Haha. Started up a new monster game and it finally grew to 1000/1000 players and then immediately, "The game is now over" popped up. So yeah, probably best to just wait until 10am PT to try and start again.

You can actually start games?! Are you a wizard?

 

[MrGlugi]

You can actually start games?! Are you a wizard?

After global reset you can start a new game.

 

[Nabs]

Yesterday I bought:

- upgrade from ds2 to ds2:sotfs 20 €
- edge 0,3 € (90% discount)
- killer is dead nightmare edition 10 €
- sonic cd 2 €
- metal gear ground zeroes 10 €

I think I'll buy a couple of more games in about one hour.

Don't listen to these losers. Buy hard, buy fast.

 

[Caerith]

Is everyone's Steam level being 0 an error on my end?

Nah, it's an error on Valve's end. Their community server is powered by an arthritic hamster running in a rusted wheel.

Likewise. I was wondering why it ended an hour before Valve o'clock.

 

[Respect]

Cities Skylines in 47 minutes...believe.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

New deals cant get here soon enough.

Btw, as I said earlier PICK UP METRO REDUX NOW if you havent already.

EASILY the best $10 you will spend.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Valve confirmed for animal cruelty.

 

[Azure Dream]

Oh no, I thought the monster game would be going for one more hour. Only managed to get 2 cards out of it today, even though I played for 6-7 hours.

I only got a second card when I started a new game just a bit ago (which didn't end up working). I haven't had them drop naturally with time, both in a web browser and in Steam itself.

 

[Neverforget]

I thought that I won't bite on the first day but I could not resist the sweet deal on Valkyries Chronicles.

 

[aku:jiki]

EASILY the best $10 you will spend.

No, that's Rebirth.

 

[TSM]

I think the next round of the monster game may not start until 1pm est. Maybe they are making some changes that make it not be absolutely terrible.

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

Because recipe drops are random and as such no one can answer that question for you brah.

not all of them, and not the one I asked about. I WIN, Brah

 

[Burnburn]

But I bought 2 games already steam ;_;. Wait, 2014 holiday, what?

 

[AkuMifune]

Not to rub salt in your wounds, but I played for 6-7 seconds and got two cards. The game is a boring waste of time.

My wife saw me playing and said, "Hah, and you make fun of cookie clicker."

 

[xeris]

So now I can't access my badges or profile pages at all and my steam level is showing as 0 instead of 27. Great. Any suggestions, or is Steam just being wonky?

 

[Blizzard]

In the Steam client, I only got 2 cards running the thing almost all night.

Until I get enough cards to craft the badge, I can't persist any cash or abilities over to the next day, correct? That's going to suck for a few days until I get 10 cards.

 

[Kadin]

I only got a second card when I started a new game just a bit ago (which didn't end up working). I haven't had them drop naturally with time, both in a web browser and in Steam itself.

Sounds about the same for me. I've got a total of 3 so far. 2 from starting games (1 just about 10mins ago) and then one random yesterday while in a monster group.

 

[Meeps]

So now I can't access my badges or profile pages at all and my steam level is showing as 0 instead of 27. Great. Any suggestions, or is Steam just being wonky?

Steam is just being wonky.

 

[KenOD]

So far this Steam sale has simply been #Shared_ButtonOK to me, not great, just #Shared_ButtonOK. Here's hoping for more titles to excite me.

On the plus side, plenty of good games to be gifted come that last day of sales that I'm sure won't get any Flash or Daily deals (already more than 90% off).

 

[KingBroly]

I didn't get any cards besides the ones I got for starting a new game.

 

[Nabs]

Oh no, I'm Steam Level 0.

 

[xeris]

Steam is just being wonky.

That's my guess. Was going to idle a game or two during lunch for cards but probably best to wait until this gets sorted out.

 

[Caerith]

Huh, my monster badge is level 150. Still only 100 exp, but at least it has an image now.

 

[marrec]

No, that's Rebirth.

Best game ever, for real.

(Maybe #2 depending on how I feel at the specific moment)

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Huh, my monster badge is level 150. Still only 100 exp, but at least it has an image now.

Mine is somehow Level 250.

 

[Kadin]

Huh, my monster badge is level 150. Still only 100 exp, but at least it has an image now.

Ah nice, just saw mine is 120.

 

[C4rter]

if ive never played the original HL, is it still worth buying or should I just get Black Mesa?

Get the original and install the free Black Mesa mod.

 

[dgrdsv]

That's the most of the Summer Sale Game I've seen yet. GG Steam.

 

[RiccochetJ]

Wonder what day 2 will bring. There was nothing on day 1 that interested me. My wallet was safe for a day!

 

[Caerith]

Mine is somehow Level 250.

Ah nice, just saw mine is 120.

Tied to the highest level cleared, I guess. Or at least the highest level with a boss. Still just 100 exp?

 

[Robaperas]

Oh no, I'm Steam Level 0.

Me too... my precious and useless badges, all gone.

 

[Rockstar Beaver]

Cities Skylines in 47 minutes...believe.

 

[Bytes]

On my profile page, most of my friends have disappeared.

It's like real life or something.

 

[chadskin]

WHO BROKE DA GAME

0 people playing

[Videospel]

Oh no, I'm Steam Level 0.

They got us all for using auto clickers in the monster game.

 

[Kadin]

Tied to the highest level cleared, I guess. Or at least the highest level with a boss. Still just 100 exp?

I can't tell. I can't see any details of the badge right now and I can't even edit my showcase to show the new badge. Steam is all sorts of borked atm.

 

[Youta Mottenai]

Got the GTA complete pack. Holy shit GTA IV is the worst piece of sh*t game I've ever installed.

Had to download gaming for windows or something? and then launch it in windows 7 compatibility mode. the game launches in 800x600 and is a real pain in the ass to try adjust and even then it's still totally broken cause you can't adjust anything at all.

I give up. Completely uninstalling it. How can Rockstar allow this? I know the game is years old but c'mon. Just happy I got it on a sale for dirt cheap.

Ever since this sale started Rockstar has gone done fucked up big time. Ripping off people for GTA V and IV won't even run on a modern system.

After 3 days trying to make it run, I gave up too. Got the game running but couldn't save in single player because GFWL won't connect if you have 2-step verification on.

 

[Plasmid]

Do we think the fallout games will go lower than 11.99? And portal 2 lower than 4.99?

 

[TheSeks]

if ive never played the original HL, is it still worth buying or should I just get Black Mesa?

You can get HL1/HL1:Source and various other games for $5 less than Black Mesa AND play the "original intended" without missing two or three levels. So yes, it's worth getting the original Half-Life until Black Mesa is finished finished.

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

So is that it? The monster game will be starting again from scratch every day?

Booooooo.

 

[inm8num2]

I bought Outlast: The Whistleblower DLC, my only purchase thus far.

Ziggurat is tempting but it's probably going to be in a HIB within the next 3 months.

Bring on day 2!

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Legacy of Kain collection worth it for someone who knows zero information about Kain games, including what they play like or even what genre they are?

 

[jacobeid]

Do we think the fallout games will go lower than 11.99?

Absolutely.

 

[demosthenes]

Cities Skylines in 47 minutes...believe.

PLEASE

 

[Merguson]

That bad with GTA IV, huh? I'll do a refund. Not worth it. I already played it.

I'll keep San Andreas to keep the old trilogy complete, though. There's a patch called 'SilentPatch' that deals with issues regarding GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas apparently.

 

[Krystof Koreni]

Is the Boss Loot upgrade even worth it?

It unlocks the third cannon upgrade, "Farming Equipment".

 

[Axonometri]

Damn it! I spent all that time guiding my Monster game for me to come back to it broke or reset?!?! Grrr Where did the community unlocks go?

 

[Benedict]

Why am I level 0 all of a sudden on steam?

 

[Stumpokapow]

Damn it! I spent all that time guiding my Monster game for me to come back to it broke or reset?!?! Grrr Where did the community unlocks go?

the community unlocks will come up at 10 PDT (9 PST) like they said it would.

the game resets every day like they said it would--your progress from the previous game gives you "badge points" that helps you start with an advantage in this game.

 

[xeris]

Of course everything is working again right after I submit a support ticket. I'm betting 1pm EST is going to be fun.
