Steam Summer Sale 2015 thread of refunding everything you buy (June 11-21)

Currently on level 462.

Me and you need to team up, I feel. Highest I got was like 350 and then I started to switch rooms to try to join /v/ forgetting that 10 level above stuff and now I'm in the 400's or so. :/
 
Nope, haven't seen a single drop yet today and i started when it reset. Still says 3 card drop remaining for me. And i think i only got 2 yesterday.

It's pretty shit.
I only got 2 yesterday as well. Had the client idling the entire time, spent some time clicking when I thought it might have been tracking click activity but that didn't help either.

Yeah, I've received two already. I didn't get a third card yesterday, though.
Damn, stop stealing my cards j/k. Did you do anything special? Like leave and restart the game or join on a friend?
No, i've been wondering that myself.
Pretty much, it's not really explained what they mean by play the clicker game to get those cards. I enjoyed the certainty of just voting on a game to get a card.

I got two cards yesterday and none today, although one yesterday was a foil, so I can't complain.
I got a regular card and a foil as well yesterday as well and no more despite spending triple the amount of time I spent to get the first two.
 
So does the game thing restart your progress every day? I went on today "resume game" or whatever and I've got nothing but it gave me some badge point things.
 
I can definitely feel you on this, but it's hard to get too upset when they're still selling the game for $15 you know? What Rockstar was pulling seemed super sleazy, but this just feels more like "We want to offer the game for $30, and $15 on a daily, and those numbers don't line up pretty with a $40 base price."

I agree, $15 for TNO is perfectly fine. It's just that I'd much rather have them advertise the actual ~62% discount instead of the artificial 75%. As for Rockstar, they should've just said they weren't going to discount GTA V at all and I'd be happy with that. :-)

I just joined a friend's game, let the game itself load, then closed it.

Yes. You have to rejoin the game each day in order to continue receiving cards. This is covered in the OP.
 
Doublefine pulled a reversal and just lowered the base price of Spacebase from $15 to $10, making it $4.99 before a Daily Deal. It's $7.49 with Hack 'n' Slash.
 
Got the GTA IV complete edition for 7 bucks (75% off). Kinda have an itch to play that again (on PC this time). Nidhogg for 90% off also sounds very tempting.
 
So besides unlocking the Milestones for the following day sales and getting (theoretical) cards, any other reasons to grind the monster game? As it is now, I just have my armor/health decently high with most everything in auto-attack. Don't wanna miss out on anything else that I can't think of. At 458 right now.

Why am i looking at CS:GO?
I have never been a CS player... guess i'm just subconsciously wanting a new competitive shooter, considering Halo is no longer Halo.

OTOH, two things.
Just to make sure, CS:GO doesn't have ADS, right? I seem to recall that CS doesn't have that... or didn't, at least.
Does it ever have free weekends? Kind want to test things before buying it.
Even though low price is attractive, i'm not going to jump at this now, perhaps during Autumn or Christmas sale...
 
Badge levels, more badge points on the next day
Okay thanks. I'll just remain idle in there as I have been. Made the mistake of trying to get into another group which has more gaffers in it which was within 10 levels but it wouldn't let me in and then kicked me out of mine. Grinded back up to about where I was and now I'm gonna step aside a bit.

It's good if you want to learn Russian.

GO does not have ADS, yes. Outside of sniper/auto-sniper and the SSG 553/CT version having an "ADS" like mode.

No, no free weekend. It's $7.50 and that's the lowest it'll ever go. Just buy it.

Then why are you asking questions?
 
Dunno, you could be looking at Dirty Bomb instead.

What's the catch with that game?

I'll note that i detest unlock systems, at least unless they're cosmetic and optional (eg anything like COD).
But this doesn't seem to have one...?

It's good if you want to learn Russian.

Depends if voice chat or text chat. Because i don't use the former at all, unless playing with IRL friends.
 
Well living in Asia, publishers must think we're literal retards because because they literally just inflated the prices right when the sale started and some games didn't even change in price at all after the "sale" discount.

I'm done with steam sales, honestly. Scumbags.
