Idling ??

[Korgot]

Hey guys,
Anyone noticed that every item that you find out while idling dosn't go higher than level 10 ? I was jsut wondering since I found that it was weird.

[Zero711]

So you CAN find hats idling. Now I must idle even more. Yes, it seems they are all the standard level weapons up to level 15 (Sandman), and I guess the hats have no standard level.

 

[Sir]

about 1000 hours of idling and one hat. It's a football helmet, which I don't want because it's just stupid.

 

[Low on Petro]

I haven't found any hats idling so far, now I gotta try! lol.

 

[batterytime]

That's just because ANY weapons you get now aren't random levels any more. You can only get the original, low level weapons, meaning any high level "glitch" weapons are now rare.

I for one have a level 99 sandvich and am happy for that. I now go NOM NOM NOM much happier.

 

[SScagnetti]

Psh, idlers. I earn my hats the legitimate way!

 

[OSVG]

This thread was to ask a question about item levels not to debate idling. Please do not throw this off topic.
------
As of the classless update, all weapon no longer have random levels regardless of how you get them. I think that hats do still get random levels; however, I could be mistaken. As battery time said. non main stream lvled item are a rarity.

 

[Major Payne]

Why did they change it? Are they just postponing it until they release actual differences between the levels?

 

[OSVG]

I think valve was just trolling everyone who said it's becoming a MMO. They just wanted to get back at all those people complaining; however, I wouldn't put it past valve to do something with item levels later.

I've also heard that it was just an error in scripting or random drops that made different leveled items. Although looking through patch notes, it does not address that change in different level items

None of this is from a reliable source, but that's what i've learned from hearsay

[Burning Shadow]

No idling but many hours and still no hat of any sort.

I have a question about idling, and I just started to idle. Is it possible to play a non-steam game, or another steam game/mod while SteamStats is active? Thanks in advance.

Kunai, I wouldn't take the chance so I would recommend playing games that are in no way connected to steam.

as long as it isn't TF2 you can play it, but I'm not so sure about mods. I play CoD, DoD, CSS, Racing games, ect. So yes, you can play other games while running idle.
