Have you noticed that the Cloak and Dagger and the Dead Ringer are essentially worthless when it comes to crafting (and playing Spy)? I have, because I had 6 of each, and now that's all I keep getting.
You can't make scrap metal from the spy watches for some reason, only PDA2 weapon slot tokens. Sure, that's great for when the Engineer Update is released, but not when you're trying to make scrap metal or, hell, anything useful. You can't even combine the two watches with an ambassador to make scrap metal!
Why did Valve decide to make the spy watches useless for crafting?... [i]it's not like smelting together PDA slot weapons wouldn't give you metal[/i]. Even a sandwich can give you scrap metal, why shouldn't something that's made of metal do the same?
Hopefully they fix this. I cringe whenever I see that I've received a new weapon and it turns out to be a watch.
It's also fucked up for the sniper weapons. I tried crafting pissjar/gayzorback/huntsman and it wouldn't let me. It's because the sniper has no melee unlock, which blows since i can't get rid of these extra guns now.
When the Engineer Update comes out and all the new weapons are awesome PDAs, you'll be glad you had all those tokens. :smug:
Oh wait, we can't even make Engineer tokens without smelting three Engineer hats. :suicide:
I can't help but wonder who rated the original post 'disagree', and why. What, metal can't be smelted to make metal? Watches should be useless? Sure, why not.
Anyhow, the crafting system is also useless for creating weapons that you can't find otherwise. It's very likely that you'll find the item you're looking for, through achievements or a random drop, before you find four other weapons for the same class. Great system Valve has got going here. :v:
The only thing I can see it being useful for at this point in regards to weaponry is creating gunboats... if you do not already have them; however, there's a chance that you'll get a bugle instead so... yeah.
