:woot: a hat dropping is rare as it is, twice in a week thats lucky!

According to this 5.42% TF2 players have it

Ooh. Then I may try and trade my second one for another hat or perhaps the new Heavy minigun :)

No kidding.....I have have had 2-3 hat drops since the drop system was added......that's including back when they had no drop cap and you could idle as long as you wanted for drops. Twice in one week is more than I have had in months worth of drops. Put it this way, I have crafted more hats than I have gotten through the drop system, and I have only crafted about 4-5 hats.

For that hat you could probably take 2-3 lvl 3 metals, crafting the new minigun takes only 2x lvl 2 metal + natasha, not worth it imho :D I have crafted that minigun already, it's good damage-wise but basically you can't move while shooting, more useful in defensive situations I think.

An item is only worth what the trader wants for it.

If all he wants is the new minigun for that hat, then it is completely worth it to him.

Don't let others set the price for items, decide what you want for what you have and use that as your price guide. It's the reason I wouldn't trade any of my equipped hats unless I got significantly more than others think they are worth, because if I could then I could easily trade for those same hats and have more left over. It's also the same reason I would only trade hats 1 for 1, no matter what hat it is I am trading and what hat it is I want.

Didn't you notice the big IMHO :D I just pointed out that he could get more for the hat - new minigun - 12 items + natasha, 3 scrap metal - 54 items :p

I know, I'm just pointing out to him that if that's all he wants for the hat, then that's exactly what that hat is worth to him.

So, Medics don't charge ubers anymore because of the other methods of healing. That is annoying.

I unboxed a second Winter Crate. Got the Fists of Steel, AGAIN. Traded them and a Reclaimed for The Milkman. So happy :D

The medic crossbow is stupid and it's making it even harder to get healed. Nice trade with the Milkman :)

2 hats is more than I've ever received from the random drop system, and the one hat I did get was due to a server glitch (everybody on the server was getting items every time they died)

It's one of the things that started me idling, and even then I've only gotten about 3-4 drop hats (the rest were crafted)

I've 210+ hrs playing TF2 and it's the 2nd hat I've got, the first one was Stainless Pot.

I have a total of ~1500 hours, 800 just from idling after the drop system was implemented....I have gotten 2 random drop hats, a Vintage Tyrolean and a Hotrod. I have crafted a Batters Helmet, Brigand helm, Respectless Rubber Glove, Stainless Steel Pot and a Safe n Sound.

Luckily, I have gotten my favorite hats for all my usual classes so I don't care too much about getting more (traded the Brigand Helm for a Tossle cap, I wear that as scout, the rubber glove as pyro and the pot as soldier).

    • 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.
