[QUOTE=stea1th;20810453]Hey NanoSquid you're in the same server as I am[/QUOTE]
So I am! :D
[QUOTE=Shugo;20809958]Are you people getting these while idling?
You do realize they could be the return of the CheatDetector items, right? Valve could be planting these into accounts of people they're finding idling and could be planning to activate them as CheatDetectors at a later date, having some kind of horrible consequence.
OR they could be future item indexes mistakenly placed in the random drop system, and when the items actually come out, they'll be filled in and you can enjoy having those items on day one of the update.
So you are now faced with a grave decision: Delete it now with a backpack editor to save your ass from being CheatDetect'd, or fly on the wings of chance and keep it, hoping it'll turn into a glorious hat/Engie item when a new update rolls out.[/QUOTE]
[URL="http://www.tf2items.com/id/siveriano_"]This guy has it[/URL], and I was in a game with him not 10 minutes ago. He's still there.
No fucking joke.
It will most likely not be a Cheat Detector if people who don't idle are getting it.
I found a Backburner. Please don't tell me that's the mystery item :/
Who has it who hasn't idled?

I ain't touchin this with ANY "third party" stuff.
guys have you noticed they aren't in the tf2items.com/allitems.php list and they arent yet in game, so either we get some updates that get them ingame.
[QUOTE=NanoSquid;20810416]This post was informative and useful
Rate it as such[/QUOTE]
yes it is informative and useful because i idle and i don't have it

Yes, we are well aware that they use index numbers outside of the current available item pool.
The question is, why?
[QUOTE]11:11 PM - Drunken F00l: also, it looks like engineer weapons or new hats or something have started dropping tonight?
11:11 PM - Drunken F00l: item indexes 153, 154, 159
11:12 PM - Robin: oh that isn't good

11:13 PM - Robin: sure explains some behavior I saw before coming home
11:13 PM - Drunken F00l: oh do elaborate
11:13 PM - Robin: oh well, will fix it tomorrow morning
11:13 PM - Robin: nah, nothing interesting, just random debugging

Guys, I've got it! They're the PDQ, GRU and fireproof suit!!
It all makes sense! On the steam forums someone posted that a valve worker said there'd be an update with "weapon tweaks" this week, and then THIS happened with these three items. what have they been testing in the beta?? Weapon balancing, and those three weapons!!!

I thought about this, but didn't post because I decided it was too unlikely.
As will I.

I'm going to cum buckets if those items get added to the game.
Though it wouldn't really make sense for them to put an Engineer item into the game before his own update came out.
I know how they could calm everyone down: Converting the test items into their super-cool-new-item counterparts come tomorrow.
Unless they're super-cool-new-cheat-detector-items. Then tomorrow will [i]suck[/i].
Would be good for trading.

You forgot the Overhealer. They wouldn't release an Engineer weapon before his own update.
I will be very annoyed if the release is now delayed because of this business.
[QUOTE=Mnemosynaut;20810922]You forgot the Overhealer. They wouldn't release an Engineer weapon before his own update.[/QUOTE]
The Overhealer was confirmed scrapped and was replaced by the Kritzkrieg. The P.D.Q., The Gloves of Running Urgently, and the fireproof suit were in beta testing fairly recently and their fates were never confirmed. In fact, they even made backpack icons for the fireproof suit that are in the GCF. It's not too far fetched of a theory.
But I do agree with the fact that it'd be weird if they released an Engineer item before his own update. That's why I'm thinking these are probably hats.

Fire suit, GRU, and PDQ were not.
The weapon buffs as mentioned here might well be the Medigun and Ubersaw buffs

"The overhealer appears to have made a comeback. It now buffs players +50% health which doesn't decay, but heals at a rate of -50% as compared to the regular kritzkrieg and uber. It is currently unsure whether this will make it through the beta unchanged however."
I haven't got one, but don't know whether to try and get one or not.

I personally have a copy of the modified files from that beta and there's no Overhealer in the CTX. Either that was false info or it was added after I got my copy. Notice how that weapon is the only one without screenshot proof there.
But good catch anyway. Would be really cool either way.

I'm going for it. These could turn out to be rare hats tomorrow, so getting them now while they're accidentally common would be ideal.
Stuff that's supposed to be out tomorrow? Oh shit!
Well,here comes that pre-update anxiety
