So are tradefags gonna get dabbed on or what
Benjamin Hall
Post yfw you missed The Great Glitch of Twenty Six
Carson Rogers
Sucks I was taking a break from Yea Forums when this happened, totally missed it. I really wanted some kind of unusual since I have so many hours on the game. Fuck.
Oliver Richardson
Everyone did. Moralfags get stitches, but most of them wanted to get a rare hat for not getting a cheap unusual Now their gullable selves are suffering from it
I knew that this would happen, because there is no possible way Valve would giveaway cheaters lament to people who did nothing for the sake of the hat. Cheaters lament was originally a hat given to people who didn't use 3rd party programs to get hats, but this time it's Valve's own fault, but they don't have to be oblaged to give anyone a shiny hat for nothing Where's people who did get the unusual hat legit that day, like the new summer crate, would have to roll back to what they legit unboxed or keep em in place, which is why all unusuals unboxed 1st get tradable and rest remain untradable, it's nice for both sides, legit players and exploited players and people paid money for those, while with idling with 3rd party programs, it was basically getting a free hat for doing nothing
>my decision not to open virtual boxes was selfless, now please praise and reward me for my efforts to save tf2 The utter delusion of that lad, reminds me of son of dob's "I saved the movies, why don't I feel like a hero" comic

So did unusual prices go down?
Justin Cooper
unusuals being made tradable will be done later in the week when the site for the refunds go up
Joshua Sanders
Haven’t played TF2 in years and didn’t unbox any unusuals but I’m glad traders are getting owned
Oliver Garcia
Shut up, whore
Nicholas King
Same for me. Clowns living a sufferable world
Aiden Cox
Only glitched unusuals that were unboxed before this shit show exploded.

Dominic Stewart
>Says nothing for crate sellers CRATE CHAD GANG
Kevin Murphy
I mean, they did keep them in their inventories and had them dropped or bought before the update legit, so nothing really stops them from selling them if they want so
Logan Gomez
even if it's just one hat that's still a lot to affect the prices if people opt to dump them into market
Justin Russell
why would they whine over a terrible looking hat anyway, and i bet it's gonna be untradeable too so even more worthless
>tfw all the good first unusual you unboxed is some trash Fuck me, guess I’m getting a refund on the fucking series 1 hats I got if I cant trade them for a Scout one

IT GETS EVEN FUCKING WORSE???? IF I DON'T WANT THEM I GET A FULL REFUND???? AAHHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOO
Metric shit-tons of people would've gotten one if Valve went ahead with something silly like that and there is absolutely no way to obtain one without Valve granting it. To most players it's a relic they've only read about on the TF2 wiki.
How is it any fair at all that I had to spend 500 keys for my unusual, and you clowns only had to spend 1 for yours?
Dylan Ramirez
Why the fuck would people who didn't open the crates get a cheaters lament? Comparing crate openings to idle server usage would be night and day, and it would only devalue the item. Fuck traders.
Logan Morgan
life ain't fair, get used to it
Levi Campbell
exactly. I started playing around 2 months after the whole Cheaters Lament thing. I remember the classic old system before trading. When they added trading, F2P and Crates, the game really started to decline with updates to improve the game and fix bugs (some bugs still not fixed for years) while the cosmetic items became the main focus. Its sad really. The first ever item I found when I was a new player was a Scouts Tossle Cap. I remember the whole server going on mic and saying WOAH HE FOUND A HAT. It was a massive thing back then It went vintage
Benjamin Robinson
First cosmetic drop i've gotten was only after i Uber update, where game became F2P, which made me disappointed once i found out it was just a promo hat for people who paid for the game
They think a few bugged crates for less than one day is akin to the mass rampant idling via readily-accessible 3rd party programs that plagued the game for months. It's not. It really is not. At all.
Henry Lee
Doesnt matter anyway, the game already full of metalfarming bots, which is no different.

Funny thing about the original cheater's lament was getting it despite using idle servers all the time. The idler was pretty much just being an idle server in text mode.

Xavier Cruz

Hudson Anderson
Are they tradable already? Why aren't the market prices dropping? Valve said it's only a month's worth but I was hoping the flood would drop the prices a bit.
Grayson Wilson
>First unusual I got goes for about $70, and I bought it off the market for $5 >Also bought a Law with the disco effect I'm going to refund everything but these two and dab on trade trannies
Charles Torres
They'll be tradeable in a week. Market prices might lower, but probably not by a lot. Essentially every single person that did this exploit gets to keep ONE hat that can be traded/sold. So the actual number of unusuals being sold on the market won't be nearly as much as on the glitched night
Colton Rogers
only the first unboxed unusual on each account is tradeable, the rest will be locked to the account, but you can get a refund for the keys and crates used to unlock them
Dylan Sanders
So that means if i bought only 1 unusual, i get to trade it?
I have a bunch of burning and scorching garbage hats that I figured I could sell off to fags with no taste But Im refunding them now because they're worthless because I cant sell them now and I dont even like them. I can always sell my first garbage unusual and rake in some profit.
Michael Carter
Nice. Risking everything paid off Get fucked, tradecucks
Man, I wish I bought more shit now. How are Valve going to cope with some of the monster traders getting a full refund on 1000+ bucks worth of transactions, while also leaving all the money in the accounts of the dudes who sold them crates and keys?
That's a lot of fucking money to spend for the sake of the TF2 economy.
Tyler Williams
I'm regretting not camping the unusual team captain page and picking up one of the ones that sold for $30, just to shit all over the traders who value it so highly

Logan Ross
Only a small amount of people bought the hats at the time, they just bought such a huge amount. So only a small portion of the people who play the game were able to secure cheap unusuals

Why did people think Valve would hand them a special hat for not opening the glitched crates?
Nathan Thomas
because they are seething over not getting a free unusual
>stopped playing TF2 and sold all of my items years ago >kinda had the itch to play after that but having no bling to show off made me rethink everytime >the crate depression happens >unusuals are almost worthless at this point I'm coming back, gibuschads
You fags won't believe me until I'm done but, there's a way to unbox any hat that isn't a misc as an unusual, the effect is random but, it can be literally any unusual effect, except for world traveler's exclusive effect (I think?) I'll wait for the right moment to tell how it's done.
People who are asking for a free hat are just salty they didn't unbox
I'm salty because I assumed that valve would delete the glitched stuff and didn't unbox, I find it fucking hilarious and baffling that basically said "abuse any exploit that appears in the economy" and the only people who lost are those who didn't abuse it.
>I'm salty because I assumed that valve would delete the glitched stuff and didn't unbox But why would you not unbox? If Valve doesn't delete the hat you have a free unusual. If Valve does delete the hat then you've cleared some inventory space by getting rid of the crate. It's a win-win.
Carson Cruz
Stop lying in the internet
Chase Richardson
I was asleep and had work when I woke up
I saw the chaos when I got up but just assumed that either A. Everything would stay on the market and the economy will crash, get a bunch of cheap stuff, or B. Valve reverts/deletes everything

Gabriel Turner
i have the right to get slightly upset at this because i wasn't anywhere near my pc when this went down and i think the halo looks nice
Jaxon Taylor
This, it would literally cost them nothing. The item is already in the game, it takes minimal effort to give away and it will make a large amount of people happy.

Reminder that tradefags gets autistically butthurt when people DARE tell them to stop interrupting the gameplay by trading hats instead of playing the fucking game. Tradefags deserve this humiliation.

they mention that there was a massive spike in unboxing. They should've let anyone who unboxed something before the spike keep it, but everyone else after the spike gets rectified.
Chase Cooper
So did anyone here unbox anything worth a damn on their first or is it all killawatts and dead presidents?
Christian Rogers
I guess this counts as a general tf2 thread so does anyone have the webm of the THICC pyro crashing the game with the gas blast taunt?
think most people didnt have a series 1 crate and played it safe, so yeah its all garbage

Including your hat
Sebastian Harris
They were tacky, because they were expensive for some shit particle effects. 5$ was nice to get a hat with extra particles Unusuals are just overpriced, cheapest being bloody 20 bucks
Question tho, which gen effects are better? Gen 1, 2 or 3?
IMHO, Gen 2 sucks and Gen 3 are kinda nice, Gen 1 is overrated

Camden Carter
Gen 2 is alright, Gen 3 is fucking garbage and Gen 1 is (mostly) flashy af which is the whole point. Halloween effects are messy, the robot one has some good ones, all EoTL ones are good, and Invasion has Nebula which is on par with high tier gen 1 effects

Luke Campbell
I always thought it was a shitty hat. I remember some days before the whole fiasco happened, some guy with Cheater's Lament and a 2010 looking loadout entered the match in Hightower I was in and some zoomers started to flip their shit out in the chat.
>Reddit seriously compares an exploit related to virtual cosmetic pixels to actual gamebreaking shit like unreachable sentry spots Tradefags really are fucking mental, man.
pricefixing and metalfarming since it's f2p valve could make the entire thing crash and burn if they made regular keys craftable with metal. And it wouldnt hurt their economy since most crates people unbox are cosmetic and event cases anyway. They actually did consider this at one point, but it hasnt been mentioned since.
Lucas Miller
honestly surprised they haven't made a key you could craft but the rewards were shit
Ryan Morris
Making craftable keys would be the final nail in the coffin for tradekeks, I support it
Nolan Ward
Yeah, but they abandoned that idea alongside with everything else they worked on. Balancing the weapons, Cactus Canyon/Robot Destruction, the comics etc.
Anthony Baker
It wouldnt be the final nail, it would just stabilize the economy since we would have a metal/key standard. Tradetrannies would just up the prices in keys, but there would definitely be a pricefall over time as more unusuals are unboxed.
Evan Flores
tell me right now or spooky will show up in your house tonight
But then you also have to realize that Netherlands and Belgium have anti-gambling laws, and it would still fall under that category
Lincoln Murphy
Holy fuck, I don't know why but I fucking love miami lights
Jose Johnson
Valve only made it so they cant unbox, Dutch and Belgian players can still possess the keys and crates.
Chase Howard
So do i. Sometimes Unusuals are so flashy, they reveal your general location fast and make you a prime-target. Miami nights is colorful, but barely visible and the animation is great, so only way enemies can see your unusual is if it's a spy or demoknight, or a killcam

Because my expensive hats are magnets for seething faggots like you. I love killing people and then having them comment on how pathetic I am for buying a hat. And then I make fun of them for being poor.
Nolan Wilson
Because I enjoy the game more than any other out there, and owning an unusual seems like a cool concept to some people. It's not rocket science, stop playing dumb.
Parker Powell
If i gotta be honest, Tf team should make a promo item similar to cheaters lament, but not cheaters lament itself They might release it in maybe 2 or 3 months, maybe later, because they might make a new hat for that, which they distribute it to everyone who didn't participate in the event or played during the event without having any glitched unusuals I mean, Lament was released 4 months after Idling was discovered, so i wouldn't be surprised if Valve did so this time aswell
Why do people give so much of a fuck about stupid hats in an FPS game. I genuinely don't understand
Adam Barnes
The only thing that happened were people that were mass selling and buying crates triggered something that gave them a suspension because it was suspicious. Most got it instantly removed when they explained they hadn't got hacked.
They invested into them like bitcoins. Shit is like $2k a pop. They try to justify the prices with “rarity” but it’s just an excuse to use the tf2 market as a bootlegged stock market for nothing
Nathan Garcia
what even is this guys point
do i aswell start to post shit like this when i have no friends anymore
Jace Jones
Nobody "invested" in TF2 hats, they only go down in value because more of them are constantly introduced to the game while the playercount goes further and further down with each passing year. People trade them in the short term to make money. The only people who got actually BTFO where cosmeticfags.
Leo Hill

Wyatt Sanders
lmao thats my account!
Kevin Baker
This is pure bullshit. All the hat should be tradable. Valve fucking break the law to save their precious traders from committing suicide.
And the people crying for Valve's head aren't junior lawyers now? No, an average court would probably consider the first unusual being legitimate and all others being refundable to be an acceptable margin-of-error and appropriate compensation.
The case gets thrown out the very moment Valve brings up the item was obtained using a glitched success-rate for their crate items, on paper you're more than getting the better end of the deal with their terms over the ordeal.
Daniel Diaz
wait a sec.. What if I sold my 1st unusual hat to upgrade to a better one? I guess I will not be able to trade any of my hats?
Chase Brooks
valve can't prove it was glitched because the probability to get unusual is never revealed
Jackson Bennett
No one's going to sue Valve over at most a couple thousand dollars, especially when Valve's solution was so generous to begin with
Gavin Gonzalez
Valve can prove it was glitched with a 100% success-rate on certain items before those items were manually modified. The entire method of acquisition relies on some crates being glitched, you'll have a hell of a time trying to keep your hats without lying about how you got them.
Grayson Perez
>keep saying i'll take a break >continue to play everyday i'm in too deep
Matthew Davis
>Valve can prove it was glitched with a 100% success-rate on certain items before those items were manually modified.
how?
Hudson Morgan
The fact that there was a 100% rate at all, the odds of all those players getting all those hats within the normal mathematical probability of the unusual system are infinitesimally small and the use of certain crate series removes any shadow of a doubt.
Ian Gonzalez
The same way they found out which hats were unboxed and trade-locked them within hours. The item server logs stuff like that.
Carson Brooks
are you fucking retarded? someone manually changed the unusual chance to be 100% for those crates. there was no bug
Aaron Green
It's on you to prove that was an intentional move on their part, and going so far as to offer refunds on almost all hats (with the ones they're not refunding being treated as legitimate unboxes) does more than suggest it was not. "Dude yes it was" is not evidence that holds up.
i don't have to prove anything, the premise is that valve sold me hats and they altered them without any valid reason
Xavier Garcia
Fucking laffing at moralfags. This is what you get when you take a fucking videogame too seriouslly
Sebastian Martin
>the premise is that valve sold me hats And here's where you get blown the fuck out in court once Valve's lawyers work their hat-magic and establish what they did and why. "but your honor they have LITERALLY no reason if you ignore why they did that"

Practice practice practice. Go into no-stakes competitive servers if you want to improve fast. The "how it feels" class videos by LazyPurple are very good as general video-guides or what mindset is appropriate for each class despite LazyPurple himself being a memelord with friendly servers up, Doctor Lalve's class-guide videos are good for the same purpose.

Splash range is the same as always, but the other versions of jarate and mad milk can be thrown farther distances due to models used and source physics. pay2win

I just want a new weapon. Valve, just add some of the community workshop. I don't fucking care which, just anything that adds more substance to gameplay and playstyle.
that's too good of an idea, so they'll never implement it.
Angel Perry
I just want to know how bad does this hurt trade fags? Yeah they kinda prevented the economy going to shit but that still means people got unusuals for less money and that hurts traders because less demand when people already have one, even when it's not marketable.
And how do refunds work exactly? I guess they will be giving free wallet funds because I don't see them taking the money from the pocket of the seller.

Stock is still most valuable as general-purpose but you can get all weapons for a refined, two refined tops
Ethan Smith
scrap tf can do that, scraps all of your extra weapons
Tyler Lee
Stock is always the most reliable, maybe outside of Medic. Other than that, the ones you get from achievements.

what hud is this?

Can someone point out which is the best Medi-gun? I've been playing for years, solely using stock, but I've heard that the Kritzkreig is a better deal overall.
Jack Allen
>custom HUD that restored main-menu flavor text like "Beat your own best record as [class]" went up in flames >died because Valve removed all of the code related to it for the matchmaking UI update, not because of the author's fault
Are you me? I sold all my shit a week before this happened
Bentley Jackson
I was too slow to get any unusuals and I don't understand the salt. Come on, man. It's fucking ones and zeroes.

Why do people think traders will suffer some huge loss from this? Hat prices are based on two things:
>sales made >votes on new price
"Sales made" is the catalyst, if someone successfully pays more or less for a hat and the pricers decide to bring it up they'll discuss adjusting its cost. Hats don't drop in price if nobody ever buys it. If that was the case stuff like Burning Team Captain would have dropped tremendously, but it's still worth 6000 keys (or $12000) officially.
As for voting, thats what keeps the people who occupy the furry hat mafia in charge. You can provide 10 sales of a hat and demonstrate without a doubt that the price has risen or fallen, but if enough members of the clique don't own that hat, they can simply downvote your suggestion and the price won't change. People have already suggested hat prices eek down because of this unboxing drama and the response was to summarily ban those outsiders from the site. Then the hat price didn't change.
The unusual prices wont change if the people who sell them don't want it to. There's still nearly a decade of unusual = prestige in the eyes of their biggest buyers (stupid naive children with mom's credit card), and the topic of unusuals has only gotten more prominent thanks to this bug. Traders always win because they always capitalize on everything, and wall out whatever isn't profitable.
i didnt sell my shit, i still have my whole inventory. i just dont buy any more shit like dyes, taunts and other shit, just tour of duty tickets which i can use to recycle money and infinitely play mann up until possibly getting an australium weapon. cuz im poor i just got myself the witch's crone painted team color, gray sunglasses and the bandana painted white. although it doesnt look the best for everyone, its still just my own unique set of all class cosmetics which i dont see anyone using.

On attack, uber is more useful to break through their defenses. Kritz is good for attack to mow down their advance and push them back. Quick-Fix is good to make sure everyone on your team is up as long as possible but the uber is basically just a really fast heal. Vaccinator can be a pubstomper if you know how to use it and the other team doesn't know how to counter it. I tend to prefer the standard Medi-Gun since the uber is useful in all situation.
can anyone answer me????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Only Valve has that much power. If Valve were to say something like "Unusuals from before X date are now untradable, unmarketable" then you'd see these cunts panic. I just wonder how they actually make money. Who the fuck is paying that much money for a fucking hat. Even if I suddenly became a billionaire I wouldn't spend several thousands on a hat.
Aaron Butler
>I just wonder how they actually make money. I figured the engine behind their profit is inpart telling people to become traders themselves, traders advice usually goes: "buy 26 keys for your first unusual and trade up"
Jacob Lewis
People who are autistic as fuck, that's who. Spending hundreds if not thousands of dollars on a dead game to get a digital hats with a "really rare" effect so you can flex on other autismos is honestly a mental illness.

What keeps this shit alive is the idea that you can always "cash out" as in there are third party sites where you can get your real money back. It's also why Valve hasn't cracked down on it enough and only do when others bring it up to them that they should because it's this perception of "real world" value that keeps it going. Valve knows this. Like sure you can buy a car but you can sell it too. Sometimes you even make a profit on the model you bought, sometimes you lose some, but hey you got to drive that car and make use of it for some time. Same here, except even better when some things rise in value some people actually make profit and invest in them. Like crypto for gamers. The second it becomes impossible to turn it into real money I don't see people being as willing to sink in 7K or 2K real money into something that can only be sold back for funny money you can only use on Steam. Sure some rich Chinese folk or other Whales with deep pockets would still be willing to do it, but you can't sustain a whole economy just on them, you need chumps selling middle level things and trading up so that there is a pyramid you can inflate. It's the third party black market that keeps it going.
what series is this? I keep seeing this girl posted on Yea Forums. i want to watch it.

For real, I'm trying to start a real TF2 thread, 2 of the 3 on the catalog don't even have TF2 pictures in the OP
Gabriel Gray
Remember when the Huo Long Heater's flames didn't consume ammo?
Asher Bailey
I dunno, considering there's over 400 replies talking about TF2 in this thread I'd say he succeeded. I'd say the only failure here is your failure to not be a faggot.
But unusuals are ugly as fuck though what’s the point of buying them
Blake Adams
>go to backpack.tf to get some weapons >see what else they're trading >fucking steam cards >mfw played over 200 games for less than a dollar and have at least 3 cards from each
I'm gonna lay the fact down SMACK down on this bullshit.
Valve did not "reward" us ebul exploiters who profit off the tears of the poor armchair stockman. No they fucking did not.
They went with this decision because people went really, really, REALLY, R E A L L Y, far with this exploit. It wasn't just "I'm gonna sell my crate for $5 each" and the person who had it goes "Oh wowweee gee wilickers mr wilson, I got muh first unusual, i need nothning else!"
No, they sold those unusuals on the market and marketplace.tf
Or, they went further, putting $100 in on getting crates and keys and getting unusuals, thereby "boosting" the value of their TF2 Backpack. They then went on to sell their backpacks for hundreds or more in cold cash on paypal, before quitting TF2.
This solution is the ONLY way Valve could have solved everything, or else piss a group or more enough for legit lawsuits. What else could Valve do about the influx of money they recieved, OR got put outside of their jurisdiction via Paypal? How would deleting unusuals solve anything? Let alone getting some shitty looking halo?
These mother fuckers have no idea how Humility really works.
