Seems to differ dependent on the game for me, for example, Don't starve gave me a card at the start of each day, and nothing when idling on menu or pause. Monaco only gave me a card when I finished the first level.

I cannot believe it is just based on time, to coincidental, especially DS.

It has to be time based, because people get cards using SAM instead of booting the games.

 

[fantomena]

Nice to see Metal Slug climbing up on list.

 

[Nokterian]

Goddamn red and purple being the two highest is not fair towards those other teams.

 

[Tizoc]

Sorry for going OT guys, but I made a video of my GPU issue in case anyone has seen something similar. PM if you wouldn't mind to now clutter up this thread.

...why are you buying off the market? You can buy fixed from marketplace.tl, but going the steamtrades route is still going to be a ton cheaper.


________________________________________________

So many green bars on the games, thanks to ES. Underwhelming when you own everything you would want.

Huh? Community Market has some cheap keys saw them go as low as $2.20.

Anyways managed to get the big 3 games:
Dead Rising 3, Divinity OS (no dlc) and Witcher 3...ALL FOR UNDER $60!
PRAISE THE RONAN! PRAISE THE GABE!

Gonna give up idling for cards during sales. Idling takes forever.

Nah, just do one game at a time. I can usually do 5 cards in a bit over 2 hours. Play some PS3 or watch a movie while idling and the time goes by really quick. Lol I'm super addicted to this whole card process now. I've sold so many stupid cards that steam had to send me a tax info application. Also, Go team Red!

 

[robotrock]

...I need BlazBlue....

Gonna give up idling for cards during sales. Idling takes forever.

I started off using it as an excuse to play an hour or so of games on my backlog. Then just idled things. Now I might start playing again.

So is it possible to just leave the game on and steam will dump cards out over time?

Sorry, I don't know what you mean by SAM. What is that?

 

[JaseC]

As long as Steam considers you in-game you'll get a drop every 10~20 minutes (server performance permitting).

 

[JaseC]

Sorry, I don't know what you mean by SAM. What is that?

It's a program that can be used to unlock/re-lock achievements, but also comes in handy for idling in games without having to actually download them. Alternatively, there's the app id trick.

Edit: D'oh, forgot to switch tabs.

 

[TsuXna]

yeaa purple leading again.

 

[bigace33]

So is it possible to just leave the game on and steam will dump cards out over time?

Yeah, I have two games idling now. More than one game idling does really slow the process, but like Jace said, normally you get like a card every 20 or 30 minutes or so. sometimes faster.

 

[rudieboy77]

I wonder if this contest between purple and red isn't being egged on in some way?

 

[Tizoc]

Steam is getting hammered, trying to buy some stuff but it won't proceed >_>;

 

[Pachimari]

This is nightmare inducing. Isn't a way to make the game look better?

I don't know? I have everything set to high. =/

I don't want faceless girls dancing around me.

Pics man pics!

I'll do it when I get back home.

 

[gabbo]

That's still limited to 3-4 cards a game though right? they haven't changed it for the sale.

 

[Poetic]

You guys think Skyrim Legendary will hit a daily or flash before the end of this? I'd love to snatch it up for less than $20.

 

[Nipo]

Has anyone out there played Democracy 3? It looks like the kind of game I would like but reviews seem really polarized.

 

[Ostinatto]

Getting a ridiculously fast speed from Steam <3

i live in Santiago Chile. :O

 

[Pachimari]

Someone bought my Sony HMZ-T1 headset. Bring on the sales heh.

This is what I'm waiting for.

How do you do two?

 

[JaseC]

It varies. The amount of drops you get depends on how many cards are in the set and whether the total is even or uneven (e.g. 8 cards = 4 drops [i.e. half]; 9 cards = 5 drops).

 

[Yrael]

Probably. It was very cheap during the last sale.

 

[Tizoc]

Team Green, if this keeps up I won't be bringing the hot green haired and/or green skinned divas and idols for the Summer Sale after party, STEP UP YOUR GAME DAMNIT!

 

[Godan]

As long as Steam considers you in-game you'll get a drop every 10~20 minutes (server performance permitting).

So you just get the steam cards at random just as long as you are in a game from steam?

 

[gabbo]

It varies. The amount of drops you get depends on how many cards are in the set and whether the total is even or uneven (e.g. 8 cards = 4 drops [i.e. half]; 9 cards = 5 drops).

But it's still not full sets, which is what I was getting at. Thank you for the clarification

 

[Banana Aeon]

Yo, is GRID 2 any good? I've been aching for a racing game, and I wonder if this is the one that can cure that desire.

 

[milena87]

Team Green, if this keeps up I won't be bringing the hot green haired and/or green skinned divas and idols for the Summer Sale after party, STEP UP YOUR GAME DAMNIT!

Well, it's useless today. Maybe tomorrow!

Spoiler

We'll lose tomorrow as well

 

[Pachimari]

Guys, if I have money on my Steam account, and I buy something from my phone which uses the same account, will it use the money I have in my Steam wallet or withdraw from my credit card?

 

[JaseC]

So you just get the steam cards at random just as long as you are in a game from steam?

The game itself must support trading cards, and just to clarify you don't earn sale cards through idling, just the cards pertaining to the game itself. You can view your badge page to see which of your owned games have drops remaining (install Enhanced Steam to order your list by highest drop value), and a full list of games on the store that support trading cards can be found here.

But it's still not full sets, which is what I was getting at. Thank you for the clarification

Ah, yeah. To complete a set you either need to trade among your friends or buy them from the market, as I'm sure you're aware.

 

[Vuze]

I remember that somebody posted some kind of "crushed blacks fix" for State of Decay a few weeks ago in the Steam Thread. It looked very good but I can't seem to find it via google. Do you guys happen to have the link to it? Or was it just some kind of SFX preset? Can't remember.

 

[ToyMachine228]

Just want to say, I think Heavy Bullets is awesome. It's on sale for 25% off for the entire sale it looks like so give it a try!

 

[Biochet]

[DrAg0nBoY]

Gaf I have a question. Which game do you more recommend. Payday 2 or The Walking Dead Season 1? I know there are two completely different games but still.

I would like to try Payday 2 but I don't have any friends to play with. The Walking Dead on the other side I don't know if I will ever finish ...

So any advice?

 

[The_Monk]

Yo, is GRID 2 any good? I've been aching for a racing game, and I wonder if this is the one that can cure that desire.

Yes, and it looks really good too. Decent amount of cars and tracks but I wish they didn't gave us so much DLC because most things in it should be in the main game. Main complaint is that there's not Cockpit view but if you can live with that it's great game. I would say it's more arcade than a Sim and 60 FPS is a bliss. Racing at night, or in places like Dubai is really fun.

Bonus: When you are in the garage checking for cars or events the music that plays there is very relaxing and makes you think about life.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Assassin's Creed IV has a relatively decent price, but I can't jump on it.

I voted for the Ultra SFIV pricing error.

 

[Chinese Cartoons]

Played it on 360 and it was playable but man it was boring. Perma death is also sucks.

You have souls avatar and you're complaining about perma death in a zombie survival game?

 

[mrklaw]

Yo, is GRID 2 any good? I've been aching for a racing game, and I wonder if this is the one that can cure that desire.

Its pretty good. Quite a lot of city driving rather than actual race tracks. Plays quite arcadey, so more like PGR than GT.

I was looking at the DLC pack, but its only £1.20 more to buy the DLC and another copy of the game

 

[Chariot]

It's funny when so many people here are unsure if they should buy Payday 2 because they have no friends to play with. If all those people would buy the game, that alone would make several teams. Come on guys, there have to be enough Gaffers with Payday 2, so don't worry about mates.

 

[tiny raptor]

Woke up a little while ago.

Had a dream that I got a foil. O_O

Yeah, it's just a SweetFX config file.

Mooorrtall Kommbaattt!!!

He's hoping SSFIV:AE becoming a featured deal will see the discount being mistakenly applied to Ultra.
