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:

: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.

    • I totally disagree. Very little good comes out of governments all around the world manipulating everything they can and usually the people are not the benefactors. What you say about being restricted and expensive sounds almost like the arguments against firearms and why banning them will protect people as if making something illegal somehow will prevent the criminals from having and using them. AI being far less mainstream could simply mean the average person will not benefit, but "big brother" and the corporations will benefit, which is almost for sure NOT a good thing.

    • "connect with audiences" is the most obvious corporate speak you can think of. I only bought Need for Speed from EA because it was the only racing game with cops in existence and I dig that. Now that they killed off NFS franchise, I have nothing to spend money on. EA is officially dead for me, just like Ubisoft which I've been boycotting for some 20 years now...
