Though this makes it so less people are achievement farming, it's really frustrating that they put out the new way to do things and then they say they'll explain it the next day.  So far I've only recieved the Blutsauger, but was promptly deleted since I didn't need it.  Got it by being backstabbed by another spy.

First off, why would you bother deleting it?

Second, why don't you need it, since it's a straight upgrade from the needlegun?

The crits, man. You forgot the crits!

You mean... the crits on a class that:

1) Barely does damage
2) Barely gets crits
3) Needs to stay alive
4) Does that a fuckload better getting a constant stream of health than praying for a crit stream

So yeah I'm not really seeing your reason for deleting it.

I already have all the previous unlocks.  You get to keep them and you can get doubles with how they do the unlocks now.  I deleted the extra cause it's not necessary to have two of the same one.

Shhh. Just tell him you prefer critting than absorbing health. Everyone does!

FYI: with the Huntsman - pull back as to charge for shot, have friendly pyro ignite you and you now set your target on fire.  (i critted too but i think that was bc it was a headshot)  It's only for that arrow, but you can ignite it then switch wep then switch back and the fire remains. fun fun!

God this update is so frustrating! It's not bad, it just takes too god dang long to get a freaking unlock.

So far I've gotten (In chronological order):
Kritzkrieg
Sandman
Razorback
Another Razorback

AND I WANT THOSE FREAKING SPY WATCHES RIGHT GOD-DANG NOW.

Did you toss the first razorback? Because it might prove my theory that tossing items makes it so you can just get them back, meaning you are all idiots.

Nope, their both still in my loot bag.

Ignoring the messages since the update came out, here's what I got

The Ambassador
Jarate
The Dead Ringer
Another Flaregun.

Actually, I'm rather pleased with the weapons (not how long it took to get them, that sucked). The ambassador is pretty fun to use, seems balanced enough. Jarate is just fun to throw around. I actually heard a jarate'ed spy say "I HAVE BEEN SHOWN.... WHO... IS THE BOSS!". But my favorite so far has got to be The Dead Ringer. It's hilarious going up to an enemy as a friendly engie, dieing from the first shot only to come back on behind their engie, stab him and sap the sentry. Hell, it's just fun messing with people's heads.

The maps were pretty cool too. The race map is a lil iffy, I didn't care much for sawmill that much, but nucleus was every bit as awesome as I thought it'd be. It's the first arena map really built for 12v12 servers, unlike the clusterfuck that happends with that many players.

Overall, I think it's one of the best updates yet. Sure, the weapon distribution is wonky, and the hats are nowhere to be seen, but that'll be fixed soon... hopefully.

[ribozyme]

Other than the race map being a bit of a disappointment and the horrible unlock system, not a bad update

...also jarate kinda screws over directX8 ppl as it is now =/
yes, this is really what it looks like when I get hit by the stuff

[Badgerman of DOOM]

The hats are also supposed to be "random drops."

[KorJax]

I can't decide which is worse.

The old unlock system where you farmed achievements and didn't really *play the game* as intended to get them but they still were a reward and a goal to get the unlocks, or the new one where it's completely random and (in my theory) rewards you more for doing worse than doing something you want to be doing.

i got two blutsagers last night
i still think the old way was worse

[fyre]

Why would you get two of the same weapon?

[Badgerman of DOOM]

Because Valve's random drop method is retarded.

[Surf314]

I can't wait till they make a blog post explaining WTF it even is.

Lululululul.  Only one I'd really bother wearing is the Soldier one.

[Maxon]

I like the Soldier and Sniper one.
