I idled for 16 hours and got one item, take that! :smug:
I get nothing too. But its kinda weird because i keep getting the same items in a row 3 times. First kritzkreig then kgb then eyelander now force a nature. wat
Oh, I went 2 days without an item.
Not sure, i just got 2 hats in about 24 hours.
Somehow I can't get more than 3 items in an idle session.
You need something like 96 hours [4 days] of STABLE [never disconnected for unknown periods] idling before coming here and whining.
Oh and never whine if you're "slightly" under average.
Expect 12 items per 24 hours AVERAGE over a week of non-stop idling.
If you got 10 items per 24 hours AVERAGE over a week of non-stop idling, [b]you're just unlucky.[/b]
It's funny though. You rarely see people coming to the forums asking about whether the drop rate was increased when they got 4 items in 4 hours, but if someone got 0 items in 4 hours... oh boy, something MUST be wrong!

Just an FYI you cannot code pure randomness, its an algorithm. IT IS NOT RANDOM. People who rate dumb do not understand what random means.
I have gotten a hat every saturday for past 4 weeks

What does it matter? It's still random enough to say "random is random" to everybody who thinks there's a pattern.
You can generate proper random numbers using certain types of hardware (geiger counter and a radioactive source, web cam and a lava lamp), but why on earth bother if all you're using the numbers for is items in a video game?
I understand what random means, it means if you play for 2 god damn hours without a drop you should kick someone in the head for developing this "random drop system"

2 hours per unlock drop is the probability's average. [1 roll with 25% chance every 28 minutes]

Every 25 minutes.
For those of you who haven't gotten anything in a while:
Try restarting your game. I think they might have made it so the longer you play the less you find.
I was idling all day and last night. I woke up with eight things, but haven't found anything after that. I restarted my game and found a sandman and a razorback in just a half hour.
Robin said they wanted to decrease the power of idling. Maybe they ninja'd this in here in 20th's update?

Every 28 minutes

But I'll admit that the time between drops will often vary between 25-30 minutes, yet no reconnection was initiated and such.
I have over 100 item drops logged with the session start/end marked. It's... variable. Eh.... who knows, we're splitting hairs.
Dispenser why doesn't your ez-spectate thing work?
[QUOTE=Penguiin;20888062]Dispenser why doesn't your ez-spectate thing work?[/QUOTE]
It works.
If it doesnt work for you, I'd need more details.
For starters, launch it from cmd.exe so you can see the error message that appears before it closes [if it closes]
They should make it 50% every 30 minutes. Would be so much better.

you cant make it much more or else everyone would stela the scrap stopping recycling
By a fluke, i got the Homewrecker within the first 5 minutes of my friend playing CP for me :3 That was a fluke which i will never forget, although I think its because I took a long brake... which they also does not explain anything.

just stays on "preparing to launch tf2"
I just idled for 6 hours and got nothing.
I think the drop rate, no matter what anyway says, actually gets extremely low when an update is near. By that i mean an update that day. It just seems that you ninja loose connection to steam therefore no drops.
Ok are we really sure they didn't do anything at all? I idled for 10 hours on achievement_idle and got only 1 item. I'd say bad luck but a lot of people seem to be getting similarly low drops and this has happened a lot since the update, and only since the update.
30 hours = 1 Kritzkrieg
Yesterday was a good day for me, got 4 drops in 3 hours. Two huntsmans and two nataschas.
6h 0 drops. Not my day today.
Today was a good day for me, I got a Tyrolean and six weapons in 8 hours.
