ONE of the ways to know about it didn't work for some people. Allegedly.
You opt out of notifications - you are at fault.
You opt to not scroll through them if there are multiple - you are at fault.
You opt to hibernate your PC and thus not trigger the notifications - you are at fault.
Unless you can prove that it is indeed caused by a technical problem caused by Valve - yeah, not a technical issue.
Definitely. I had the Steam News popup on Thursday evening and it wasn't there. I finished work 2 hours after the day changed (and I imagine that's when the event started - unless it started a few hours late in which case we didn't have the full 24 hours on the first day which would be a separate issue).
In other words that "alleged" technical issue is single-handedly the reason why I missed out and just like the off-the-page banner (perhaps more so), that's a justifiable grievance. We've seen Steam lowered the requirement for people with other technical grievances, and as a reminder every other Steam event in the last five years has not required perfect attendance every single day, so this event is both a technical failure and overly strict in the ways that Steam had rightly moved away from for years.
But I'd say Gaijin is the worst offender when it comes to things like War Thunder events in the past where it did take at least a day or so for an English translated announcement to appear. I'm sure I didn't exactly object then, but it was clearly irksome for most people as it naturally should.
But Valve is much different here. It's not that people who don't subscribe have the issue (in their own right, yes, they shouldn't complain), but those who actually do subscribe and check off whatever may be available to check off. Nothing about this was even hinted even in emails (at least in the subject headline), despite being subscribed to such mailing lists. Maybe it's to do with what you specifically checked off, and they don't have a check box for events specifically for this.
On the other hand, I do know I was on the store page about 2 days before and there was nothing about this at all. It's not hard for me to say and admit they're the ones dropping the ball, and we're trying to point that out. Past events have been more forgiving in allowing you to catch up. This one in particular isn't, and we can dee the difference.
It's not particulary about catching up but how stupid the tiers are ranked. Anyone can easily get a Lv 2 badge from just a single day of tasks while a Lv 3 one requires partciaption from ALL days including at least 1 of the daily tasks from the first day.
Making 66.6% of the tasks time based was stupid while the remaining 33.3% can be done anytime within 4 days.
If something this nothing is how you measure your accomplishments in life, you might want to check yourself and your life choices.
I'm not sure why anyone would think there isn't concern about downloading games at this point. I'm sure there are some games you don't have, but need, to achieve some of the qualifying games. Especially those you don't already own. If it's not installed, you do need to download it, and time is against you at this point especially without the benefit of knowing about the event a priori. Achieving these things are very simple, that you're only required to run the games at a minimum, without actually playing it.
If it's even remotely possible, if one could reach the scale by actually playing the games and making cheevos and such points, then maybe you could catch up despite missing a couple days. Then again, I don't know the actual rules beyond knowing that all you need to do is run the game to get the trophies.
That's actually what irks me the most.
NO. There was and still is plenty of stuff worse than this.
Sale events
The team event - winning team got a +50 XP badge.
Auction - you actually needed to win an auction. Which meant spending more than the game's value worth in gems. Plus the 5000 XP badge for thousands of dollars worth of gems for the profile decoration.
The ARG (Red Herring badge) - not announced at all and impossible for most people without social media/forums. If you didn't follow it, you'd never knew about it.
Monster game - entirely depending on you being in one of the few lucky rooms for the highest level.
Non-sale badges
Steam Trading card beta - you needed to get an invite
Steam Hardware Beta - you needed to be a resident in the US (maybe even citizien, don't quite remember) for the level 3 badge
Steam Community badge - level 3 is impossible without using a mobile
Steam Translator - only if you speak one of the few languages and are lucky enough to get your submissions accpeted. Pretty much impossbile to get currently for most people.
And before badges:
The achievement hunt events - you actually needed to own the games. And play them to the point where the achievement unlocked. For the coal event even all of them. Within the event. Sorry Grandma, no visit this year. I need to play X3.
Yeah I know its not that big of a deal, but considering that I did it fast enough for the task to be completed it was dissapointing to see it being left out. Anyway I got the answer to my question - It is a bug! Thanks guys/gals!
A reminder to all, the Spring Cleaning level 3 badge is +500 XP, while the level 2 badge is only +200.
Apparently missing out on 50 is worse than missing out on 300 now.
Apparently a badge that was part of an event in progress and well-known for like 10 days (including at least one weekend) is worse than a badge that became impossible after 24 hours, before the weekend of a "weekend event" began.
There were more than a few, and successful rooms took place over a 3-day period. Apparently 3 days is worse than 1 day.
For some of these you have a point, though I thought the community badge only needed like 20 of the 25 tasks to be done before it considered it fully complete? That's how it worked for me. UNlike this event, there was lenience.
Randomly assigned teams unless you paid money for the change item.
I consider random chance worse than "I missed it".
You complained about not having been informed about the event. The only way you could have known about this badge was by randomly stumble upon information from users. It doesn't matter how long it was available if you didn't know about it.
No, there were only a few. And you got randomly assigned to them. Even if you were part of the boosting groups you were at the mercy of RNGesus to get into the lucky rooms that didn't have enough trolls in it to ♥♥♥♥ it up.
Or do you think I chose to stop at 97.5/100 million?
In short:
Yes, I consider not having much or no influence at all way worse than "I missed it".
Pro tip: never get into achievement hunting. You will cry your eyes out with unobtainable achievements. For example this year was the first time for over five years that L4D2 was on a free weekend making it possible once more to get the Good Guy Nick achievement, which was deemed unobtainable until now. And will be again tomorrow for a long time again.
Why do people whine over a Steam badge anyway? What do you do when your cafeteria is all out of steaks because you were too late? Complain to the manager because you didn't get to read the menu in time?
Badges give you emoticons, some inventory items like extra discounts, backgrounds, and extra XP to your profile. Some of those attain monetary value. Free money.
We're not all like this guy, but I imagine lots of money have been thrown around to craft over 3k badges in his gaming career.
EDIT: About 3 years ago, he had a collection worth over $26k according to some reddit post about him. Let that sink in.
