[Steam] Thread XIII: The World's #1 Forum-Themed Hat Acquisition Simulator

[onasuma]

Valve site is hammered to hell. Mind posting the mechanic?

- No random crits
- 3 bullets loaded at a time

- 2 free crits if your Sg gets a kill
- 1 free crit if your sg gets an assisst
- 1 free crit if you sg is destroyed (by you or an enemy)

Not quite. You receive the bonus crits you accumulated only when your sentry is destroyed.

[Fawkes]

Seriously, tho, I kind of expect everybody will get a Golden Wrench eventually; the first 100 will just have unique names, like the versions of the community weapons given to their creators, or the serial numbers on the Service Medals.

I hope so, but I doubt it.

Edit: 25 wrenches have been found! If I were you guys, I'd wait until it says 26 to do any more crafting.

After seeing the post today, I think the golden wrenches are going to unfortunately be just the 100.

. . . and you can initiate them by self-destructing the sentry.

So... wait.
The Golden Wrenches are numbered, just as suspected, but this doesn't actually seem to be a limited thing, just a certain wave of the drop?
Wut is going on?

There are only a 100 wrench slots displayed. Twenty-five appear to be given per day. So that's four days. Possibly corresponds to one item being revealed per day.

Just to comment on the Silly Background Nonsense,

So, Lincoln's chair flips through and he is then teleported hatless out into the desert.
He then disguises himself as Boothes via a mass of hats before claiming his original hat back?
And... I guess goes back to being a mercenary?
The Frontier Justice is kind of covering a bunch of the stuff I wanted to read.

[Worira]

Oh, hey, I know one of them wrenchfolk.

Also, my new spray:

[AlterForm]

I'm pretty much resigned to the fate that I won't be getting a Golden Wrench. It's nice to let players feel important, Valve, but after all the hats and medals nonsense do you really want to be this exclusive?
Again?

Personally, I find it even worse that the GW actually has an effect beyond looking cool/different. Said effect may not do anything to affect gameplay, but it just rubs it in even further how gorram-exclusive the GW club is.

[surikesu]

Radigan Conagher?

[Player_Zero]

Crafted away all the items that I never use now. Bonk, DH, etc.

Still keeping my items with levels though. Level 99 FaN, level 99 Sandman and level 100 Huntsman are staying.

[Flechair]

. . . and you can initiate them by self-destructing the sentry.

Yeah pretty much. The Frontier Justice is the "you shouldn't have f***ed with my sentry' gun. It'll allowed an engie to push through a heavy, all he needs is 1 kill and an assist and that's one clips-worth of crits.

[tarbrush]

Bah. I've just crafted damn near everything in my backpack. Do I have a golden wrench? No.

Bah.

[KBF]

I wonder if it resets on Engie death. Probably, but does it reset on Engie death before Sentry death, or only after, when the crits are charged? Can you immediately begin setting up the sentry again with a clip or two of crits to defend where your sentry once was?

At first I though it was kinda lame, but it has potential I suppose.

[chiasaur11]

So, got Uplink through the sale.

And now I am the hacker supreme. Okay, more like 26.

Still, I get in and nobody can trace me. So much fun.

WHAT THE HELL IS A SAMOFLANGE?!

SAMOFLANGE?!

[Cogwheel]

Besides X-COM, I've been playing Titan Quest lately. Good source of RAEGE, seeing as I'm kinda big on mythology. I also seem to be phenomenally bad at the game. Good fun, anyway.

[chiasaur11]

Played a quick game of DEFCON with Bryn a minute ago.

Man, DEFCON is fun.

OH GOD TITAN QUEST.

What a fun little game.

How much it made me want to crack the writer's skulls together for the completely and utter disregard with which it treats the classic myths...

[Duos]

With the GitP server full about an hour ago, I joined a random server... and I saw a wrench get crafted. So if you were waiting until they started handing them out again to craft, now would be the time to do so. Good luck guys-I don't have enough scrap or useless items to craft anything.

Crafted off pretty much all my spare crap when I saw the notifications start coming up again. No Wrench, but I did get a Glengarry Bonnet for my troubles. Also I no longer have 5 Dead Ringers. Who the hell needs 5 Dead Ringers?

Edit: *facepalm* I made everything into scrap and then a hat. Shoulda done a Skullcutter and a Crit-cola while I was at it, don't have 'em yet.

[Tarnag40k]

I play:
Trackmania
Modern Warfare 2
Dawn of War 2

but if anyone wants to invite me, username: Tarnag40k, always looking for new people to play with.

That game has a lot of Easter Eggs.

A lot.

Also, hack a bank, steal everyone's credits. Done and done.

Need a good monitor bypass first.

[Dispozition]

Just bought Civ III since I was bored and wanted to play an RTS other than WCIII or SC (not that I play either much). Not that any of your are interested, I'm sure. Also, don't ask me to play online, I suck at RTS games :P

[memnarch]

Civ III is real time strategy? When did that happen?

[Cogwheel]

OH GOD TITAN QUEST.

Oh good, I'm not the only one.

I have a sneaking feeling Titan Quest would be more fun if I wasn't playing it alone. Ah well.

I think the last straw, for me, was when the game started throwing robots at me. Around Knossos, I think. Really, robots. I can't do much to take legions of mecha-hoplites seriously.

Oddly enough, I saw the TVTropes page, which praises it for staying fairly faithful to the source material. I have no idea.



Edit: Spirit is a stupid mastery and I regret choosing it.
