New drop system?

[Black_Hawk]

Well, since valve deployed the new drop system, I've been receiving items more often, it's great, because i never had enough time to "idle" in the past and now I'm about to craft a hat :w00t:, the bad thing is that i haven't receive any stuff since 2 or 3 days so i guess it's because i reached the "maximum amount of playtime per week" they said in the tf2 blog, but the question is. Does anyone know which is that "amount" of time?, so I'll be more careful whit my playtime to not "screw" it the next time.

Also i just play between 2 or 3 hours per day or even less, my playtime stats right now are "28.7 hrs Team Fortress 2 and 39.1 hrs past 2 weeks"

I'll really appreciate any help.

From what I understand, it's approximately 10-15 hours a week.

Hmmm, well i think i could have broken it

I routinely max it out after the weekend. it resets on Thursdays, so tonight or tomorrow morning, you ought to be set again

Meh, stupid new drop system rewards me for playing more than stupid old drop system, but I still play way more than it drops for, so I get plenty of stuff for a couple of days, then none for a few

Who cares, just play. That's what i do, and i let the items come to me.

Y'know I don't know if I'm cursed...but I have got next to nothing IE a couple cloak and daggers, and eyelander and an Ubersaw.....thats it.

I play 1-2 hours every day too....I don't get it

I get about 3 items per play time here and I play about 3 hours a day maybe. I like it, I got my first hat and I'm about to make my second!

Getting hats isn't nearly as fun as trying to make me eat my rockets, is it!!!
You'll get that domination sooner or later if you keep trying! You are getting closer every time!

3 Hours a day, no way you're getting three items per day , at least not after the first few days. I hate the new drop system, the amount of items I'm getting is about a third of what I got before, and I never idled. Oh, and still no random drop hat.

 

[Kini]

I will, I will get that domination! But back time items, that is the rate I got last week(until I met the cap) although it has seemed to gone down so far. Probably because I play on 2fort all the time and never get my items because of stalemate/winning.

ya but at least i actually get items now i would only get 1 thing a month before this update

 

[TheHulk]

You know ive played nonstop for about a week and im still getting iteams...idk lol

Seems perfect to me xD

Im averaging one or more an hour

 

[BvB]

I Have um... 4 items

Lol... so does idling count for the game time?

I play about 1-2 hours every day and I usually end up with one or two items at the end.

Wind, as far as I know, the more you play, the fewer drops happen after a certain amount of time.

Yea, you get a fairly consistent number of items for a certain period of time, then the number drops off dramatically (pretty much to nothing). If you idle/play on maps where there are lots of stalemates or wins, you probably won't get much of anything until after your team loses a round (Say hello to glorious 2 fort , I sometimes go days without a drop, then get 5-10 after one round end when my team loses)

thats becuase of instant respawn it dosnt have time to show you the item till after a round

I have got so many dead ringers with the new drop system... but still no cloak and dagger
