    Are hat drops rare? All I ever get are weapons, it seems.

    Though I did get the dead ringer the other night. (Finally)

    Since the item drop system came out, I've gotten two hats from random drops. One of the others I put together from weapon drops, and the other I built out of Camera Bears when they went from being an "uncommon accessory" to full hats.

    I can only imagine how many hats someone would have if they could see the future. Keeping every item until this recent 2 items = 1 scrap recipe. Do you remember how many items people deleted before crafting existed because backpacks just got clogged? Or all those people who crafted unnecessary recipes like class/slot tokens to try them out? We could have been swimming in hats.

    I think I've gotten 5 hat drops.

    3 of them have been the Engineer non-hat. It is getting annoying.

    Are you a bald texan? Or perhaps a baldie majoring in engineering?

    The game wants you to have that hat. For some purpose...

    I'm not even close to those things. I barely even play Engineer. Maybe it wants me to. But if it wanted me to, it would give me a cooler hat.

    well if texas ten gallon is pistol engi, we have to figure out what the other hats are

    i would hazard a guess that the bald engineer is the kind that does hoedowns

    non

    stop

    preferably on top of his sentry or dispenser

    Yes, starting out with spy is easy, but as soon as you get a few chain kills in, the other team goes all (mostly) pyro...it's at that point sticking with it that becomes harder.

    I agree, I've gotten very complacent about spies since taking soldier as my main compared to times past.

    But there are still a couple of spies I always make a note of when on the other team, and a few more coming up on my radar.

    You sound like me. Soldier has become my backbone lately. For some reason I love to charge the banner.

    banner is the best because you become a mobile mini crit dispenser.

    Endaro a couple of weeks ago I went on a hat crafting spree like yours but I didn't stop until I was down to my Helm and Tyrolean and no way was I gonna use one of those with the scout hat I've been sporting so gotta get another hat before I can continue.

    BLOG UPDATE!
    Listen!
    June 30, 2010 - TF2 Team

    Do you hear that? That ominous, otherworldly silence? That's what we in the game biz call the calm before a storm. And keep listening... do you hear that distant rumble? We call that thunder. It happens during a storm whenever it's not quiet.

    All of these portents can only mean one thing: Something big is happening. The fact that everybody else on the team keeps telling me that it's only weather, and that weather can't talk to you, tells me they're all in on it. (And possibly not human? More on this later.)

    Perhaps it's the upcoming Polycount Pack update making the hair on the back of my neck stand up, and the Australia-shaped hair on my back matte itself back down, since it means we'll be shipping the best of the amazing Polycount Contest entries. Be glad you're not one of us, forced to order that list of magnificent items into some kind of hierarchy. Maybe we'll just announce they've all won first place.

    tf2_wiki.jpg

    Or maybe it's the release of the Official TF2 Wiki that's made weather choose me as its emissary on Earth. Developed by the administrators of the unofficial TF2 wiki, it's a perfect place to find out everything you ever wanted to know about TF2, but were too afraid to type into Google. Head over there and see if you can help them out. If you're a useful enough contributor, the weather might talk to you too. It might even point out which of the people on your team aren't real humans. Then we could compare notes.

    Or maybe, just maybe, it's something else entirely.

    The Polycount entries leave me in despair for the fate of my dinky little meat cleaver. Even setting aside the ones that are too silly to fit the game's themes (there is such a thing), you pretty much have a year's worth of community updates there.

    I am assuming they're waiting for the Polycount contest to end so that they can release a lot of different items at once with the Engineer update, thus preventing Engineer spam.




    The reason I have come to this conclusion is for my own sanity's sake, and the safety of every member of the TF2 live team from the combination my overstuffed piggy bank, dusty telephone and extra-long list of capable assassins and psychopaths.

    Is it suddenly good data because Valve absorbed it?
