[QUOTE=Bynine;48121968]I still haven't gotten a third one, that's weird. Is it random?[/QUOTE]
The servers are screwy right now, I think everyone will get theirs in a bit.
[QUOTE=Doom64hunter;48121947]Someone's still working on the 4th of July?[/QUOTE]
We hear nothing from them and get no updates for months and now apparently they are hard at work.:v:
And of course the item server died just in time.

Seems the worst offenders in the Powerhouse crate are the rarest of the lot.
[QUOTE=Rajikaru;48121362]If you have such a problem with the skins there's already a removal mod. Google it, put it in your custom folder, and with all due respect, shut up.
Same for everybody else here. With both the mod already existing AND there being actual marketing facts backing up how popular the skins are contrary to "popular" (Facepunch and reddit's) belief, there's absolutely no reason to keep banging on about how horrible they are.
Yes a lot of them are super ugly. Doesn't mean the game's dead; on the contrary, this was just the kind of boost TF2 needed to at least survive until Halloween.[/QUOTE]
here's that "tf2 is dead" mindset
what do you mean by "survive until halloween"
wouldve been much better if they gave us a substantial update with proper content, not just skins and a competitive map set
balance changes are nice though, but you can shove that shit up your ass

Just got my 3rd Contract.
A damn sniper one.
I don't even play sniper much. It goes:
Score points as sniper:1 CP
Bodyshot kill: 2 CP
Headshot kill: 4 CP
Guess I should play 2fort for a bit :v:

Good. That means the good looking skins will be cheap and easier to find.
I got a case from my third contract but I need to buy a key to open it.
I'm not sure how i think about that tbh
OH FUCK I JUST GOT 2 CASES
Nope false alarm, the system glitches a bit
Blank fabricator kits are craftable again, and they are a lot cheaper now.
Just applied one on a BMOC, it doesn't seem to have an effect tho.
Got a Concealed Killer case, instantly sold it for $7 profit.

Wouldn't surprise me if they just do the blank ones from now on.
[QUOTE=Steel & Iron;48121846]Just got one as well. Seems a bit more difficult than the last two, so I'm thinking they're going to get harder as time progresses.[/QUOTE]
Wouldn't be sure on that, my third contract was just getting points with any class, and get 10 points in one life for advanced.
[QUOTE=EArkham;48122204]Wouldn't surprise me if they just do the blank ones from now on.[/QUOTE]
Nope, just completed a mvm mission and got a wanga prick fabricator. So they definitely went back
[QUOTE=ikes;48122012]here's that "tf2 is dead" mindset

I mean survive until Halloween. There's a difference between having a pessimistic mindset and having a realistic mindset. I've played and loved this game for 5+ years, but it isn't immortal. It'll either die like Portal 2's multiplayer or will be usurped by a sequel like CS:GO to CS:S. Everything dies. It's inevitable.
[QUOTE=ikes;48122012]wouldve been much better if they gave us a substantial update with proper content, not just skins and a competitive map set[/QUOTE]
"It'd be great if they gave us an actual update, not an update that completely changes up the game's meta, rebalances at least 20+ weapons as well as some core class features, and throws in 4(!) new maps as well as skins to keep the cash stream flowing"
If anything you're greedy. The only thing we didn't get in this update are "new" (read: new model with new stats) weapons. Weapons like Dead Ringer and Loch-n-Load are refocused and balanced. Weapons like Panic Attack, Air Strike, and Equalizer/Escape Plan were buffed enough to actually be viable. Engineer and Spy will never be the same Classes they were before this update. Also, [b]FOUR[/b] maps, one of which I've never even seen before, that are balanced, enjoyable and unique. If anything, this is one of TF2's strongest updates in a while, maybe even over a year. I'd say this update may be nearly as good as L&W, maybe better.

Incredibly unnecessary and rude.
I thought we were only limited to two contracts per week, I just got a third?
[QUOTE=Ace of Butts;48122331]I thought we were only limited to two contracts per week, I just got a third?[/QUOTE]
An exception, most likely
[QUOTE=Ace of Butts;48122331]I thought we were only limited to two contracts per week, I just got a third?[/QUOTE]
Tons of people are getting third contracts, contrary to the post above me. Some have speculaed that the contracts reset on saturday.
Why probably means that we only get 1 contract per week.
Oh lord.
[QUOTE=CrucialSeBBi;48122278]Nope, just completed a mvm mission and got a wanga prick fabricator. So they definitely went back[/QUOTE]
That's too bad. Seems like a lot of messy cataloguing to keep track of killstreaks of every type and flavour for every weapon in game, when they could simplify the whole thing. Might even give a little bump to MvM tours if people knew the killstreaks you got from it could be applied to any weapon.
Third contract and no case, this is pretty fucking stupid, in CS:Go, the challenges at least guaranteed a drop of other event related items.
I got an American Pastoral from my third contract.

The new contract is just a bonus so crates finally drop, apparently it also gives you weapons from the said crate.
I just got an update. anyone else?
