So apparently something went wrong with this update and the unusual market just went completely sideways -- crates between #1-18 have a 100% chance to unbox a 1st gen unusual, crate #61 has a 100% chance to unbox a 3rd gen unusual, and crates #82 and #85 only give specialized killstreaks, professional killstreaks or 3rd gen unusuals (without the usual normal killstreaks). SCM and trade sites have been hit hard, and some people have reported being tradelocked (probably from opening/trading/selling too many unusuals). No idea if they'll rollback. I guess I'll keep this as an appropriate memento:

I literally just made $300 selling a tiny number of old crates, so I'm gonna be happy no matter how this shakes out.

I wasn't fast enough to get in on it at the peak but I still made $120 from about 15 crates so I am more than satisfied.

Is this still happening? I only have three crates but a poo poo load of cosmetic cases. I can't believe I must have just deleted a load of those crates. Jippa fucked around with this message at 12:39 on Jul 26, 2019 |

RIP 1st and 3rd gen market for sure. Again, check if you have these crates: crates #1-18 have a 100% chance to unbox a 1st gen unusual crate #61 has a 100% chance to unbox a 3rd gen unusual crates #82 and 85 only give specialized killstreaks, professional killstreaks or 3rd gen unusuals (without the usual normal killstreaks) - not sure on #83-84 Unless you really want to unbox an unusual, now is the time to unload.

Item servers seem to be down. Guessing someone at Valve noticed what's happening. edit: lol, some jackass on Youtube is streaming tf2 with the title "TF COMMUNITY IN DANGER! UNUSUAL GLITCH" how exactly is the community in danger by the average joes getting their hands in some unusuals? The traders are for sure crapping their pants when their pixels suddenly lost a lot of value. SpiritOfLenin fucked around with this message at 17:37 on Jul 26, 2019 |

They did vintage tags for people who had items before F2P, now they are going to have "A little less vintage" tags for hats before today.

The tf2 subreddit is similar: quote:and the modteam would prefer it if you didn't try to spread a literal game bug that damages other people's enjoyment of the game, to those who don't yet know. e: Sure wish I had some low # crates. Think I traded/sold/gave them away long ago, and I only have some in the 30s-40s? Think I checked all of them and none where going for more then a few cents.

I'd say the enjoyment of a whole bunch of people finally getting their own shiny hat outshines the enjoyment of a few digital robber barons hoarding the entire hat supply. Full TF2 communism now

Jippa posted:People are speculating they are just going to roll every thing back. there must be tens of millions of individual transactions to process cash for keys through the store cash on market for crates keys hats individual player trades if you paid money to valve, do they refund in cash? put balance back into wallet? I mean, it'd absolutely be the best method of reversing this but at what costs? think about valve's marketplace takes on each transaction... Broken Cog posted:Full TF2 communism now

Jippa posted:People are speculating they are just going to roll every thing back. Wouldn't that gently caress anyone who dropped real money on keys / crates? Or do they just process a refund? What about anyone who sold crates, and possibly used that steam credit on other poo poo?

gently caress the hat barons and their stupid fiefdoms. It's time they learned a very valuable lesson about how markets work.

Also you're going to sit here and tell me, with a straight face, that the hat barons aren't making a ton of money off of crate sales during this whole thing? gently caress right off. I bet they did that and are waiting for the reversal since they'd get to keep crate sales income.

The main people that had tons of old crates were collectors and people who haven't played in like 7/8 years. Those people became gods for a good 6 hours.

It sucks because that describes me, yet I had none of those crates.
