Steam Summer Sale 2015 thread of refunding everything you buy (June 11-21)

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but do the current flash sales disappear when the new ones appear in just under two hours? I know it says 24 hours in the OP but I don't see it specified on the Steam front page.

I'm confused too. ME says it's got 13 hours left, but the flash sales says the next one comes up in a hour.

Flash deals appear every 12 hours, remain for 24 hours total.
New dailies come every 24 hours, though they last 48 hours.

Clicking Play Now doesn't do anything to me :/

Yeah... yeah. That was me most of today. Only managed to get into the game about a half hour ago. Already at level 20, though.

Dunno how people are going at this. Once I get the 3 card drops for the day, I'm out.


My arm is on fire from the summer game clicks.

Are people botting? This is insane. Music is rad, too.

Autoclick. Stop torturing yourself. RSI isn't fun.
 
Thanks guys. Worth staying up then. Hopefully based on the time Steam won't shit the bed again.

according to the community thread the game is working now so it should be fine
im glad its every 12 hours for flash sales and 12pm the next day for dailies
i can sleep during this sale this time =P
 
What the hell. I tried the stupid summer game right as the summer sale started and couldn't get it to work, so I stopped bothering. Now I go to try it again and it says I'm level 46 with 586K gold? What?

Now I got it to start, but its stuck on loading 97/97. This thing's busted.

Ah so you can only get three summer cards per day in the monster game? Whenever I just start a game (without anything happening) I kept getting drops.

Similar to the guy above, I got in a couple hours ago and I was already on level 30, lol.

I had hundreds of thousands of coins. Went from doing little damage to doing 3k damage a click in just minutes. My "team" was clicking like crazy, didn't play long, and we hit Level 50 in well under an hour.

I'm curious to see where they are in the morning.

Off to bed.
 
Is the auto-fire cannon worth upgrading?

Get it to level 10 and you unlock another upgrade called advanced targeting which increases your auto-fire cannon's dps by 100 instead of just ten, honestly it seems the best way to play is get auto cannon to about 10, advanced targeting to around 5-7, then dump everything else into elemental damage upgrades and let the game play itself.

Yeah, I assume so. We used to only get 3 cards from voting a day so I reckon it's the same story/system.

We used to get 1 card with 3 votes, not 3 cards a day. The maximum you could get was like 10 - 11 cards during the whole sale, enough to craft 1 badge is you were at least lvl 8

The Steam servers are too busy for me to play the offline game I purchased. WTF?

Maybe I should refund everything I just "bought".

Right, right. I got 2 cards in the last hour, and it hasn't budged since. Not like I've bought anything except for an indie worth a buck. That is my error, though. Maybe it's one for starting the game, one every day then forward.

Clicking madness, really.

So I guess there's nothing much left to do if I can get the cards then, like I'd still see the discounts people will unlock right?

I was mistaken in the amount, as Asylum pointed out up there.

You'll still see those discounts. Entire community will. Whether or not you play.

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
The only deal that seems outstanding to me is the Metro Redux.

If you don't have those games or if you've only played Metro 2033, it's so worth it.
