So to raise my cap beyond 15K (its 14,662) I have to buy games right? It says 75$ NTD gives me like 66 points. Yet I want to wait for the monthly to drop, but I can't get the discount thingy...

Yeah, the Token stuff is great if either you already had a ton of games, or if you will spend a ton of money on this sale (and have a ton of time to play those games in order to get the achievements lol).

I have 20k tokens now and there's still 22k to unlock by racing. That means I can only get 2 discount vouchers at most, right?

I wonder how much more should I spend so I can get an additional 3k tokens so I can get 3 vouchers with 45k tokens in total. I believe there's a math for that?

On my local currency I would have to spend the equivalent of 250 USD in order to have 5 vouchers total (25 USD). No thanks.

You can't have more white points than red because they're useless by itself.
Nah.


I have no idea what the hell is going on with this "game".
I spent my 2 beginning boosts, got some tokens, bought the badge and now have ~1k remaining. It tells me I can earn the same amount by doing quests, but my capacity is 0, so surely not? I tried doing some of the Stardew Valley quests yesterday, but none unlocked.
All I want is one of those 5€ coupons Valve.

You depleted your max capacity. You would have to spend 230 bucks in order to use those points.

Yeah, looks like designer tried to misdirect with indirect elements, but in the end the event seems to boil solely down to boost meter capacity (which you can only choose to be competitive through actual purchases).

If I don't boost anything more today, I won't see my red points down to 0 tonight, right? I'm a bit confused about the entire thing, but the "reset" part worries me.

Should I use the achievements from one of my available games today? :thinking-face:

Well, that sale game is... certainly something. But after idling some games with achievements, and taking advantage of the decent regional pricing in Malaysia, I paid about the equivalent of £10 for Slay the Spire, Pathfinder: Kingmaker, Chrono Trigger and Masquerada: Songs and Shadows. If the boost meter thingy does refill every day, my haul might be pretty impressive, but I’m not sure if it does? It seems unlikely that it refills fully, anyways.

Ok I give up trying to understand how this works. I'll idle a few games during the day just to make sure and wait for 10 PST to see what the hell happens.

I just don't understand how to get more points work.

To get more points I have to play games where I have many achievements unlocked?
Yes, leave it open for 30 minutes. Any game with achievements will do, but if you have many unlocked achievements you get more points.

I dont see the AC/DC table as part of this pack
It was part of this pack. :unsure:

Either it's already gone, or they already removed the description, to reflect their situation in a few days (well, checking Steam DB I see they did update the description).
Considering the price is still the sale price (although not displayed, they made this pack 50% off for the full month, so that people would get one last chance to get it), I would say the pack still probably includes the table, but there's always a chance it doesn't.

Is it limited to three games only?
No, I have 5 or 6.

So Grim Dawn can potentially give me 81.000+ points, but I have only 8.700 capacity :thinking-face:

I could buy another game on sale and try to use the points from A Plague Tale for now, boost everything and then see what the hell happens this evening after reset.

So if I cash in some part of a game point pool, do I waste the remaining points I can earn on it or can I come back to it when I have more red ?

Why do some people have 50k+ red points while I started with less than 2k? What defines the initial baseline of this thing?

I believe it's based on the purchases made since the Chinese New Years sale.

... Or something. Is there even a Meta in DU yet? That's one thing that puts me off is the shifting sands of the metagame in online competitive stuff. That, ... and i'm too slow to me any good at reflex or micro'ing.

I'm suddenly super bad at Underlords, finish like last or something constantly.T_T
I made a resolution to not play before the next patch, that they promised will nerf mages and buff dragons and knights. It's not fun to face the same lineups in almost every game (and in >90% of the cases lose to a kotl blast).

So step 1 is to buy stuff to expand my capacity.
I can pick a couple cheap $1 games and such ti expand using them.
Step 2 is to start games with lots of cheevos in them to earn points.

I'm really not sure what to do with this sale game. I have enough points for a voucher... I guess I should just buy one of the games I want so that I get more points to use so I can get another voucher to use on another game later? Ugh.

Aren't the points added automatically to the capacity tank value? I didn't claim anything last night after my purchase, but Steam added the points in the capacity red value

I'm getting the hang of the metagame now ( I think). Just don't ask me any questions, my flimsy understanding (or lack thereof) will fall apart upon any sorts of inspections, lol.

I'll definitely leave a game idle every night. Tokens will keep until the end of the sale, right?

VR devs who are not participating in the sale are missing out. With the influx of Rift S and Index adopters, people will be flocking to buy VR games on sale.

So far I only got Cyberpunk and Wolfenstein as pre-orders using the extra discount and Groove Coaster, Rez Infinite and -KLAUS- from the Seal.

I have a bunch of other stuff on my radar though (some shmup games, a genre I never knew I liked until I purchased my first arcade stick a few months ago and Doom pre-order as well) once I figure out how tokens work.

Turns out I'm far worse at Bit.Trip Beat than I was. Died in the final level, long before the boss. I used to be able to finish it in a single sitting without game overs, so this is disappointing. At least I got several points from my old achievements, including 4 that were obtained by less than 3% of the players.

It plays well using gyro on the Steam Controller. And after enabling vibration, it kinda reminds me of the Wii version on a Wiimote, which is still my favorite way to play this.

Let's hope I do better in Flux, but given my current lack of skills, I wouldn't bet on it.
