rly? thats a death wish bro.

[tyler543100]

yay easy



[SecretNinjaPenguins]

do you need to have TF2 open or is it alright to minimize it?

[TheFffoithegreat]

@SecretNinjaPenguins im sure open



[TheFffoithegreat]

@SecretNinjaPenguins Or you can go to steam>teamfortress2>rightclick­>properties>set launch options enter:-textmode -nosound -noipx -novid -nopreload -nojoy -sw -maxplayers 2 +sv_lan 1 +map "itemtest" OK and run tf2 and just idle you dont need to do anything

[AgentVamp]

@Bigft113 yes I do I run them all at once with Sandboxie.

[Willettes1]

Or just make your own server with a password with a idle map on

[colafish156]

can i buy your facade for 1 ref?

[MrRobinehrnsten]

idle??????

[AgentVamp]

I am proud to idle. got 3 idle accounts and my main. Don't hate. Appreciate. I got the game the money paid way so I will do whatever I damn well like with it.

[Bigft113]

@AgentVamp DO you idle with all 3 at the same time because im trying to figure out how to do that

[IvanHowell]

Please block me cause this is the gayest shit I've ever seen.

[oomerimunni]

THANK YOU! FINALLY HOW IS SMART

[JBOMBTAU1]

THANK YOU!



[534224ng]

how exactly i get the items?

[ExCLusiV4ToYs]

ah so if i spectate thats best way to idle or i understood wrong?

[optimus4716]

hey i have a question when your idling can you minimize tf2 and play other games while you wait?????

[memesrock]

my left ear loved this

[skate07senses]

@memesrock lol man, was thinking wtf? I was hearing this in my right ear, so i checked my headphones and they were on the wrong way. so i switched. haha cheers mate!

[memesrock]

@skate07senses FINALLY someone with some sense

[josephddd117]

@memesrock you have both top comments?! :O

[memesrock]

@josephddd117 YEAH!!



[ForEverGamesCH]

lol thats actualy funny. im watching a tf2 idling video and i see myself getting killed on achievment_idle lol (487 deaths xP)

[alliancesuxftw]

Thumbs up if your idling while watching this :D

[ExtraTerrestrials]

iwas wondering how those bastards got all the good stuff. it's my time to shine haha

[Laxmandanthaniel]

Can idling still work with the game minimized??

[linnarin]

@Laxmandanthaniel I think it does, but I'm not sure. What you should do is minimize it right when you connect, and un-minimize a little while after. If you see that more people suicided (xxxx suicided) than before you minimized it, then yes, you can idle with it minimized.

[GuiderPenguin]

I Waited 7 Hours And Didn't Got Anything...?

[Xelerot]

Hello, Left ear here..

[drkcrstl]

[Yupa0Masta]

Hey Hi, Nice vid.. I was Asking, i Started to play TF2 like a week ago, and does this still apply for the new TF2. And do u have any idea on what is the minimun time to get an Item or its pure Luck? Does this ALWAYS apply or there can be cases in where u dont get a singel Iteam for example in 7 H of idle? Ty :)

[Imakeplanesboom]

most annoying voice, learn how to breathe

[future07hawk89]

i never got a hat by idleing :(

[Nomis095]

is idling really just getting on a server and leaving it on or is there more to it?

[SuperPwnerofall]

@Nomis095 while your just sitting there, your guy is just magically getting random items sent to him for doing nothing

[SuperAwesomeTiago]

@SuperPwnerofall Magic...*snort snort*

[SuperPwnerofall]

@SuperAwesomeTiago :P yes magic :D...nah i know its drop rate

[Razer1103]

@Nomis095 Yeah, that's what idling is. Gettings item drops the way they were intended to be earned... not at all.

[r41d3n518]

can you get in trouble for idling on idle server?

[Holamellamopancho1]

Can you still idle?

[kkgbyn]

wat you can drop hats? Wats the drop percent of hats!

[killcount10000]

thanks man

[H4x0r18]

Offline idling got me 3 items in 4 hours. Haven't tried online idling servers yet..

[future07hawk89]

when i idle i dont get hats

[ghettoboy123ify]

@future07hawk89 me to if you want to get hats you need buy something from steam or some tf2 item hat or weapon

[zooterno1]

I cud only hear in my left headphone too

[MINIMILK1111]

I think i dont know how to Idle I just :

Go to a server whit low ping and in achievement_idle

stay afk for 4 hours ....

But I NEVER WIN ITEMS NEVER NEVER i dont know why. After 2 hours of idle : 0 items , 4 hours 0 items , 3 hours , 0 items.

[Diviched]

Does it still work in the new system?

[lloveComedy]

For some reason I could only hear you in my left headphone. Say your mic was in your right when speaking?

[MooseDishes]

@lloveComedy Your headphone wasn't plugged in properly.

[jjtda]

I think valve is now punishing idlers because i play alot and idle , butt i have not gotten an item in like a week

[chudomudo]

Omg.. You've got so many spy's beards =]

[44Ryan77]

Do the things you find change depending on the class you idle with?

[44Ryan77]

Do the things you find change if you idle with different classes?

[MyMac2011]

 oO

[PivotMajestik]

I watched this in HD :)

[CookieOnMyShoulder]

I'm idling every night and when I pop into my game I don't get any items :( please explain!

[Travianero94]

@CookieOnMyShoulder i think there is a item drop limit

[rmysterio80]

Im not hating. i have idle

But isnt being "proud" to idle a bit excessive?

[ADayOfTF2ECHO]

thix sux

[BoomBoy13]

ITEM FARMING YEE HAW

[Sirk558]

I don't HATE idlers, but they are a little annoying... but i guess free stuff is cool:)

But uh, yeah, i idled once, got somethin'. I dont remember what, coz it was used to craft. Butttt yeah. I think I'm stickin' to regular play... more spy time for me! whoo!

[tho808vidz]

i was your viewer number 16.000 xD

[TheRarehuman]

once i idled for 3 hrs and got absolutely NOTHING.

[TheGodDarnit]

@TheRarehuman Welcome to the new drop system.

[RICHtech101]

@TheRarehuman me to i idled for 3 hours and i got nothing.

[PivotSeargentFS]

@RICHtech101 The drop system consits of 12 items, if you already find those 12 items, you dont get anymore until About 6:30 On Wednesday.

[Stickfactory]

I once tried idle, i idled 12 hours, 0 items. Then i started playing in normal servers and i got much more often stuff than in idle-servers.

[LHunterO78]

how do you keep connected to a server over night?

[zackolot]

@Computergeew There is a max amount of drops you can get.

[zxxzx30thenoob]

idle sucks now i idled for 12 hours = 1 item?

[KobiTolGC]

@zxxzx30thenoob dude cuz theres a weekly item limit

[sk8eroz]

@zxxzx30thenoob lol hey you should of used your time to play

[LOLballz55]

I hate to say it, but ideling is dead now, TF2's new item find thing fucked it up

[Hradian]

@LOLballz55

Nah, now you can just idle overnight once a week and you don't have to play the whole week cause your time will carry over into the other days pretty much.

[Anderssisco]

does it work to idle on offline server?

[onelaststand1]

can u still idle and how do u do it? like u join a idle game and then go to spectat and wait for the items to roll in?

[Butterf1ingers]

lol i started look around my room when he said hello, only came out of my left speaker.

[supergiff8]

gah your one sided audio makes me cringe

[steve04225]

Watch my other how to idle video.

[FichSKillroeye]

@steve04225 didnt bring up the cmd box when i tried the other vid

[Cheetarjordan99]

This never works for me every time i get on a good one i pick my class,turn of my monitor and go to bed the next morning im of the idle server, :l

[dnch]

retarded

[lolcopter97]

hey my idled items have a name "I" and " what does that mean? :O

[CLICKMEYOULOSER]

Wow,I thought idle-ing was when you go on an achivement map and kill bots that just stand their.I have no freakin' idea.Thanks though for the video.

[trueassasin317]

how long will this take to get stuff ?

[alyl603]

@trueassasin317 avrage item is once per 1 hour and 40 minutes , avrage hat is once a month

[TheTYFK]

Does idle or Achivement server ban?

[BungholeMcGee]

@TheTYFK yes i got kicked by one for killing a noclip guy

[skoolrox123]

I don't have enough power in order to idle 24/7. Help?

[squidbilly70]

I only have one question. Does it STILL work.

[utubepoopable]

i am proud that you are proud to idle

[utubepoopable]

so you just leave the thing up over night? wont the computer go on sleep?

[ultimat3spaz]

Well i won't be using this now...

I

Dont

Idle

On

Team Fortress 2

heh heh

[ultimat3spaz]

@ultimat3spaz

Just so you know that isn't a insult and probably if i idle and i come

back my computer randomly deleted whatever was up so how do i turn that off

[TheReallyAngryCritic]

Are you depressed or something? your voice sounds really emotionless, otherwise if you're trying to do it, you do it really good. Oh, nice tutorial! i got some nice stuff since i started doing it. *thumbs up*

[alyl603]

what's the ip?

[BungholeMcGee]

im idling right now

[steve04225]

I respond to ALL questions by personal message.

[Themadhorse]

@steve04225 how come i get connection time out after 2-5 hours when idling in spec?

[GmodAttic]

@steve04225 Hey does idling still work. Like to this date because I want some hats and stuff.

[runnertje2]

@steve04225 i dont get the whole idle system... you join a idle server... you let your character stand and do nothing... you grab a beer having sex with your girl and you get items??

[dru12121]

@steve04225 idling gives you hats?

[MrLegotutorials]

all go to achv_scout_2 it ow ns

[Qman358]

meh, i still idle and get about 5-10 items. but for the last 2 days ive been getting no items and playing tf2 for like 5 hours!

[AE99o]

im a proud idler even though i havent got anything from idling the last 2 days....

[agranados0101]

"You scatch our backs,we will scratch yours"

Seth"one problem! my back is behind my cock!!"

-superbad.

nice tut

[legomastera]

i am a idler i got 50 items off of it

I AM ALSO PROUD TO BE A IDLER

[subressor1]

I get kicked for being afk.

[powndown]

I cant download custom maps how can i i want to idle :(

[xxHUNTINOxx]

i got for hats for doing this thanks man :)

[dr764]

i have been ideling about half of the day and i have gotten squat!

[anikikim]

@dr764 they lowered the drop rate. And me too I got shit lol

[XXShadowStalkXX]

@dr764 plus the drop system is changed so there is a cap

[husnain404]

what is idling?

[Gunpowder42]

how do i join a team/class?

[Zinthius22]

What do i do after X amount of hours? Ive idles for 8 and 11 hours and got Nothing. Ive seen dieng but im not sure what to do. Please Help. Thanks

[ACanadianGamer]

@Zinthius22

Hey. Unfortunately, evidence suggests that there is a daily limit for how many items you can find, and there is DEFINITELY a weekly limit, which seems to reset on Wed. or Thursdays. So either you hit the limit, or you're unlucky.

[EmiloeTM]

When i idle and come back i got like 5 items but it says discarded and i can't get any of the items? how do i do?

[EvilToaster77]

@NanCjerico2 That makes obvious sense...I know that the drop system is quite annoying, as you hardly get anything, If I remember correctly it's a 25% chance every 20 mins you will get a random weapon? Well yeah leaving the CPU on overnight while on an idle server...of course that works...

[dom1391]

@TheComplainer11 Valve made an update to where you get 11 hours a week to try to get items

[PurexEntertainment]

I don't know wether to idle...I need new weapons but I don't want to get hats. I also like the satisfaction of getting weapons

[surfwithkite]

How do you do so you se the server list like in counterstrike? i se mine as when u showed favorites

[Sectus2345]

I subscribed. Now subscribe to me x3

[Killerkalle06]

I can idling with our this program and commands? only stay in a idling server and then get items?

[Donkkill10]

WTF i idled for 12 hours today and got NOTHING :( i was spec idling and when i came back to check my inv

it said that this server has lost connection with steam

[Fammer130]

o and i added you as well my ingame name is (H)(A)(W)(K)

[Fammer130]

hey wat idle server do you use and can i have the ip to join it plz thx

[vegard125]

dude have you heard the news steve?now valve introduced a new thingy,people who join idle servers get lower chance of getting items,its lots easier playing,for like 40min you get a item

[steve04225]

@vegard125 Yes that update is old...I made a vid about it a week  ago...ty though :)

[FoxyPate]

can i still idle? beacuse i havent found anything after the update

[nadriel666]

golden machine gun best idle server too bad it iedd

[snip3pr0]

Hey, do you know is here a "cooldown" for getting weapons because last night i afked 10 hours got nothing then played in server for 3 hours got nothing :( please answer fast

[EvilToaster77]

So how do I do this do I download and then join an idle server, sit i spectate for a bit, join a team, die and then *poof* I get loads of weapons/hats?

1. How long do i have to wait to get weapons/hats?

2. Can this get me banned?

3. Does this work?

[steve04225]

@EvilToaster77 Download? what? I never mentioned downloading anything...

1: Drops are random but now there is a max amount of time you can play until you stop getting items.

2: no it cannot get you banned...

3: Yes it works

[EvilToaster77]

@steve04225 Thx for that, well what I meant with the downloading part, when I first joined the "Acheivement Idle" server I think it said "Downloading "Acheivment Idle", as i didnt have it before. But I can't remember if i did that, or whether or not I could just join the server as I already had it. =S

[EvilToaster77]

@steve04225 one more questtion though.

- If I join the "acheivement idle" server, join any random team, and just sit there for a while, how long will it take, and how many weapons can I get max? I only did it for 30 mins yesterday and I got an Equalizer. Lol I only want a Dead Ringer! That's all I need!

[ModernMoviesInGaming]

@steve04225 A freind told me it is illegal to idle now and you can get banned. True?

[SwiftFishy]

@steve04225 wat do u mean that there is a max amout of time you can play until you stop getting items?

[FredFredBurger234]

@EvilToaster77 you have to idle for like 4 houres for getting 1 - 2 items so... its long but all night yuo can get 12 my record is 16 items

[XMaXiMuMOwNaGeX]

I idled today for 7 hours today and only got Natasha. I closed the window, died, and still got nothing. Checked inventory, still just Natasha. WtF?!

[bdavisXXXXX]

@XMaXiMuMOwNaGeX did u spec if u didnt spec

[creepolicious]

is there a non-idling way to get items?

[kacper197]

@creepolicious Mile Stones.

[sergiuung]

@creepolicious yes, just play.

[IGOTTALEAF]

Hi thanks for this I wanted to find out how, and I subbed. thanks bye.

[inphantzz]

God, when i chose a server, i thought it was pretty awesome seeing as people were staying on for days but when i joined it, i went tobed and probably after an hours time i get kicked due to slot reservation. :(

[Estanova]

well i think this vid should be called how to find an idle server

[steve04225]

Well, that is all it takes...

Step 1:Join an idle server

Step 2:Leave your game open while connected to the idle server and in spectate.

Step 3:Come back, join a team and class die, and boom there is all of your items...

[Estanova]

@steve04225 do you just minimize it or just leave it there and walk away?

[sergiu0409]

@steve04225 um i wen t on and idle server, and spawned as a heavy and left it to work 6 hours and when i cam back after 6 hours i only got a sandvich? why? and how can i make em' stack?? plzz help?

[AssassinSReaPERX]

@steve04225 Don't you get disconnected when you idle in spectate?

[steve04225]

@AssassinSReaPERX no

[GamingSolutions]

@steve04225 , when i do it i get kicked in spectate

[magnusm4]

just go to a idle server and dont do anything

[DeaMeD0]

all u have to do is join a idle server?

[PenisCupcake]

LOL CC

[nintendo336]

[darkmaster543]
