The Recluse Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I fired up my alt yesterday to get some SWEET CRATE 92 ACTION and let it run for 6 hours, got nothing. This was on my laptop. It's almost 5 hours in to Thursday, had the game open on my PC, played for about 2 hours now and I haven't received a single item. Something is definitely different.

CrafterofGenius Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 You get a certain amount of drops per week, you might have exhausted this weeks drops on your main. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowMan Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 l8, they lowered cr8 drop r8s, so pallet of cr8s is your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Recluse Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 I've received no items after two hours of playing on one account, and 6 on another that hasn't been used in weeks. Thursday was when the drops reset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToMaHaWk_225 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 You need to be actively moving or shooting to obtain drops, a recent(ish) limitation by valve in an attempt to rid idlers from tf2. Just type +left and +attack +forward into your console and you'll be shooting in circles all day. Your maximum non-crate item drop is 10 items per week up to 10 hours of playtime (pretty sure, havent checked for a while). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pomp Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 There is a limit of items you can drop on both CSGO and TF2. TF2 resets limit in Thursday CSGO resets limit in Wednesday Last item drop change was like 10 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heated Bread Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I only got 4 or 5 drops last week. I usually only get 8, and often at least 1 crate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heated Bread Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 is this documented anywhere? I didn't see it on the wiki I've encountered this particular urban legend several times over the last 3 years at least, so I seriously doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noot ♥ Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Have been noticing that my item drops are low for the last 2~3 weeks, about 5 per week. Not sure what is happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToMaHaWk_225 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 is this documented anywhere? I didn't see it on the wiki I remember reading this on a forum when the drop system was modified, i havent any recent sources to back up my claim but this is true to my knowledge... Like i said, im not quite up to date on the item cap it may have changed since i last read the wiki over a year ago. Also i have received item drops whilst +attack +forward +left are executed. Some may disagree... For anyone curious of the current system: https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Item_drop_system#Current_system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For anyone curious of the current system: https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Item_drop_system#Current_system The funny thing about this myth is that it is easy to falsify, so there's no real reason it should persist, yet it's been around for a few years now at least. To falsify this one, just wait until the drop cap resets, get on an eligible server, sit still, and if you get a drop, myth busted. I just got a weapon drop about 5 minutes ago by sitting still as a cloaked spy in spawn on a trade server. I even had the game alt + tabbed so i could watch some stuff on youtube. I welcome anyone else to try this fo themselves if they have any doubts. Just make sure that your account actually still has some drops remaining for the week.
