m-muh unusual status sYMBOL NO!NO!NO! I PAYED 1k FOR THAT HATE NOW EVERYONE HAS IIIIITTT

Status of what? How good you play? I mean most furries love to dip into shiny shit but what tactical advantage unusual hats gives you in the long end?

>easy unusuals bad for the market!
The market you degenerates ruined long before this? It's only bad for your stupid bot markets.

Oh no that sucks guess Ill just have to keep wearing my ill-gotten cloud 9s and Burning Flames while some furfag gets to lord his legitimate Blizzardy Storm robohat over me

>Tfw got 5 unusuals today from crates I had sitting around
>Still in my inventory even after the shitstorm

Thanks Gaben

Unusuals are the tackiest piece of cosmetic you can own and I'm glad they lost their status as a holy grail.

I brought a fuck ton of crates and turned them into unusuals.

Hope you all enjoy the funds i got you from the crates.

I’m more happy knowing I helped to further kill this zombie games economy, go have fun anons

But I have Schadenfreude bound to 2 because it is easier to reach.

Sorry user, but if it has the uncraftable tags, It's likely you also have the untradeable tag as well. Check backpack.tf

too add too this all the guys who did shit early on are safe, its the faggot coattail riders who are fucked, and sucks too be them.

unboxfags get to keep their new hats and tradefags don't have to deal with a massive flood of new hats on market

He's right.

You exploit abusers are just mad that Valve will take away your unusuals, one way or another.

Did it look like this?

Attached: 4c6ee71a6ee1a375f379946c590e117f.png (596x100, 7K)

nope slightly later time, its also just fine with that on backpack.tf saying the same thing. since i used ta actually have that many unusuals and got fucked from valve bullshit, i think they are taking pity on me.

Thats honestly pathetic that you fantasize about tiny social interactions like these with people you will never actually meet
Not even a tradefag

Medics

reminder that the actual prices of the tradable unusuals will tank as well to sub-7 keys because their prestige is gone

years and years ago i made $500 off a TF2 hat. I got the second burning buccaneer's bicorne that existed, and i made this guy paypal me 500 bones before i traded it to him

just my cool little story.

Seethe

yeah but most of these won't be tradable so it does not matter, i know mine will probably be ok, but i doubt the market will change much.

How early were you?

This the same for me. It's not craftable but it still shows the "Tradable After: Fri, August 2, 2019" part, even on backpack.tf.

No.

Seething

Huh thats the option i wasnt hoping for, spent 30 bucks worth on keys to open my crates hoping i would be able to resell them further down the line. (couldnt resell them since i had a tradedelay) Guess i just have a bunch of unusuals if i ever decided to get back into tf2?

I got an unusual burstchester when the invasion update dropped that people were putting up 300+ for. I thought it'd be better to sit on it and wait for a better price. Fast forward to today and it is worth maybe 15 bucks at most on top of being horribly ugly. I regret everything.

that's a cope
The NON BUGGED unusuals unboxed BEFORE the glitch will be near worthless now.

1-15 and 82/85 unusuals will be worth less than buds

Thats better! Heres your golden (You), champ! You earned it!

we were still figuring out which boxes were glitched when i opened mine, so i mighta snuck in early enough too where they assume i didn't know and may give me the benefit of the doubt.

>but i doubt the market will change much.
the amount of potential unusual buyers has dropped to almost nothing, furthermore, theres going to be no confidence in the market now, prices are going to stay low

Lmao cope harder

So what will valve actually do now? Making them not tradeable/marketable is only for now. They said they will have a solution after the weekend.

Lmao project harder

Wait what happened?

They will probably make it permanently untradeable or add a glitch tag to it. They can't rollback anything as people have used to money to buy games or other ingame items in other games on steam. Not to mention they made a ton of sales from their markets or stores and would have to deal with taxes.

All there is to do is play the waiting game and see if it's still there in a few years. I figure you have to log in before the roll back will affect you, wonder if steam offline will some how let me preserve them.

There will not be a rollback. People who sold crates and hats could have taken the money and bought in game items in non-valve games. There is no way for them to reverse those transactions and they aren't going to stifle people out of hundreds of dollars.

They wont change after that date, that is just because when you bought it they were tradeable and marketable.

Imagine being THIS mad that someone got a virtual hat for cheap. Not because you lost money, or because that person got an insane deal and you didn’t, but because the hypothetical person that got this hat belongs to a demographic you hate.

I bought two keys and got one unusual and one strange bat because it wasn't one of the working crates. But I stopped playing TF2 after removal of community servers so I guess that's 7 bucks down the drain, oh well.

Your average tester could have easily spotted this, but I guess hiring one is too much for this poor starving indie

They weren't tradeable to start with. I got a few regular items from non glitched crates and they also are untradeable until the second.

>Yea Forums walking away with a bunch of free shit
I checked, and I got a 30 dollar hat for something I spent like 5 bucks on. Not bad.
I would have bought a shit ton of unusual crates but I only care about having something to wear, not whether I can sell it or not; I also didn't want to get tagged as being a cheater

at least you got unusual hats that people will only know if they were one of the "glitched" ones if they examine the item

I'm so glad I left tf2 behind years ago. Worst community of any game I've ever encountered

its valve, user. We all know they wont restrict it forever. They get to much $ from tf2 hats anyway.

I like yelling at people in casual who pick up my guns. I don't care, it's just fun to act like it's the end of the world, and to get a reaction out of the other person (who then usually goes on to kill you with it too imo the funniest shit ever).

>I DEMAND HALF PRICE FOR THIS UNUSUAL BECAUSE YOU HAVE (NOT CRAFTABLE) MARK ON YOUR HAT AND IT HURTS MY EYES

Reminder that valve runs into the same problem Bethesda has: you can’t discriminate between purchasers after the purchase. A unusual bought in a glitch and one not bought in a glitch are the same thing in court. Valve might get class action’d at this rate if things don’t change.

Can valve even legally restrict the bought hats permanently anyway? There wasn't exactly anything on the Steam Market that told people they would be restricted until after they'd bought them. If you were someone who didn't know they were bugged, they're just essentially cheap unboxed unusuals. Is Valve fucked in this situation unless they decide to somehow find a way to rollback and refund?

I feel like this whole fiasco exposes the major flaw of unusuals. People don't want them because of the hat or the effect. They want them because they're "rare" or "valuable."
The actual cosmetics of the cosmetic items are tertiary to their importance.
If valve decides to just not do anything, removes the uncraftable/untradeable and makes them normal unusuals, things would become very interesting. The price of unusuals would tank, obviously. But people would stop wearing them for the "prestige" of owning them. And they would wear the ones they genuinely like the look of. And since the price plummeted more people would be able to get the hat they want.
Honestly, this is probably a really good thing for the games health. A lot of professional traders (heh) were just hoarding unusuals like some kind of autistic dragons. Now they would be more spread out.
The drop rate of unusuals were insultingly low in the first place. And the entire crate system was very predatory and not really worth it.

>And they would wear the ones they genuinely like the look of
No
Before the unusuals people used the Bill's then the Max Heads then Earbuds and when they tanked moved to unusuals and so on.

People wants to wear "expensive" shit because its expensive even if it looks like shit, just like real life

Honestly, I've got one good all-class unusual and hardly ever wear it because hell, it doesn't look good for alot of characters, but with the few that i've gotten yesterday, I can actually make sets for classes that look pretty damn good and are interchangeable.
Another reason I didn't wear the unusual was because it made me a target for alot of people in the server; you see someone with an unusual, you assume he's good or he's gonna lead the enemy team, so, you gotta focus him.
Now, i'm just another average ass joe and I love it.

This, it's why people who missed out on the exploit shouldn't worry too much. Sure they could've gotten an unusual, but once this chaos dies down, affected unusual hat/effect combinations will probably be treated as tainted or worthless, like unusual taunts but possibly even more severe.

I just wanted a simple solder hat with effect like the cooking pot. Guess ill keep using Bills hat for another decade.

Wouldn't this whole blunder just make unusuals worth less in general?
Even if they can't be traded, there will be less of a demand for people to buy unusuals just because a lot of potential buyers now own one.

Glad I cashed out and quite a month before this shitheap.

The people who dress to "impress" won't go away.
what I meant was you'd see more people wearing unusuals because it's a hat they like, not for its value. You wouldn't see as many people wearing one JUST because the people on backpack say it's worth a lot.

Yea that's why everyone's so excited, tradefags are fucking cancer so they want them to get fucked.
The game is good for the fucking gameplay and people that just "play" it just to trade deserve everything they got from this.

>that ESL aimbotter is still around
Jesus christ, it's always the most autistic ones who die old.

It should say "Not marketable" on it in your steam inventory.
Its only temporary, according to valve, atm. So who knows whatll happen to them

This. I bought an unusual a while back and I immediately noticed that it made people more scared on initial confrontations, which is especially troublesome playing Pyro.
Now I get to look cool AND not stand out at the same time, it's amazing.

>hurr look at me not wearing a hat jk I'm actually good, fuck off user
This actually happens. I literally don't have any fucking hats because why the fuck would I spend money on cosmetics in a non-MMO.

if your replying too my old post mine doesn't have that either, mine are now considered legit, sucks too be tradefags.

Who the fuck is still playing TF2 in 2019? More importantly, who is still paying tons of money for exclusive items in TF2?

they did make them untradeable, they also made them unMarketable too, I snagged this during the huge shit fest for $5, it'll never leave my inventory ever again but gg.

why dont tf2 econfags understand supply and demand?
there was like 100k unusual hats just introduced to the game

they think their hats still hold value even though theres no longer demand for their trash.

also, how much you guys make selling crates? i managed to make $220

>The people who dress to "impress" won't go away.
They are the core public for unusual hats
>you'd see more people wearing unusuals because it's a hat they like, not for its value.
False, take the Max head for example: nowdays you always see people with Max's painted black or some tacky color, then there is a reason why unusuals got tiers for traders and prices
>You wouldn't see as many people wearing one JUST because the people on backpack say it's worth a lot.
Its mostly what trendy hats are arround, best example are spy mains: they always use the same combination of items and hats just like most popular tf2 youtubers who make spy videos, same with with unusuals: 70% of effects are rare as fuck and you dont see them often because people dont like them and they are not popular at all.

not surprisingly yes it's starting to recover

Hell, even when we only got 10 hats way back people idle only to have a super extra rare hat that nobody got or couldnt get. The afterthought of looking good was minimal

There has not been a single unusual that I like.

Valve can't just delete them all or remove the effect, or they'd face massive legal action. People DID technically spend money on this.

>Spending money on hideous hats solely because others spent more on them

I'm the opposite, can't stand the war paints but unusuals can look nice depending on hat/effect and if they're in a nice looking set.
It's a shame too, I like the Hot weapon effect and would love it on just normal weapons.

The Tf2 elite are furry faggots who circlejerk each other with gifts to each other of these worthless fucking polygons. It's abhorrent. The market deserves to be nuked.

I'm seriously expecting bugged unusuals to get a mark of shame and, due to the sheer scale of this disaster, any account that didn't catch the exploit and logs in within a certain window gets to have some kind of free unusual. Maybe not hold our breaths, but it makes too much sense anyway.

This. There was no item manipulation going on like there has been in the past.
The way I see it, there are too many innocent parties involved.
People who bought some from the market for cheap: completely devoid of any blame seeing as the drop rate was manipulated by Valve and the price was determined by the community.
People who unboxed should NOT be punished for a mistake by Valve as them messing up RNG is their fault. There's no way to determine what could have been a more rare unbox.
Aside from that, there are some people who got keys from marketplace.tf, some people who used PayPal for crates, etc. They can't do a refund thing for this reason.

Appending that I'm talking about free unusuals and not the Lament, should've paid more attention to what I was responding to.

Wait, so did Valve literally do nothing to the unusual hats acquired super cheap because of the glitch? Fuck me, I should have bought all the hats when they were cheap.

I completely fail to understand the tantrum logic. They are just angry because some people got easy hats?
On another note ive often wondered how TF2 has avoided getting dragged into lootbox arguements since they were on the forefront of this shit way before others even if you bought keys instead of straight boxes

There's a good case of taking valve to court over right to resale, if they do happen to make them untradeable

Some crates gave 100% unusuals. People saw this, went "OH FUCK" and started opening those crates like mad. Now everyone and their dog has an unusual and the prices of basically every one beforehand plummeted super fucking hard and tradefags are so fucking pissed off at it valve had to step in and say "oh but they're not tradable :^)".

gift wrap desu

I bought crates and keys but then I realize it was bugged and deleted my unusuals, it's not fair for those poor traders. :(

So these traders make a living by selling these hats or what?

About 24 hours ago, all #1-16 crates and all #82 crates were giving 100% unusuals when unpacked.
Also unusuals from boxes 1-16 are worth a lot. So each crate was selling from 5-20 dollars each
The market went frenzy, and about 12 hours ago, Valve fixed the bug and froze the inventories to think what they will do. I think they will just honor their fuck up and let those unusuals be incorporated to the market.

If you have any crate left and anyone willing to pay, sell it because its already patched and only slow dumbasses want them now.

Content won't be tradeable or marketable

Not sure.
I do know that there were a lot of autists who make bots to insta buy unusuals that are cheaper than they should (kinda like you can do with a stock market), to try and resell them later, but they never expected the market to be flooded and when they woke up all the funds they left on steam (either steam funds or maybe their CC limit) was busted because they didnt do a stop-order

>will they remove them?
What will most likely happen is that the company will make all the "unusual" hats into regular ones but they'll let them keep whatever they crafted using the hats during the fiasco. Then they'll compensate them by giving them an exclusive hat for those that took advantage of the bug, prob some devil stockmarket themed hat or whatnot. Then give everyone who was playing while the bug was active the Cheaters Lament, since they've been asking for it.

It's not "just hats"
Don't reply to me ever again

>Then give everyone who was playing while the bug was active
>while the bug was active

yeah only they would deserve it.

Currently you cant sell or trade your items. They are thinking about next steps. By monday we should have a full resolution. Here are the probable solutions:
>Do nothing, unfreeze the hats and allow them in the economy. This will maybe piss off 300 whales but the community will enjoy it.
>Keep them untradable. This will piss people who didnt know about the bug and bought hundreds of dollars of hats they wanted to resell in the future
>Refund everything. Its a mess, massive backlash from community
>Rebrand them from "Unusuals" to "Counterfeit Unusuals", which look exactly the same, have the same effects, can be traded, but have some sort of note saying they came from the bug. Its hard to predict what would happen to those, as unlike other unusuals, those are 100% limited in nature, you will never unpack another one of those again, and it might add some value to a few items

hahahahahahahahaahahaha

>What will most likely happen is that the company will make all the "unusual" hats into regular ones
This won't happen because everyone who bought the unusual hats would fucking riot. Valve can't just take something they bought and downgrade it without giving them a refund

>those are 100% limited in nature, you will never unpack another one of those again, and it might add some value to a few items

That might fail since most of these tradefags seem petty enough to make sure the value of said items tank harder than their items, since they have control on backpack.tf.

Why is everyone mad at missing this out? You can still buy the unusuals for pennies, and this way you can avoid any future consequences since the devs are completely aware which is bugged or not

You can literally buy the entire catalog for less than 6 bucks

Well shit, alright. I'm just enjoying this from the sidelines and i'm curious on what the team will decide on Monday

It depends, really.
Imagine valve makes the color of that new rarity "glowing red", instead of glowing purple.
I would argue any fire releated item with a glowing red name would be worth more than a purple named one because of aesthetics.
A burning TC with a red name would be worth more than a normal burning TC, as long as there is a single one of each (or the same number of each)

They will now, but in a year a two they'll be trying to selling them for double of a normal unusual. Hypocritical faggots.

Ok I an a brainlet, did this shit around 7 am and it shows my four unusuals as Uncraftable. The “tradable after 2nd of Aug” still shows. Will they actually be? I wanted to gift one to a friend of mine

bruh

>want a unusual
>the all class i wear has no unusual variant
GOD DAMNIT JUST GIVE ME A UNUSUAL THAT 70'S CHAPPU

We don't know unfortunately.
Personally I'm hoping for Valve to acknowledge their fuckup and let the hats stay but they're probably going to add a "This shit was bugged" tag to it or make it untradeable/uncraftable. No way in hell they're going to straight up remove the hats, there's way too many factors that would make that a shit idea

Why just add a "glitch" quality to the hat, keep the unusuals untradable, and just be done with it? It'll keep both whales and normal players happy

That's good, because literally 2/3 of all unusuals can be found in those crates.

Yeah but that depends on me waiting those two years.

Is it true that the old gift wrap trick still works?
If so then holy lel, the ride hasn't ended.

Considering Valve honored their fuck up before, maybe. However something of this magnitude never happened. Guess we will see. Sucks if blocked to my account because he actually likes the confetti effect for some reason and its for sniper which he usually plays.

you who exploited the bugged crates, you know in your hearts that you don't have a real legit unusual. you will live with that mark of shame forever. but i have a clean conscioius. i can sleep tonignt knowing my hat is real while yours is fake.

valve should have turned all the glitched unusuals into unusual cheaters laments keeping whatever effect they had.

just because it would have made traderfags even more ass blasted

...john?

I'm out of the loop. Fill me in on what happened and if I can still get in on it?

TL;DR: You can't.
Volvo pushed an update that made some crates drop unusuals at 100% rate. Bunch of poeple sold shit, crasdhed maket.,

100% chance at unusuals and no

>golden crossbow never ever

Attached: playing medic.png (1279x718, 1.24M)

Damn wish I heard about this sooner. So are prices plummeting for good hats? What's the aftereffectsm

Is metal ever going to be given new value? Will they ever bring back hats that can only be obtained through crafts? That would bring key prices down and being a poorfag, I would worship Volvo for that

So where only #82 and #1-16 crates affected, I have an old alt account I stuffed with crates turns out I had about a dozen (mostly 8 and 16)

Too bad

I honestly never cared about trading so I didn't even bother to open the game. I always threw crates out anyway so I'm 95% sure I didn't have one.

Plus I was still in mourning for ExHentai

Unusual price plummeting because they're no longer status symbols. It doesn't matter that they're untradable, the people who spent 500 bucks on their unusuals are absolutely livid that they're in servers with people who have the same thing they bought for 2 bucks.

Other than the salt from traders who lost 80% of their stock value in a day, there's really no other impact. People who were smart and sold their shit made a few hundred bucks off the whole thing.

The market was in lockdown all day. Valve had to stop all the new unusuals from entering the market with how bad it was. So the economy is the same as before since valve is still figuring out what to do with the thousands of unusuals people unboxed.

>Unusual price plummeting because They're no longer status symbols.
keep telling yourself that.
They are back to where they were within 5% in 3 days time

>Unusual price plummeting because they're no longer status symbols
Thank god for that. I see unusual effects as a flavor enhancer for loadouts, so I found this shit really annoying.

this whole thread is the very reason TF2 needs to stay dead.

The big unusuals might recover back up to 80%, but the trash ones will stay fairly low.

The reality is that nobody is going to be buying, and hoarders might actually consider selling now because of the panic caused by the 1 day glitch. More stock, less buyers, means prices will drop.

They're just not status symbols anymore. Anyone who wanted one could get one for 2 bucks, and the novelty soon wears off when the whole server is wearing one.

A few months ago, valve banned a whole lot of bot accounts. Those accounts had stockpiled so much metal that when it was all taken out of the supply chain, it had the effect of deflating metal and lowering key prices a bit.

Only because Valve locked down everything unboxed during the glitch window. This includes every glitched unusual posted on the market, which were all automatically returned to their current owners. I mean sure, I guess the economy could stabilize to a certain degree, but it's never going to be the same and you're just going to have to accept that your unusuals are not forever. I know you have them, because that's the only reason you'd care.

Yeah, I don't think someone went back to random old crates to change a value from 0.01 to 1.

It was intentional, valve would deny it of course, but it was absolutely intentional. Think about it, the way valve profits off of trades, they probably made more money off of the half day of people frantically buying and selling crates and unusuals than they probably made in a year of standard operations. That is also the reason why it went on for so fucking long.
The likely unintentional benefit of it is that it also probably got a bunch of people who stopped caring about tf2 years ago to care again, even if it was literally just to make a quick buck.

That's a funny picture.

>people who just wanted Unusuals get what they wanted
>trader trannys have to deal with everyone else having particles on their hats and the realization that their livelihoods hinge on digital hats that could literally all cease to exist if someone at Valve hits the wrong button
>botfags had all their money dumped on Unusuals that are literally worthless now
>Valve made a shit ton of money and saw TF2 get massive numbers from an update that appealed to more than just the "buys 50 keys and opens boxes on stream" crowd
Pretty happy ending all things considered. Wishing I pulled the trigger on a few more Unusuals when I had the chance, a $3 Hetman's woulda been nice, but who knows, maybe the next crash is closer than we think.

The winners were anyone who saw the threads and hopped on to sell off their old crates for a shitload.

The losers were everyone else.

This. Literally the only way Valve does this is if they decide to eat the cost of EVERY Steam purchase made with dirty crate money, all for the sake of not upsetting the tradefags.

Like actually look at that scenario and tell me you genuinely believe there will be a rollback.

I got unusuals of hats I liked with effects I liked, but you absolutely see people stacking garish effects on their lime colored loadouts just to peacock and fluff their e-chode. Fuck the whales, they're the reason cosmetics dominate so much of the attention the game receives nowadays.

this, if people also unboxed that day and didn't know about the glitch till after the fact they are utterly fucked.
