TF2 Sniper Update

So do you lose the unlocks you have already earned ? or do the unlocks from now on arrive by random. I'm not really understanding this very well !
 
Everything is random as far as we know. Valve will update the TF2 blog sometime today. But as far as I can see it seems to be totally random where you will be playing and get an unlock by doing anything, playing, afk, spectating, owning, sucking etc. The update is also random so you might be playing as a Scout and unlock the Ubersaw for the medic (even if you already have the unlock).

So generally its pot luck I believe.
 
300 kills and no drops so far. That's kills, not points. If I may aswell have been sat in spectator then this is the most retarded thing ever.

This is correct. You can also get duplicate items. I've heard of people getting 3 ubersaw's when they already unlocked the ubersaw back when the medic update came out :s

Apparently you can create your own server, sit in spec and wait for the unlocks to come to you. Got an exam to go to, so that's what I'm doing atm. Will see if it works.

New hats pictures - apparently they are random just like the weapons :confused:
 
So this new patch encourages AFKing instead of achievment servers?

Personaly i think this new system is awful. I would much rather have the old system. Or some sort of system based on score/kills, and have the unlocks no be duplicates of ones you already have.
 
Just caught up with all this as I wasn't holding my breath last night (valve time people, valve time) :D

It sounds great but reading here that they have actually made the unlocks random has really ****ed me off. Thanks to all the dumb yanks with no lifes complaining that people got what they got but without dedicating hours of time, everyone now gets ****ed in the ass, cheers!

I read somewhere here or steam forum that basically it was the most complained about feature in all of TF2 (Unlocks, "achievement servers", Milestones, etc). What a load of bull, I can't believe it...

Can someone confirm that the achivements I have earnt and the unlocks so far (Ubersaw, Kritzkrieg, etc) have remained?

If I walk into a game this evening and have no ubersaw, heavy boxing gloves or whatever I am really going to be annoyed so much so that I might boycott the new patch.

I'd imagine that Valve are testing the system to see how it holds up and will probably tweak it in time.

I think it should be based upon how well you're doing eg every with kill your chance of getting a drop should be increased and every death should decrease your chances with a base chance of 1%, something like that anyways.
 
I don't actively seek out these weaps and achievements i just play the game and enjoy it..

Some people take this too seriously.

brb tf2 :)

In playing this morning, my previous unlocks were still available to use, I was using the Backburner to toast lot of Spies

Ooooooh thank god for that! [demoman]Thanks mate![/demoman]

In which case I am really not caring that much, I play it enough to probably warrant getting them at some point sooner or later, was just concerned that my past efforts were going to have been wasted.
 
Thanks Turtles for the hat pics, I want the Pyro and the Croc Dundee hat :)

Pipeline is bonkers btw

I missed that first time I checked this thread. Those hats are ****ing awesome!

I'd be happy with the Pyro and his custom hat, with the little choppper blades ontop :) Genius!
 
Do you think they'll release another set of hats in the future?

The Heavy hat is silly, why an American Football helmet on a Rusk? Should be a boxing helmet to go with the KGB
