Valve have released a new update for Team Fortress 2 with a bunch of fixes and changes to the crafting system. The details from the official announcement:
  • Fixed a server crash caused by using the Half-Zatoichi to hit someone not holding a weapon.
  • Fixed the Soldier/Demoman taunts not working correctly when the Half-Zatoichi is the active weapon.
  • Fixed the Concheror animations not always playing correctly for players on the Blue team.
  • Fixed a bug where players could switch weapons after deploying the Half-Zatoichi before they killed someone with it.
  • Updated The Shogun Pack items to be tradeable.
  • Crafting changes
    • All recipes are now known to all players.
    • Reduced the cost of most recipes.
    • Items previously crafted using recipes that will be reduced in this update have been upgraded to Vintage quality.
I am completely out of touch with Team Fortress 2 these days so someone will have to translate in the comments what this means for the game!

Bleh, it means the game has still gone to s***.

If they had like a barebones server with all the original weapons, outfits etc and none of those damn hats I would still be playing this all the time.

They do. There are a heap of vanilla servers. I just don't get why people cry about these hats and such. If your stupid enough to buy them, good for you. I'm pretty sure you can get most of the hats and weapons without buying.

Haha, it has made me want to play again too. I don't like change that much to an FPS, besides new maps and maybe some new weapons if they're balanced properly.

These hats are the gayest idea ever.

Its good they are updating game for free every few months but why update it with f***** hats :/

As I said, it doesn't affect you in anyway. They are just to show off who blows the most money. And they do update it with new maps, and all these updates have been free, compared to Xbox 360 and PS3 having to pay for theirs.

Team Fortress 2 is the best multiplayer game today. These changes mean pretty much little since everyone has been able to trade weapons and crap. Who crafts? Seriously, if you want a new weapon or item, just trade, its amazing what awesome crap you can get for cheap.

I actually quite enjoy all these new updates. It means there's always something new to look forward to when I jump on each week.

Hats are ridiculously hard to get except during special events (without buying them), but their great in identifying certain players and some do give me a chuckle every time I see them.

Weapons drop more frequently and they certainly provide a lot more variety in play styles. I'm especially loving the Soldier's 'Direct-Hit' (which has low splash, fast travel but bonus damage for direct hits) and 'Black-Box' (low ammo, but gives you 15% health of damage to enemy) and Engineer's Wrangler (replaces shotgun but allows you to directly control the sentry gun and also buffs it with more firepower and a shield).

Also should point out that certain combos of hats and weapons equipped provide a bonus (and a negative to balance it).

Even though I've been playing since release I still have no idea the advantage of vintage items...

The hats got even crazier when the introduced unusual hats which is extremely rare to unbox one. This site simulates the amount of keys you have to buy and crates to open in order to get one. I think the best one there was around $4000 worth of keys to get one unusual hat.

I just used that simulator and got an unusual hat with 4 keys. What does that even mean?

Does TF2 do anything else apart from constantly needing to be updated for useless things?
