those promos sound pretty complicated to get I'm glad I only want the staff

[QUOTE=Hell-met;37833319]those promos sound pretty complicated to get I'm glad I only want the staff[/QUOTE] I'm worried that by owning all the items in the collection separately, I've locked myself out of getting the staff, despite buying the collection would just be 30 dollars down the drain for a Genuine weapon.

Woo, the first time I got convinced to impulse buy because of steam deals, and the first time I bought game(s) to get promos. Congrats to the makers of the shirts, your work is that good.

[QUOTE=ThatSwordGuy;37833358]I'm sure you'll simply receive the items on October 1st, or sometime during the weekend[/QUOTE] I think later tonight. They're not going to let this sit over the weekend, customers will grow impatient and lose interest.

In the case of which promo gets which game... Only one way to find out! It's time for some science.... with my debit card! Seriously though, amazing job to the guys that did the shirts. They're fantastic.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37833300]The newly updated store page says you get the two shirts, with no Shako in sight. I think the news pop up was outdated.[/QUOTE] But that makes no sense. The Shako [I]belongs[/I] to NTW as it's a hat from the Napoelonic Wars era. Where the hell does the Shako fit now?

Well that stinks. I am to use to seeing a game having a promo and all you needed to do was have to preorder it, So i don't bother reading the info, then this one they pull this. Well tis' a sad day.

Could just get the Master Collection instead of worrying about what you get in the end.

[QUOTE=lilguy;37833389]Could just get the Master Collection instead of worrying about what you get in the end.[/QUOTE] Maybe some of us don't [i]want[/i] all the items and want a specific few instead.

I got the master collection because of having none of the games in the pack, giving me the chance to play something new, and not having to worry about any item being excluded (For example, it seems the shako for sniper got no love from the game i thought it'd be linked to). Plus i get the staff too, but that's just gravy on the mash.

I'm still confused. Do we need BOTH current offers to get BOTH shirts, or do we only need 1?

I'd be throwing away 20 dollars buying the master collection. I only need the two Shogun spin offs.

[QUOTE=Psychopath12;37833470]You could always gift them to a friend who doesn't have them, ned.[/QUOTE] they don't give you gift copies of games you already own.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37833442]I'd be throwing away 20 dollars buying the master collection. I only need the two Shogun spin offs.[/QUOTE] You could consider trading. Or do a gift to someone here on facepunch if they promise to give you the staff :V Or buy the staff for real money from a reputed trader. Or ask steam support about why they're so bad at making promotions. I bet there's loads of confusion on the spiral knights side of this promo too.

or I could just pay 10-15 dollars and buy the spin offs when they go on sale, and by then hopefully this'll all be settled and we'll know if just owning the collection gets the item or not.

Item server is down for me.

Unless the promos only drop once the collection sale goes off. This is the worst promotion for the second-best promos so far this year. God damn, even the hero academy shit was less confusing.

maybe they're finally distributing those items.

you can barely hear it in Pyrovision

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37833474]they don't give you gift copies of games you already own.[/QUOTE] wow seriously

[QUOTE=SLBros.;37833712]wow seriously[/QUOTE] they never do unless it's their own bundles like the Orange Box

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37833716]they never do unless it's their own bundles like the Orange Box[/QUOTE] if you end up buying a game or two instead of, like, 6, that's basically loosing money well maybe not in that case because the promo is important, but still, it's paying for nothing :v: oh well. the promo ends October 1st, right? Let's hope the Staff will be craftable.

I bought The Empire and will be pretty damn disappointed if I get the Sniper hat, this sale is too confusing. It wouldn't be so shitty if you got the promos right away.

[QUOTE=SLBros.;37833798] oh well. the promo ends October 1st, right? Let's hope the Staff will be craftable.[/QUOTE] technically speaking, it can't be. There's no generic weapon recipes, to craft a weapon you need a slot token and a class token. There would be not class token for the Staff, as it would fall under the "all class items can't be token crafted" umbrella. The Objector isn't craftable for the same reason

[editline]29th September 2012[/editline] also that GOD DAMN SQUEAKY ENGY VOICE can you POSSIBLY CONCEIVE how that will sound with pyrovision no you cannot[/QUOTE] Well theres always the option of having halloween-o-vison / spook-o-vision. I imagine items such as the Under Cover and Fly set in general will look quite obscure in regular play, so why not introduce spook-o-vision this halloween?

Has anyone else seen that Valve changed it so that you get the Shako and the Medic outfit from Empire and/or Napoleon, with no sight of the Spy one?
