Yeah, I meant what's available to you without buying any microtransactions.

The 100 energy per day seems like it'll put a huge damper on how much you can play, and some of the late-game stuff looks like it would be nearly impossible without buying more energy. 3-star items cost 200 energy to craft, so just to do that you'd have to buy an energy pack from the auction house and use your full day's energy, and that just gets you one item. And then the highest level stuff takes 800 energy to craft.

Maybe once you get deeper into the game it's easier to get money, but right now the prospect of buying energy with in-game money seems really expensive to me. I expect to hit a wall at some point where it'll take like, a month of playing in order to earn the money/materials to do anything.

I've had a chance to play all the way to Tier 3 stuff. It does get easier to make money, much easier, especially when you get lucky wit finding blueprints in the store during dungeon runs and crafting stuff for people. But the game itself gets a bit slow when the dungeons start looking to same (art-style, not the layout) and you end up spending a ton of energy reviving and etc.

So it does get easier, but I started to find the game boring. Energy really isn't a problem when you can buy it (but back in my day it was worth 25.k compared to 5.5k nowadays).

For the new page:

Alright, so:

1.) Pandoracell
2.) MotorbreathX
3.) ?
4.) ?

Two more needed, one of which will need to host.

 

[drizzle]

Would there be a reason we couldn't? I haven't sent money over paypal in over five years, and I assumed people used the gift option when doing four packs here.

I'm from Brazil and I can't Gift send money to most people. I could I think ONCE, a long ass time ago. Can't anymore.

For the new page:

Count me in.

 

[Sanic]

Ok, so that's three. I'm going to bed now, but tomorrow morning EDT I can pay, or if two more people want to do it in the meantime than someone can just feel free to take my spot.

 

[Weenerz]

Not sure if the .90$ or whatever you're saving is worth the hassle.

 

[Stallion Free]

Welcome to the Steam thread.

 

[Joe Molotov]

If a game was $0.50, but you could get it for $0.33 if you buy a 15 game bundle, people would be organizing bundles.

So true.

 

[toastyToast]

Anyone who wants a piece of the action shoot me a PM and I'll give you my paypal infos.

[Dwayne]

So is the sale starting tomorrow?

 

[Card Boy]

So is the sale starting tomorrow?

My wallet says "I hope not"

 

[Jomjom]

I dont think steam would start their big sale on the same day gog starts theirs would they?

 

[Symphonic]

I dont think steam would start their big sale on the same day gog starts theirs would they?

No reason not to.

Was there a confirmation of a summer sale? Everyone acts like it's a sure thing this year.

 

[Snuggles]

GOG - monday aka tomorrow

Steam - friday aka 5 days from now

or so we speculate, only the GOG sale is a sure thing

 

[Lothars]

Nope no confirmation just assumed at the moment.

 

[Symphonic]

Nope no confirmation just assumed at the moment.

Bummer. I'm not gonna bother getting excited then.

We need LovingSteam to give us some insider info, whether there is a summer sale or not. :/

Anyways, I deleted the nProtect garbage manually.

Following this guide:

Linky!

It was consistent with other articles that offered the same advice. Deleted it all, and everything is good to go.

Also what a piece of garbage Alliance of Valiant Arms is, don't let the pretty graphics fool you.

he's already defected to EA Origin so it's just a waiting game now

whatever, I'm not opposed to a big summer sale but I already have plenty to play and buy @ other websites

Beat Singularity, really enjoyed it.

Now, does "Delete Local Game Content" mean to uninstall? That's what I'm looking to do right now.

It will definitely uninstall, but you might lose your saves as well unless you copy/paste them into a separate folder before the process.

Yep. And you can reinstall any time you feel like it. Steam does it right.

Yes

 

[Azure Dream]

I've had 3 BSODs tonight, but to be fair I can't tell if that's nProtect fucking something up, or Chrome updating earlier tonight.

Already had done step 1 and 2, and did some minor registry cleaning and turned off the service, but I knew there had to be more than that. Thanks indeed. And thanks again to LocoMrPollock for suggesting the utility. Didn't have the nerve to try it, sometimes it's better to just manually scrub if you can.

Edit: Word of warning, I found not only npggsvc under the unnumbered CurrentControlSet/Services in the registry, but a second copy under CurrentControlSet002/Services as well.

Is he working in Valve?

 

[markot]

Is he working in Valve?

Dont think so >.<

 

[Smash88]

Is he working in Valve?

He knows people.

 

[Yaska]

Well either way, we'll see if there's a sale beginning today in 10 hours or so.

 

[Aselith]

He knows people.

Top...men...

 

[kamspy]

Didn't last year's sales lead up to July 4th?

 

[witchedwiz]

summer steam sale incoming...

 

[Smash88]

Well either way, we'll see if there's a sale beginning today in 10 hours or so.

Actually we won't. It is most likely to start this Thursday or Friday, based on last years summer sale.

 

[IrishNinja]

crap, hadnt even thought about the possibility of not having a summer sale. were there any precursors last year? i know lovingsteam had info, but before it started? was there any server downtime, etc?

 

[Polk]

I cannot wait for summer sale so people could stop asking for it.
It got ridiculous, like anyone aside Valve themselves know anything sure about it.

Yeah, I'm sure the publishers behind the games that are to go on sale (assuming there actually is an upcoming sale) know nothing of it.

 

[vocab]

I wish I could say I'm ready for the sale, but I already own pretty much everything I want. I will only snag dirt cheap bundles.

 

[The_Player]

Haha, never noticed that screenshots in X3: Terrain Conflict has a FRAPS' overlay in it. And FPS is pretty low.

 

[Fredescu]

Red means video recording is in progress right? That will put a dent in the framerate. The one yellow one is 26 though which is pretty low.

 

[Drkirby]

Looks like a PC version of Tobe's Vertical Adventure is in the works, but no idea of how long till it releases.

 

[InfectedZero]

Magicka is $5 of at Gamersgate. Steamworks I liked the demo when I tried it out a month ago, it was pretty cool.http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-MAGICKA/magicka

GG says July 18 ($10). Will have Steam Cheesemints.

Well, it is their game, but since the game is $3 on Xbox Indie games, I was expecting a $5 price tag.

 

[Snuggles]

Yeah, kinda funny to see that on it's Steam page. I guess only a few care about this game.

I bought it on a whim even though it's probably too complicated for a simpleton like me.

Also, thanks for inspiring me to fire up X3 again and get completely lost and confused. I can't remember how to park my ship at a station. I ended up flying around for awhile and then crashing into something.

http://steamcommunity.com/id/Snuggler/screenshots/ took a few nice shots, though

Awesome news. Been wanting to play that.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

X3 is awesome.

 

[kurtrussell]

Skimmed through the last few pages here - is the general consensus that the big steam sale starts today?
