Hats/Idling

[Guardian]

O ya I was about to post that.

This is partially why pays to be neutral (never used idle program )

I guess I only have a few days left with my Sniper hat!
Life is so cruel!
Nah, I got the lame tooth Sniper hat which is the worst hat, and I don't even play Sniper.
The only thing I'm worried about is losing some of my normal items. I forget if I got any of them through idling.

i just want my firemans brigade hat... (will trade soldier medal for it)

[quote="Guardian";p="192498"]Well looks like no one will be idling program anymore, now they'll have to use old fashion idling servers [/quote]

What do you want to bet Valve will delist them and prevent them from communicating to the Steam servers?

EDIT: I just realized that will mean the hardcore idlers will flood regular servers.

[Guardian]

Then people will make a different map?

Then people will idle in stock maps?

This could go on forever.

O ya that too

Drunken Fool shut down the idle server so you can't even idle.

I just got a halo in my backpack

Not a problem if the server admins are on the ball.

Well, im a bit salty at valve on this one. Not for the 3rd party thing, I knew it would happen. More so on the hat system. Why reward people that have more time to play this game, and cram it down the faces of people that have a real job, and very little time for video games? I payed the same for this game as you gusy that can play at least 4 hours a day.

Again, not insulting, just pissed at this system. Methinks its time to quit gaming again.

They also said in the blog update they're increasing the drop rate of all hats significantly.

[Bronze Fox]

Oh I wish it just gave out a random hat not a limited edition hat. That's the only thing that irks me.
Oh well. . .

Edit: I changed my mind, after playing a 12v12 round with about 85% of the players with the hat. Those things are so ugly, even If I had one I don't think I would use it. Time to get all my items back!

[Limpy]

Too bad about the increase in drop rates, everything else comes without any skill or commitment, at least the hats were fun to see.

I do not care particularly what I get, I think it is just fun to see some of the other people have something unique.

Long live the mediocre masses!

The halo glows in the dark. Sniper heaven on dark maps.

Also it looks like the halo does not disappear on a cloaked spy - at least that's what I was just seeing on dustbowl.

Assuming you mean disguised instead of cloaked, yes. Disguising removes any hat from a Spy.
