My favorite new achievement:

Quote

Slash and Burn: Backstab an enemy, who then switches to Pyro before they respawn.

I wish I could get an indicator every time that happened, instead of just the first time.

Rumor now is that you don't have to even kill anyone to get items.

You don't even have to be on a team.

YOU CAN GET DROPS FROM SPECTATING.

oh man it's going to be the return of the hopping bots in the afkave

Come to think of it I've seen an awful lot of AFKers tonight. That's probably what they're doing.

Don't they realize you can start your own server from the main menu?

In fact, you know what? Fuck this noise. *click* *start server* *spectate*

...ha ha ha I chose random map and got Balloon Race.

I AM THE CAPTAIN OF MY OWN LITTLE DIRIGIBLE

WHEEEEEEE

You guys should keep us posted on your success AFKing, and then I'll probably jump in on that myself. Or maybe I should do it before Valve "fixes" that option.

Mongrel · « **Reply #129 on:** May 22, 2009, 03:01:36 AM »

Is it time-based? Do you just hang around and items just start appearing?

Brentai · « **Reply #130 on:** May 22, 2009, 03:05:53 AM »

I think I managed to kill nobody on the life when I got the Sandvich, so that does sort of corroborate the theory.

I actually got it during respawn time, though, so I'm not sure if idling, or at least idling as spectator will work. Idling as a character through a round might.

Then again it may be based on the amount of rounds played, meaning: number of times you die. That would be hilarious(ly stupid).

ORRRR it could just be that each drop has some obscure set of requirements depending on damage done, damage received, weapon used, mouse speed setting and alignment of Taurus to Jupiter.

In the interest of SCIENCE though I'm going to go to bed and keep idling as Spectator on an empty LAN server, just to see if that stupid shit really works.

If the other updates have been any indication, half of each team is going to be spies and snipers. Finally, groups of people who will be even more vulnerable to scout rushes.

Please let us know whether this works. I wouldn't mind just leaving the forts running while I do something else.

Brentai · « **Reply #134 on:** May 22, 2009, 08:56:41 AM »

Didn't seem to do anything, but I didn't have time this morning to dick around as an actual guy and see if I get a torrent of unlocks the first time someone crockets me.

Mongrel · « **Reply #135 on:** May 22, 2009, 09:57:58 AM »

My wife just called. She said I got the Cloak and Dagger while spectating. So that's confirmed.

I don't think it works while I'm alone on the server though, only while other people are actually playing.

yyler · « **Reply #136 on:** May 22, 2009, 10:00:51 AM »

Apparently if you backstab a spy using the Dead Ringer, he doesn't die.

yyler · « **Reply #137 on:** May 22, 2009, 10:01:08 AM »

It's over.

Valve is finished.

Soooo, everyone go choose a class and idle on Shadow Moses?

Be prepared to hit the big shiny Stat Reset button (I already did, so no worries).

I'd probably pick Scout, since my stats are already fucked for him.

Anyway, if we want to do this, can we set up an overnight server with a near-infinite time so I can just go to bed and leave it running? Because right now you have to get back in the game whenever the map changes, which is kind of hard to do if you just want to go to sleep and forget it.
