Speaking of crates... anyone interested in a #30?
I looked the other day and saw that the asking price for these are like 6-7 keys now, lol. I'm going to hang on to mine.

It looks like Crate 30 is going to be discontinued soon.

Crate prices only go up from there. If you keep the crates long enough, the crates themselves (not as much the stranges, since more are coming with more unboxings and more crates are leaving) could rise to obsurd prices. Possibly low-tier unusuals in the far, long run.

You're right. Couldn't the price go down though? What makes this crate special anyway? Why is it the only salvaged?

40 is replacing 30 as salvaged, the item schema hints anyways.

Crate 30 only has ever gone up since it came out. Good crates skyrocket when they're discontinued (see #1, #19, and #20, going at 1+ Refined, which used to be 1 weapon).

Do the math. Crate 30 will continue to go up as it does, and then get added to exponentially when it becomes rarer and rarer, especially from a crate that's the rarest drop in the game to begin with.

One of my sources tells me 40 was supposed to be a regular crate like 41 but screwed up, and 30 was never going away. Hmm.

TBH one could be as right as the other. We're not 100% sure yet.

Item schema labels 40 as a "rare" crate though, like 30, but it doesn't actually drop due to mismatched data within files.

20 less so, but yeah.

It's like 2 Rec-1 Ref to be more fair... not a lot of people want to pay a ref for a normal crate.

Strange Rocket Launcher is such a ludicrous price it's worth it, though. It's about 1/4 crates it gets unboxed, and its worth 3 keys. Pretty good odds to make money.

Last time I auctioned off 290 crates of random numbers I got 2 keys for the lot.
Pretty nice since a lot of the crates were from people who just didn't want them taking up space.

Makes me think it might be time to poke around, see what people want for my Strange Festive Launcher.

Add me to the friendfinder! My steam name is falcon_smash

I play mainly spy, medic, and some pyro. I'm looking to compete in ugc's 9vs9 highlander tournament soon, maybe even next season. Anyone who wants to play just send me a PM.

How good are you at Spy? I've been meaning to try some double Spy to practice baiting and trickstabs in public servers, although I'm often playing 6's Lobbies or Saxton Hale. Add me on Steam if you're interested.

ESEA Open is 6's, yes.

I'm working on my roamer so if I can play enough to improve, we can have you as a sub-Scout / Medic instead. I'll talk to the rest of the team. You're the second recruit so we'll probably play you in a Lobby or something.

Well, I'm not too sure about joining so don't recruit me already lol.

I'm not sure if I have the time to dedicate myself to something like that. I don't want people relying on me. What days/times will this be?

You would be a sub, Krynxe. We'd need you in games where one of our slots are missing, presuming you do strongly in some Lobbies / scrimms and your comms are solid, etc.. Matches are setup by schedulers of each team every match, but we're aiming for evenings / nights for sure. Most games are played on nights anyway.

Okay, being a sub would work. Nights works fine for me too right now, but when I'm back at school next week I won't be able to be doing games too late because I wake up at 6

: So, Valve desided to fix that one thiing where the heavy throws the sandvish on the floor. So now, when the heavy picks up the sandvish from the floor, he no longers gain health but get his sandvish back.

I wouldn't call it a fix, but yeah that was a bit ago. I was really disappointed when they did that, since heavy is my main class.

Lol Bio, remember how many times after that update where I threw my sandvich on the floor to eat it in vsh just to be like "d'oh"

Man I miss eating sandviches with my feet :'(

I throw my sandvich to my medic who proceeds to not notice and gets eaten by a scout at 90% health.
