Okay, so i got a Half Life 2 booster today, i downloaded Half-Life 2 again (right now im on linux because my ssd crashed a few days ago).

While beeing curious whether i get good or not so good cards i started to talk with some people and ask them whether they would sell or use it, i wanted to use it anyway but i just wanted to check what other people do.

I thought the Booster gives me more Card Drops, so once Half Life 2 was ready to go i used the Booster and noticed it just gives me instantly 3 random cards. But i think i didnt had the best luck today :) screenshot

how about you ? is it worth it unboxing them ? How many you need to get a foil card ;) someone already got one out of a booster?

i think after i know how this works its time for a huge unboxing video lol

Clearly your problem is that you were talking to SleepyCat. As much as I love having him as a friend I know better than to talk to him while unpacking things.

As for your questions, I have only got one booster so far (They Bleed Pixels) and unpacked it. I did not get a foil, but I was happy to have three more cards to help me towards leveling that badge up another level.

I got one from Left 4 Dead 2 - 2x Tank and 1x Hunter, no foil cards... and just after that my friend got FOIL Smoker as the last card of normal drop ;p

I'm eligible for Boosters for 16 different games. I have yet to receive one. SIGH.

That's what I was wondering about - does the number of games you are eligible to get booster for impact your chances of getting a booster? Or does everyone have the same chances to get a booster and then when system decides you got one it chooses one of your booster-eligible games at random?

As I understand the system when someone crafts a badge a new booster pack (for the game of the badge) is distributed between all the eligible steam users. So the answer to the question if it is better to have more games with trading cards is yes.

Some sources told me the % of getting booster packs and foils increases according to your profile level, might just be a theory.

1 decade ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

The % of getting booster packs is a fact, it's right in the trading cards FAQ as for foils increasing with level, that I'm not sure of. I know it used to be that you had to be at least level 10 to even get a foil drop from a game but that was changed a while ago.

If you get a booster, and you unpack it, but you don't craft a badge. Can you get booster again for that same game?

Or is it one booster per level?

I'm not sure if it has anything to do with it but Don't Starve is by far my most played game on Steam. (By over 40 hours)

I had the same thing happen with my ARES booster. Three of the same card. Would have made more just selling the pack, which I intend to do if I ever get another one.

Well, I think it's better to unbox them. You get a chance for foil cards and it has same value like 3 cards you get at least for some games. And you get a good chance to make a set.

wrong! you are getting much more by selling a booster than by selling 3 cards seperately. and the chances for foil are utterly low.
