Steam Grand Prix 2019 Badge

[Hu Tao]

I spent the tokens I received on levelling this badge, but I ended up with a very high level badge and a ton of XP from it. Is this intended or is this a bug? If it is a bug and it is fixed will I lose the XP and the levels I got from it?

We will have to wait and see if it's intentional or not.

How did you receive tokens?

[Dan brDorman]

Same thing Happened, Redeemed it until level 40 and I got like 4k xp which is a ton compared to crafting badges.

[True Survivor]

Same thing, insane XP boost.

I am unsure, I went to check out the Pit Stop and noticed I had a bunch of tokens, so I redeemed them on the badge.

52,100 XP
Thank you, Gabe! All Hail Gabe!

I did them same and got 82,600 XP. But it won't let me use any more boosts, anybody know how to get access to use more?

i think tokens are correlated to the pts and boosts you use

i didn't do anything but i have like 80k pts from several games (though my max is 1000 thanks gaben).

it also said you get boosts from past events and sales (including the lunar sale) so maybe that affects it too idk.

Pit Stop said I'd earned 2,000 tokens from past purchases, but my token total was zero. I haven't "spent" anything, and now I'm not even on a team and can't join one.

You think after all these years Steam would have learned by now that they need more server resources if they don't want the entire system to crash and burn on the first day of special events.

you need to wait to the next day or upgrade your max point holder

[Makaveli]

can someone tell me how much xp every level of this badge gives?

[Jian Hou Zi]

It looks like 100 points per level, but supposedly Valve is going to do some recalculation because of people like my friend who got 45,000 XP from it, which leveled up his profile from something like 1 to 90 in one day.

If I had money I would have bought more games lol. I got from 22 to almost 60.

They changed their mind and not gonna do that.

All players will begin with at least 100 max points, and for each day that you participate, your maximum will increase by 100 points.

Can somebody clarify what constitutes "participation"? In my experience, none of these count since my maximum today is only 100:

• Claiming points earned via in-game achievements.
  
• Completing in-game quests, e.g. "Win a TF2 Casual match."
  
• Boosting my team.
  
• Attacking another team.
  
• Spending $$$ in the Steam store. (I did get the expected cash-to-cap-increase numbers, but unexpectedly they only counted for one day.
  
• Completing qualifier tasks. (Unexpectedly, these also seem to be one-day-only increases.)
  
• Redeeming tokens at the Pit Stop.

Apparently I'm doing something wrong and am still a non-participant.
