Robin Walker: "The random drop system is only good for some types of things" - Games

[QUOTE=Geneva;16192847]i dont even get drops anymore, even though i need a flaregun. also wheres my trading >:([/QUOTE] when the trade system is up and running you are going to get a flare gun for a übersaw edit: you bork my automerge D:

[QUOTE=MendozaMan;16193211]Hey smart pants, did you read all the way through? they are not trying to combine fun with competition, they are trying to SEPARATE them to appeal to both fanbases. So the fun aspect won't be ruined, you can play competitive modes if you choose them.[/QUOTE] Like I said, I hope they're going to keep to that philosophy.

As long as I can block FaN's until it receives some sort of fix that fixes the 116 damage in 1 point-blank shot, I'm fine.

[QUOTE=John Locke;16191087]I don't mind the new system. It makes players focused on playing the damn game and not achievement whoring.[/QUOTE] Only people who have all the items like it. I have no hats, and i had no items after 60 hours of play before milestones got re-introduced. Just because you got your shit, doesn't mean the system works.

Still pissed about how all the friends I've recently introduced to the game have like 2 hats each and I have what, 0 over a ridiculous amount of hours

I got the Trophy Belt. You can't see it :v:

I want the fedora so badly... Imma play some pyro dodgeball :v: (well, actually dodgerocket...)

Since they've confirmed they're making a "King of the hill" Game mode, and a new "mode" for dropping weapons like said in the OP, maybe in KOTH whichever team wins gets a random drop?

I think that the standard drop system with weapons should be maintained, because personally, I like having a level 0 ambassador. The level-deciding system should be tweaked so that you won't have 5 level 8 kritzkriegs. There should, of course, be another system to supplement this drop rate. They should have a few different kinds of hats; uncommon, rare, and HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET THIS!!! The uncommon ones would have a drop rate of about 1-1.5 times the existing hats, the rare ones would be .5 times that chance and the HTHDYGT hats (yes, an acronym) hats would have .1 (yes, one tenth) the chance of the uncommon hats' drop rate. There would probably be only 1 or 2 people that get the HTHDYGT hats every half year or so, and only the idlers/hardcores at that, but this system would make people have something to boast about while still maintaining the HTHDYGT attitude for the lucky few. I just thought of this, a system that bases drops off of tf2 stats in addition to the playing time drop rate. This would give hardcore players what they want while still making new players learn how to go without.

I got the mining light, but I still think that hats need a slightly higher drop rate And you should get items only when you get at least one kill every 10 minutes or something so that you can't be idle

[QUOTE=Vinh255;16191224]Yeah, it makes them join idle servers instead...[/QUOTE] Those people would have already been in achievment servers either way. [editline]03:16PM[/editline] And i think the drop rate should remain

[QUOTE=Evil_Toaster;16192834]I have two.[/QUOTE] Let me guess, two of the ones noone wants?

[QUOTE=Red Engineer;16206256]Let me guess, two of the ones noone wants?[/QUOTE] The ones I don't want. I got a pyro hat and sniper hat but I rarely play either of them.

[QUOTE=Evil_Toaster;16206357]The ones I don't want. I got a pyro hat and sniper hat but I rarely play either of them.[/QUOTE] There you go then, you may as well have none of them.

am I the only person in this forum that really doesn't care about hats at all?

[QUOTE=HeckXX;16206405]am I the only person in this forum that really doesn't care about hats at all?[/QUOTE] I don't either. I'd still be happy if I got one, but I'm not bothered if I don't.
