Unlike all the other bosses in the game, I believe your progress saves between deaths on that boss, so you can just zerg it if you really need to.
Yeah, those kind of achievements almost demand that you lose all the fun and joy of the game. I'd rather get that kind of achievement years later, while playing the game without that specific goal in mindWell, I played it two times on PS3 (vanilla), then I bought the boxed PC version because it came with an artbook, ost and behind the scenes, plus Arthorias DLC, and I played something like 4 or 5 times on PC. I really don't want to do all over again to gain some achievements
I only miss the ugliest ones, like "Find all weapons", "Find all miracles"....I couldn't stomach the game anymore.

Are the Enhanced Steam servers having trouble? When on my badge page the values of the remaining card drops don't show up.
That would be an extremely radical move and piss of all of Russia. A round of price increases is much more likely. Would still piss off many of course.

Gem stuff is permanent. It will be likely used in future events too.
It how much rouble is crashing it wouldn't surprise me much.
Got here to post this.
This is fun so if you wanna get something chep - this is time to get it.
Hopefully it's gonna be just the transition - not the "$60-for-Call-of-Duty:-Advanced-Warfare" thing.
Seems to have fallen to 72 now...

Steam - It's only for the Oligarchs.
There's dollar prices for CIS, which is lower than US.
You don't actually have to melee the things on the side (or at least the left side from where you face), you can just break up the cover thingies and kill it with arrows.
There is one thing I would like to know, but I guess we'll never know. Valve thanked all devs for donating games. Does it mean that all profit from selling-buying gems that are used in auction goes for Valve and nothing for devs?
no doom and gloom post, I was bracing myself for?
really, that's bad for millions of people, very bad, scary thought that people will get angry, and we all know that it never ends well for anybody

I have to imagine they got something out of it. I doubt either the devs or Valve are going to make the details public though.

ES servers must be dead, not getting the regional prices on the store pages either.
Well I hope they wait until after the sale so I can still get a few things. Maybe they'll even make an announcement á la "LAST CHANCE, RUBLE IS DEAD".

Well, Square Enix seemed to stayed away from it. Can't be that much money.

Gabe Newell to buy out Russia and reap the rewards of the illegal black market Steam trading. 30% cut on all transactions.
Oh, totally forgot about that thing! Thanks for the info!
Still, $40 for CoD: AW when the retail price for it is $17 or so - madness.
that would be almost perfect scenario and that's why it won't happen this way (><)
I had one earlier today, don't really want to repeat myself. Too scared for that.
(In any case, it's a good thing I live close to German border)

I won. Sorry snipers!
It was just a 1200 bid so anyone short of gems can bid there.

Parking in ETS2 is too hard.
I have no clue what I'm doing when I'm backing >.<

No. I think the idea is stability. They can charge a lower price in USD but by using USD you can avoid massive fluctuations. The bigger issues is the possible difficulty for Russian users to easily make payments in usd, and minimising any costs incurred in their part
Might not even be money. It could be time on the front page, or anything else for that matter.
yeah, parking is a killer in ETS2, I really hope it's not that hard to park a truck in real life, because it it is, how people even get any work done, when you need 20 minutes to park! (><)

I'm pretty sure I've seen at least one of the devs tweet that it's "for the exposure" ... nothing more than that ... so yeah - the only winner in all that auction bullshit is volvo and volvo alone
Yeah. I'd imagine the reason they'd be doing this is for stability. The ruble is clearly not stable right now, so it's not really good for them to accept it.
Agreed, but according to some newspapers, like a Norwegian one, many shops in Russia are already switching curencies.

Russians escapes from the rub

Rough figure, currently there are 20,477 gem shack which means 20,477,000 gems which should be produced by liquidating 255,962 bgs and emoties. 2 days auction might absord around, lets say, 4 mil. Another 50,000 bgs and emoties. It's hard to believe that combined bgs and emoties in the wild are not exceeding a million if not millions.
However, it seems the market isn't swamped by bgs and emoties for now.
I suspect some people are hoarding them.
I'll see how thing go for several days more. If things go sour, I'll just use it to bid Substance Painter.

There's something not working somewhere, as ES seems to 'timeout' trying to load up the data.

And apparently everyone has gone shopping to grab as much as possible before it gets worse.
If that's the case, it actually takes big part of enjoyment from this event for me... It seems that buying a game on sale is like 100% better option.
I wish we knew for sure.
Just edited my previous post.
Here is the edit:

Including their stockpiles of uranium and plutonium. Oh, and Novichok nerve agent.

A few images are broken but otherwise it works fine.
Bear in mind, its the devs and publishers that are going to be wanting such a change too. The worst outcome is for Valve to do nothing and gradually see devs and pubs pull their games from Russian sale, destroying much of the work valve have done for improving that market
Yeah, I mean the ruble price tanking is money lost for both publishers and Valve. I'd wager the ruble price(valued as it was a few months back) is the lowest publishers would want to sell their game.

lol, no ... I'm like 99.9% sure they'll do it BEFORE the sale ...
They can but why would they tho?
Just straighten yourself out and look back while reversing. It's pretty easy after ten or so tries.

I try, but even if I'm straight the trailer just goes berserk on me :\
What's the key for the camara to look back through the window?
