WTF Happened to Corgi?

[Technal]

Okay, so I get it; Corgi was in an immense lead at the beginning of this sale. And it was unfair to the other racers. But now, because I chose Corgi, I'm being punished by having the team completely LOSE with no chance of survival or chance to swap teams? Is this what it's going to be like for the rest of the sale? Just Corgi getting ♥♥♥♥♥♥ over because Corgi was in the lead for two days? Cool.

It's kind of funny, I got a great sense of relief as I emptied my cart. Just saved myself quite a bit of cash. I was getting suckered in to buying several items from my wishlist that I could take or leave, but now I have no problem leaving them. It's pointless trying to add points to a rigged game.

That's pretty much the point of this whole event: to sucker people in to spending money to try and help their team win. Pretty sad how so many people bought into it though, at least some people are wising up to it.

As confirmed by valves latest news update, they put no hand in slowing down any racers. If anything it's everyone else from other teams slowing us down.

As quoted by them "We want to assure you that we are not manually intervening in the outcome of a given day's race. Each team's progress is fueled by its active number of players and the points and boosts they contribute."

So the team with more members than all the others combined comes in dead last, after an earlier announcement about tweaking the event?

valve is totally not full of BS.

Niiiiceeee keep up the good work Valve !
There is no way in hell that Corgi is supposed to be in last place, Pig Team is in first right now and in the previous 3 races no one even knows there was a Pig Team.... This sh1t is rigged man f* this

Remember when valve knew how to make games? Haha, those days are long since gone.

Valve made games?!

Yep, they're definitely not lying through their teeth. Why would you ever think otherwise?

The only good thing is that you spend some money and with the points + boosts that you gained you can level up your Steam account, mine was at level 21 before the event and in 3 days i'm at 64.

[Oleg]

You can get extra max points by completing tasks. Anyway it might have been that team corgi had spent all of their max points the first days and now people would need to buy new stuff but seing that we aren t winning they wont...

[Shade]

They more or less tweaked it so our money is going towards other teams. Buy games to get more capacity to boost your team. Then the added the ability to steal boosts. So no ♥♥♥♥ the other teams would fixate on corgi. Unless they properly fix the event I'm done with it. There is no point to care about the event when your team has the most contributions, most distance yet its dead last.

Yes the first two days were extreme but its a no brainer that corgi would be the most popular. Ein! but whatever they did went overboard and added a second ability to target teams. Of course it'd be abused.

[Galatoth]

I think there is an abuse in the system, it is not possible that for 3 days the corgi group goes to the head and out of nowhere it is not only behind but the 3 teams that did not show advance before are face to face fighting for whoever arrives to the final goal, here is an exploitation of some bug ... it's just my opinion. Something does not fit here ...

[PyroPacific]

We went from corgi winning all the way to corgi being gangbanged by all the other teams, really makes you think...

Yep, this is how valve operates. People plan and cooperate to get a blow-out victory? Grats, you will be handicapped to ensure that all of the wins will be fair and balanced(tm) regardless of effort. I'm almost wondering if all those attacks on team Corgi are actually from people and not valve just administratively dumping several thousand attacks on them as it seems to jump by several thousands. In addition, Corgi boosts seem to do almost nothing, and they can't get any attacks anymore. This is perfectly fair and totally rewards participation!

Sounds like Communism. Basically TAKING from the hard workers who are actually contributing more money and then redistributing it to the masses.
