Dunno if it's just me, but COD AW mp is really unstable. Most of my attempts to join a match have been stuck 'awaiting connection', which after 30 seconds just boots me back to the menu if I'm lucky, but sometimes it freezes so I have to alt f4 out. I had one straight up crash to desktop in a load screen too. Really unfortunate since it's actually a super fun shooter. In fact, I think it's my favorite cod mp in the series.

Well, you used the word reset.
Paying back customers to negate sell is not a reset, it's an amendment.

Basically, they need to keep everything that happened logged for audit reasons.
Whatever they choose to do after is fine since they administer the marketplace (and we all agree to it each time we sell/buy)
Of course, all of that needs to be logged too.

Well a functional reset would result in everyone being returned to their prior condition, by whatever means. Effectively that could mean refunds. Honestly though, since the transactions are almost entirely internal, I doubt they'd do refunds of Steam wallet purchases during that time, though they'd probably be obligated to do so if requested.

That solution was probably only viable very early on last night though, and at this point all I see them doing is reversing the gem only transactions. Which will effectively cost them quite a lot, but only in steam credit.

any other imprtant dlcs for dragon age origins besides awakening? cause the mystery deal for me today is awakening for $5. I'm wondering if i should just skip it and see if amazon does the ultimate(which includes all origins dlc) + da 2 deal for $10 again this year or just bite on the $5 awakening.

Cards market doesn't seem that different to me from yesterday... Or does it concern only expensive cards? I still have huge listing of pending card buying offers and only a few were bought during the night and all gem frenzy.
 
Another astonishing sale from GMG, this time regarding Midle Earth title. So, expect a lot of Magicka discounts on both base game and DLCs :l

Man, it's reassuring to know that after we all destroy ourselves in a Nuclear Fire armageddon, a few things will remain.

Cockroaches.
Plastic bottles.
And Magicka sales.

I think things that were affected most were expensive waifu cards and rare ones from F2P titles. There's a huge discrepancy between buy and sell orders for those titles now. Really haven't seen any other major impact.

Ultimate is what you want, IMO

I kinda thought so, I had no active listings for expensive cards, that's explains no change I'm seeing.

Wait for Ultimate. It will definitely be on sale on steam for $7.50.

Anything that was trending up seems to have been pushed back some, and as mentioned, high value stuff got pushed down, quite a lot in some cases. But I think a ton of demand was filled last night that will result in a continued downward trend across the board, especially once booster crafting comes back.

The sales volume spike is very noticeable though, basically any card I look at sold at least 50-75 copies yesterday even when previous days were only 1-2 copies.

I've had this sitting in my inventory for half a year at the very least, figured someone might want it.

... I'd also really love to know how I got it, if anyone knows. I'm pretty sure I never bought a second copy.

I've had a couple orders for To The Moon cards I needed for months, and this morning when I woke up I got them, something definitely happened.

Every copy of this game comes with an extra copy. So whoever gets this will also get an extra gift copy and so on

Well i always thought to implement something similar one day when and if i make video game :D But not weapons. For me early supporters should get more discount for DLC for example. Earlier you buy main game more discount you get on DLC release. :D I hope that i will be able to implement this one day.

Imagine if Bad Rats is using this XD

I would buy the Ultimate Edition and play:

- Warden's Keep, short but fun, it also gives you some passive extra abilities if you so choose, there's also a choice that is referred to in both DA2 and DAI;
- Return to Ostagar, short and somewhat interesting;
- Leliana's Song, it's a prequel with Leliana as central character; only play it if you really like Leliana, because it's pretty pointless and uses a lot of the same areas from the main campaign;
- Witch Hunt, it's the last DLC for DAO, a choice here might impact your warden story and DAI in some way (but I haven't tested this, since I don't have a warden with this particular choice made); also the companions here are at least likeable.

The Darkspawn Chronicle is an abomination.
The Golems of Amgarrak is annoying. It has the most difficult fight of the game, though. Difficult because the companions that you have here are totally useless and they die in like 2 minutes.

And I assume you already have The Stone Prisoner, as it's free with all new games. That's the best DLC.

I kinda hoped I'll find my list empty and all cards bought (><)
seeing as my list now consist mostly of cards that see very little market action if at all, not popular badges, games, I'm not surprised, though.
