Oh, wow, this game sure is a laggy mess. I hope it gets better over the course of the sale. I like idle games! I'm definitely in on a team effort, if/when the game starts working properly.

[Tellemurius]

So are there any bay12 teams on this promotional game thing dealio? I see a few people on my list started a game, and I'd rather join a group from here than random pugs on the interweb at large.

I'd love to join a bay12 effort.

DFC has a small group going right now

I can't even get it to list which of my friends are playing. When the game loads, *sometimes* it actually loads all the way and functions for about 3 seconds before freezing. I guess I'll have to just come back to it once the servers have started to recover from the start of the sale...

You know, you would think that they would know that the servers are going to take a hit on the first couple of days, and, I don't know, prepare for it somehow? Is that crazy?

[Persus13]

I got into the game fine although it was really laggy. And a little later I wasn't sure if my hits were actually doing anything so I left.

[Sappho]

Grr.... Nope, I can't even get into the game at all. Just constantly refreshing the page. Now and then it'll load up completely and run for a few seconds, then it just freezes or boots me out. I can't join anyone else's game, it's not loading any of my stats, just, nothing. I don't know if it's because I'm too far from the servers or what, but I give up for tonight. So frustrating! I really wanna play!!!

Is Enchanced Steam still the go-to addon for adding price history while viewing the store page in Firefox, or has it been surpassed by another addon?

Presently while viewing products, it reports "error loading enhanced steam data" but I'm not 100% sure if there is a conflict with another addon, full-out broken, or if it is just overworked because of the sale (especially if it is relying on, for example, steamdb).

[Aklyon]

Isthereanydeal is working alright atm, though it is not an addon.

[Niveras]

Mainly I was looking for an easy way to find out the lowest price on my wishlist games without having to cross reference or copy app codes, which is what a plugin/addon and the steam web store would allow. (steamdb can highlight titles if you steam-login with a public profile but this still requires you browse the list for the game.)

[WealthyRadish]

Searching for a game on steamdb isn't too bad, assuming your wishlist isn't massive.

If anyone is looking for an easier way to browse through what's on sale in general, I'd recommend using steamdb.info and sorting the "summer sale" list by user rating. Normally I don't put much stock in ratings like that, but with about 5000 games on sale right now (with the vast majority being utter garbage shoveled in through greenlight) it helps quite a bit to see the well rated ones first.

So, as far as I can tell (since steam is lagging so hard I cannot even see anything), they decided that an in-browser game on steam during a steam summer sale was a good idea and would not nuke their servers?

Maybe they actually had enough servers for the sale this time and then had this idea.

Been faffing about on the Steam game thingy for awhile now due to hell of it. Stuck on the LVL 10 boss level right now cause everything seems like it respawns unless you kill everything at once (sans the boss, he ded. so ded).

Basically, seems like you need/(is useful to have) a moderate amount of cooperation without any actual way to communicate in game.

Wonder if any meta groups forming...

LoS and pootrak both have pretty active games atm.

[Ultimuh]

So I bought The Bureau: XCOM Declassified, because of the sale.
I know it's not anything like XCOM, but I figured that the current price could be worth a few hours of entertainment.

Hmm... does it wipe your upgrades if you switch games?
