[QUOTE=Smashman;18936731]Well yes and no..
It depends what the stat increases could be..
It might impact your play style against them.[/QUOTE]
"Oh no, that Heavy up close is killing me approximately 0.13 seconds quicker than usual, I better change my strategy QUICK"
Again..
Depends what the stats could be.
There could be some more inventive ones.
I wonder if you will be able to, say, name your crafted items?
No.
That would require EVERY person with Team Fortress 2 to download your name.
That's why the Propaganda contest is a big deal.
Well, players already download your ingame name, so the name of a weapon wouldn't be that large change unless someone made it change 500 000 000 times a minute
Well it depends..
Most stuff is stored in tf_english.txt which is why it would probabaly require a download for a weapon name...
I wonder if one recipe will be able to yield multiple results randomly.
For example, recipe A yields a standard crafting item 99% of the time. However, the remaining 1% is the creation of an extremely rare item that has much more unique results. Not necessarily more advantageous, but definitely more unique.
I also wonder if those beta weapons they mentioned earlier this year (Spy's flame retardant suit, etc.) are going to end up as crafted items, though I'm not sure what ingredients would make it. Axtinguisher and dead ringer? Maybe the backburner would play a part seeing as the 'all crits from behind' bit is a trademark of the spy. It would certainly make the backburner useful, finally.

That's what I'm here for.

I would like to believe this is how it will work.
I also want to believe that is how hats will be crafted. I bet some crafting some weapons will yield abysmally low percentage of obtaining a new hat.
I'm going to rephrase what I said yesterday:
Why are people making assumptions then arguing about them with other people?
So little information has been released, there's been no mention of random-stat weapons at all.
How many people have actually read the update page?

Pfft. Who needs to read the update page when you can just read Facepunch?

I haven't read it properly yet, I got too excited.
