Hello,

I open this post to :

  • Know if there are a way of search in the giveways filtering by contributor level.

  • If not, ask SteamGifts if it's possible. Implementing this option in the search engine.

What's your opinion ? Any relevant comments will be welcome :)

thats like the 10th millionth time when someone suggest that lately i think .

It would be nice future i guess , but why does it matter ?
Just enter for stuff that you actually want to play (wishlist) ... dont just hoard games .

^^^ This.

Does it matter which contributor level is set by the giveaway if it's a game you want to win?

um ... if the game is in your wishlist , you see all levels :|

Like , i dont wana be rude or anything but... every time i see someone making a topic like that im like .
Yeah , the higher the level , the chances to win are better ... for a game you wont play EVER ...
Instead of Hoarding games for the sake of getting them for free, why not enter for stuff you actually want ?

I won a 5$ game calld Shan-gui ... you know what ? i actually really wanted to play that game ... and i was really happy when i won it.
I spend like 40 hours on that game so far , over couple playtroughs ... and i enjoyed it ALOT .
The giveaway creator and i are now really good friends on steam and we play bunch of stuff together.
Thats the kind of stuff i want from giveaways , a stuff i want to play .

But for some reason most of people are just like , Uh free stuff , lets get as much as possible while it lasts ...
Im sorry , suspend me if you want , but Fuck those people :|

Yeah i also entered for a dozen of things i might not play ( dwarfs for example) but in that case , there was key for everyone ...

I don't know if what I said suggests that I enter every high level giveaway I can, because I don't.

Anyhow, yes, I didn't really think about the wishlist part. :P

So what if I find it much better to see the giveaways I have a good chance of winning, and then select the games I'm interested in and likely to play? For example, I could enter for a COD Modern Warfare public level 0 as I'm sure to play it but there's a very little chance I'm gonna win it.

Um , thats a good point i guess . Sort of .
However , i still think that having the Show wishlist stuff option is good enough of a solution .
If i spot something new i am interested in ... Add to wishlist , sync account .. and voila .
As for it Being public level 0 or private level 10 i dont really care bout the amount of entries , i just try my luck regardless .

Tho i never really had issue with the points , been hovering the 300 for last couple weeks since theres not really much giveaways for stuff i feel like playing .

Tho , if its not hard to implement such a future , i'm in for it , i just dont see it as necessary .

I've discovered many new games through giveaways, and added many to my wishlist that way, so the 'All' tab is pretty useful.
I do care for chances, since I don't want to use points and get my hopes up for a moot point, and yes, I am constantly low on points owing to forum giveaways and trains (at 1P now).
Just my views :P

Im just forcing myself to avoid that place as much as possible nowadays ...
Figured out its just a bad idea to try and talk with ppl in the forum ...

The trains are nice and stuff , but its mostly for games i dont really care bout ... so i dont bother with them anymore.
Just checking wishlist stuff lately.

Under most circumstances, you should have enough points. Here are some tips to spending them wisely.

  • Delayed giveaways can be entered after you have more points. Enter the expiring ones, first.
  • Some things can wait. Enter for the game you rarely see and wait on the game people are spamming by the hundreds.
  • Become a member of GoupBuys. Most giveaways are bundled's which can be bought for $0.33.
  • Don't be afraid to pull points out of giveaway expiring later in order to enter one expiring now.
  • Don't let greed control you. Enter for the games you really want and skip the "might be nice to have" stuff.

If you want a higher chance of winning, get into some private groups. Eighty-percent of my wins are from private groups and giveaways.

if you search for dead space2you will see them all, it will maybe take 1 page if you are lucky, then you can pick which one you want no?

it were nearly 3 pages in the beginning i think
and everytime something gets suggested ppl tell you that is working the way it is too
yes it does
but this is the suggestions section were ppl can sugest things to even make it work better and even more userfriendly

yeah, its a valid suggestion, Im just saying my opinion, I like the way there isnt so many parameters, you can type a word and find everything related to it.

Just saying, for me, in this case, less is better

It's not my script but it has this functionality.
