I checked Steam today and randomly had some items in my inventory, and it turns out my purchase was retroactively made eligible for Trading Cards (also confirmed on the badge progress screen). I do have an update, though, and a possible suggestion for those that have been affected by this. I haven't bought CC that way though, so I didn't know for sure it would grant the cards, that was just the only thing I could think of after Steam Support told me that the purchase I made (which was through the store directly outside of the game) didn't count for Trading Cards period. It opens the same interface that you'd use when buying from outside the game, so I thought that would be a silly distinction to make. I don't really care who it is, Valve, EA, BioWare, somewhere someone is dropping the ball because of all my years being on Steam, i've never had issues with Card drops in both Free-to-play (currency drops) and paid games until this game.
I'm curious if folk are getting cards via the Steam DLC bundles, and thats why there are even SWTOR Steam cards on the market circulating to begin with that or from creating their own card packs. are the card drops for the CC purchases just broken right now? Using the in-game Add Coins button sends the user to the exact same place to buy coins if one were to do it while not in-game, so if there's supposed to be a different Cartel coins interface, i haven't run into that yet myself.Īlso the Cartel Coins Ledger seems to be broken as well, the popup screen says a window will redirect to the SWTOR website, and nothing happens.Įither way, I've spent close to $300 on Cartel coins via the only way to purchase them in-game, and I'm kinda sitting here wondering to myself.
I don't think subscriptions can be purchased while "in-game" like that, so they probably don't qualify at all. It opens up the Steam store page so it seems silly to make that kind of distinction, but they apparently do. My guess is that means the only qualifying purchase would be to use the "Add Coins" button on the Cartel Market screen and purchase coins there, but I haven't tested this so I can't guarantee it works. The purchase wasn't made in-game, so it doesn't count. What that means is that if you go to the SWTOR store page on Steam and buy Cartel Coins or a Subscription there, it doesn't count towards trading cards. You have to make the purchase in-game for cards to drop. There's a caveat to this that I spoke with Steam support about, which Steam doesn't make clear unless you dive into the FAQs/rules for trading cards: Trading Cards, along with emoticons and backgrounds, can also be bought and sold on the Steam Marketplace. Star Wars: The Old Republic has a total of eight Trading Cards featuring notable characters like Darth Malgus, Satele Shan, HK-55, and others! Collect a set of cards to earn items (like emoticons and backgrounds) you can use to customize your Steam profile and account. There are enough people talking about this in various places that it would be nice to see an official response to this issue.Ī majority of games on Steam come with cool and unique Trading Cards! These virtual cards, earned by buying and playing games on Steam, can be crafted into badges that grant Steam-related rewards.
I was considering moving my sub to Steam but won't until I know for sure whether I'll get drops for it. I bought some cc recently through steam and also have 'no card drops remaining' showing. It would be really nice to get an answer regarding this so that we know whether buying cc or sub from steam will count toward card drops or not.
