Wonder what the new chance for finding hats will be. Hopefully in the 10% range: 20-30% would be optimal IMO but I'm not that optimistic. >_> |

Well, it turns out the free hat is a halo on wires called the Cheater's Lament (level 1 Aura of Incorruptibility) and not a random hat. I probably won't be wearing it that much since it feels like a bit of an elitist statement (if 95.5% of players can be called elite) rather than an amusing cosmetic feature like the other hats. Also, it doesn't show up in the Backpack. So no trading them down the line, I guess. |

1478: George Plantagenet, Duke of Clarence, was executed by drowning in a barrel of Malmsey wine at his own request. Put on your hard hat and head for the highways! From repairing country lanes, to constructing huge motorways your engineering skills will be put to the test in this fascinating simulation. Lay out the traffic cones and punch through the concrete with your pneumatic drill as your new roadway starts to take shape. All of the tools of the trade are at your disposal including an asphalt planer, steamroller, marking machine and the whole gamut of machinery required to transform a building site into a super smooth motorway. As your skills grow you will be able to embark on a range of diverse missions. Country roads, pothole repairs, lane widening and motorway construction are all in a day's work for the hard hat highway heroes! Dig for pay dirt and form your own civil engineering company. You will be starting modestly with small wheel loaders but success is in the soil! As your skills and reputation increase grow your business with the purchase of a huge selection of equipment including the heavy road roller! Get swept up into fighting the flotsam and jetsam of city life with Street Cleaning Simulator! In Street Cleaning Simulator you are the proud owner/operator of a small firm specialising in keeping the town's roads free from all the leaves and dirt that accumulate over time. Visit your office to learn what work the Mayor's office has for you. Your vehicle is a highly sophisticated street cleaning machine. It's equipped with three highly powered and independently operated brushes. Whose work can be supported by highly powered water jets - which are needed to remove that stubborn street dirt. You'll be operating on busy streets so you'll have to use your driving skills to avoid pedestrians and other road users. Remember to use your wing mirrors to help prevent crashing your vehicle. Don't forget to fill up with fuel...and water......and empty out the muck from time to time. Street Cleaning Simulator features highly detailed vehicles and a wonderfully crafted town for you to explore - and keep clean! No more waiting on the hard shoulder in Europe to be rescued! Tow Truck Simulator places you in the role of the driver and operator of a rescue truck as you become the hero of the hour and rescue broken down vehicles and attend accidents. Or perhaps you will prefer to take the role of the driver of a dreaded towing truck and tow away illegally parked cars. There are four models of tow trucks for you to choose from each with a crane and winch to remove every kind of vehicle. You will learn how to handle different cars to get them loaded as quickly as possible! The large detailed 3D environment allows you to freely explore the roads around you whilst searching for drivers in distress. | |

Ugh, I think it's pathetic that there are players who refuse to heal those with halos and in quite a few cases even banning those with halos. What about the poor chaps who just think the halo looks pretty cool, or more importantly, the ones who don't keep up to date with the blog and the forums and logged in to find a free hat, unaware of the whole situation? Oh, and there is a sticky on the TF2 forums stating that weapons gained through achievements will be restored if they were deleted, so... they're doing SOMETHING, I suppose. |

From what I've heard, that [HEAL NO HALOS] tag/clan/whatever was started by a guy just trying to stir up drama and actually doesn't give a crap about halos. Which is pretty funny, imo. |

Personally, I think VALVe handled this situation about as poorly as they could have. I don't see too many ways they could have done worse. The items are intentionally designed not to be gamebreaking. So, why do we keep them from new players at all? The only unlockables that are standard issue are Blutsauger, Ubersaw, Axtinguisher, KGB, and the Dead Ringer/Cloak & Dagger (over the standard watch), and of those, only the Blutsauger is a "gun." The Ubersaw, KGB, and Axtinguisher are all melee items used because, in some pretty rare cases, they're just better. Pyro's normal axe is useless because switching to it would take too long and the Flamethrower is basically a melee weapon anyway. The Heavy's main weapon is of course the minigun, and either one is also death at short range, and it produces a lot more hitboxes than punching - the KGB is only preferred because the crit bonus on kills can, in some cases, save a Heavy in a pinch (I saw a single remaining Heavy on Arena cut through four of the other team's six remaining players based mostly on the strength of the crit bonus), although some people use the fists for the tauntkill; either way, Heavy melee isn't very common. Medics should be avoiding melee a lot anyway, and now that they can't build ubercharge using the Ubersaw on cloaked spies anymore, the Ubersaw is even less powerful. So, again, why do keep these items of roughly equivalent power out of the hands of new players anyway? You can make some arguments about not wanting to overwhelm them with too many things at once, but you're also going to train them in one weapon's style, making it harder for them to master another (most prominent example is the Scattergun and the FaN). Plus, it's very frustrating to get killed by something you can't even use. Hats are an even stranger issue. The drop rate was exceedingly low, and there were over 20 hats/headgear items. Despite this, they have zero impact on gameplay. So why make them have MMORPG-Godequip drop rates? They confer even less advantage, but due to their aesthetic appeal, are still in great demand - I can assure you that most people were not idling for more Razorbacks and Bonk! So, the ultimate point is that I blame VALVe for idling. They arbitrarily forced people to play a lot of TF2 before they can really start reaching maximum enjoyment of TF2. With 9 classes, several different game types, and all sorts of maps and mods, aren't there enough barriers to entry? Isn't it hard enough to get into TF2? Do we really need to lord items over new players as well? Then there's their post-idler-ban handling. They took away about half the items I idled for, and have screwed up all sorts of other things. VALVe, I did not have the KGB before I idled. I still have two of them now. Furthermore, what the what Valve did to your mom last night did they learn from the L4D2 boycott effort? That was laughed at for being silly, but it did bring up a legit point, even if that wasn't its real motivation - splitting the community is bad. Now they're doing it for petty reasons, rather than have just motivations like wanting compensation for their work and needing to heavily rework the engine in ways that can't be done through simple updates. So they created their own demon, botched its slaying horribly, and then branded and punished ex post facto those who paid it tribute. Good work, VALVe. |

Do you blame Blizzard for gold farmers? It seems to me that condemning TF2's items is akin to condemning all MMORPGs as immoral. If you play a game that requires grinding, you will have to grind. That's just how the game works. To say that evading those rules is acceptable is to say that the rules themselves, and the concepts behind them, are wrong. As for me, I already thought that all MMORPGs are immoral, so I have no problem saying that :p |

the problem there medi is that you could probably make a decent claim that by limiting one's weapon selections in an fps you're taking away the core idea that winning in an fps should be purely about skill, not merely luck which is why it'd be great if they'd just give everyone every weapon/hat and get rid of this flawed drop mechanic also gold farming is a bad analogy because it's not like we can trade items/currency amongst ourselves |

Leaked items from the closed TF2 beta: one already known of and one new as far as I know. New Wrench for Engineer called the PDQ. Builds 150% faster, can't upgrade. http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/3056/pdqr.jpg New Gloves for Heavy called the Gloves of Running Urgently. Makes you move at same speed as Pyro, Demoman etc, but drains 6 HP per second and has -50% damage. http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/6244/havyglovw3.jpg Edited by SabreCut, Sep 3 2009, 10:32 PM.
