A monthly Bundle? What will you do?
I was just gonna say Paypal is now accepted but you are already on top of it :P
Comment has been collapsed.
If the guesses are right, I don't think I'll want a single game in the bundle, but I like to buy them then never open the email, so it could be perfect for that!
- It's also telling me I still have over 45 hours to buy, so for me, not the last day...

Got it for my birthday ... so I can't complain about it. I'll just have to wait and see ... I might even continue the subscription just for GA purposes.

hope they dont end up on the bundle list because i think i will be making a few giveaways :/

If the guesses are right, not even close the 95% rule.
Comment has been collapsed.
im afraid they will, since - well you subscribed to a bundle.
Comment has been collapsed.
There is a chance that they won't be on bundle list or atleast some of them. The reason I said that many games that are on bundle belong to tier 3 aren't on bundle list ( most of the time tier 3 is around $12-$15 prices range)
Comment has been collapsed.
Damn, looks like I own all of them.
Serves me right for subscribing.
It's like a groupees pre-order on steroids.

Thanks, I guess it must be the day I signed up for Steam all those years ago.

Okay well, happy cake day regardless! ;)

Except I said:

I signed up for Steam in 2008.

At least they are good quality games though, which is more than I can say for Groupees who puts out mostly shovelware these days.
edit: Happy Cake Day!

• 1 hot title - Less than one year old. - ???
• 1 highly-acclaimed title - Between one to two years old. > I would assume this is Saints Row IV, even though the game is a little bit over two years old, it doesn't fit in any of the other categories.
• 1-2 hit indie games.
- Probably one of the two is Besiege? I don't mind this.
- The other is most likely Legend of Grimrock 2. At least I knew this was coming when I signed up.
• 1-2 hidden gems from developers. - ???
So which category would Valkyria Chronicles fall under? I really hope it isn't the "hot" title. It may be less than a year old on Steam, but the game was released years ago on PS3 and I think it's kinda unfair to have it be considered "Less than one year old". Assuming Valkyria Chronicles is a "hidden gem", I wonder what the "hot" title will be.
Comment has been collapsed.
These are my guesses for which category each game falls into:
1 hot title - Less than one year old
- Crypt of the Necrodancer: Skeleton hint
(While it was in early access before 2015, it officially came out in April this year.)
1 highly-acclaimed title - Between one to two years old
- Saints Row IV: Fleur-de-lis hint
1-2 hit indie games
- Lethal League: Boom box hint
- Besiege: Catapult hint
1-2 hidden gems from developers
- Valkyria Chronicles: Windmills hint
- ???: Bombs + Arrows hint (Maybe Towerfall Ascension/Oceanhorn/LoZ-like game?)
1 Bonus Game
- Legend of Grimrock 2: Lantern hint
(I'm not sure if this hint is supposed to be Legend of Grimrock 2)
Comment has been collapsed.
Necrodancer's skeletons don't have swords, AFAIK. The hint looks more like Shovel Knight (to counterbalance all those shovelwares… badum tss)
Comment has been collapsed.
I had to look it up, and the pose & sword of the skeleton would fit shovel knight, but sadly their skeletons seem to have armour, which this one lacks.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's hard to conclude that from such a small and incomplete picture. How about this one though?
Comment has been collapsed.
The one in the picture lacks the fangs, and the blade looks very different.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, we can always hope. I haven't seen anything that is a perfect fit though. That's also assuming that the art is intended to be hyper accurate to the source material, which we can't conclude. I swear it seems familiar somehow though. I just can't place it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Besiege could be 1 hot title - Less than one year old too couldn't it?
Comment has been collapsed.
I cancelled my FFXIV subscription, going to put that money on the Humble Monthly Bundle. I'm sure this will be more fun than raiding 1 day a week in FFXIV.
Comment has been collapsed.
since you dont know what games are in how can you know if your computer can run them?That could be a problem.
Comment has been collapsed.
Agreed these could be an issue if "1 hot title - Less than one year" is as hot as they say it is
Comment has been collapsed.
I suppose one could just go into it with the idea that one might receive some really good stuff to trade. (That's my thought. The odds of them giving all games I actually want to activate are really low.)
Comment has been collapsed.
• Hot title - Less than one year old. - Risen 3 (Skeleton hint)
• Hidden gems from developers - Gauntlet (Bombs and arrows hint)

they stole me 12 euro.....this is a shitting bundle....
Comment has been collapsed.
They must land a hit with their bundle, at least the first one needs to be such a kickstarter, that they can get more customers for the monthly bundle. To my mind they cant risk the chance to fail from start on, that would be such a ... dont even think about!!
im totally trustin` HB &
im really really excited to open my bundle tomorrow xD
Comment has been collapsed.
My thoughts exactly. A lot of the hints seem pretty open to interpretation. But I figure Humble will act in their own self-interest. And their self-interest, in this case, involves making this first month really attractive.
Is that a sure thing? No. But it strikes me as a very likely one.
Comment has been collapsed.
We figured that one wrong, I guess. I mean, they did pick good games, in that they were all very well reviewed games. But the wow factor simply wasn't there.
Comment has been collapsed.
indeed. wel im goin to c whats comin into the next bundle, if the hints arent looking good im out
Comment has been collapsed.
Same. Actually, I cancelled already. If I do sign up again I'll probably do it from my other e-mail address (since I get an extra copy of a game that way).
I did activate Besiege. And I've been getting trade offers for much of the rest. So I guess it wasn't a total loss. But still...

Got it too hour ago , really hope it will include Valkyria Chronicles otherwise I will be disapointed.

I don't know if it means anything, but I saw this skeleton on the Shovel Knight wiki:

He also appears to be holding a lantern.

What happens if we start the Paypal payment process before the deadline and finish the payment after games are revealed?
:D
Comment has been collapsed.
Probably the last hint its Towerfall Ascension. It have only one weapon, a bow with arrows.. and explosive arrows! You must collect the arrow once you throw it. The hint shows arrows in the floor and bombs.
Comment has been collapsed.
What if we got Trolled way to hard and get 7 copies of Bad Rats :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Just got it, I really hope Valkyria Chronicles will be included :)

I dunno, I just took a shot just like I do with Groupees...albeit 12x more expensive but then I might be an addict :-p
Comment has been collapsed.
was about to bite the bullet and get it... except my paypal was missing $0.20 to purchase, and i won't be able to add cash fast enough to get it in time.
Whelp decision auto-made for me lol

If I don't intend to get the december bundle (at least right now), should I unsubscribe right away? Or can do it later? When will I be charged?
Comment has been collapsed.
You have some time, from faq future bundles should be charged around 1 week before unlock (so around 3 weeks from now).
https://support.humblebundle.com/hc/en-us/articles/210560328#How-do-I-cancel
Comment has been collapsed.
But if they release a game earlier (as this first time with Legends of Grimrock 2) you won't be allowed to unsubscribe. That part is a bit tricky :/ But it seems it only happens for the first time you subscribe (so if someone subscribe for the December bundle, they will receive one of the games earlier than the old subscribers, just to avoid they unsubscribe their first month)
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, I guess I can just unsubscribe today and forget about it XD There is no penalty for unsubscribing, right?
Comment has been collapsed.
Nope just unsubscribe right after games are available. Plan on doing the same.
Comment has been collapsed.
No penalties, afaik. What I don't know is if you subscribe again you will count as a new subscriber and receive the game earlier being not able to cancel the December bundle
Comment has been collapsed.
It is my understanding that the first time bonus game is from the previous months bundle. So if someone signs up starting with the December bundle they will get one of the games from the November bundle not one from the December bundle.
Comment has been collapsed.
lol no, if someone subscribe for the December bundle, they will receive one of the 'good' games from the bundle earlier. It would be insane if they received a bundle and a half for the same price. It is design
Comment has been collapsed.
EDIT: You are... right D:
first-time subscribers receive instant access to one of the top titles from the previous month."
So the December subscribers will receive their bundle and one of the games of this bundle.... It smells like the next bundle is gonna be worse than this one (they are going to receive an extra game for the same price...)
Comment has been collapsed.
it doesn't show it will be worse. the bonus game for the november subscribers is log2 since there is no previous month's bundle yet. it's the same system. doesn't matter when you subscribe for the first time, you'll get a bonus game on your first month.
Comment has been collapsed.
Isn't considered 'log2' as part of the November bundle? But I suppose we won't know it until we see the content of both bundles and calculate their 'real' price. I will feel disappointed if the first bundle is less worth than the second one.
Comment has been collapsed.
yes, it's part of the november bundle as the bonus game for the first-time subscribers.
Comment has been collapsed.
You beat me to it. I was about to post that quote here. Legend of Grimrock 2 was kind of special situation because there was no monthly bundle last month.

Yep I read wrong that part the first time, thanks for pointing it out

So I just bought this using Paypal, got an email from Paypal saying
You sent a payment of $12.00 USD to Humble Bundle, Inc.
But I didn't receive any email from Humble, nor can I find anywhere on their website that the payment went through and that I'm subscribed.
Is this normal?
Didn't get Grimrock 2 yet either.
Comment has been collapsed.
I fucked up and tried again, got another email from Paypal so now I'm getting charged twice, and still nothing has shown up on Humble.
I sent them an email, hopefully it gets read this week.
Comment has been collapsed.
I payed with a credit card. But I got email confirmation from Humble, and a link to my Grimrock key, almost immediately just like a normal Humble purchase. I think something may have gone wrong for you.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for the info. I've bought from them a bunch of times with no issues so I'm guessing their server is screwed up somehow. I'm wondering if this is somehow related to them being concerned that Paypal users could theoretically dispute payments after seeing the games in the bundle.
Comment has been collapsed.
I checked my email records. I quickly received an email with the subject line "Welcome to Humble Monthly!". Both the confirmation and the link for Grimrock II were in that e-mail.
Comment has been collapsed.
Submitted a support request too. Maybe it has something to do with the timing (last day) of purchase?
Hope we get it sorted.
Comment has been collapsed.
Just an update for the hell of it since I know I'm going to be dealing with support anyway. I just tried subscribing with a card instead of Paypal and that isn't working either, just stalls out instead of going through.
Comment has been collapsed.
Same problem as you guys. Just got my Paypal confirmation mail and nothing else.
Comment has been collapsed.
And don't worry for being charged twice. You are only allowed to receive one bundle, so once they process your subscription, you will receive a refund for the second attempt
Comment has been collapsed.
I bought it with Paypal (the day after they introduced it) and received the email immediately :/
Comment has been collapsed.
I just payed with Paypal also and received no email from Humble Bundle. You can see your subscription status here https://www.humblebundle.com/user/settings. Mine says I am not subscribed.
I think the Humble site is having trouble checking that the Paypal transaction completed. My guess is that it is just slow because many people are subscribing before the bundle starts. I am sure Humble will get the keys to us as long we can show that we paid before the bundle is released.
Comment has been collapsed.
Strangely the Stripe/Debit card payment I sent afterwards did just go through, I got an email in my promotions folder a minute ago, however on Humble it still says I'm not subscribed, though I did check and $12 was removed from my bank account.
The paypal payments still have nothing going on it seems.

I got 3 of those emails but it seems like I was only charged once, I'll have to keep an eye on my bank statement but everything seems okay now thanks.

Ordered in hopes of Besiege. Rest I plan on giving away.
Comment has been collapsed.
This isn't likely, but I am almost imagining their whole "hint" system to be a full on red herring. That the games inside are going to be complete surprises, for better or worse.
Comment has been collapsed.
That would be awesome and I wish Humble would do it just to see the angry posts about it on here/reddit. XD
Comment has been collapsed.
I hope you're right, and I'm saying this as someone who couldn't resist and bought the bundle. None of the games in my wishlist's top 20 are rumored to be in this bundle (didn't look beyond). If any of them actually makes it, I'll be happy.
Comment has been collapsed.
What's red, hangs on the wall, and whistles?
I'm sort of hoping that too. (Though I'd like Besieged.) At any rate, I'd really prefer if they just dispensed with the hints altogether.
