Enter… MONOCULUS!

I swear i have shitty luck with the portals. Three times i've passed through them as they close. One time i was standing ON TOP of monoculous as he died (No, i dont know how). I didn't touch the book somehow.
Untouch has discovered that recompiling the map doesn't give you uber or anything... so it's hard coded.
Did tf_logic_holiday always exist? I had no idea maps could force birthday mode
There's an info_intermission pointing at the env_tonemap_controller for some reason

I hate getting killed after touching the book

Cry me a river guys.
Some of us have been unable to play TF2 at all since before the pre-halloween stuff and at the rate Valve are fixing it, wont be able to play this year's halloween event at all
I can't even test my own maps.
I believe it. They still haven't fixed the patchy Steam connection that's causing missing user icons and times when I can't get to my loadout, nor the bug that makes hitting Tab crash the game maybe one time out of five. Their whole QA team must be on an extended vacation to the Land of Can't-Give-a-Fuck.
yyler, there is also a ragdoll magnet...
*points at hella's last point and black hole*
And, as I just discovered, the first documented official use of the burning_torch particle! And those bell tower props are named "house_hat" in the prop list. Oh, Valve.
Pretty sure those bare trees and stumps are old though.

LOL
I haven't been able to play the update yet (not a crash complaint, just haven't had the time), but it looks like they really took things up a notch this year with the bugnutty antics. I just really hope the costume sets are only equippable during the Halloween event, because the Soldier's (hilarious) robot suit is the first accessory set I've seen that actually completely fucks the silhouette recognition.
Yea, well... last year i played every day of the halloween weekend (approximately 26 hours of gameplay) and i only ever physically saw the halloween gift with me own eyes once; and it was picked up by some scout 3 ft infront of me who already acquired it 5 times that very evening.
Shit happens.
Where?
"I played on a shitty server and it was terrible. This event sucks!"
under the book
Shit doesn't happen, probability happens.
If everyone is playing normally, it averages out to a 1/24 chance of getting the gift, at 1 gift every 5 minutes even after 2 hours your chances of getting one is still only 65%. It will take 6 hours of continuous play on manor/eyeaduct to reach 95% chance of getting a gift first.
To get all of the items through gifts, you're looking at playing the entire length of the halloween event solidly on viaduct.
Hence their very reasonable price in the mann co. store.
(yeah I also just watched some guy get two in a row :glare

That might have been true if it was handed out to 1 player in the server every 5 mins as a weapon/hat drop, but it is not. You have to compete against the chances that A) you are not dead, B) it drops near you, C) it is not stolen by a faster more mobile class than you and D) you are not prevented from reaching it by griefers. I would have thought you'd have realised by now you can't define TF2 gameplay with a bunch of base figures like dividing against the number of players present.
The fact that it should be relatively easy to acquire, but people are not having luck with it, is exactly why it is shitty. Like betting tails in a coin toss (50% probability of winning) 1000 times and getting 1000 heads is a shitty piece of luck. "The phrase is an acknowledgment that bad things happen to people for no particular reason". Like playing the halloween weekend solid and never acquiring an item drop with a supposed success rate of acquirement of "65-95%".
Besides, define "normal play". Because i don't think what you think "normal play" is is what "normal play" actually is. As far as i have observed normal play (the average attitude of a TF2 player) consists of players griefing each other by killing each other in the "underworld" instead of mutually going for the achievement.
If everyone played normally, including the potential presence of griefers, being dead, being away from the drop, being a low speed-low mobility class and being beaten to the item drop by say a scout, i wouldn't be surprised if the actual figure was closer to 20-30% than 65-95%.
