Card drops not happening for ANY games right now, not just the monster game

An hour in and not a single card dropped from The Fall :3

I started a new game today and received nothing yet. I'm also missing cards from the previous days :(

Just received a card drop from a Steam game...hopefully it stays running smoothly.

I use Idle Master quite often and have noticed that drops seem to be appearing less frequently since the Summer Sale started. I am guessing that the quantity of card drops I received this morning from the Monster game and the instability of the Badges page over the past several days have something to do with it. Things will probably be back to normal after the game is over. It's taxing Valve's system pretty hard right now.

I see now what kind of problem you have. I am in a game for like 2 hours already and got only 1 card drop out of 5. And it's not a Summer sale Monster Game. It is Psychonauts.

Hope this will change soon.

Good luck in your fight to get the card drops going back smoothly. :)

i got 12 cards from the monster game and sold 'em all lol

monster just gave me 7 cards instantly when joining :O guess the system was lagging.

Looking more and more like 2 hours is required to get drops from games. Hope this isn't new permanent policy because that makes farming cards so much slower.

I haven't gotten any card drops for a game that's been idling for an hour.

My guessing is that they change time of the first drop due to refund policy, so people won't abuse it. You got your cards only after two hours, when you can no longer refund it.
Edit: you ninjaed my guessing already. Oh well, then I just stop by to say hello!

117 min total game play, i hope when reach 120 min the drop start, the game is battlepaths from indegala.
2Hs reached .... stand by

YEAH First drop of six after 120 min (2Hs gameplay). That sucks.

I am not getting any drop from any games for 2 days now. :(

I got four cards from a normal game yesterday. It just took one hour + 20 minutes per card instead of the usual 10 minutes/card.
Although I think the card drop times can be configured individually for games.

I wrote a post on the Suggestions section, on Steam, about fixing/tweaking it, if the system has to stay. I obviously don't expect anything to happen, but better than doing nothing.

I did just have to wait 2 hours, for drops, on two different games, so I feel the pain of everyone else in this thread. Thank god I got my other cards collected at the start of sale.

Well if it still matters, I played some hours in different games yesterday and I only got the mosnter game cards. no other. which is pretty weird but happened before once or twice. So I think today it is going to be ok =)

Seem to be getting a card an hour from Defenders Quest ...
Guess they changed the drop rate of cards or somethng ?

Well, I'm playing for 1.7h almost 2h, and no drops. So your theory must be correct. Lets see if I get 1 card in few minutes.

my card drop after 2 hour game time

confirm lock 2 hour

They definitely changed the first card drop at 15-minute to 2-hour.

Steam couldn't handle the "summer sale card selling transaction" I think, that's why they put it up to 2 hours. Also, considering that the prices have lovered themselfs since the last days, it's actually smart to wait to sell the cards on the last few days - if you'r not eager to sell em right away to be able to buy new things - of the sale since they prices will rice when there are no more monster cards dropping anymore.

They changed drops, they only happen after 2 hours to prevent abuse from refunds.

Normal game cards drop after 2 hours now, to stop the "buy, farm, refund" type of shizzles.

omg, please refund my card drop;)

i just got a booster pack o.o

took me 4.8h to drop 3 cards which is bad. It's ok if the first card drops after 2 hours, but 1-2 hours for each card after that, sucks.
