Is there anyway of seeing how many item drops I've had?

200 hours of TF2 in the last 2 weeks (Lot's of idling), wouldn't mind knowing how many items I got during that time.

Pretty sad how everyone wants this goddamn hats although they do nothing in terms of gameplay. It just lengthens your e-peen.

Yes, I do also idle

I dont leave my PC turned on during the night though ;P

Why would you idle? Don't you have all the weapons already? Think about the environment when you just leave your comptuer on :/

Am i really the only one that doesn't care about those hats?

I got this SteamStats idle thing running for 2 weeks, result:

-items-

AND STILL NO HATS!
You can enable logging in the idler config file if u are using

Good thing I'm not using that programm, because it seems to bring no hats at all.

I'll just be patient.

Nope... I have deleted 3 hats so far.

Someone who idles for 2000 hours is much more likely to get a hat than someone who plays for 200 hours.

I've found around 50 items in 110hours past 2 weeks. So do the maths We want hats Spike. There are a lot more energy consuming devices at the house than a PC

Unless you set it to log your items in settings.txt (assuming you're using the SourceOP thing), then no. I've been running that thing constantly for days to no avail.

Think about the environment when you just leave your comptuer on :/ I save that energy by using Low Energy Lightbulbs No but seriously, the computer uses hardly anything compared to lots of other appliances, such as fridge/freezers/kettles/heating. I would moan at valve if I were you, I never left it on overnight before other than to download, which was rarely.

^^ I think the exaggeration might be a slight overkill on that one. In that last 12 days I've had a rate of 0.73 items per hour so that means I have received approximately 145 items during that time :/ Can't really extrapolate that since I think they changed the item drop rate, 2 months ago it was at around 0.95/hour, or I have had a rather unlucky drop rate in the last 200 hours of idling :3

xD I don't want the 'cool' hats (which ever they are), I want the silly ones. I suppose it's more about me being a jealous person, since some people already have 3+ hats where-as the rest have 0. Personally I think valve should've let me do a better drop rate formula, because their formula is crap :u

Waste not, want not.

I got an idle thingy working on another player, just incase it gets my main steam account band. All I want is the bonk hat. I really want the bonk hat. I have no idea why though.

you could have waited till 2012 when they update tf2 with the item swapping function and sold them on ebay.

yeah the drop rate for the hats seems really low. I want hats but not leaving my computer running on idle just to get them, cant do it any good.

ands its pointless too, it does not dramatically change the odds.

I don't see how you can say that, because the more times you have the chance to get it (even if the chance does not change each time), you still have more chance overall. Because each weapon drop is a roll and you get a tiny percent chance to get a hat, so getting that chance more than someone else makes you more likely to get a hat. Someone who idles for 2000 hours is much more likely to get a hat than someone who plays for 200 hours.

I really don't think that is the case. yes you are on longer but the percentage drop for hats is so low, you have about as much chance as someone who logs into one of our games for 5mins. Plus if the last post is correct, then everyones timers will be off by when they first launced the game with the new updated code.

You have just as much chance per cycle as someone who plays for 10% of your time spent playing, but you get 10 times more of those cycles, so the chance of you having an item is greater... It's how statistics works, it won't be like that for everyone in a small community like this, but if you collected the data from everyone playing TF2 it would work out like that (unless the TF2 drop system is messed up). Idling increases the amount of cycles you can get, hence a better overall chance of getting a hat (since you won't be playing all day, where-as you can idle all day). I didn't explain it very well last time, the quote should read: [SpA]Minimoose! wrote: Someone who idles for 2000 hours is much more likely to have a hat than someone who plays for 200 hours. Using the last post that means someone idling for 2000 hours gets a bit less than 500 1.1% chances to get a hat, where-as person playing for 50 hours gets a bit less than 50, so there is obviously more chance for the 2000 hour person to have a hat.

Supposedly you only need to idle for 125 hours before theoretically speaking you have 100% chance of a hat, of course this is statistical so it could go to 1000+ hours without getting one, which is rather silly.
