Just in-case some of you haven't noticed yet, they extended the event to the 9th, so you are still able to get the Halloween hats if you do not have them yet (along with the other achievements). Beyond that, they have stated (on the Steam forums) that the Ghastly Gibus hat will still be obtainable after the event. The achievement will still be unlocked and you will be able to earn it the same way you currently can. All the other Halloween achievements however, will become locked until next year.

Yay! I don't have time tonight, so I will do it within the week.

Also, more time with Harvest. :D

Harvest is here to stay, Harvest_event (the one with the exploding pumpkins) is the one that will most likely disappear (from the official Valve list, I am sure servers who do not do official rotations will host it) after the event ends. :p

This game just really isn't fun for me any more. Played for an hour or so, the original fun I got out of it just isn't there, I think it's because of the item drops.

I've never gotten a single hat for this game that wasn't from achievements, yet every time I play 90% of the people playing with me have hats, and when I see it it's just a "I have something you don't have" feeling I get, but I can't do anything about it, to get an item I have to play the game for multiple hours a day to have any chance and playing the game just isn't fun any more.

The new hat you have to pay for is annoying me as well, because it's yet another hat I can't get (I have no money, the game is censored to the point of un-playability, etc.), and when playing the game I just see other people with it.

It sounds stupid, but the It's the only thing that stands out while playing the game to me (I've played these maps enough times that it's just getting repetitive)

I have 3 hats - two from the halloween achievements and the other from pre-ordering L4D2. It would've been nice to leave RNG behind me with WoW...

I feel your pain. I've still to get a hat drop from Valve also whereas people who I play online with have 5-6 hats. I get that it's random and it's the luck of the draw, but it's frustrating. I haven't (and won't) be pre-ordering L4D2, so I won't be getting that hat either :p It also sucks they haven't implemented the trading system yet.

They could try implementing a method where you're rewarded not just for ingame time but for other things like caps, kill streaks, etc. Although I suppose it could be abused.

What I do not get is the implemented the random system to prevent people from "farming" hats, and while you cannot truely farm hats, you have more chances of getting a hat the longer you are online. So they implemented a system that promotes people idling when they are not playing, as opposed to a system where people can get hats by accomplishing map objectives or something. Sure the latter would be more farmable than a RNG, but it would promote people to actually play the game more instead of just sitting in an idle server hoping to get lucky.

Yeah agreed. Well, ironically I actually got my first hat tonight! I got the Ye Old Bakers Boy hat for the scout. Valve must have heard me ;)

Hopefully you start getting hat drops soon too. Maybe now I'll get an avalanche of hats? Or maybe not...

the top hat, and one of the halloween masks i believe.

Those two are a bit different. I think basically everyone has the Gibus hat as you can get it quite easily. Same goes for the Halloween masks although I think they will be disappearing soon. The other hats, on the other hand aren't so easy to get :p

Yesterday I finally got the Out of the Park scout achievement. It was hilarious because the Halloween taunts are on, so I taunted 6-7 times behind a sniper before finally getting the bat taunt and he didn't even notice me until he got bonked.

To date I have YET to actually FIND a hat through playing.

The only hats I've gotten so far is BILL'S HAT from Left 4 Dead 2 preorder, and The Ghastly Gibus, gotten from dominating someone WITH the hat.

I don't worry, i'm in the same boat as you. But it's ok though, I have about 9 Blutsaugers, 6 Bonk Drinks etc. etc...

    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By PeterTHX · Posted

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
