This guy doesn't even have the first set of unlocks, therefore it is a new player. This is happening a lot to people who played little, are new to the game. Ill trade you for my 8 ubersaws.
I saw it happening too on the servers today. 2 guys were completely spamming the chat with their unlock notifications. I thought they just typed it in console all the time like I was shown yesterday, so I warned them for spamming and even silenced them when they didnt stop. If you read this, I AM SORRY! Weird bug in the system, it only just happened today with the new patch. And they didnt even say they changed something about it. I hope I wake up tomorrow and see the system fixed. Players not getting stuff is bad, but peopl just getting EVERYTHING?! thats worse. That cant be undone, nopt getting stuff can be helped by playing after the fix. I like valve, but for now seriously :evil: :evil: :evil: at them
Yey huntsman here too It's like a whole new class with huntsman, making sniper into more of a combat class medium/long range dmg dealer. Targets change from hevys and other snipers to mostly pyro, soldier, demo. Just have to keep using it, no matter what
Maybe because it got fixed today? I now have a steady stream of items every 1-2 hours or so. Also try this nifty app to idle without leaving the game open. http://www.sourceop.com/modules.php...topic&t=1611&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
Valve are still idiots. They want players who play more to get more, logically. The achiev system had the achievement servers killing the idea. Now with this new system they let you be afk and still get items. HELLOOOO?!?!?! Thats just saying hey we made a system, and everyone needs to play long to get stuff! But YOU can rape the system, here's how you do it! :evil:
Do the new items still get unlocked when achieving the regular milestones for spy and sniper? Seems like they'll be the only reliable way for me to get some goodies..
pff...still complaining about the system? I mean, it's NEW! Of course it won't work like they wanted and exploits are coming up.. But it's not like the game isn't playable anymore and besides the rest of the update is fun and quite good! So the system is broken and exploitable (the AFKing) and Valve will fix it all someday. We'll just have to wait till that day has come, but in the meantime I'm having some fun in TF2! There aren't any Milestones for the spy and sniper, so it's impossible to unlock the weapons that way... For the previous class updates you can still achieve the milestones and receive the unlockables, but I'm afraid that's not the case of the Spy and Sniper.
Yeah it's getting old, isn't it? It's been a week now and people still complain. Like Jer9 said there aren't any milestones anymore but like in the interview said:
TF2 Has been out of beta for nearly 2 years. Why should I be a beta-tester again? They have shown us the new toys for 2 weeks. Teased us. And now I can't even play with them. I assume you have got your weapons? Complaining is the only way to get things done right now.
You got me. I got that what I want (Huntsman) and of course now I'm pretty happy. But I can understand the frustration of some people here. Especially the tease that there's no trading system yet. People who got the desired weapon already four times and you're still desperately waiting for it. So that is pretty much a kick in the balls from Valve.
I didn't have a problem with the old system, if I wanted the new stuff I just did some effort to achieve my milestones and I knew when and if I got what. I even didn't care about all those lamers on achievement servers, as long as I could get my stuff for just playing the game and getting an honest achievement from time to time. Now I just have to play hours and hours without seeing any progress while I get killed by huntsmen, ambassadors and bowls of piss from every player I meet. Not to mention the servers (actually, it seems only the team I am on most of the time) are filled with useless spies and snipers playing with the new stuff without being any help to the team whatsoever while I have to play 4 classes at the same time to fill all the gaps in my team.. They fucked up by releasing the updates for the 2 most specialized, useless for the team when played badly, classes at the same time.. That's what so frustrating.. And all I get in return for my endless teamwork is the same item I already unlocked by honest achievements for the fifth time.. Just needed to get that off my chest and clear for once and for all..
Don't we all. The players that had problems with the old system where so called "noobs" those that have the hand-eye coordination of a 20-year old mouse with polio. They where unable to get the unlocks. And Valve cathered them. They just forgot the people that could actually aim or the veterans.
I had nothing against the old system, I liked and and wasnt really bothered by achiev servers. I admit that I have by now got all weapons except the cloack and dagger, with the jarate and dead ringer found this morning. Valve is listening to the feedback they get from the game. Problem is, just like we are demonstrating here, most feedback is about what is wrong. Did ANY of you mail valve saying how much you liked the achiev system? There might be a point that only the real good players were getting better by getting the new, usually better weapons. Everyone should get the first milestone without much trouble, the second should come eventually, and the third might not be easy for a lot of people. Especially medic in this case. So with a fixed system that would be solved. On the other hand Ps just can't shut up about the noooooooooooobs that are laying everywhere, and that noooooobs should die horribly and go to hell. The leet veteran beta testers should be caressed and looked after at all times, easy speaking when you're one. I do agree that the chnge was uncalled for and that they should not have been intimidated by the 'lesser' players complaining about not getting weapons. Then again I recall warlordje stating (and I agree) how frustrating it was to see lesser players wielding the new stuff cause they went to rape at the achiev server. The noobs go to achiev servers so they should just up. The newbs should also just try harder. And then there is the big middle class of players, who imo are the majority, that may not be as skilled to get all weapons in a day, but will get them eventually. They might not dominate everyone but they wont be dominated all the time either. Those are the players I think valve should be listening to, the middle class. Not the leet players, they kill everything anyway. Not the noobs, because they dont put enough effort in the game to be listened to. You can take their opinions into account, but dont let them lead the way. About the system: I dont get 1 or 2 drops every hour, more like 1 drop every 90 minutes. But hey its better than before. I hope they come up with that trading system rather quickly, I do think they owe us that much. And please, next time you go tease the entire community with an update, make sure you test it for bugs first. And don't crap about a schedule, just announce the update when its complete and unbugged. Then start teasing.
OMG thats great, all I got was the jarate and A LOT of guns I already had... Now I can finally get some more new stuff.
