[Item Box]

the majority of my friends list is on the best team and yet we're in dead last

what is this madness

 

[Stone Ocean]

HOLD ON.

WAIT A MINUTE.

Are you telling me... that people are willing to spend THIRTY TWO DOLLARS so they can switch to a team because they think they might win some games off their wishlist??

Is there any other reason one would switch colors??

PLEASE, someone, anyone, please tell me the chance to win a couple games is NOT why people are spending $32 to switch team colors.

 

[filipe]

I don't see how people are crafting so many badges for these points. Each card is either $10 in the store or 3 votes, how are so many people getting badges?

Where are you seeing 10 bucks for a card?

 

[PandaPedinte]

Just wanted to ask what the name of that mystical creature monster FPS was that got released a few years back when I found it myself. Legendary is just 0,74€ right now. Worth it? http://store.steampowered.com/app/16730/

Bad game, read Stumps review.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Are the points I made won't carry over to next day?

 

[Violence Jack]

The music in Blood Dragon is bloody fantastic.

Hell yes it is. I was up until 1 am playing it last night. Worth the exhaustion today.

 

[mclem]

Didn't really pay attention to the event until now. Wow. Making people craft badges to win a competition is deviously brilliant. Valve making bank. I was thinking of crafting the cheapest badge for the sake of it, but geez, the prices of all cards are rising.

I've still got a bunch of last year's summer sale cards. I'm wondering if it's worth looking to sell then now, I believe there's one full set in there and that's for a badge you can't get any more.

 

[Ogedai_Khan]

we have the power

 

[arts&crafts]

Where are you seeing 10 bucks for a card?

I think he means 10 bucks for a set, but really its like 3$

 

[Easton Dark]

Are the points I made won't carry over to next day?

Nope. You must craft new badges at the dawn of each day, when all things are reset.

So the wheel turns.

 

[Turfster]

Are the points I made won't carry over to next day?

Probably not. We'll find out in 40 minutes.

 

[Myshkin]

People are crafting Bad Rats badges.

Edit: He means you spend $10 in the store and get a card I suppose.

 

[Mister_Bubbles]

I feel like such a badass going for a run listening to that soundtrack, it pushes me TO THE LIMIT

 

[Chariot]

That's an unlucky choice.

 

[Hugstable]

Where are you seeing 10 bucks for a card?

I think he means when you spend 10$ in steam you get a card.

 

[benjipwns]

The 45 minutes to hour before each switch feels like I'm back in school during a bad class, just watching the clock.

 

[Zeliard]

Homura Akemi on my friends list with 1,047 points for Pink Team. You did us proud.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Probably not. We'll find out in 40 minutes.

I hope these two points I made aren't wasted :/

 

[syllogism]

The team switch items are probably too common and all the big spenders switched to purple. If that's the case, expect purple to steam roll all the way.

 

[Yakkue]

If you spend 10 dollars in the steam store buying games, you get a summer badge card as well.

 

[justjim89]

Where are you seeing 10 bucks for a card?

I meant you have to spend $10 in the store to get a card. I neglected to think about the marketplace.

 

[Branson]

Guys vote for Racing because I want Assetto Corsa

 

[AkuMifune]

Homura Akemi on my friends list with 1,047 points for Pink Team. You did us proud.

Is such a thing even possible?

 

[filipe]

Thought he meant he was seeing individual cards go for ten (which is believable, just hadn't seen any myself). My bad!

 

[Ibuki]

If the FPS category wins I will finally snag Gunslinger!

 

[Tenrius]

So I went to the Original Sin community hub and saw this thread.

Larian, Don't Put Your Game On Sale Before Release!
Larian, I spent $40 on Original Sin because I wanted to help you out with your finances.

I haven't played the game yet, because I want to play the full, finished version, spoiler free. Seriously. THIS is how you reward me?

You put the game on sale at 20% BEFORE you've even released it? Thanks a lot for that, Larian. That's really nice of you. Makes me feel like you had my back there.

Loyalty. Doesn't mean a thing anymore.

Do you think this guy has a point? Because, frankly, I don't. He says he wanted to give Larian money. Well, he did and now plenty more people will do it thanks for the sale. Never really understood sentiments like "our kickstarter backers paid $60, so we'll have to sell it exactly at that price".

 

[Chindogg]

Ok I'm confused.

Why is purple so absurdly far ahead?

 

[Caerith]

This isn't Summer Adventure so much as Summer Wars.

Spoiler

Which is a great film.

 

[bakeray]

Hearthstone packs or moar games.

It's a hard knock life.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Why is purple team so based?

Sooo... 20 pages overnight?
Sorry guys, not doing a quote wall for this

:/

 

[Baron_Calamity]

As someone who is just selling cards and not crafting, this venture has been very profitable. I hope the lunacy continues.

You back them to realize the release, the game is the gift.

Who actually buys hearthstone packs? Before i quit (I think s1?) i got a pack every day free by just playing arena, near the end ended up hoarding like 1k gold too.

 

[Acccent]

I just cleaned up my wishlist to remove games I only kinda want, or games that are super cheap, just in case I win in the prize draw :>

 

[AsylumX]

Not the same as mr orange though.

best i could do

I notice this thread goes so quickly lol. Make take on it.

Pages moved fast by the time my Internet came back up.

Thanks guys... I'll pick one. Sorry, for replying so late.

And go Pink Team on day 2... We can do it, now that purp spent all his moneyz...

I saw the same post, and no he doesn't have a point imo. He said he wanted to support them, so the discount should not be a factor really.

 

[Soroc]

I wish I knew more about crafting cards or was up on it when they first introduced it. I feel so lost on the whole crafting/marketplace part of Steam now.

 

[Anteater]

they should give out bonus points at the end of each day

like mario party

pink should get 50k bonus points for being the best color.

 

[Lomax]

I think Marlowe is a dollar.

Holy shit the trade servers aren't working ugghhhh fuck fuck fuck fuck

They are working (mostly), they just lie about it. I did a bunch of trades in the last hour between my account and my girlfriend's account and every single one gave me an error at every step, but still worked normally.

Considering the game tier price on the Kickstarter was $25/$28, it's still more expensive than that right now, so he has no point at all. Basically it's just sour grapes because he paid more and hasn't played it yet.

now that you mention it, very much alike!

Spoiler

good movie, agreed, lemme check can I conjure any amazing gifs of it

 

[Baron_Calamity]

The only winning move is not to play.

Gambling, its a hell of a drug.

 

[OmegaDL50]

Danmaku Unlimited 2, I hope?

I'm getting some serious Crimzon Clover vibes from that Danmaku Unlimited game.

The guy put money down very well knowing this will get discounted at some point in time. If he paid to support the dev, then he shouldn't be feeling entitlement because some people will get the game for cheaper.

If he wanted the full, retal game, he should have waited for the full, retail game.

Just shove the 3 most expensive games to the top of your wish list (by Ranking).

People don't seem to want to understand that kickstarter isn't buying something.
You're giving people money, and if you're lucky, you get something for it, but they're not required to give you anything.

 

[Diablohead]

no assetto discount for me today, you have failed me GAF

 

[KenOD]

Ok I'm confused.

You can buy tokens that give your team points, steal them from others, or let you switch teams.

 

[Acccent]

surprisingly, FPS won

 

[LDAF]

I say that Purple is on roids! :U
