TF2 General chat and everything that isn't TF2 - May - Games

[QUOTE=Executive;35867514]I don't think they're gonna do that with the salvaged items. If it does happen, people will stop paying 10+ keys for them. This does directly affect valve, as each of those 10 keys had to have been bought instore. You could also argue that them being more common would mean more people buying keys, which is fair since we don't really have statistics on this. My 2 cents, I wouldn't spend buds but if it went down to 15 keys ish, I'd probably get one.[/QUOTE] Valve is creating strange weapons faster than they are creating new weapons. That means eventually all the weapons will be stranged and then what will Valve put into crates? Maybe some re-hashes like we saw with the Knife a few crates back.

Maybe some re-hashes like we saw with the Knife a few crates back.[/QUOTE] They already attempted rehashing items and really, it gets negative responses. A lot of stuff they do is a test to see how a community reacts. Like salvaged crates are in themselves an experiment to see how people react to "rare" stranges. The reaction was as expected, i'd assume.

Rare stranges have an extremely negative reaction from a lot of people, but valve did it again anyway. I don't think valve give a shit whether player reactions are good or bad, just monetary reactions. That is to say, saying valve won't rehash again because it got a negative response is dumb.

[QUOTE=Executive;35867777]strange hats mixed with reused stranges[/QUOTE] Imagine actual strange hats, with passive counters for things like points capped, rounds won, times killed, and total kills while using that set (if applicable). Then we'd have things like Strange Unusuals and the community would literally implode.

Strange hat: how long you have worn it.

Then we'd have things like Strange Unusuals and the community would literally implode.[/QUOTE] Strange hats would be entirely possible. And there's more than enough hats to become stranged. They would count kills initially, and then of course you can add strange parts, which would be constantly adding new ones, which would become crate fodder as well. If they add new strange parts and hats, they'll have easily enough for over crate #100, which should be 1-2 years away.

Strange Private eye: Mystery solver counter. Solved the mystery of the missing sandvich. How? Greedy scout took it.

I'm just waiting for a strange Sandvich (watch the outrage when it is inside salvaged crate #50)

Salvaged is generally disliked too, but they repeated it. It's like they're taking test results then forgetting they even did a test.

It's just instead of listen the community and fix the damn game, they just see what people want and they put it in an expensive crate. Everyone wanted a Strange Huntsman, there, you have it. Edit: I'm talking about Valve of course.

Its probably the most wanted community strange that is currently unavailable (maybe the strange wrangler might be more wanted) so of course Valve will put it in a salvaged crate just to take a huge dump on the community. They will probably also put a homewrecker or some other useless weapon in #50.

[QUOTE=Omilinon;35868179]I like the homewrecker :c engibros are always good[/QUOTE] The homewrecker is ok but its probably gonna rank up on kills and its not one of the better weapons left to be strangified.

just made an awesome trade gfdiagifda [url]http://imgur.com/Kiv6h[/url] (click to enlarge)

[QUOTE=NoobSauce;35868698][IMG]http://i49.tinypic.com/bg48ih.png[/IMG] Is there anything that goes with the Dragonborn Helmet?[/QUOTE] Personally I think it looks fine as is, although you could maybe get a pocket medic and rename it "NPC Companion". Also, that reminds me, how did the defrag etc go? Is your TF2 working better?

The beard looks nice with the tamrielic. PM would be eh imo.

Quick poll: How many craft hats is [b]too fucking many craft hats[/b]?

[QUOTE=Dan*;35869090]Quick poll: How many craft hats is [b]too fucking many craft hats[/b]?[/QUOTE] More than a page-full. After that it's a little excessive.

[QUOTE=mattmanlex;35869095]More than a page-full. After that it's a little excessive.[/QUOTE] Why am I spending so many resources on craft hats? I've spent like 40+ ref so far.
