QUICK RUNDOWN: SOME TF2 CRATES ARE GIVING 100% GUARANTEED UNUSUAL DROPS (1-15, 82, and 85 are the ones I know about) UNUSUAL PRICES ARE GOING DOWN AND CRATES ARE GOING UP THESE CRATES ARE BASICALLY FREE MONEY. SELL THEM OR UNBOX THEM DEPENDING ON PREFERENCE basically the TF2 economy is flipped on its head
And NOW: Valve has shut down the item servers and market for the time being, and we should be getting another “update” in a “couple of hours” according to the TF2 twitter, so no more free unusuals for now. No one knows what’s going to happen to the hats, but most people theorize that they’re either going to make the unusuals obtained this way untradeable and unmarketable, rollback the item servers to pre-update status (very unlikely), or do absolutely nothing about it because valve is incompetent
You could just, uh, watch people play and come to conclusions based on their actual skills displayed instead of just going off of soundsmith hat stereotypes
Blake Hill
It goes beyond #15, I got one from a #17. It's any crate with gen 1 or 3 unusual effects.
Logan Brooks
now people actually play the game and trade items at tolerable prices instead of being slave to farmers and their bot networks manipulating everything
Like. Change it back? They knew well what they were going for when they bought bugged shit.
Kevin Scott
>opened 3 crates, got 3 unusuals >only one of my unusuals got impacted so I came out ahead
if Valve actually lets this stand max heads, bill's hats, and earbuds might actually become the main currency again

Jayden Baker
Max's Head will become the next status symbol; it's scarce enough so that not everybody can have one, is already somewhat valuable, looks decent, and is discontinued.
Hudson Parker
thanks for the link to your completely believable story
Kevin Sanchez
So now that it’s over, how much money did you make? I only made about $16. Would have made more but I wanted to hold on to some crates to get at least one unusual. too bad it’s over

Kevin Ortiz
Nah it’ll be the bloohound and keys of Poker night 2
Ethan Parker
Could happen. Or he could have bought them without knowing about the bug.
Hunter Johnson
It would be. They literally cannot roll any of these back at this point because not only have people paid real money for these things, but then people have put the money earned from those purchases into game purchases. Undoing all this would be literally impossible without breaking consumer protection laws in like 30 countries and getting class action lawsuits at every corner. They can't make them untradable/unmarketable. They can't remove them. They can't refund them. All they can do now is shut it down and think of some way to compensate for the damage this has done. This shit is fucking hilarious.
That’s a really good effect for that hat You got lucky
Oliver Morales
Isn't TF2 a dead game?
Ryder Cook
The way I see it, the best way for Valve to salvage their economy and piss as little people off as possible is to do this:
1. Delete hats bought on the community store and reimburse the people who bought them the price they paid. 2. Delete hats opened with keys and reimburse the people that opened them with the price of the key. 3. Marketplace/Community ban people who sold hats they opened on the community market.
People opening the hats and not selling them could also get punitive action taken against them depending on how Valve feels since they were also exploiting the bug, they were just doing it on a personal level.
People saying that they should just make the hats untradable and unmarketable seem a little too optimistic for me. If they did that then the TF2 economy would be forever killed. Valve might not care anymore, but if they really didn't then they wouldn't need to make them untradable/marketable in the first place.
how can they discern if people were actually abusing the bug or not? it would be pretty easy for a user to just unbox an unusual and not realize there was a glitch in the first place
Brody Torres
ugly combination

holy fuck lmao tradeniggers absolutely backed the fuck out GABE NEWELL FUCKED THE UPDATE TONIGHT EVERYBODY JUST HAVE A GOOD TIME AND TRADENIGGERS ARE GOING TO LOSE THEIR MINDS EVERYBODY JUST HAVE A GOOD GOOD GOOD TIME
Probably let the people who only unboxed 1 - 5 unusuals off scott free but ban the people who opened and sold 10+ unusual hats during the time.
Any good samaritan would know something is wrong after unboxing their fifth unusual in a row and stop unboxing immediately to inform Valve.

Yup, you can send trade requests but you can’t trade physically.

Ethan Diaz
And just like that people are talking about TF2 again en masse and reinstalling
They made $$$ off this, and people returned to their game. Bravo Volvo.
Ryder Jenkins
Not only did you not get an unusual you're also never getting a halo. Do you honestly think modern valve gives a shit about doing stuff like that? They're way too lazy to do anything but the bare minimum and fix the bug.
Aiden Anderson
Which crates are the ones that were 100% unusual? Could have sold a bunch had I not had work.
Have people really sunk that much money into this game? Personally I only recently put the occasional $20 into the game to get in on new crates, or to buy keys off Marketplace to buy something I wanted. Never had the patience for trading when I could buy it with money.
Recently had a "sell off" of my shit last month that sold most of my items for about $150. Bought some stuff off Steam. Looking at this now I am so glad I did that BEFORE this update.
I only opened a couple of crates afterwards just for the fun of finally owning an unusual, and because I made 200+ bucks from crates.
What's sad is that I had another 20 crates in my alt account, but because of fucking trade hold cancer I couldn't sell them fast enough. Fuck you Valve, I could've made another easy 100.
Don't bother man, It's really going to be a while until Valve does something, always is. I'd say the fun is over for now and just go back to whatever you had planned for today.
Jeremiah Thomas
That hat and effect is FUCKING SICK DUDE
Brody Murphy
how are they exploiting me? I only bought 5 keys years ago, and bought a ton of games from trading profits.

that's based on key restrictions some ways of obtaining keys don't lead to the trade restriction (not sure which way it is)

Michael Flores
>make $300 in steamrocks after selling all those crates >purchased RE2Make, Bloodstained, DQ11, Kill la Kill If, EDF, and preordered Cyberpunk 2077 with money to spare good luck undoing this shit valve lmao
If I spent money to fill my wallet to fuck around with the unusuals/crates, what happens when they roll it back? Does it go in my wallet or the payment provider? I don't want a bunch of money rotting in my fucking steam wallet and I don't want to lose anything by buying keys and waiting a week to trade them over paypal
>rollback the item servers to pre-update status >(seems unlikely) Seems very unlikely to me. There's too much data related to money going on here that I genuinely doubt Valve has the tools in place to do this. That is, of course, if they don't intend on doing full refunds. Either way, I feel like Valve's hands are tied at this point. People who have bought and opened crates haven't broken any rules nor used any exploits: the fault entirely lies with Valve.
Only way I can see them save face is to upgrade all Unusuals obtained before the patch to gain some sort of super-unusual status. But as it is right now, messing with any new Unusuals seems like a very bad idea.
Jayden Gomez
I didn't have much planned, I'll just stick around for a bit more and then go, thanks user
I have played since beta and have unboxed a shit ton over the years, never once got an unusual. Always thought my platinum badge was a better sign of my skill level than my lack of unusual. Anyway this gave me the chance to buy unusuals for my favourite classes so now I'm finally happy with the game.
Andrew Davis
still the best
Gabriel Perez

Logan Gray
Sadly this isn't an exploit like the idle program was. This was done entirely with standard in-game options. The crates themselves even state "chance of receiving rare item" which states that even if the drop chance for unusuals is 100%, they're working entirely as advertised. Basically Valve is fucked.
Josiah Sullivan
Imagine opening an unbugged crate and losing your unusual.
Downgrading all the new unusuals to untradeable is probably the best they can do.
Unusuals have effectively lost a lot of their value even if they stop any new ones being made or traded, because now pretty much everyone who plays the game has a few. People bought into the crate system to be special snowflakes.
the second hat. i actually had 2 of the needed crates in my inventory. wanted to buy more, but they shut the market down that's the reason why they won't
You missed out on the golden age if you didn't play from release to Mann vs Machine, still a great game if you play with Yea Forums on party van, otherwise it's alright aside from some questionable weapon balancing and community server neglect

John White
One key is always two dollars because that's the price on the official TF2 store. Refined metal is always increasing from weapon drops, so it's constantly becoming more common and less valuable. Therefore it goes from being worth 30 cents each to 10 cents to fractions and fractions of a cent because it's so common and doesn't have a fixed price.
Blake Ross
I remember when 2.33 to 2.66 ref was a fucking crime.

>played TF2 for a decade >literally never bought a key or opened a crate in my life >just spent the $3 or whatever just so my backpack can be big enough to not be constantly needing to throw shit away from the item drops >only cosmetics are ones I've found or casually crafted from weapons I'll tell you right now that NO ONE notices your unusual except you and a handful of extreme autists. I can't name a single unusual, I can't even tell what the difference between a hat and an unusual is in the middle of the fight. During round prep no one is looking at your cosmetics, the one thing that gets noticed is whether a demo is fully knighted up, a heavy's bald head is covered with something nice, an engie is fat, or if a medic is shirtless or not.
>but the crates state they have a chance of the other items but they actually didn't Well that's just an even bigger pile of shit for Valve to deal with, but at the very least you were served up an item that was theoretically possible to obtain.

There is something weird about this entire situation. How could you even find this bug in the first place? Why would somebody even tell about it instead of getting shitton of money alone?
>People saying that they should just make the hats untradable and unmarketable seem a little too optimistic for me. >If they did that then the TF2 economy would be forever killed
Litterally how. Unless people having the same hats make them worthless, that's fucking retarded. If it's an economy based on visuals your economy was always worthless.

why the fuck would you want a halo anyway? It wouldn't be exclusive or anything
Think about the fact that most TF2 players didn't even try this shit, because they only play TF2 cause it's F2P. ALMOST EVERY player would get a Halo, it wouldn't be exclusive at all
So it really ain't special, even if they DID do that
Besides, what would constitute getting a halo? not having a bad unusual? What about people who only sold their crates during the madness? shouldn't they also get punished?
nice analogy retard it's obviously not the same. here's an actual analogy think of this >monkeys are expensive >everyone trades monkeys carefully cuz they are hard to find >company sells monkeys at 1000$ each >accidentally one employee fucks a computer up and sells them for 10$ >people buy a shiton of monkeys >transaction has been made >the monkey is theirs now. >if they take them back they'll look like fucking assholes >WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF THEY WANT TO TAKE YOUR MONKEY

90% shit, only good one was the Miami Nights Law, all else was crap (except maybe the Hot Rod which I actually personally think is alright). The ballcap I had before by tradefagging.
The best way to spot a player who knows what they are doing is how they move when you fight them.

Thanks TF2 Bug, you made Yea Forums a better place for now.
USE PAINTS ON YOUR ITEMS >USE PAINTS ON YOUR UNUSUAL;S USE PAINTS ON YOUR NEW HATS
THE TF2 ITEM SYSTEM GENERATES A NEW HASH FOR EACH ITEM WHEN IT GETS PAINTED AND DUMPS THE OLD ONE. YOU CAN PREVENT YOUR UNUSUALS FROM GETTING ROLLBACK'D IF YOU PAINT THEM AND THEN TRADE THEM TO ANOTHER ACCOUNT
I REPEAT, DO THIS TO PROTECT YOUR UNUSUALS

The shitstorm is extremely hilarious, I agree, but I'm really sad because TF2 is my favorite game and I still play it almost daily with a friends. I don't want to become a fiasco where the game suffers as a result, which is what I think will happen in the long run.

They can’t revert them without committing fraud against everyone who bought an unusual off of their market And I can still say I unboxed an unusual team captain And if they take my shit I’ll sue them for taking my 25 dollars And if they refund my 25 dollars I have 25 dollars and the experience

You won't sue anyone you little pussy. This isn't fraud, it's a fucking video game.

If it helps, TF2 has been around for 10 freaking years. I don't think it'll see 2030 anytime soon, if anything take this whole thing as a idea what'll happen when TF2 finally does get shut down.
Levi Barnes
This can only help to increase player numbers unless Valve does some dumb shit like rollback.
Evan Clark
I’ll sue because I know I’ll win I paid 25 dollars for a product. If they take that product and I don’t get my 25 dollars back, it’s fraud.

Go eat shit you fucking plebian. The pissants you mocked are now wearing unusuals they bought for a fraction of what you paid for. Seethe, you dense retard.
valve profits off of all of this why would they revert anything
theyll just write an apology and dole out a compensatory item, though i would greatly enjoy if they handed everyone a free random unusual just to tank the value even harder

Most TF2 transactions happen on third party trading sites. Valve can't give those people who purchased crates or unusuals off those sites their money back.

Where do I buy unusual hats irl
Ayden Hughes
This is the only unusual I ever wanted because I find them all ugly as fuck. Its kinda cheap now so after Valve does this thing Im hunting for this boi
entirely depends on the fluctuation of key/metal to dollars and since only valve has the true numbers on that its impossible to estimate, and even further complicating any estimates are that the likelihood of trading any of that for real money isnt exact
Joseph Sanchez

James Roberts
>Got an easy £9 by selling old lootboxes for a now shit game to you idiots who are about to lose your bugged sparkle hats LMFAO thanks for the free game
Camden Gonzalez
>All games you can get for free Lol
Luis Miller
>not just lighting it on fire
Michael Diaz
>mfw valve will keep all money made on the "tax" for the transactions >Mfw valve just made prolly millions within hours on account of buy and trade fags If they remove the unusuals? Will they remove the money they made off their taxes? That's the real question.
Aiden Reyes
Still happened on their servers. The sites will have to deal with the refunds.
I don’t like wen panther sad. Sorry for bad English
Oliver Cook
Wow what a shitty way to store items.
Christian Nelson
>why the fuck would you want a halo anyway? It wouldn't be exclusive or anything who cares I just think it'll look cute on my pyro
Hudson White
you don't do anything with the money all you do is every "fake" unusual gets replaced with a key & crate
Logan Cox
see also putting tin foil on it and standing next to a powerline works what color unusual effect you get depends on the current of the powerline though
Guys, I have an idea. How about making suggestions on backpack.tf regarding ref to key prices and try these down to like 1 ref? With enough faggots voting it should be possible
Its actually one of the greatest games of all time, the people who say its good but past its prime are just the equivalent of people who slam a game thats good by calling it shit. Do you understand? The game is that good. People can at worst say its decent now and once amazing. Shitposters can't even say its shit because its that good.
Lincoln Ramirez
Uh. Sauce on this image? Or was this part of that doujin you linked?
Easton Anderson
Burning is always good and the hat is ok
Logan Thompson
why computer sideways
Xavier Cooper
Well user... then people could just hack in whatever they want...
>when you get a supposed good hat/effect >don't even use those classes
fucking hell
Nathaniel Cook
same, I idled for weeks and still got the halo feels good man
Ryder Martin
wojak for stuff related to speculation is ok
Julian Evans
>valve forcing you to buy their funny money to buy things in game means they're exempt from law
Wee
Sebastian Bennett
Fuck Valve man.
Luis Johnson
implying i ever gave a slightest shit about trading in valve games thanks faggot
Ethan Bennett
Average per match on my region is at least 2 or 4 counting myself
Ryder Sullivan
Absolute perfeciton
Carson Wood
scared me. Thought I missed out on more free profits like I did with 61
David Jackson
nah it's due to valve stopping to give a shit. old hats had proper lods. new community made ones don't because you obviously need to render a fucking banana with 100k polygons from the other side of the map.
Aiden Ramirez
How is there people still unboxing when the inventory's are down?
Christian Morris
And that's why I'll be unironically trading my unusuals for other unusuals of equally low value lol.
Asher Turner
Yeah my bad dude lmao
Jordan Long
I uh. Most multiplayer games do this do you can't just edit your client and print items.
Colton Robinson
Are you retarded
Aaron Gutierrez
>anal beads shaped like stickybombs You have my interest
Brayden Garcia
It can if a larger amount of players is only in it for the hat trading and now got their inventory nuked. I don't think it'll be too bad since only gen 2 effects seem to be affected, but some most likely will drop off because of it.
Nathaniel Ross
God I hate this >own two PCs, a shitter and a newer, much more powerful one >tf2 used to run perfectly on normal settings on the shitter >now it can only comfortably run on minimum settings on the better machine
Logan Hall
shouldn't have bought fake unusuals user
Jayden Bell
at least in wow it's stored clientside, I basically make a living selling WoW gold I just generate using cheat engine & save editors
Ian Turner
Changing the prefix on an item doesn't violate any fucking law you tard This is like saying that you should sue over your old items becoming vintage
Ian Moore
hiromoot won't let me post images I just want loadout ideas for my loot
Ethan Brown
And on this day we got 2 new burning team flames team captain
>You buy steam funny money to buy items from Steam with the funny money >Steam takes a cut of the funny money you bought from Steam from every item you buy So wait a second Where does the cut from the sale go
What the fuck yes it does Every single jury, judge and lawyer in any country worth a rat fuck makes a clear divide between intent and non-intent (ignorance) Man you are just stupid
Isaac Thompson
This has to be bait.
Xavier James
I didn't buy any unusuals, you fucking tard. I just loved watching you elitists burn and screech helplessly as you lose hundreds of dollars.
Funny because 95% of the time "based" is used ironically now >Someone makes obvious shitpost >People reply "based" Real big think
Jordan Edwards
New thread
Luis Hughes
>smash somones window in >lol it's still there, you can't sue me
Parker Evans
Why would anyone do that when someone upvotes them on Yea Forums
Kayden White
>b-b-b-b-but I didn't know she was twelve :^) lol enjoy getting banned dumbo
Kayden Taylor
So you admit that you would lie in court? Hehe, interesting.
Lucas Rogers
>If that's the case then traders have no problems with their items being useless you tard. So? The hats have no intrinsic value. Don't use analogies. Just never do that. I don't know why you think an analogy would ever be a valid argument.
