Dice posted on this very page!
Perfect, I'm in it for the levels, not for the selling.

Some dude already (broke NDA and?) spilled the beans that it's the meta-game.
They also implied we will have special Steam Sale Badges based on the games on sale that day. Which is, like everything Valve does concerning Steam, both evil and genius.

Well, they kind of need time.
Yeah, that Greenlight-based sale when Greenlight just came out was amazing.
wait.
Ah, still no foil friend? Same here, 28 drops now and no foil to be seen.

I read somewhere (or perhaps imagined?) that the foil drop rate is ~1%, so 0/28 (as I am, thereabouts) can't be considered unlucky at this stage, I guess. I still curse my 'luck' when every non-foily JPEG lands in my inventory, though.
I have visions of folks at Valve regularly twiddling knobs and adjusting sliders to vary the card rates depending on market activity etc - we are merely their puppets, after all.

It was in this thread.
It was basically "yeah, that's the meta-game. There will be special badges".
So these are all "Series 1" cards. I'm assuming that eventually there'll be a series 2 etc, wonder if the old cards will be retired or they'll add to them? Could be worth holding on to cards if they get replaced as the price will increase. Obviously a while away before something like that could happen though.
Yeah I've started holding onto my non shitty games cards for that reason. Hopefully rarity becomes a thing because 1st issues are always the more expensive.

33% off code for Strike Suit Zero up for anyone who wants it.
Not a brilliant offering but I'll never use it.
Just add me on steam http://steamcommunity.com/id/prisonmikescott/

"Of course we are developing on a PC, so we look forward to releasing something on the PC sometime, but right now we have no release date, we are not really looking to do that right now, that's not a priority, so, we are making it and we hope to put it out [on PC] as well"
So basically console version first and PC version later.

Have you already bought the pack? Because I did, so if you or anyone else wants in quote and pm me. (edit: 0 spots left)
My internet was down last night (strange, I know!), so if had an Xbone I would have been totally screwed.
Does anyone else not want to play games when they're offline, due to achievements not unlocking and play time not being tracked? I spent my night playing Windows Solitaire and listening to a Foo Fighters album (which, by the way, ended up being absolutely awesome).

I'm going to do this whenever I can get a drop of connection at home. Or maybe I'll actually play it; I tried it a while ago and it was fun.
Thanks for the offer but have already bought the pack. Got 1 copy left if anyone interested. Pm and quote.

They don't? I could swear Football Manager unlocked some when I my internet went down a few months ago.

Depends on the game. So do, some don't.

They do? I didn't know this. Still, I'd like it to track my time, so...
Depends on the game; some allow it, some don't. Darksiders 2 is another example of a game that supports offline achievements.

It's sad that I would rather play this on PS4 than have to use Origin. For a new IP, and one that is focused on multiplayer, they really need to build a following for their game. Releasing it on Steam will reach the biggest audience.

I take my computer out of town with me quite a bit and I have no problems with achievements not unlocking in offline mode (they unlock like normal, and then update to steam next time the client is online and you click on the game in the interface), the game time not being tracked is a little annoying, and its annoying not being able to see the achievements list because its ostensibly just a web page on steams website. I've also noticed the longer I have steam offline, the more games lose their steam grid icons if they aren't custom, must be a weird caching problem.

It's unbelievable how many cards I've had double. Are there different drop chances in cards that make some rarer or something?
gutterboy44
Member
Same, and based on the market saturation of the doubles I get, I have a feeling there is some weight to which one drops. Could just be confirmation bias but it is odd that I got two Salvadors and then went to check the market and saw his card is the most flooded.

Might be bugs in the RNG when issuing cards, or just circumstantial. I got 2 Handsome Jacks that were the most expensive BL2 cards on the market at the time, and yesterday I got 3 stealth cruisers that were the least expensive. So its hard to tell.

Hm, buy FTL now for 4,99 or wait for a cheaper price which probably will push the prices of the cards even further down (though it seems everyone but me owns the game already)? Buying games has become so complicated..

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Huh? Never knew that. Not that I bother to play what I buy but still nice to know.
There needs to be a second phase to the beta where Valve introduces a playground so we can all huddle round in a circle going "got, got, got, need, got, got..."

You should buy FTL irregardless of the cards. Game is fantastic.

If John Legend made indie games I would soooo buy them. Especially if he did the narration and voicework too.
LEGO Lord of the Rings - $6.00 at GMG with voucher GMG20-JLKSA-7A8HA
I hope it's gonna be part of one of those indie bundles at some point

Well crafting badges is only worth it for the XP at this point. Are there any backgrounds or emoticons that are actually worth more than a quarter?
Not only do they lose the grid images, but the detail view icons too. I don't understand why Steam doesn't have a local copy of those images, as a kind of cache, and only update them when needed/prompted to.
