You would still get the drops next time you were on a normal server though.
+1 You definately do get drops on insta respawn servers
Hate playing vanilla spawn now, 20secs

Instant spawn servers are too spammy though, especially on maps where you have to push a cart.

Instant spawn breaks the game completely. It shouldn't be used at all on normal maps..
They are a pain to get down from distance and doesn't help that with so many engineers around they usually have someone behind them doing the repairs.
I'm also getting a little peed off with getting duplicate weapon unlocks (3 in a row) when I still have plenty of other ones to get

90 hours played 2 hat drops, weird I'm usually really unlucky with 'drops' ;p Maybe I die too much...
This is what I have

The Trophy Belt, Fancy Fedora and Camera Beard were drops. I crafted the Hustler's Hallmark.
As far as how much I've played, my Steam profile says 219 hours but I know it's a lot more than that!

Anyone know why the assist system in this game still seems so stupidly random? I can slap a heavy with a few rockets, then have an engineer hit him with a shotgun to finish him off, yet most of the time it fails to give me credit for doing any damage at all and the engineer gets the kill.
Nobody else notice this then?

Are you dying before your opponent gets killed? I notice that if you die, you never get an assist as soldier.
Nope, most of the time im still alive and for whatever reaosn the assist seems to pick and choose if it wants to appear or not. Last night i slapped a heavy with 2 rockets, then a spy backstabbed him but somehow he got the kill.

Because he's the one that actually killed him, not you.

He's talking about assists not kills.

Yeah, I've noticed it. It doesn't happen very often at all, but it does seem quite random. I have a feeling it's something to do with the time difference between your damage and the kill, can't be sure though.
I've only recently come back to the game after having bought it when it came out, so I'm not really sure if it's always happened.
I'm playing a fair few evenings a week now, so people can feel free to add me on steam if you're up for a game at some point.

The assist system is pretty weird (though not really unbalanced), healing, jarate, buff banner, stunning and fire as well as damage assisting all compete for the assist (who knows how the game deals with who gets the assist when they all pile up). With damage assisting though I believe its a bit of a combination of having dealt damage very shortly before the target dies and also having dealt a majority of damage overall. But yeah sometimes you can feel a bit cheated that you didn't get an assist, though I'm sure the game code has a reason for it.

Medic healing is always top priority for an assist... I think damage is nearly the lowest priority.
