So did I read correctly you can actually pay money to switch teams? Wtf?

You can purchase a token on the market that will manually switch your team to the chosen color. Current prices are Purple ~US$29.00; Red ~US$14.00; Pink ~US$10.00; Blue, Green ~US$8.00.

Yesterday's prices were Purple ~US$45.00; Red,Pink, Blue, and Green ~US$13.00.


I put Prey as #1 on my wishlist, just in case. It's not gonna happen, but man wouldn't that be sweet?

Titles have to be currently purchasable. Steam can't legally sell the licences for Prey anymore.

Purple takes lead day one.

People pay to switch to purple.

Purple is swollen with new members (teehee) who have proven their willingness to pay to win

Purple continues to lead every day

Valve makes profit

surely I cant be the only one that thinks the tokens to change teams and steal points completely destroyed and sullied this meta?

it all looks so fucking shady now

I have to agree. When I first heard about that I thought the teams with the lowest lead would gang up on the leader but there isn't much interest to do that while second place reaps all the rewards for that effort.

So it just becomes a game of the top 2 stealing from each other until the sale is nearly over and both teams have exhausted their stealing reserves.

If Valve only wanted to reward one team I think they should've removed that and the ability to defect.

Whoop whoop.

Wow, you made it!
How many deaths, may I ask you? :D
Joking aside I know that area is veeery hard, I tried it for maybe an hour or so and only made it some times to the top room and a little down again.

Edit: I assumed this is one of those player levels, it is very similar to another part in the main game only it is much harder.

If people are paying to switch teams them I don't see how Valve mixes things up. Red is going to need an infusion or it just may be Team Purple every day.

Glad I got sent to the winning team right away. I can put my feet up, relax, and enjoy the potential rewards.

I like that a lot of people from here will be spending more money on this shady meta than actual games.

lol yeah, the meta is too crazy for me this time. I'll craft the sale badge as usual though.

Ah shit. I cant believe I missed Agarest and Agarest Zero on my first Steam sale. It was a flash deal! OMG... >.> Sigh.

just sold a Agarest Zero Waifu card (normal, not even foil) for 0.65€ if that makes you feel any better?

such random pictures for this
I mostly went with colors, but also a bit with the positions the teams are in. Purple is the leading prick that needs to be slapped, for example. For green I had actually Mace planned, but I found no good picture, so I went with her. And the last tokens are not created yet.
Blue was at the first place some time of the first day, but then they lost their head.

And pink... pink is the king of pimps.

Ugh. Fuck.

Not quite, not everyone is in a team yet. Those who continue to join will likely not be in Purple. Further to that, Valve can moderate by offsetting the Tokens to those not in Purple. In the end this is also how they balance many of their game's economies to ensure their economies are healthy and avoid events such as liquidity crisis.
