The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
But theres more of them, so they represent a bigger portion of the total items available.
that doesn't necessarily mean hats drop more often
it increases the chances when something does drop
for all we know, weapons and hats are on a completely different table with different chances of dropping
I obviously don't know, but considering I've had well over 100 weapons drop and not a single hat, I suspect this is the case or something very similar
and if the drop rate for hats is separate from weapons, then there's no reason they would necessarily drop more often just because there are more varieties available
it's a faulty assumption

You have a .5% of a hat drop every minute.

so theoretically if i play for, what, 200 minutes i'll get a hat?

If you play for an infinite amount of time, you will eventually get a hat, however, there is no limit to the amount of time you might not get a hat for.

A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.

actually it's impossible to have a .5% chance of getting one every minute because the game rolls for new items about once every three hours
the way it REALLY works is that every time you have an item drop you have a .5% chance for it to be a specific hat

Research using game data shows the rate of finding items to be roughly 0.60 items per player hour - a 60% chance to find an item for an hour played, giving a 1% chance of a weapon drop for each minute played. The average time for getting a single item is 1h 40min (including duplicates). Since weapons are granted via a random number generator, experience may vary. Hats have a roughly 0.5% chance to drop for every minute of game-time.

because until like a few hours ago it was the only hat
it's entirely possible it dropped for you after the update
Take your double jump back and give me my goddamn health. I am dying at an unprecedented rate with the Sandman equipped.

The engineer may be a fantastic class but his hat selection is no where near as great as the others
Druhim you have made them into an offensive monster
worst hat ever
you mad?
no, but I think i'll delete it
I can't even tell i'm wearing it, so its not really a hat
don't equip sandman then?
Now you gotta stay behind the main push and help your dudes kill their dudes.
Sandman Scouts on their own are asking for it.
Also with this new update, the chances of getting a hat have increased, so hopefully a second hat soon.

which is about as reliable as just making it up

On average thats what will happen
but there's absolutely no guarantee thats what will happen
because I have no idea what the original source for that info is
