I checked my case today for what items were in there, and to my surprise, all hats have been removed. Anyone els noticed the same? |

No - Valve only removed the hats that were received by people because of the "item-spam bug". I think they might not have done so for everybody (because they're noobs ;-) and people reported that they had e.g. one or two hats left after this - perhaps as a consolation price. |

I found a single hat so far and I've sworn to myself that I wouldn't play TF2 properly until I found the second one. So far after two weeks of idling (not 24/7 but still) I haven't even come close to finding the second hat. ;-) |

Again, to remind everybody. The chance of finding a hat is around 4% at each item check. According to someone's calculations you need 16 straight days of gameplay/idling to achieve a probability higher than 50% of having received a hat by then. 16 days! |

I haven't found any hats either but removing the hats off the people that got them is a really stupid thing to do. It was not their fault, they did not exploit anything, it was Valve's fucked up system. It would've been much better if they would've said "hey, we gave you guys a fucked up system. Sorry, but we're working on it. We know some people got all the hats because of a bug but we can't remove them off them since it was our fault so, here, we're giving everyone the chance to get one hat for free, for his favourite class, just pick one and you'll have it in your inventory by tomorrow. Hope this makes up for the, again, fucked up system." |

Yes it was valve fuckup and they cleared it the only possible way, of course if they removed any properly unlocked hat thats gay, but for sure they will remain rare

Since 0.96^17 ~= 0.5 (96% of not getting, after 17 checks the chance you won't get anything is about 50%) that would mean the drop check is once a day ... I would say it's more often, but the probability is much much less.16 days! I'm running the steamstats thing all the time and no hats

Ah, sorry, yes, the chance is not 4%, it's 0.4%. Or close to that. ^^ Here's the link to the math one guy did: http://www.sourceop.com/modules.php?nam ... 0394#20394 |

Got one hat in about 200 hours, so second one probably in about 250 hours :/ |

Tbh counting idle time for that drop calculation is just silly. I bet this will be changed in the next patch, it's just something they didn't think of first. Maybe they'll even remove the items people got while idling. Maybe they have a way to differentiate idling and playing, but are not currently using it. |

According to the statistics of the fake idle rogram, the chance of finding a hat is 0,05% and ~5% for usual stuff. |

These numbers are meaningless. Does this mean, my chances to find an item within one hour are at 5%, or what?

The odds of finding an item are actually increasing with time methinks and the item-tick is every 25 minutes AFAIK. |

Problem is, it can be set up in infinite ways. Reduce intervals, reduce chance and it'll look the same. We could use logs from steamstats and find some common lowest interval in the times but it's still just a guess and only valve knows the real numbers.

Yeah, people from the SteamStats program are trying to figure out the system - so far they have these stats: http://www.sourceop.com/modules.php?nam ... pic&t=1627 |

Yes, I've seen that, but it only shows that when it comes to the drop (which we can't really predict) there's just a 0.44% chance of getting a hat

| Post subject: | Re: no more hats? |
The SteamStats thingie logs the time you receive items and given the minimum interval anybody received an item and the average amount of time they have extrapolated that the item ticks must be around every 25 minutes but yes, it's still guesswork. |
