Steam Trading

I've got 7 coal, a 50% off on x 3 gold, 25% off atari, 50% off APOX (I mean really? -.-), 25% off a single valve game and 50% off total war shogun 2. If anyone wants the coupons I'd be glad to trade for coal. I suppose shogun 2 could be useful. I'm betting the price will come down before the standalone expansion is released in March so that would make it cheaper than 50% of what it is now though you can get it for 70% off currently at gamersgate.

Why is everyone wasting their coals so early? Either way it's entirely random. I suppose that means those who collect have a better chance of getting the valve pack (I know it's pointless but the valve pack makes for good gifts to those who don't have those games which isn't entirely bad and considering they're giving a 1000 away and based on those who joined the group there's 700k in the chances I'd say for those with a few coals the chances are higher since everyone seems to be converting the coals to prizes for the most part?).

 

Besides I've noticed a pattern people who redeem coals at a similar time seem to be getting same-ish items. I've seen 3 people get the activision coupon from a 7 coal convert and they did it about in a span of 2 hours. I've seen a few get that basketball game about 7 if my tracking is correct within a span of 4 hours. I think the coupons while random are tied to a date i.e. there are more coupons of a said type available on a day. My advice is wait and see what people are getting before converting your coals and to actually convert them on the last date :P. However on all the threads I read it is amusing reading the amount of disgruntling. I'm sort of enjoying the randomness.

 

And lol people do buy railworks for some reason. I'd much rather buy an actual trainset when I move to a bigger house. XD

I'm not being really disgruntled about the coupons, I think it's hilarious how I'm getting either them, or coal that is smelted into them. I have like... three games I really want, but also received a bunch of them, so it's kinda hard to complain how a certain sweepstake is bringing me little luck.

 

I just intend to save one single coal for the "grand prize" thing, to be honest.

I didn't mean these forums, I've been following at least 6 different threads on this and honestly this is the only place where people aren't whining as much.

 

edited to add: Some people are even saying a game is bad because they want the acheivements only and can't get them quickly. A few games are bad but RoI isn't that terrible I played the game with someone last night and get the acheivement. We went on a 2v3 after the first guy dropped out and that match lasted about 2 hours before we finally won it. 2v3 on PVP btw.

Yeah, I'm thinking I might not smelt any more coal unless I have some left at the end.

 

I'm not saving them for entry into the contest because the odds of winning are astronomical. I'd rather be guaranteed to get something out of them.

One of today's achievements is just to trade. Anybody want to trade a coal for a coal? Or a -25% valve for a -25% valve? I mean, obviously if there's a real trade you want to do that would be cool too. :D

 

Inventory doesn't appear to be working atm though.

I'll do it Ethan, but I'm about to go to bed... so be back in 9 hours or so.

 

Also, I have Tropico 4 available for trade if anyone wants it. Steam awarded it to me literally the day after I purchased a copy. It's a really, really fun game (for some reason, I have an obsession with Tropico, so ymmv) with an amusing sense of humor. I'm particularly interested in FEAR (with its two expansions), Serious Sam: BFE, and/or Saint's Row 2/The Third's DLC season pass.

lol, I would have been all over that shit if I hadn't just bought it (probably in the same daily deal you did).

 

Too bad you can't just straight-up sell your inventory items (within the client I mean, I know you could gift+paypal).

 

*Edit* - Managed to get into my inventory just long enough to see that now I have -50% on Chantelise: Tale of Two Sisters. It's already -50% in the sale.

I could trade with you Ethan. I've already got the acheivement but I could still do it no probs :).

And Doc Seuss, I was just delaying buying Tropico 4 but if there's something you'd like in exchange for it I wouldn't mind it. I can't see what my last 3 tickets were as yet since there's some error on my inventory.

Yeah I got the EYE achievement. It's a bit crazy but here's the best way to go about it. Just play the game regularly. After the intro area you'll hit a smallish hub. Every triangle marked guy is a quest giver, speak to them and you'll head out to the next area. The area after that will have a bunch of things to do, if you shoot the people in that level the gift will drop. I had a few drop in that level. It's the second area that you enter after you enter the hub world.

Play in single player on the solo campaign. The game has no save as far as I can tell. I believe it syncs with the server once you've completed an area (you'll know this because at the end it gives a report on what you did)
