Fixed the hats below being included in the crafting of class-specific hats using class tokens

  • Towering Pillar of Hats
  • Noble Amassment of Hats
  • Modest Pile of Hat

Bingo.

Wow, sucks to be few people who just spent 4 reclaimed metal...

but if they wanted a class specific hat (as it takes 4 reclaimed metal for those), they could've gotten one of these tower hats instead.

But these hats can be worn by any class and not many people have them yet. It's kind of a lose-win-win.

Agreed. I would gladly spend an extra metal for an increased chance to get the Towering Pillar.

yeah, but personally I think they look like shit. So I'd be pretty pissed if I got one of them instead of whatever class I really wanted.

Well that was fast.

I know.

I can still remember a time when there would be MONTHS between updates. And now there are like 4 updates a month. I don't know about you, but this rate of updates over time makes me as happy as a lark.

I'm going to come down hard from this update-high when it's finally an entire month and no updates at all.

This is nothing but my own personal speculation, but perhaps Valve is trying to coincide the 100th patch with the Engineer update? This patch is the 97th non-beta PC patch and Robin Walker said, "We've got multiple updates in the works still, at least one of which will land before the Engineer pack."

My interpretation of his response is that we'll see another class update before we see an engineer update. But I might be wrong.

I can't imagine a class receiving a second update before the engie sees any love. I rather thought it might be an event similar to the halloween one.

So can you only get these through drops now?

Before today's patch, you could get them via smelting two hats together.

After today's patch, I assume you can still get them via smelting two hats together.

I don't know if they was ever available through drops. I hope someone else can clarify further upon this.

I got one in my inventory without crafting anything or receiving a notification message. Really weird.

Unrelated, I crafted it with a trophy belt and got a bonk helm.

EDIT: I think this might have been after the patch.

I believe the hat towers are only available for the propaganda winners and therefore nobody else should be able to wear them. The individual hats on the other hand (3 of them) are available for everyone else

Nope. There are three regular "hat towers" with one, two, and three hats respectively. Then there are three identical hats with prize ribbons on them, which are the propaganda prizes.
