Oh shit, that's really neat that they did proper art to go along with the dinky little cards.

it's the backgrounds you unlock I think

 

[Bumhead]

Just tried to boot up DOTA 2 and got a "Scanning for Steam game updates" message, that appears to be taking a really, really long time to do whatever it's doing.

Is this normal?

 

[Mavromatis]

it's the backgrounds you unlock I think

Here is an example of background:

It is a smaller copy since I don't have the actual background.

I assume the empty space is where your profile will be placed.

They really need to stop with the excessive compression on everything. Even these pngs are super ugly

I had that earlier today, restarted steam and then it launched instantly.

 

[derExperte]

Steam here's an idea: instead of letting me showcase a fucking useless badge, let me showcase one achievement of my choosing that was very hard to get.

According to the faq you can (in the future).

There are a lot of showcases to pick from, including your favorite games, best achievements, ...

Give us the full picture too.

What is going on with Steam Market?

 

[Fuu]

This is all so weird.

Any kind of community leveling up is shit in my book, but trading cards are a fun idea. Pretty funny to see people already getting obsessed.

 

[Refreshment.01]

Ok, so this will work more or less close to the gamer score on Live? Do you get cards by doing achievements?

 

[alr1ght]

What is going on?

Welcome to the next level

 

[Joe Molotov]

What is going on with Steam Market?

Cards.

What is going on with Steam Market?

I don't have half of those games on mine.

 

[phantomspiker]

Profile page looks neat, but the emoticons aren't working for me yet.

*edit* Just had to opt into the beta.

 

[SteveWinwood]

These card prices are going to crash so fast.

 

[Mavromatis]

These card prices are going to crash so fast.

Not if the drop resets every two week. Then, they'll crash a bit more slowly.

 

[Rickenslacker]

I have dota cards! Well this is cool I guess.

hey

gimme an invite

It appeared and then it disappeared. I think they are fixing bugs with the inventory system.

How do you craft your first card?

 

[Mavromatis]

Not if the drop resets every two week. Then, they'll crash a bit more slowly.

I just noticed that if you have the same card more than once it won't count against your drop limit.

 

[Chronoja]

How do you craft your first card?

You don't craft cards, they "drop" while you're playing the game in question or you trade / buy them off the market. Obtaining all the cards required let's you "craft" the associated badge.

How do emoticons get dropped then? When you craft your first badge?

 

[Iadien]

There are foil versions... haha

 

[phantomspiker]

How do you craft your first card?

You can only get cards by playing a trading card game or trading with other players. You can craft badges with the cards though.

*EDIT* beated

 

[Chronoja]

How do you emoticons get dropped then?

You earn emoticons and other rewards by leveling your steam account level.

Misread. Leveling the steam account gets you non trade-able rewards like extra friend slots and showcases etc.

Leveling up earns you non-tradable items like profile showcases, extra friends list slots, and more.

 

[n8]

How do you emoticons get dropped then?

You use a set of 5 cards to craft emoticons and backgrounds.

 

[Joe Molotov]

There are foil versions... haha

I can't wait to get one to sell on Marketplace!

 

[phantomspiker]

You earn emoticons and other rewards by leveling your steam account level.

You actually get them by crafting badges.

 

[zkylon]

I dunno how hard these are to get, but I got 3 beta access thingies if anyone wants 'em

edit: all gone

 

[Iadien]

I can't wait to get one to sell on Marketplace!

Me too!

Recap. I'm not getting cards to drop, is it just luck based or what?

Seems to be, I have tf2 and don't starve open, and I'm idle. I've gotten 3 tf2 cards and 2 don't starve cards so far.

Edit: Thanks, Zky! (Here's hoping they add a Dr Mobius trading card!)

Explicitly showing what cards you're missing and which friends have them is both genius and creepy.

 

[Chronoja]

Seems to be, I have tf2 and don't starve open, and I'm idle. I've gotten 3 tf2 cards and 2 don't starve cards so far.

How long have they been running. Trying to get an estimate on the drop rate. I managed to get 1 tf2 card in 34 minutes of play, but I'm assuming the first one is like a freebie to give people an idea what to expect.

 

[Salsa]

I love how catabarez is still using my mole's cap and snuggler's glasses on his avatar

so adorable

 

[Iadien]

TF2: 1.5 hours
Don't Starve: 45 minutes

do I have you on steam? pm me your username please

 

[cicero]

Here's another one, instead of making me have a ton of categories to keep my giant library organized allow me to rename games in my list so I can have sequels grouped together. So many games randomly spread out over my list. It constantly makes me feel like I've lost a game. I also own too many games to have a legitimate hope of correctly categorizing them all.

I am tired of my list of game categories that I want to keep unexpanded keep constantly auto-expanding for some unknown reason.

 

[Chronoja]

TF2: 1.5 hours
Don't Starve: 45 minutes

So rough estimation suggests that its a chance for a tf2 card every 30 minutes or so then.

 

[RS4-]

Damn, I just want CSGO to go on sale; keep on putting it off when it does happen.

 

[xelios]

Now that there's a list of all the upcoming Amazon sales I'll start weeding through it to make a list of Steam activated games. I'll post it when I'm done.

 

[Blizzard]

Earning the ability to add more friends? Maybe they will let me earn the abililty to expand TF2 backpacks without having to trade for or buy an extender. =P

 

[Mavromatis]

Now that there's a list of all the upcoming Amazon sales I'll start weeding through it to make a list of Steam activated games. I'll post it when I'm done.

Xelios is the hero GAF deserves, but not the one it needs right now with all the cards mania.
I fear that people will forget the main point of Steam, buying games and never playing them. Gabe is poisoning your minds with these cards!

 

[Hellix]

I can't wait for trading cards of TF2 hats.
