TF2 update for 11/12/13 - Games

Via HLDS: [quote=Valve]- Added new series of Chemistry Sets - Added "Collector's" item quality. "Collector's" items are created by completing special Chemistry Sets. - Added a server cooldown period for Eternaween votes - Spooky Keys are now regular keys - Fixed seeing the fire texture on The Maniac's Manacles, PY-40 Incinibot, The Parasight, and The Foul Cowl in DirectX 8 - Fixed some Halloween spells not working during Eternaween[/quote] Rumor has it: - Item schema update: [url]https://github.com/SteamDatabase/SteamTracking/commit/8ee44132baa67ad3f14be6e9bb52fda24bcc6939[/url]

I wonder what those "Collector's" items will be. And will it apply to old chemistry set results?

...and these chemistry sets will end up dropping for barely a week again, won't they

[QUOTE=RandomGamer342;42843941]...and these chemistry sets will end up dropping for barely a week again, won't they[/QUOTE] collector is the new vintage

"Collector's" Quality? Interesting. Can't wait to see what it looks like ingame

So what are the resulting crafts from these chemistry sets? Are they hat stragifiers again? or weapons?

Neat, another quality, I wonder how it will work.

Oh man, item collectors are gonna go cuh-razeh

Let the speculation begin! Wonder if the old chemistry set items will update to the new quality - they should.

Self Made Spooky Keys are now regular. Just if anyone wondered.

[QUOTE=donhonk;42844084]Self Made Spooky Keys are now regular. Just if anyone wondered.[/QUOTE] Right there in the patch notes. Thanks though.

I hope the collector things have a function and aren't just differently-coloured text

Watch the "Collector's" quality be for Chemistry Sets that have stupidly-expensive recipes. That's my guess.

[QUOTE=Psychopath12;42844185]Watch the "Collector's" quality be for Chemistry Sets that have stupidly-expensive recipes. That's my guess.[/QUOTE] Also, now we have "Rare" chemistry sets.

[QUOTE=Psychopath12;42844185]Watch the "Collector's" quality be for Chemistry Sets that have stupidly-expensive recipes. That's my guess.[/QUOTE] Aren't the regular chem set recipes already expensive?

[QUOTE=Psychopath12;42844185]Watch the "Collector's" quality be for Chemistry Sets that have stupidly-expensive recipes. That's my guess.[/QUOTE] i don't think the game knows how to detect "expensive" items

[QUOTE=sergiuung;42844227]Aren't the regular chem set recipes already expensive?[/QUOTE] They used to be rational, but random, prices. But since they all got used and for some reason left the drop system, all that was left were ones that no one in their right mind would try to craft with.

This is intriguing. So will Strange Collector's items be made with Strangifiers?

[QUOTE=Hell-met;42844245]i don't think the game knows how to detect "expensive" items[/QUOTE] It can distinguish rare MvM loot drops, festives are easy to discern, and they can create a whitelist containing the stranges from the salvaged and select reserve crates.

What are the new chemistry sets?

New quality! Wonder how it's going to turn out.

the new quality for these is surely going to diminish the fact that the resulting item is probably less than the sum of its ingredients. "craft three strange machinimas and two saxxies to get a collector's edition ellis cap!"

checking around, so far I've seen these chem sets confirmed: Professor Specs Boston Boom-Bringer Outback Intellectual

oh shit, does this mean the old strange cosmetics will skyrocket in value?

You know I preferred it when valve didn't shit out updates every day. Updating servers is a fucking pain in the ass.

[QUOTE=Judas;42844852]oh shit, does this mean the old strange cosmetics will skyrocket in value?[/QUOTE] Probably not; the Collector's quality comes from its own chemistry set; chemistry sets still output strangifiers. Time will tell how the collector's ones work.
