[Aro]

If you're on steam looking at the summer camp site you can click a link to visit the group page then join from there.

Today's unlocks are out. 1 from TF2 which is now free and another for linking your facebook account to steam, so there's 3 tickets.

Just remember to remove yourself from the summer camp and unlink your account after the event...

Who plays TF2 ?We need to cheat those achievments

[dalin80]

Seems a bit of a faff around for one sector with only a few roids', il pass.

[JAFA_NZ]

"Cheat the achievements"?

You mean like create a facebook account just long enough to get the ticket?

[amtct]

That and for TF2 .You can cheat them in multiplayer games.

[Gold Dragon]

Meh. Not enough to worry about. I'll pass.


To those as like it: Enjoy!

Well got it, not listed in dlc though.

Perhaps it's not active.

Downloading the game again. To get this it was easy, had to get 3 tickets, mine were using the f2p game TF2 (im a paid user of over one year) lighting myself on fire and dowsing myself off by jumping in water. that was hard because I had to get on fire without dying before i jump. Then liking steam on my facebook, and the last was using shogun 2 and using my clan leader armies to defeat other armies 3 times in one turn. easily done. So now I am coming back ot play this game because I am interested in whats actually in that sector. It's listed in my dlc.

I saw that Universe Sandbox updated last night; it now has a likely-seeming new achievement for another day.

Hard to see, I need a new keyboard so I don't have anything to be able to do a single monitor shot at a very high resolution. But what is there is the steam interface, and I have x3 dlc open with a x3 dlc showing.

I think that as I said before, while we already unlocked the sector, it might not have been implemented yet. To "prove" this fact, it seems Portal 2 has just been updated with its new item from the prize booth.

So we're just going to have to wait I suppose.


For all those who aren't bothering, it's really easy to get the 3 free tickets so far.

Actually it is not that easy. For us in the US, there was no X3TC achievement to do on Jun 30th, and TF2 took 8 hours to download!!!
Now I need a friend to post comment to to get #3.

Just spam my account .

Also if you want that TF2 achievment my pyro can help you

[cobra mk2]

I've just collected my 3 tickets and redeemed them for the X3 dlc as well.

I got a lot easier and quicker than expected.

If anyone thinks they wont be able to get it, don't give up!!! it's a lot easier than you think.

Ticket 1: on day 1 (yesterday) i joined the summer group on steam.
Ticket 2: on day 2 (today) i got an achievment on TF2 by being set on fire and then jumping into the water to put out the flames. I done this by setting up a LAN match and getting my son to do the dirty work.
Ticket 3: on day 2 i linked my steam account with my facebook account (this is done by going to your steam profile page) which is the first good thing i've used it for.

I think TF2 is now free to download and play so it's no excuse if you don't already have it.

I dont know when i will see the dlc in-game but i'm just happy i've got it.

I know some of you were saying that this was a bad idea and you wouldn't be going for it, well i wanted this as soon as i seen it advertised and i was quite happy that i wouldn't need to pay for it. I'm still trying to get all my achievments so my game is unmodified and so i'm quite chuffed to be getting more content for my beloved game (without modding it) before X-R comes out.

I actually quite like steam and i've luckily never had any problems with it. I like the fact that once you pay for a game It can install it onto any computer with a Internet Connection for you as many times as you want and some of their games sell at rediculously cheap prices sometimes.

*grin* No friends on Steam, so can't go for that ticket. Never used it as a social medium, but more as a Gamedistribution Platform. Only groups I ever joined were the X3TC one (wich has been silent for quite a time now) and the Minecraft one.

[dragonemp]

today it has another F2P game Spiral Knights, so there's really no reason you can't get 3 tickets, you don't need pay anything, i haven't payed, and i'm on my way to get 2nd prize now....

[Vaga]

I made my steam profile public to comment so yall can leave a comment and get the DLC if you want. Just look for vaga1.

That's because ther is no (or at least not yet) achievement in TC for the Summer camp.
Also we will most likely get a non game related ticket winner each day so that would make 3 prizes without playing a single game.

Spiral Knights has been removed from the list for now but will most likely be back latter. Many speculate that it was supposed to be up on the 4th due to its content.
