What is the droprate for booster packs for level >20? I spent most of the sale idling cards and just hit 20 as the sale ended.

All right guys I need some help here. After the whole Heartbleed fiasco I changed my Steam password. Problem is Keepass crashed and didn't save my new randomized password. I can't change my password without the old one and I can't make a support ticket without signing in. On the support page there's the option to retrieve a lost password via account name/email but I'm getting the "We could not find an account with that username or email address" which is obviously an error. Is there any other way I can contact Steam support?

Support accounts are separate from the normal Steam accounts. Create one.

I see it now on steamtrades, tons of RU copies.

something something snooze something lose.

my copy is still listed RU, just no restrictions

plenty of games are listed according to region but do nothing (see: the Remember Me (RU) I own)

region lock was applied after the fact so the restrictions dont work if you already activated it but the listing was always the same

that said: there's probably plenty of people on steamtrades or tf2outpost that have no trouble selling region locked copies without saying a thing, doesnt affect em

Once eligible, your Steam Level increases your rate of receiving a booster pack drop:
Level 10: +20% increase in your drop rate
Level 20: +40% increase in your drop rate
Level 30: +60% increase in your drop rate
Level 40: +80% increase in your drop rate
Level 50: +100% increase in your drop rate (i.e. the rate has doubled)

The problem is cross-region gifting. That's now blocked.

seeing as Testament is already on GMG, any chance the upcoming Sherlock Holmes game will be on GMG too? I can get it practically for free if I save up a few more credit hehe.

+60% of 0.000000001% is still nothing.
Just saying.

Anyone have any experience with booster drops level >20? I'd be lucky to get one per month @ level 15.

EDIT: I managed to get two during the sale.

This.

Also it helps if you have any retail keys for steam games to show as proof in the worst case scenario.

Lovely new thread. I'm surprised how many posts I have in the all-time hall of shame list, considering I haven't been around all that long.

SteamGAF's the best GAF.

Unless the developers are incompetent and broke the PC version, PC version is always the best version.

Isn't the point of Steam to rebuy games you already own on other systems?!

Checking in. Steam summer sale was the first steamgaf thread ever posted in. Think I'm gonna stick around. You guys are decent I guess ;)

I've been level 30+ since the previous sale, and I've gotten maybe 2 packs a month.
During the sale, when everyone and their dog was crafting, I got none.
Make of that what you will.

I'll take two packs a month over two packs over the course of nearly two years anytime :p

Probably will be frequenting this thread thanks to the summer sale threads. I had a very good time and it seems to be all the same people.

Normal thread again, yay!

Now back to check only ~two/three pages per hour instead of ten lol. But it was pretty fun :p

Love you SteamGaf!
