Just because you're Asian doesn't give you the right to call people hoes!

I know people like Dachande will say OMG STFU but I find it pretty sad that people are looking forward to launching a game and not playing it.
Also, it says double drop rate, not double drop limit, so I don't know if you'll get more items either.
I've played one and half hour and got three items (vitasaw,natascha and dead ringer) and a series 9 crate
[QUOTE=Tabarnaco;26895319]Why?[/QUOTE]
Because, crates are fucking retarded and there's a damn good chance 80% of the people opening them will get weapons.
And look, 100% who've posted so far have gotten weapons.
Valve should've given everyone a stocking stuffer key, but when they opened a crate, they got an unusual that had a circling candy cane and falling snow effect on it.
[QUOTE=killz2much;26895986]There's checkers on it.
It's like what happened to the soldier hats on the paint fix update.[/QUOTE]
Look on the bright side, now you have a checkered trillby!
You're the neighborhood's style setter.
I found a nametag within a few minutes and I never find tools.
opened a sword. Fuck.
Opened a huntsman. FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

People already act like they are superior to others because they think only they got free keys.
Most of them are huge assholes and don't deserve anything like that.

Actually, about a fourth of everyone got hats. But crates are pretty dumb. They need to make the things craftable, I hate having 11 boxes cluttering my backpack.
[QUOTE=EvilShadow777;26898066]Actually, about a fourth of everyone got hats.[/QUOTE]
And those 1/4 already had enough hats to be knocked off passing through a doorway while the rest didn't get any.
Seriously, once you have a few hats you just suddenly start getting more, while the people with none, get none.
So, is this going to start at 12AM PST?

if you think that you haven't paid attention to TF2.
Drop discrimination, infact, the drop system has the chance of a hat dropping rise for new users, while old users who had nothing must work to get to their hats.

Did everyone have bad luck with festive crates? I used it on mine and got a Madame Dixie.

I will take this off of your hands. This is my favorite Pyro hat.
No can do sir. No can do.
did drop cap really reseted? i played for like 2~3 hours after the blog post and go nothing

It did. Pretty sure I had hit my limit, but just got a Backscratcher random drop.
This reminds me of the good old days when we used to get 20+ weapons a day :)

I loved those days, I should've kept my items even though I reached the 1 backpack page limit.
Also, I found a Hustler's Hallmark, it's so awesome :buddy:
[B]Praise be to Valve![/B]
So I just uncrated 9 crates, but all with normal festive keys. I was saving my Stalking Stuffer, why I don't quite know. But as I was sorting my new stuff, I noticed I had one crate left in the corner of my second page, which is a bit odd considering I don't keep crates there.
I had a feeling about it, so I used my Stalking Stuffer on it.

Yay, Ullapool Caber dropped for me :D
Got a candy cane....
But thanks Valve, giving me free stuff.
So the drop rate is doubled... Does that mean we're going to hit our cap twice as fast?
Or is the cap extended too? If the cap is extended I'll idle errday

You will hit limit within 1 or 3 days (idling = 1 day)
It has to be extended; I've found 16 on my main, and 13 on my pal's account.
Usually, my weekly drop is around 4.
This is strictly from my own observations, but paints and tags seem to be dropping more frequently too.
To everyone worry about item caps:
There is no cap on the number of items you can get, ever. There is a limit on the number of play hours in which you will receive drops (11 hours/week).
[editline]23rd December 2010[/editline]
This event doubles the rate at which items drop, not the number of hours you can get drops.
