Major Update Speculation V35 - A Distinctive Lack of Communication - Games

[QUOTE=DaWhatTheFox;51257695]Strange, today I got 4 missions. Is it supposed to be like this?[/QUOTE] You can get multiple contracts/missions if you haven't done all the contracts/missions available to you.

[QUOTE=ComodoreBluth;51257796]You can get multiple contracts/missions if you haven't done all the contracts/missions available to you.[/QUOTE] The thing is that I already had 2 missions before

Allow me to check on something; [IMG]https://facepunch.com/fp/ratings/clock.png[/IMG] If you had no Merasmissions before, and got 2.

What the heck, I got another one.

This is the 5th mission I get today, and they have been in a row.

Looks like the missions are starting to catch up with the all the time that was lost.

Actually make it 6.

After restarting, I got another 2. Strange indeed, perhaps a bug. I like to think of it as a compensation for the last few broken days, though!

Yeah I think that's how it is, I got the tough break pass 1 month later and did like 8 contracts in a day

I swear, I keep getting missions non-stop. This is the 7th one (plus the first two).

With them popping up this fast I'd laugh if we could exceed the 21 contracts. I'm currently missing 2 to cap them, sitting at 19 of 21.

It's happened to me before when I try to connect to a server before it's 'connected' to VAC, probably has something to do with the game coordinator as well.

I've gotten 5 contracts so far today In total, I've gotten 7 From these 7 contracts, I've only gotten ONE case. I also got 2 Spellbook pages

This must be intentional, I got two more missions.

I also got a shit ton of Missions. In fact, it says 21/21 for me now. Wonder if thats the end, or well get more.

I only did 5 last year, so I guess I have a busy week.

I thought I had maxed mine out last year, but apparently not. I'm at 4665/2730 and 16/21, counting the two I did over the weekend once they were fixed. Got two new ones today (uncompleted).

I haven't seen a SINGLE NEW CRAWLY CRATE and i'm like, [U]give me one or more and take my money[/U] but .. no crates? What is up with this?

Oh, I actually got a ton of the new crates, but I transmute like mad because I'm trying to get a full set of haunted paper masks and the only way to do that is through transmutes (only need medic, demo, and saxton now). Ended up selling all of them when they were $12-$15 each, it was SWEET. Hadn't seen any crates from transmutes today yet though. The new way of doing special cases in general is perplexing to me. Certainly they don't make enough off the market to make up for the tons of people who are unboxing due to double unusual rates? And people are unboxing like CRAZY according to revenue stats.

I've transmuted like 10 times and 0 crates. All i get is spellbook pages and already existing items /dupes)

saxton mask is obtained by crafting all 9 masks together buddy

39 times this update, 2 crates. Yes I'm broke but all money I had was from crates anyway and I got tons of Halloween items for free (and I bought two all-class crates too so Snow Sleeves and Battery fucking Canteens).

[QUOTE=Hell-met;51259020]saxton mask is obtained by crafting all 9 masks together buddy[/QUOTE] For the regular version, yeah, but the Saxton mask drops in transmutes, too. I've had a unique one drop for me from a transmute at least once. I'm just shy of 850 total transmutes.

Is it normal for queue times to still be this long? This is the first time I've played properly since early September, I thought they'd have fixed this by now.

Yeah, it's super odd. Queue Times are usually rather short, but since Halloween started, they have been pretty long - yet still under a minute for me. Which should be the exact opposite actually, since more players are playing. Their Matchmaker probably has never dealt with playermasses this big till now.

Just got a notification, servers will be down 15 mins maintenance.
