I've played a good few hours since the last drop reset and haven't received anything new too.  Hope the one today fixes it(Or has it already reset?  Can't remember what time on Wednesday it resets)

[Enzo]

Huh, I haven't had any problems with the drops this week. Besides getting shit weapons, I mean.

I think the reset today is in 3 or 4 hours, IIRC.

[Thexor]

I went premium after I decided that five bucks was worth it, and my first drop was the sultan's ceremonial.
I have everything BUT the Persian Persuader for that set. It's a shame, too.

For what it's worth, the items are technically in a set, but there's no bonus for completing said set. Valve learned their lesson after the first set of hat-dependent set bonuses. 

[Tradanbattlan]

Didn't the Medic get a health regen bonus for just having the bow and amputator, though?

It does indeed. Note, however that the Berliner's Bucket Helm (which is included in the Mann Co. package along with the set) is not a required component of said set.

So, we've got the Polycount items, which require a hat to complete a set, and whose sets provide an in-game bonus. We've got the Medieval items, which do not require the matching hats while granting an in-game bonus. And we've got the new items, which require a hat but provide no bonus for completing the set.

Confused yet? 

[Dermonster]

No, its all pretty clear cut.

[Gunner-Chan]

All pretty moot when GOD GRENADIERS SOFTCAP.

I don't know why but I just love that hat. I want it so bad~

Apparantly there is a guy who plays TF2 with a Guitar Hero controller.

The concept alone is awesome.

This made me laugh

That is indeed how you play it.

my first stun with the sandman was on 2fort

i meant to hit a sniper in the balcony on the battlements from our battlements, but the ball hit the bridge, bounced off one of the posts in the balcony, and hit a soldier on the ground on the head from max stun range and he was instantly sniped

[Impending Doom]

Finally got my first drops: Sandvich and the Big Earner. Not quite what I was hoping for.

[Shadowlord]

Sandvich is great!

[Kearn]

big earner is good if you need to backstab a priority target and then get away quickly

[Duke 2.0]

 Not as much as you would hope though.

 Sandvich is part of the Heavy Triple Threat, so its always good to have. And a protip: Always drop it. an extra +50% health of your health healed now is much better than +100% of your health healed over several seconds of being a sitting duck.

Others seem to suggest using the Big Earner to augment the Ringer. I couldn't disagree more. With the Earner + Invis you can maintain enough cloak to always have an escape option and almost entirely remove disguises from the equation. I guess it's like a reverse YER: More mobility at the cost of survivability if you get caught out.

A few days ago I had my first attempt at taking the Short Circuit seriously and it works amazingly well in the right circumstances. Two dispensers in Dustbowl 3/B's equipment room allows me to almost completely negate the BLUs' counter-spam while protecting my buddy's sentry on the front line. Even better was the fact that the enemy team that match had a clearly coordinated Soldier/Kritz duo whose efforts to flank through the tunnel came to nothing every time.

Here's an idea: Justice/Short Circuit/Gunslinger. The ultimate combat Engie, and still a definite team player.
