Drop stats: Week 2+3 - Games

[QUOTE=ThndrShk2k;21882032]Well, technically you might not even get the right drops for correctly crafting a new hat, so it could be about 4 months. And you might also get a crappy hat in that time as well.[/QUOTE] Thats the point for Hats being [B][I]RARE[/I][/B]

Got about 12 or so drops last week. Was awesome.

[QUOTE=SmashJonXD;21893188]Thats the point for Hats being [B][I]RARE[/I][/B][/QUOTE] Obviously, but I was just giving them more to bitch about when then finally get enough items, only to learn that they have like, 2 soldier items and 1 medic, and have to wait another week or two before crafting.

I have got about 6 drops this week

I haven't gotten a single item up to this point. What the fuck? :geno:

good job valve "stop" idling, everyone doesn't get drops.

I've gotten more drops than I've ever had since the update. I'm finally able to craft things and actually FIND ITEMS. A lot of people say "it feels like it's not worth playing after the cap" - where is the sense in that? You play the game because it's a game, to shoot things, to capture points, not to find items. TF2 isn't based around the items or the hats, they're just a sideline. Just play the game as if it were a game, not some sort of easteregg hunt.

i agree with that, i've had more drops since the update than i had since they could drop in the first place

I usually get 1-2 drops per day, but I don't play every day Before I was getting 1 drop every few days, so this is an improvement for me

I don't much care for this new drop system at all, I must say. It's been out for, what, 3-4 weeks now? I've gotten maybe 7 items in that time. [img]http://i.imgur.com/QXMNP.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=Kalinium;21899400]Since I posted that, I found a hat, then my first bonk drop, then the bonk helm. Luck turnaround, go![/QUOTE] Then the solution is to bitch as loudly as you can before you find a shitton of shit. Sounds reasonable, looks like steamforums will eventually stop getting so many threads bitching about droprate if that's true. Congrats on the two hats.

How many hours until it resets?

[QUOTE=Orkel;21905407]How many hours until it resets?[/QUOTE] 5-ish [editline]02:25AM[/editline] the tf2 devs just made it so 1 scrap metal = 2 weapons, so I believe they could have changed some drop related stuff

Well my Thursday 00:00h PST reset time assumption was wrong... or something changed. [b]1st account: Capped last Thursday - Drops restarted Wednesday[/b] I don't know when it actually reset because when I launched it Wednesday night, I got a drop within 30 minutes. [b]2nd account: Capped on Tuesday - Drops did not restart yet[/b] So we're past Thursday 00:00h PST and it's not getting drops. Odd odd odd I'm going to analyze my logs, to see exactly what happened in the past.

Not getting any drops.
