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.

[Aero_Rising]

I'm beginning to think you have to play for a certain amount in order to get consistent item finds i get them every hour or two after i have been online for a few hours i idle a lot though.

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.

I haven't got anything new yet. FML

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.

[giggsey]

In terms of new stuff, I've got the two new PDA's, and the Huntsman and the Razorback.

I have been playing quite a bit though, and idling for a while too :p

[Minifig]

Joined a server today, was in spectator mode and got the Razorback..

Couldn't be happier as Sniper is one of my main classes .. :)

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

Got another Blutsauger and another Flaregun.

All I want is Jarate and the Huntsman :(

[Clinteger]

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 :(

[xirtam]

3rd Day Playing and nothing so far :(

Good Job Valve :)

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.

[SMELTN]

man... got razorback today.. But still trying to get Huntsman!!

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

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).

[Minifig]

I got the dead ringer. :D

I'm excited as sin about it because it matches my play style with the spy -EXACTLY-.

This is based on what?

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.

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.

[giantpotato]

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.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

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.

[ViZioN]

Yeah I'd say it's probably just luck on your part. Someone I know so far has only had one unlock total and he's been putting the hours in. Seems the system just hates him :p
