Steam Grand Prix Summer Sale 2019 - June 25th to July 9th | I live my life one sale at a time.
- Thread starter Uzzy
- Start date
Something is really off. I'm still at 0/0, and my good ol' corgies are right back to 4000x nitro as fast as they were yesterday...if not faster. Going by the Steam Forums, most people are the same with zero point capacity.
I have no idea how team Yellow is back up there unless someone found a way around it in the script (like the negative token exploit).

Since you have all boosted yesterday, I can purchase a game and boost today, and be the only candidate for a free game.
All according to plan.
People purchasing a game per day to be able to enter for the daily lottery?

You can only spend them if your boost capacity allows it though.
Even dead games. I loaded up Marvel Heroes Online, idled it at the log in screen for 30 minutes and got a ton of points.
Here is what i am doing
1- find a game that i got a lot of achievements in
2- run the game if it is installed and let the game run for 30 mins or so
3- after 30 mins, i ezit the game, check the grand prix page and i should find a banner to get feul dor my team
4- i uae up the fuel ao my team advances and i get coins
5- i go to pit stop to redeem the coins for what i want
The $5 coupon doesnt need to be redeemed as steam will automatically ask u if u want to redeem coins for it when u buy something.
Yeah, it's supposed to refresh every day, but I am still waiting.
Corgi looks to have a huge lead in terms of users under the banner. which means they are easier to have a lead. If anything at least second and third place are able to get things as well.
I get that but I think everyone missed the point; Corgi got to 4000x boost faster than yesterday with the event bugged out today....the rest of the teams are actually lower than yesterday around 2 PM EST.
Capacity doesn't reset. Not gonna participate for a 1 in a million chance of getting a wishlisted game. This event sucks. I'm out.
So if I go to pit stop it says "competein the races to unlock 15148 more", so it looks like were supposed to get all the capacity back...its just screwwed up
Shit, they could at least make capacity gained from buying things in the sale refresh, nevermind the bonus from lunar sale and previous purchases.
No going to happen. They would lose so much money with that method.
Capacity doesn't reset. Which just makes it bugging out on the first day and not giving me the 4000 bonus capacity from past purchases even worse.
Every time my friends complain about how the pure card-based events of Steam sales aren't fun, I'm just going to say "Grand Prix 2019."
they couldve limited redemptions then. this will only make people angry and stop doing anything after today.
Wooo, got my 100 points. Doing the math, I'll need to spend $55 plus idle-boost for 13 days at 30 minutes per day (to get 1300 more points), just to get $5. Factor in the underwhelming sale prices and this is woeful. It's needlessly confusing and not even worth participating in. Oh, there's also a 1 in nearly 1M chance of getting a wishlist game granted if I keep hoop-jumping daily. What a terrible event.
They're idolizing Monsters and Saliens and Potato Sack, as they should.
The card games may be better than this but they're a far cry from Valve's best.
3% cash back on purchases in increments of $150 only, but also you have to do some stupid shit to get your coupon
I mean... this being shit doesn't make the other not shit.
No. You can just wait til the last day of the sale. It'll all be spendable then.
Also, worth noting that if they keep the same format next sale, you will likely keep your tokens.
I actually tend to dislike things like Saliens, the minigame was fun for like day one though.
At the very least it's not a 4 tiered system to turn points into usable tokens, where no one understands the rules because they're both poorly written and omit information. Simple shit trumps complex in these cases.
Then I'd have 1200 points less. It says you need to participate daily to get the 100 points added. Which would mean an additional $12 would need to be spent to get that $5 coupon.
Yeah maybe. I have no idea at this point what their definition of the word participate is. I'm just gonna do nothing today and I'll let you know tomorrow whether or not I get another 100 points. Cuz 100 points or no 100 points, this shit is going nowhere. I'm not paying $100 for a $5 coupon lol.
My capacity greatly reduced today and I got 0 new boosts. What a fantastic experience. I even bought a game yesterday, but can't do crap today.... I also had no idea what I was doing at first with the confusing sale so I probably wasted a number of boots, could have potentially had two $5 off coupons instead of just 1, sigh.
that would have been far too sensible for valve to come up with. You're missing all the needlessly complicated bullshit, and misleading your customers.
Fun idea for ya'll.
Let's create an event where the first day we give everybody a ton of free points and stuff to do
then every day after that make them pay up to try and participate again.
