BF2S Forums [TF2] I dont get it Valve (Item drops)

I got another hat just now, the Brigade Helm.

The idle program is definitely worth using.

I finally managed to get a blue drop (hat) thanks to Drunkens SteamStats.exe idle program



Not exactly the hat I wanted the most, but it'll keep me happy for quite a while


I really, REALLY want the soldiers pot

I want the Bonk Helmet, it looks so cool

I find it horrifyingly ugly :S

(I found a server that allowed you to try on hats as you pleased)

Ok, link to the dude profile, there's 7415 Robins when I searched

For now I call bullshit, though the guy would not be able to rocketjump anymore with that launcher.

Holy freaking retards batman.

So with that launcher, he has 450HP and can reach up to 615HP when overhealed. Crits on kill wont matter, cause any splash damage is instant kill anyhow. Consider a rocket jump, you lose about 50 HP or so. Using this one, you would lose 4950 HP per jump Also, he carries 360 rockets at once, and fires one more or less every half a second. Lastly, he moves almost at Pyro speed.
WTF Valve?

dumb dumb dumb

They're murdering the only good new thing they've had going - competitively at least - for years.

First they shit in the mouths of the eager L4D community with L4D2 shovelware, and now they turn TF2 into a big joke.

gg'z Valve, sometimes it amazes me how they manage to keep such a fervent fanbase of fucking retards.

Nothing has changed yet

While I've lost plenty of trust in Valve because of some of their incredibly bad unlocks, adding random weapon drops with varying levels of rarity and usefulness to the game is so monumentally stupid and completely out of touch with the community that I can't see it happening in that form. And yes, as far as TF2 is concerned Valve are much more in touch with their playerbase than most developers are for their games.

I'm just waiting to see what happens before busting out the THE END IS NIGH signs

I'm not saying the end is nigh... nothing of the sort.

I just think they're sinking a perfectly good competitive-platform for gimmick-laden novelty shite. Their development team just have the complete wrong direction, in my own opinion. They're not refining the current gameplay at all, they're focussing on turning it into an even more disorderly and chaotic gib-fest, instead of honing the actual skill and tact of the game.

I just hope they wont turn it into Battlefield heroes with items that can only be purchased etc. :s

Those are incredibly strange values. I'm assuming there is a reason for them but i'll be fucked if i can think of it.

I never cease to be amazed by people on the internet

Can a math/statistics person please help me understand what the probability of getting TWO hats are given so many drops.

The probability of getting a single hat is simply (1-(83/84)^rolls).

((rolls!)/((rolls-2)!*2)) * (1/84)^2*(83/84)^(rolls-2)

! means factorial (n! = n*(n-1)*...*2*1)

That gives the probability of getting exactly 2 hats, not 2 or more.  For 2 or more the best way would probably be 1 - probability_of_no_hats - probability_of_1_hat, which is:

1 - (83/84)^rolls - rolls*(1/84)*(83/84)^(rolls-1)
