Okay, I'm starting to get convinced/worried that for any game where there are at least a handful more of people who want it than there are items remaining, they're going to just keep sniping and counter-sniping each other at the end of each auction period, making the gem price stay static from where it is now all the way to the final hours. Meaning if you're far enough below that number right now, you're SOL with no chance it'll ever dip into your range.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?

Wait, you also get XP for turning items into gems?

You get a badge for doing anything gem or auction related. It's 100XP, same as others.

lvl 1: Turn item into gems
lvl 2: Bid on an auction
lvl 3: Win an auction

Same badge, same XP for any of those.

Just the first time. Gem Maker -> Auction Participant -> Auction Winner. The badge doesn't level up in the traditional sense, though, so you don't actually earn more XP by participating in/winning an auction -- it's worth a flat 100.

Edit: Kindasorta beaten.

Why do some games come up as $0.00 for it's historical low with ES? Type:Rider says it's $0 right now over at gamesrepublic but it's full price if you check.

I'm sad DmC (and 4) special editions are apparently not coming to PC.
Click to expand...

first, was this specifically said. and most importantly, second, at least in DmC's case, we already have a 1080p 60fps version

DMC4 sounds like it has added stuff with vergil tho, so that one is a shame. But im sure it will come

I didn't really want to bother with the gems all that much, so I got something for a single sack that hopefully someone enjoys.

Does Dark Souls key I get when right clicking its library entry work for giving away or do I have to launch it with GFWL to get working key? I gave the key I got from Steam interface to friend but he says it's duplicate.

Clover may have her own skill tree/perk deck, I have not checked, but it would make sense. That's $5

The hosting and guns or whatever would be tied to the actual heist DLC. That's $7.

I'm an "enthusiast" and I'm not inclined to drop $12 on the both of them combined. I'll just keep working on my backlog for now.

7$ for the heist and 5$ for the character/weapons/skilltree.

There were a couple of changes that would be great in an official release, but I suppose we do have mods to fill it in.

I don't think PC was excluded or included in the announcement. Just seems odd that they'd not announce it at the same time.

if only russian prices also lowered because they too get the same discounts. that would be cool... sure would. I understand tho sayayaya, the 18th is afterall, 2 days away. 2 whole days o_O I mean, thats 48 hours! Or 2880 minutes! thats more than 2 thousand! nobody can reasonably wait 2 thousand of anything.

Craft the shield from Sif's soul, shoot the dragons tail till you get the Drake Sword from it, and beat up Dark Wraiths until they drop a Dark Hand?

If you haven't killed the Drake yet, can't you just go and snipe its tail for the Drake sword?

Also finally won an auction. Now I can sit back and either A.) see if any other games I want dip lower or B.) sell all of my gems when the price peaks.

Just too tired to do monotonous work right now!

These weapons aren't terribly difficult to get, I'm just being lazy.
