What is the quick rundown on it?

Attached: 1563316480181.jpg (877x1240, 313K)

Certain series of crate had a 100% unusual chance because of a glitch from the most recent update. Several tens of thousands of unusuals were unboxed during this time and were made unmarketable and untradable. Many have a timer that says they will be available for trading on August 2nd 7:00:00 GMT.

lmao, how much is an unusual now?

A lot of the trader people are freaking out because of speculation and how Valve is handling the situation. A lot of unusuals have gone down a bit in price but will go down way more depending on what Valve does (or doesn't).

Valve gets sued


>NU UH VALVE BIG NO ONE CAN TAKE THEM IN COURT
Sure love how valve won that lawsuit involving not refunding game-oh.

>can finally trade unusuals with ease cause they're fucking cheap

feels good

nothing will happen, everyone but tradeniggers will win

Ironically seeing this spectacle unfold has kind of made me want to play again. I recall anons saying you can get almost all the class weapons very cheaply now? I never really unlocked or obtained most of the alternate weapons outside of Medic's.

I can't even trade because valve refuses to let anyone who won't give them their phone number trade.

On what grounds will valve be sued?

tf2 is for cumbrains

yeah, most stranges (the type of weapon that counts kills) can be bought for like 3 cents to a couple bucks a piece
grab them off the community market or just buy non-stranges in bulk for even cheaper off a bot on scrap.tf or something

Cumbrain is from Twitter.

The earliest users were communists and trannies. I believe the person who coined the term was someone named fanghail. Her tweets are protected now but look up "fanghail cumbrain" on google and you'll find this:

You have almost always been able to get every weapon in the game for very cheap. You can get all of them for like 2 dollars, buy a key then trade it for refined, use the refined to buy each weapon for a scrap. I would recommend getting back into it if you want to, it's honestly still a lot of fun

Really depends on what class you play. I'm a soldier main and I would recommend the Gunboats for him. You mentioned Medic so I would say Crusader's Crossbow is a must, and Ubersaw/Kritzkreig are good too. Some other good items in general are the Gunslinger and Wrangler for Engie, and the Sandwich for the heavy.

Scout on 5cp is easy as well. The real challenge would be to play Scout on Junction.

Valve didnt get sued, they didnt even have a choice.
It was them being held at gunpoint where they either had to comply to the consumer laws or get booted from the market.

Realistically the only chance at taking a big company like Valve to court is through a class action lawsuit.
A single person wouldnt stand a chance.

So I uncrated two unusuals today. I got nier automata and guilty gear xrd 2 for free.

shit game

Trade sites are run by literal kikes that list prices on items, only the prices arent determined by supply and demand but by user votes.
Imagine if fucking reddit had control of the world economy and you could change the price of oil at the drop of a hat if you had enough karma just because you feel like it.
Its not just backpack.tf but the entire fucking cabal of traders that run these third party markets.
Incidentially they’re also the ones who ruined keys by inflating the metal prices with their bot farms.

>What class did you play?
Soldier, Scout, Pyro and Demo

I don't cap, I play for frags

are any older crates good to unbox for possible unusuals worth anything?

no, i was out of the area so i couldn't abuse glitch, i have a lot of older crates though, never did much unboxing.

They raised the price of keys, so I destroyed the price of unusuals.

They went back up in value after the untradable patch, but before that they were as low as $4.

It's worth noting that these were mostly Series 3 Unusual effects. Series 1s were only possible in crates 1-through-8 and those were quickly selling for $10-to-50.

S
fuck tradeniggers

just installed tf2, what button flosses?

Series 1 unusuals are worth the most. If you get something like a sunbeams team captain its worth hundreds of keys.
Might want to wait til valve decides what to do with the locked unusuals though.

>tfw have several scorching and burning effects
Fucking just need them to be tradable now

People started to rely on online spreadsheets instead of barter, which of course was managed by people with their own interests in mind.
To be fair, it was useful in the start, but everything went to shit once it grew.
F2P update only made it worse since now they could just have a shitton of accounts gather metal, even with the limited weekly drops despite the whole idling thing a few years earlier.
And it was only made easier when they could passively profit from trader bots that could run their business with the steam tradeoffers being a form of inactive trading where you didnt have to present your goods manually.
Not to mention all the outright scams the sites ran with various services such as raffles.

series 1 is like #1 to #25 or so?

yes

Hard to crash an economy thats being artificially kept alive

Laws exist outside of the US. So one of the many many EU Consumer laws.

Also, fucking over people with loot boxes then telling them "LOL YOU CAN'T DO SHIT" is SURE to stop countries drafting loot box legislation from directly fucking with valve in retaliation

>b-b-but my Gaben has a billion dollars so he can beat anyone

>It was them being held at gunpoint where they either had to comply to the consumer laws or get booted from the market.
I am sure all these countries furious about loot boxes will be happy Valve shat on their laws.

hats where always a mistake. Especially unusuals. Only hat before 2012 should be in the game. Fuck crates and fuck the hat makers of the community.

The trading economy sounded great on paper. But it ended up ruining the game somewhat. The artistic value is fucking dead and we never get weapon updates.

We never get weapon updates because compfaggots bitch and moan about anything that isn't stock and then sometimes bitch about stock as well.

> rip asteroid
I get sad thinking about it

Do you guys seriously believe this? Valve has hardly ever given a shit about compfags. It wasn't until a few years ago that they decided to go for broke and contact b4nny, and they only did that because he's the most popular tf2 streamer these days.

Where do you honestly think tf2 would be without comp? It would be in almost the same exact place. The thing that killed the game was the overflow of cosmetics and lootcrates. Why should valve make interesting unlockable items and achievements when flooding in cosmetics makes money and takes less effort?

they were possible in crates 1-18 at least, though i head 19 and 20 also worked.

>Valve has hardly ever given a shit about compfags.
Except MYM and all the weapon "rebalances" thereafter.

God for whatever reason on Asteroid whenever I go Direct Hit I usually hit MVP and destroy everything. Every other map I do about the same as I would with stock.

I love that map and still hold out hope that it gets finished.

I really don't think MYM had to do with tf2's comp. They were trying to make tf2 seem relevant and up to date with other multiplayer fps games. They put in ranked matchmaking with no rules, it's a far cry from the regulations of competitive, much closer to the crap OW has.

The last couple of years of weapon rebalances are up in the air, who really knows what's going on at valve. Have they really been bad anyway? I miss turtling with the RR and wrangler, but I'll admit it was OP even on pubs. I think most of their recent changes make sense even outside of comp, but if you have examples that suggest otherwise I'd like to hear them.

>Why should valve make interesting unlockable items and achievements when flooding in cosmetics makes money and takes less effort?
because there are FAR more people that actually play the game instead of treating tf2 as a stock market
the real players playing the game would be way more willing to shell out money for a few keys if they're happy with the state of the game because they get a few new toys to fuck around with and have fun
the game has been in a shitshow state ever since meet your match happened and a lot of people feel like tf2 is becoming a corpse now (or a corpse thats starting to rot)
if all they did was add in ONE map and like 1-3 new guns (with stranges in the cases or whatever) alongside their constant spam of god awful looking cosmetics that tank performance, normal players would be way happier (barring the fps drops of course)

Convince valve of that, not me. Right now the amount of work that is done on tf2 is an absolute pittance, even the "TF team" doesn't work full-time on it. Some people there vaguely want to make players happy, but they don't have nearly the amount of time needed to put content into the game, the best that they can do is occasionally push out a rebalance or fix an exploit. I think you should read this pdf, a guy went to valve HQ recently and the state of tf2 is pretty dour. Reading in between the lines I'd say it's already practically dead to the developers. At best it's a pet-project of a few of the employees.

i'd estimate around 20-25 bucks. about half of the signs i traded for, the other half i bought off marketplace for like 10 bucks. the badge was a gift, the flair was a couple bucks, and then ya gotta factor in all the name tags and description tags. i also got this and a pink paint for it, that'd add on about 15 bucks if you count it.

it closed because no one was playing it for strange reasons.
if you played the game back then, maybe you can still have the achievements and so the hats, but i'm not sure.

The idiots who used steambux to buy the sparkly hats wouldn't like that. That would only please one side of this situation. I think just leaving them untradable and unmarketable would be for the best.

you dont even need to download the game, just use sam and the game should be there, if not just find the storepage id and add it

you can't because the achievement was tied to playing an online match. and the servers shut down in 2014 or something like that

Based. They deserve it and it's a good life lesson.

whats happening with the hats?

There's an exploit that if someone opens their TF2 inventory on steam while in-game (it can be any game, not just TF2), other people can load the page too and trade offer them to themselves thanks to a coding leak similar to what happened with intel CPUs.
Essentially people were just running a script to load inventories that got leaked and trade offer themselves anything of value (mostly unusuals).

When you first played TF2 with 4 categories. Primeval Warrior for those who joined during the beta. Grizzled Veteran for those up to 3 months of release. Soldier of Fortune from 3 months to a year. Mercenary from 1 year to present.
I would've liked if they added a new one, like 1 year to 10 years would be the Mercenary, 10 years to present could be like Gravel Cadet.

I still have that but I crafted my Proof of Purchase

I pretty much stopped playing a year or two after it went F2P. Community was actually based as fuck pre-F2p and anyone who wasn't around missed out.

TF2 is shit nowadays

gamer

The most regular weapons that just work (no killstreak and stat count bullshit) are universally 0.5 scrap each, which is something like 1/4th of a cent.

Just checked, all my "bootleg" unusuals now have the "Can't Trade, market, craft, or gift wrap" thing on 'em. I'm going to guess, since Valve is usually lazy, that this is the solution they had in mind.

People who wanted unusuals win and keep their unusuals until deleted or otherwise, and """tradefags""" basically win by not having their precious pixel market go under...for now at least.

Only people who lose are those that have backpacks full of bootleg unusuals, or the whinest of the faggots, those that probably want a free hat for missing out on this whole thing, and probably won't get it.

I can already see hardcore trade trannies declaring it as some huge "victory" over us, but personally myself, I don't care at all. I woke up that early friday morning to a wonderful mess of hats and people crying over hats. Seeing their tears was worth just waking up that day, even if I can't sell my unusuals, I'm happy to keep 'em and treasure them until the day TF2 dies for good. That's my take away at least.

When Gabe was this young, you still could publically use jew as an insult.

It isn't really an issue of choice. It was objectively false advertising as people bought keys and used them on crates with the expectation of being able to trade them. Valve changed it making the results of those crates un-tradeable after selling keys to people under false pretenses.

Valve can remove the unusuals or keep them un-tradeable. But in either situation they still have to refund the keys. They don't get to fuck up and then just keep the money while fucking the people over. That is actually illegal in this case.

They’ll leave it as it is. Removing the unusuals would cause an uproar, and issuing refunds of any sort would be a nightmare. Easier to just accept the bug and lock the hats to the account holder

i hope someone does something similar to this again in the future

Anyone taking advantage of the bug was well aware it was a glitch. Get cucked.

This. Fuck Valve.

So if you still have these old crates can you still unbox unusuals?

nah thats fixed
just hope for them to fuck it up in the future

I don’t have any unusuals because I think they look like shit. I had three over the course of playing tf2 and sold them both (even though one was actually a rare decent-looking one). I sold my entire inventory twice over years ago. You’re just mad that you weren’t able to completely game the system: Why don’t you just enjoy and wear your unusuals? Oh right, you can’t because you just wanted to sell them for profit on the market.

People who wanted unusual got them. Tradefags can't sell those unusuals so their prices will drop down because no demand.

They should go one step further and mark all players who possess one of the illicit hats. Even if they aren't wearing it, they'll have a mark visible to all who play with them signifying that they took advantage of the bug and aren't to be trusted. This will help people make informed decisions about who to votekick on sight and avoid in the future.

Oh so all you want are extra free keys. Yeah go beg to valve more, cuck.

>valve is required to refund the money
Not really. Besides, unusual drop rates are well known to be 1%. People were opening the boxes knowing that the system wasn’t operating correctly and giving them 100% of the time. Just be glad that Valve let you keep them, because if you don’t want an unusual, it just means you wanted to sell them.

Yes really they are. People opening crates knowing they have a 100% rate is irrelevant. It is false advertising and that is all it comes down to. They cannot legally keep the money without being liable for a lawsuit.

Are the unusuals tradable yet? People were saying August 2nd

No, they aren't tradeable. All they say is "Not Usable in Crafting" but they cannot be put into trade offers.
If this is how Valve leaves it, I'll still be happy.

are you like 10? or just baiting? all your fucking drop rates dont matter at all because even valve themselves try their hardest to keep em concealed. customer buys a key, opens a crate and keeps whatever they got as promised. simple as that. theres no hidden rules about your unusuals being revoked if the crate you opened happened to drop them 100% of the time

This

>hurr durr we get to keep the glitch unusuals because it's obviously just what the game intended to give us
Listen to yourself, you're just as delusional as trade trannies. I don't know how volvo could fix any of this shit but honestly believing that you'll get to keep the unusual because "those are the rules" is really pathetic, you don't own shit and valve can remove anything at any time. Of course if that were the case a refund is due for the keys you've bought but that's it. Any other consequence is simply a result of interactions between other people and that's not valve's problem

Attached: file.png (250x360, 89K)

It is pretty much this. Either they stay in the game and can be traded or Valve gives a refund to people who bought keys.

So what do you Traderfags think is more likely? Valve gives up what is probably the most money TF2 has made in years to satisfy traderfags or it just lets the unusuals back into the market?

If you're gud enough, the Detonator for Pyro can open some new routes, since you can sort of "Rocket" Jump with the Detornator.
Using this, the Pyro can reach new spots and areas, really cool for flanking.

The people who sold crates were not the ones responsible for the error nor were they able to take back the things they sold or limit their usage and keep the profits of said sales.

You can delete the hats. I don't fucking care. Valve has to refund the people who bought keys and used them on those crates because otherwise they are in legal trouble. What Valve cannot legally do is make a mistake, reap massive amounts of cash benefits from it, change the terms of sale after the fact and then keep those cash benefits.This has nothing to do with the player economy. That is straight up illegal.

Of course not. Doesn't change the fact it is illegal and if they can't be traded they owe the people refunds for keys.

Believe it or not just having a ToS doesn't allow you to sign over all your rights. Just because they have one doesn't mean they are immune to consumer protection and false advertising laws.

You sure? Aren't the inherent point of keys to open crates? That's not saying you can't trade the items you get in that crate away. I'm sure it would make sense for them to keep them untradeable.
They've given out unsuals that are untradeable, granted its a different thing, but I don't see how its false advertising. Consumer protection is a reach and I don't see anyone taking $5 of value too seriously.
If you spent real money on this hoping to earn a profit, you're not that smart anyway. By the first hour this whole thing was found out, you'd never be able to make one without getting keys from the market or having them left over.

Pretty sure. You were not given the product promised when you originally opened the crate which was implicit with the purchase of a key. At best it is false advertising at worst it is fraud. $5 may not be a lot to a given person but this is how class action lawsuits happen.

>someone here told that
Great, it means nothing.

You're walking down the streets of Teufort when you round a corner to go meet up with your friends at the local pub. Just when you go around the corner you spot him.

A gangily trader sits on the side of the road with his riches beside him. Thousands of dollars of unusuals, keys, and weapons lay around him spilling into the street where with his riches he's been able to bend the traffic around his pile of horded riches. He looks ill under his burning flames Hong Kong Cone, overweight, slobbish, and most of all reeks of insecurity.

"Vaaalve... Take the exploited hats away!" He screams out in a half delusional, half begging plea that sounds like he had something in his throat. The rich slob on the street corner thrashes around like a child spilling a pile of refined from his pockets.

"The market will crash if you don't!" He continues with his rant as he hugs his Cloud 9 Blighted Beak like a child to their teddy bear. You on the other hand simply tip him your new 2.50 Miami Night Valley Forge as you step on his belongings, the value of those items still worth more than both of your kidneys on the black market.

"NRrrRGh! YOU STUPID EXPLOITER!" He screams loudly as he attempts to get up, the his fat cat body disallows him from reaching up anymore. Just like the items in his inventory he is forced to remain in his spot begging for release. He didn't want this life, he just wanted some fun hats, but greed overcame him. He spams on the forums that all exploiters will be banned from Steam, deleted from the platform, or that he hopes they're killed.

By now, you've passed him now and notice a few newer players looking at his items like a flea market. The market may have crashed in that man's eyes, but in everyone else's its only been brought back to a point where it's a real economy. Not some stock market for virtual items.

The true horror of this story is human greed and the power they try to hold themselves to when they realize their gold rush is over.

>look at steam forums

You are Gabe Newell, head of Valve, and you are deciding on a decision to the Unusual Question. You have boiled the possible choices down to a few based on community respond and staff meetings.
Do you
A.
>Make the hats tradeable and marketable again, placating the people who have the hats as well as those who desire the hats but missed out on the event. You will gain more money as sells are made on the community market and placate many at the cost of upsetting traders.
B. Keep it how it is, making those who already have the hats happy but dissapponting those who missed out on the event and want an unusual as well. You will anger traders who will feel your inaction will cause the death of a dying economy.
or C
>Delete the hats from the event, as well as punishing those who participated or rewarding those who didn’t, or even both; incurring the anger of the community, those who participated, those who desire cheap unusuals, but please traders. Remember that you do not profit from unusual trading

A because I have fuck you money and can do whatever the fuck I want. Tradefags may be rich but they won't bother using me because I have enough cash to run them broke before we even get to the courtroom.

If it were me, I'd pick A. But, seeing as I'm Gabe Newell in this scenario, I'd ignore the problem and invest in a new way to maximise the amount of grease one can fit into a meal.

what are some legit raffle sites? scrap?

he pretty much has to make them tradeable again if he doesn't want a class action lawsuit on his hands. there's no winning on a PR standpoint but making them tradeable is the only way to win from a legal one.

People like to compare lootboxes to trading cards a lot. Imagine someone found a warehouse of MTG alpha booster boxes and every single pack had a black lotus in it. this wasn't some new printing run, it was just a factory error from 1993 that suddenly hit the market. Would WOTC be held legally responsible for driving the secondhand market prices down due to an accidental flood?

>every Poker Night item (RIP)
I've still got a giftable copy in my inventory, lol

i see youve finally started taking quality screenshots

I disagree, the PR solution would be to make the hats tradeable. He would be hailed as a man of the people, giving people access to cheap unusuals. Traders will bitch about the value going down but the people buying $5 unusuals don’t care about the price, they care about the looks. Valve also doesn’t profit from normal unusual trading, so releasing them into the market for thousands to buy would be the most profitable option too, which is the only thing Gabe has on his mind besides his 3rd breakfast

>He thinks ~60k is a lot of players

You do know that anything below 500k is seen as low numbers in modern online shooters?

The official wiki says that unboxed Unusuals are to become tradeable, marketable and craftable after a designated wait period. That period is over, but now people are getting an extended hold on items they received through the purchase of a 2-party lottery ticket. If Valve makes people wait this long and decides on anything even slightly punishing in the end you can bet some rich hat-collecting whale or bloodthirsty class action law firm is going to drag them to court, not just in the United States but elsewhere.

>Thermal Thruster sucks

If you use it to go directly upward as high as you can and around a corner, you can easily land in the middle of a crowd and M1 without getting shot down. For that reason alone it has practical use on some maps.

This is the same site that says there are 40k bots despite there being literally no reason to run bots anymore.

61, 82, and 85 had the series 3 effects. i was talking strictly series 1.
that's one of the same screenshots that i used to post with, actually!

I want to do a gray fox or old snake loadout
Any ideas?

There's only one cosmetic that fits metal gear at all and it's so painfully overdone.
