So I guess the rare hats get particles? (not mine)
Interesting. Is there any info on how to get unusual items? Rare drops? Through the supply crates? Or I guess it could also just be for the community and Valve items.
So I pretty much skipped the last 7 pages of this thread, can someone tell me why people are claiming the new spy knife is great? I mean the silent killing sounds good but don't you get stuck with a heavy, soldier or sniper disguise like 99% of the time?
Yeah, TF2items is very slow right now. There's another backpack checker at http://items.bfused.com/ but it hasn't been updated with the new stuff yet.
I see the crate description on the internet and it says that you can buy the key in the store, which kinda makes me think that they won't drop randomly. And apparently the crates have a list of stuff that might be in it. Is it the same list for all crates or is it random?

They're all the same at the moment, but they're also labeled series 1, so there will probably be different ones later.

There were some pretty epic chainstabs last night.
Basically if the spy is good at ambushing.. he can kill half the team before anyone has figured out what's going on. Probably not as effective on CP or whatever, but on payload it's pretty dramatic.

This was unintended. We'll see if we can re-implement the bug. (did I really just type that?)

I know you're always busy, but I have a tiny(HUGE) complaint/question.
I just want to know two things sir, who made the fix that removed alternative weapon switch taunts, and more importantly why?
I feel that this did nothing to affect gameplay, many players would agree with me( See: http://forums.steampowered.com/forum....php?t=1450353) that we all loved this mistaken feature of the game. To quote Not_a_Lie, "Crazy legs was one thing... BUT THIS?" Thank you for you patience.

Sincerly,
I noticed it wasn't working last night either. You just taunt with empty hands.
I'm assuming other people have been losing items during crafting failures?
Oops couldn't connect to the crafting server and bee tee dub those items you were trying to craft are now gone.

No, I am not really communist. Yes, it is weird that I use this name.

unless you are paying way too much attention to whats happening in the top right corner of your screen theres no tell for when 2 people behind you just died
Except that if you're killed with the Eternal Reward your death notice doesn't show up on the screen. There is literally no tell. That's kind of the point of it.
Hat: two foot high green dollar sign inlaid with diamonds and sparkling lights.
Shirt: green sparkly jersey that says "Valve Whore" (pistol)
gauntlets and pants: green and sparkly, gauntlets are elongated dollar signs. Pants have an L on each butt cheek. (replaces bat)
no effect unless worn together
Effect: wearer becomes immune to all damage, gun now does 9999 damage, cannot be modified by any other item or effect
Valve store cost:500$
I think the stores a good thing, I'll probably buy the soldier stuff.

PC Gamer: The leading theory in the office about this surprise was that TF2 would go free-to-play with item sales to support it – is going free something you considered? What are the chances of it happening in the future?
We’ve considered it, and it’s something we’d love to gather data from, but our main concern is that right now the cost of purchasing TF2 again is the main cost that cheaters pay when we catch them.
This just blew my mind. I know it shouldn't have, but it did. I suddenly want the price of TF2 back up to $30 or more...
Valve has a knack for doing that to me lately. When I first heard about the store I thought, "RAH RAH RAH RAGE! SELLOUTS! GRRRRR", and then GabeN said they did it to stop players from paying far more ridiculous prices for them on ebay. I thought, "....shit." Paying community content makers a slice is awesome too.
This should reduce idling somewhat and get some more revenue into TF2 so they can keep putting more awesome things into it. This store business isn't as sellout as I first imagined. >.>
But then again it is Paying for Power™. We'll see how it turns out. If the store turns TF2 into some horrible monstrosity, I think Valve would actually pull the plug on it.

Well I guess if you knew who the spy was you could frequently check the scoreboard for whenever he suddenly jumps 2 points?
The point is it would have been impracticle to even pay that much attention, and I like that.

Yeah, I figure that more monies = greater justification to the number-crunchers to keep them putting out content. Maybe even faster... or they could go back and fix the frame-rates on Upward.

Taking time to constantly check the scoreboard would probably leave you open to being stabbed.
I strongly encourage everyone to keep a spreadsheet inventory of all their vintage items for future potential value.
It doesn't take much.
This assumes you have at least 1 vintage of every slot weapon: a rule of thumb: only consider any crafting with at least 3 of one item, or 4 if it is involved in crafting the new weapons.
3 so that you can smelt one, keep one, and have one for trade.
4 so you can craft one for a new weapon, smelt one, keep one, and have one for trade.
I feel like a true Valve-whore now. I got a crate, so I bought a key, but because I wanted a random item for buying for more than €20, I also bought some duel mini games and name tags. My random item turns out to be a kritzkrieg and the crate held some white paint.
I've used one of the nametags to actually name my minigun "Sasha". I'm open for suggestions on how to use my other two nametags.
Some dudes were harassing me for buying the pyro set.
Way I see it, it's $20 bucks given to Valve in gratitude for all their awesome. Not just for the free TF2 updates, but just for being a great company in general. I couldn't get anyone to see past the "lol you paid $20 for pixels".
I hear you were killed by a flaregun twice last night.
so who's face do I cave in when I craft a refined metal with a cloak and dagger watch and it says failed because of no known blueprints instead of giving me my eternal reward?

I commented on this last night but no one really took notice. You can hit more than one person with the new sniper rifle, and it will jarate each of them. I killed two people in one shot lost night, it was fantastic. Delightful little gun.

The Ambassador had this behavior when it first came out, was fixed pretty quick. I haven't heard if this new gun is suppose to pass-through or not.

I died a whole lot more to rockets. And miniguns.
It's cool, I can take my licks.
Yes, but dieing by flaregun as pyro is pretty humiliating.

I just can't. It's against my moral code.
This is my backpack. If there's anything you want, I'll give it to you for that crate. I'll only give you one hat, though.
tf2items is slow and/or not working.
and i'm gonna hang on to it to see if a key randomdrops

Level 2 metal I believe.

Neat feature!

Refined Metal yes.
they'll be back when you die/reconnect/whatever
This all started when I made a random hat which ended up being the Heavy's bandana and is now called The Vintage Heavy Duty Rag.
Yes
Also wow these items will be easy to craft, but I don't know how much this "vintage" is going to matter -- good thing I have tokens to use up.

Reclaimed metal. Level 2 crafting item.

I used L2 metal with CnD and it said no known blueprint and ate the items.
Try going to the Mann Co store in game
