What are the hats for? Just cool looks?

Also you were talking about a sword and a shield... Are these special items with special effects which you get only when you are premium?

The opposite, actually. The only reason to upgrade is if you want to wear the stupid hats. Free-to-players can still get the weapon drops.

Hell, they're more likely too, what with no hats to swing the RNG to giving them something useless.

But then, life was also easier when I was running around here pretending to be a man, so I guess I should just "man up" and get back to work.

I believe only Premium players have access to hats. And yeah, they have no impact on gameplay. It's just cool to wear a purple pirate hat into battle.

All the weapons, however, are dropped randomly or gained through achievements whether or not you're a Free player. Some drastically alter playstyle, like the Demo's swords and shields, which let you charge and decapitate people at the cost of your stickybombs. Most of the premium players have a lot of weapons already, so it'll take a while for the free players to catch up.

Ninja'd but whatever.

Man, the two posts directly before yours explain the difference between free and premium. Also, premium players get a really ugly free hat.

The game isn't too terribly unbalanced without premium items.  Even the default gear is useful enough for most people, and the achievement weapons you get are mostly good (Except Natascha.  Natascha is lame)

Back to the update itself, I feel really happy that they've shown secondary weapons some love. Before this update, the only true secondary "weapons" were the Flare Gun, the Scottish Resistance and possibly the Wrangler. Now we're getting some shotguns and pistols, so everything is Ok.

In other news, has anyone been on a Balloon Race? If you haven't, think two blimps-one red, one blue-powered by players standing at the wheel. You ned to get to a Control Point and cap it to get to the next point and cause your opponents delays etc. First balloon to make the lap wins. I find it amusing just as a Brass Beast Heavy just standing by the wheel going ratatatatata and scoring bucketloads of assists. Even funnier when some guy got the soldier to say (using voice) "THIS IS MY FRILLY TRAINING BRA. YOU ARE NOT WELCOME IN MY FRILLY TRAINING BRA." and the Scout going on about Pancakes. Hilarious.

Vintage weapons are worth twice the amount of a normal weapon, so that totals up to one scrap metal :P Now if it was a numbered on that was either 0 or 100 then it would be worth alot.

So let me get this straight, the people who bought the game get to use hats...and that's it? 

I absolutely despised the whole concept of the hats.  I have worn Bills hat on occasion because I like the minimalist style, but most of the time I'm wearing the default hat.  So all I get for being a longtime customer is a feature I don't use?   There has to be something more than that.

(P.S. Yes I loved the game before the hats, and before there was umteen million unlockable weapons.  I haven't been playing much lately, not hard to find out why.)

So you're upset... because you didn't get anything for free for the game you don't play anymore?
