothing at all even.

That "idle madness" video was funny but sad at the same time. Valve had good intentions with this update but now, we have people leaving their computers running overnight while idling in an achievement_idle server. Anyway, here's a suggestion: play for an hour or two and take a break, then come back for another hour or two. I find that going on and off improves your chances of finding good items like the Jarate or Fancy Fedora (Spy hat).

Dead ringer can be extremely useful when used right. Look up a few youtube videos one how to use it properly.

Thanks for the tips about what class upgrades to choose and tips pages back in this thread! Thanks ViZioN, mwpeck, Minimoose, Anaron etc,

With this latest update, no need to be picky any more, items will come in time. Ah well, only got some spy watch so far and nothing else. Still running around with Pyro which seems to be working for me. Having fun anyway.

Picked this up from my community's forums.

At Toronto's Anime North, there was this:

:laugh:

:p

This is based on what?

Based on it happening to him once. I think the system is as they stated, no hidden secrets to having more chance. Although you might have a small chance each time you enter a server, so some people could try just joining loads of different servers and see if that works :) Here's for wishful thinking.

I played for about 3 hours today and picked up the cloak and dagger and jarate. I picked up the dead ringer a couple days ago. In total I've probably played for about 7 hours since the update, so I guess I'm pretty lucky. 3 items down, 3 more to go.

This is based on what?

My experience. It happened to me twice. Upon 5 minutes of re-joining a server after 1-2 hours of play, I found a Force-A-Nature and Fancy Fedora. The second time, I found a Jarate. It's probably luck, but who knows. Valve said that their system is buggy. Perhaps I could be right, for now.

Twice! :p True, it's most likely luck on my part but who knows (other than Valve). I'd gladly try it out but I simply don't have the time these days. Ah, hopefully Valve will fix the system by the time I can play again.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels A few months ago, Neowin reported that the UK was trialing a social media ban with 300 teenagers for six weeks, that testing has come to an end, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced that the country will ban under-16s from social media. Starmer said that this technology is making children unhappy and making it easier for bullies to harass and abuse them. He continued to talk about the addictive nature of social media, saying that it uses an infinite scroll designed to lock users in for hours. He said this interferes with children doing their homework, reading, playing with friends outside, and going to bed on time. Tackling the idea that nothing can be done about social media, Starmer said: The government’s action won’t stop at social media either, the PM said. It plans to take action on gaming services and livestreaming platforms. Right now, he said, strangers can contact any child unchecked. He said this wouldn’t happen in real life, and the government is going to stop it from happening online, too. The Labour government has overseen the introduction of the Online Safety Act, a big change to the internet which includes age verification on adult websites. This has led to a fair bit of backlash, but overall, the government is pushing ahead with these changes.

    • HONOR Robot Phone unveils first Cinematic Video at Shanghai International Film Festival by Steven Parker Global AI device ecosystem company HONOR announced on June 13 that its revolutionary HONOR Robot Phone made its professional imaging debut at the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF), demonstrating the result of its mobile videography capabilities for the first time. As the official mobile photography and videography partner of the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival, HONOR empowers this premier cinematic event with cutting-edge mobile imaging technology. Marking the global debut of the first cinematic video it captured, Robot Phone breaks down the boundaries between mobile imaging and professional filmmaking, ushering in a new paradigm for the deep integration of technology and cinematic art. In the video published on HONOR’s official channel (above), Robot Phone was used byELLEMEN to capture cinematic video portraits for the SIFF jury members. With its exceptional stability and cinema-grade imaging capabilities, the device redefines the art of portrait filmmaking, faithfully reproducing the rich tonal gradations and nuanced color transitions associated with film photography. The result is a new level of visual sophistication, creating high-end cinematic imagery that seamlessly blends atmosphere with narrative tension. The video released for the Robot Phone showcases the powerful stabilization capabilities of its built-in gimbal system, delivering exceptionally smooth handheld camera movement while preserving full image quality. By minimizing reliance on electronic image stabilization, the device effectively avoids the image cropping and quality loss typically associated with digital stabilization methods. Representing an innovative leap in form factor, the HONOR Robot Phone features the industry's smallest titanium alloy gimbal, delivering ultra-precision, extreme flexibility, and superior stability. Driven by high-performance motors, the gimbal rises dynamically, breaking free from the physical limitations of traditional camera modules. Combined with advanced AI algorithms that enable intelligent object tracking and various movements with stable shots, the device significantly simplifies video creation and reshapes both the equipment choices and creative habits of modern users. Notably, the Robot Phone will be the first product that features the results of HONOR's strategic technological partnership with ARRI, the world-renowned designer and manufacturer of professional camera technology for cinematic storytelling. From Cannes to Shanghai, the HONOR Robot Phone continues to lead the mobile imaging industry into an entirely new stage of development. Moving forward, HONOR will leverage cutting-edge AI and mobile imaging technologies to unlock new creative possibilities and extend cinematic standards for visual expression from the world of high-end filmmaking to the next generation of content creators.

    • I'll wait for the root cause analysis. Looks like it's HP, Lenova, and certain configurations that are askew, hardly "all of windows." Time will tell.
