(ง ͠° ͟ل ͡°)ง Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 In my opinion, it gives people an excuse to overvalue their hats. In all seriousness, people aren't gonna be paying over 20 keys for normal cosmetic. I know, there will always be 'hype buying' but they would be way, way less than what they are now if valve didn't tier them. The two highest tier hats are the most desirable meaning a very high price, I am interested to see what the banana and cardbeard drop to in a few weeks. (I am salty because I want one but I ain't paying £40 for a banana or a piece of cardboard) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobsplosion Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I don't like it, most of all because now cosmetics can come in purple and not be unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hawk Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Awful idea. No reason why one cosmetic from the same crate should be worth wayy more then a regular cosmetic unless it's visibly more attractive. Just an excuse to highball. Unless the red line cosmetics have a lower drop rate. But still I think it's a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatrix Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I don't like it, most of all because now cosmetics can come in purple and not be unusual. Yeah this. Keeps making me do double takes, even with just plain weapons. Unusuals are purple, have been purple, should be purple. Purple is the colour of unusual text, and now Valve is changing it all around.

Q22 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I don't like the idea either but I have to say the banana and the pirate beard are better looking than the umpteenth battle medic hat. So tiers kinda matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So tiers kinda matter Yeah, medic keeps getting fucked over with his hats. The most popular medic hat is the Tyrolean as opposed to the 2,085 other WURD WUR BERTTE MERDIC OMG shitty hats in the game, yet people keep making these bad helmets instead of a nice classy hat. I'm getting real tired of it. They either look like penis hat or turtle scrotum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largeelvis Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Arent there also wear patterns on cosmetics (factory new, minimal wear, etc)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamWTS Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Arent there also wear patterns on cosmetics (factory new, minimal wear, etc)? There are, but it is clearly a bug. While I uncrated a hat from the newest crate, it displayed as Factory New, but after that the wear tag disappears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cottonbonbon Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 The only thing I can figure to try and reason this decision is that the tiers for the hats may indicate their drop rates expected from the crate (reds lower drop rate, blues more common etc), but other than that I find the idea of tiering them somewhat unnecessary and really, really confusing. Up until the gun mettle update a majority of players would identify certain colours with certain qualities: Purple for unusual, orange for strange, yellow for unique and so forth. It's how tf2 had taught us to identify items of different qualities. But now with the introduction of the gun mettle qualities, players are now gonna have to basically forget the previous colouring system since now the new colouring system conflicts with the old one, which is really annoying; it's basically like what happened when ammo drops were changed. We were taught that dropped weapon = ammo, so when that rule changed, it took a lot of players some time to forget it since, even though you know the old rule no longer applies, subconsciously you still follow it since you are used to doing it for so long.

Taconinja Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Unless the red line cosmetics have a lower drop rate. But still I think it's a bad idea.That's literally the reason the tiers are there, because of the drop rate, its not just pointless colors lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litwick Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 That's literally the reason the tiers are there, because of the drop rate, its not just pointless colors lmao The problem with that is that we already had lower drop rates in other crates. It's just known you're more likely to get a useless weapon or cosmetic over, say, a higher tier strange or a paint. Why bother putting in extra colors that conflict with the already established colors for item qualities? Imo its just useless at best and annoying at worst. Can't wait to hear about some kid getting sharked because they were told that a purple grade hat was an unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RRB Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Funny how most of the better ones are on the bottom of the tier and the ugly ones are at the top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CourtneyWendysCommercials Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Tiered cosmetics are a horrid idea, since a lot of people prefer the lower tier cosmetics over the banana and cardbeard. They should have just made a regular community crate like the Late Summer, EotL, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 This really isn't very different from other crates. Some items have lower drop rates than others, they just slapped on a different color and "tier" name. The players will decide the value of the items regardless of the tier, as always.
