TF2 Engineer update incoming?

Only 5 more for the next update! Come on all you people not at work today, hurry up so I have something to read and salivate over.

Please god, give Engies back the rail gun pistol. Or, the ability to levitate glitch sentries again (a la TFC).

I am thinking that the pistol slot weapon might not be for attacking, aka bonk for the scout class.

A small land mine would be nice :D

I'd imagine the engie won't be getting anymore weapons but rather alternative pdas/buildables. I'm looking forward to a sentry on wheels MAYBE.
 
Ah well, got about 15 crafts out of my meager collection, and nothing. I did end up making the Scottish Resistance though, which I've wanted for a while.

Imma go play some, see if I can get some good drops. Damn, every time I stop playing for a while, a new update comes along and gets me back in. Not that I'm complaining :D

The scottish Resistance is my go to sticky launcher, I like having control over my bombs especially when protecting an engie nest on payload maps, which is all I play really :lol

I'd love to have EMPs back if Valve was thinking about getting rid of the grenade limitation.

Make 'em cookable too!
 
The drop system infuriates me sometimes. I swear I've gotten about eight Flare Guns and Equalizers, six Backburners, four or five K.G.Bs, but I've never ever ever gotten a Cloak and Dagger, the one item that I really want and the one item that is hardest to craft (since you need 3 Dead Ringers for the slot token)

I'd always envisaged something along those lines; "Firewall". Like a landmine, only if you step on it it fires a jet of fire straight upwards...
 
I'm still pissed that I discarded a shit ton of weapons because I didn't understand why I would ever need so many dupes. I was late to crafting because I had little to work with after the great weapons purge of 2009.

Why don't you just go to an achievement server and get enough to unlock it?

Same here. It was a bad combination of limited space before they increased it and not having any idea crafting was coming down the road. I wonder if they've given up on allowing trades?
 
46 was found, rather sure the time difference between 45 and 46 was a few hours now.

*edit*

Maybe they lied on their blog and they do release them in batches.

Weird. But oh well. I'm out of items to craft and got my last items from idling earlier today. My chances are gone.

(I won't craft my hats. ;_;)

A thread on the official steam forum seems to be saying that the item loot cap has been reset / turned off, you might be lucky this week :D

Hmm. I did get 14 items total from idling, instead of the usual ~7 a week. Capndrake was telling me item drops accumulate per week if you don't play, but I then proceeded to get absolutely zero items for the next four hours.

Maybe I will jump back in and see what happens. U:

Regardless: THREE MORE UNTIL NEXT BLOG POST

You got 14 items from idling in one day?

Seven yesterday (including one hat) and seven more this morning when I checked if I had gotten anything else while sleeping.
 
You get seven a week, generally, if you play enough. Once you reach that limit you have to wait until the counter resets to zero on (I think) Thursday-ish.

As I said, I haven't been playing lately and apparently the drops accumulate. And Diablohead is saying they've turned off the limit but... I dunno. I haven't gotten anything at all since this morning.

That was over... at least 16 hours of idling, I think. So, yeah.

I've hit 14 as well, 11 overnight and 3 today. Not had another in hours.

I haven't played that much recently and I've never idled before.

Edit: Just got my 15th.

Only need one if you create a slot token (any) and then Rebuild Slot Token

So you could do 3 of those Flare Guns, then use one Dead Ringer to rebuild the token into a PDA one.
 
I'd scrap all my stuff for a chance at the wrench and slowly earn it back if I still didn't have a bunch of the odd-leveled stuff from way way back. A golden wrench would be pretty cool, but I'm not sure it's worth my level 69 jar of urine.

Levels don't mean shiiiiiiiiit~!
 
The wrench drops have slowed because everyone has already crafted all their shit in a frenzy to get the gold wrench. Most people don't have anything left to craft. :lol
 
Yeah I don't even know if I ever had weird-level items. I never bothered to check cause I just didn't care. U:

It is quite possible that they did that.

If this is true then I am going to be able to get a Heavy hat that much faster.

Valve could get off their ass and release the update. Then the actual gameplay would change instead of items begetting items. They don't make any promises because they likely couldn't keep them.
