[quote name='seamoss']Probaly not many will care given the Bethesda bundle but GG is also selling the Dungeons & Dragons Anthology: The Master Collection for $4.99:

- Planescape: Torment
- Temple of Elemental Evil

All DRM-free (not Steam):

http://www.gamersgate.com/DDB-DBAMC/dungeons-and-dragons-anthology-the-master-collection

I hope I got the URL right - I'm copying it from my tablet since it managed to load the page...[/QUOTE]

Thanks! I might actually pick that up if I'm able to get on the site sometime tomorrow.
 
After much trying I was able to get all the way to the Paypal page, and it showed the correct price, and I confirmed on Paypal, but it never was able to reload on GG for final confirmation. Now when I reload GG, it is the main page, so I am guessing I missed out.
 
[quote name='asheskitty']I should cross-post this here.

Alright, some quick tips....

This link will straight up add it to your cart
http://www.gamersgate.com/shop/addtocart?sku=DDB-BETHESDANYC

IAMANELDERGEEK is a 5% discount code. Applying it will incur another page reload (eew). Only the bravest of CAGs will try to buy blue coins first and double dip on the code. I did.*

GG checkout sends me to paypal, sign in to paypal, click button, get sent to GG with a long url with a paypal token in the url (probably timeout and reload needed) sends me to the GG receipt page. I had to reload on timeouts when being sent to and returning from paypal

after the confirm button on paypal you should get a long url to gamersgate.com/something&token(obviously from paypal). I had to reload on that

Quick tip on seeing if it went through, visit https://www.gamersgate.com/shop/orderdetails/### where the last number (###) would be the number at https://www.gamersgate.com/shop/payment/### which is also your GG order id.

You can see it in your GG library at http://www.gamersgate.com/account/games[/QUOTE]

This worked like a charm, thanks for the very useful tips bro.

If you can confirm a payment on PayPal, you should be clear.
 
Ridiculous question, but how do the keys appear ... I'm clicking on the "unused serial keys" link but it's not appearing to pull up the key ... is that the way to get the key to appear?

same place i got stuck
 
Cart is empty now. Two hours all for naught. Ah well. If anybody has any spare keys, mainly the two Fallout games, I would be glad to take them off your hands ;) haha

In a perfect world, you click on the game you want, the page moves up to the top of the screen and you will see the game you selected on the top right hand corner. Underneath the picture of the game, there will be two choices, the option to get your key, or the option to send the game to somebody as a gift. Click on "get key", and after a second or two, you will see a key appear and the option to send the item as a gift disappear.

It aint really working now though. My advice is to wait until tomorrow.
 
[quote name='The End']Yeah, if a charge was made to your paypal account, congratulations, you bought the pack.[/QUOTE]

Sadly, my Paypal account does not show the charge. I am guessing the link back to GG with the paypal token in the URL has a time limit. Eventually, it just defaults to the main page.

I reloaded coming back from Paypal about 6 times before anything loaded. It took over 20 minutes and now when I log into paypal it does not show the charge from GG, even though I had confirmed with Paypal and was being sent back.

I am thinking I will give it another go, it is the weekend, but no discount is really worth wasting this much of my time.

But good luck to the rest of you!

Yep.

I can tell there are a lot of Gamersgate noobs because I keep seeing 'What does this unused keys mean?'

Normally you click it and you get your key and that's it.

Right now, not so much.
 
[quote name='tham1988']same place i got stuck[/QUOTE]

Happened to me as well. I was able to complete the transaction. Here's what I did: go back to the order page (from the email gamersgate sent you) and click the link to pay for the order. After getting redirected to paypal, login and select payment source, etc. After hitting the confirm payment button on paypal, it will try to contact gamersgate. Wait about 25 seconds and, if there is still no reply, hit your browser's stop button and reload the page (or hit enter on the Location/URL bar to load it again), repeat ad nauseum until you get a confirmation or (in my case) paypal tells you that the order was already paid for. Sure enough, it shows as paid in my paypal account and in my account at gamersgate.com Make sure you don't get double/triple charged...lol. You shouldn't. It seemed to notice that I already paid for it.

This was a total PITA, but once I invested 20 minutes in it, I was too stubborn to quit. Persistence paid off about 1.5 hours later. I played games on my android phone while waiting (free ones of course...I am a cheapass afterall) ;)
 
[quote name='jeff1304']i cant get on the site and why is everyone going nuts over the site all of a sudden ?[/QUOTE]

Unfortunately it hit Reddit. I doubt anyone is going to get it now.
 
[quote name='jeff1304']is there some sort of huge sale ? oh and reddit needs to die in a huge fire they do nothing but nuke servers ...[/QUOTE]

Slickdeals ain't helping either but there's plenty of other places too. Once something gets out on the net it spreads exponentially.

Yep you can't just blame Reddit it's everywhere from Slickdeals to NeoGAF.
 
[quote name='Umair56']fuck I added two packs by accident. Time to wait 30 more minutes to delete one.[/QUOTE]

I'm sure many here will be willing to buy the second one off you (they even may throw in extra).
 
[quote name='Umair56']fuck I added two packs by accident. Time to wait 30 more minutes to delete one.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, just buy the thing, and sell the extra off for a couple extra for 'convenience'.

[quote name='FireS']This will probably get lost in all the mess but the two D&D collections are on sale if you ever get onto the site. Neverwinter Nights complete at $14.98 and the anthology for $4.99

http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-DDNWNC/dungeons-and-dragons-neverwinter-nights-complete
http://www.gamersgate.com/DDB-DBAMC/dungeons-and-dragons-anthology-the-master-collection[/QUOTE]

Yeah, trying to buy the Anthology, but good luck navigating that store right now.
 
I would definitely be interested in buying one off of somebody if I can't get this dang paypal order to place. (No longer interested) I've been trying for about 5 hours now and I still haven't been able to get in on this great deal.

*Edit*
It took forever, but I finally was able to purchase the collection. Yay!

Gah, wish I didn't have most of these already. I only want Skyrim, New Vegas, and Dishonored.
 
[quote name='simpsonps121']Anyone try the EU gamersgate? I can log in through there... But can we purchase through them?[/QUOTE]

I'm pretty sure that you can, but you'll get hit with a currency exchange fee and the price might not be the same on the Euro site.
 
As long as the order goes through you should be fine right? Or should I go through an pay right away too?

I'm not even there yet- still clicking confirm order like crazy but just wondering if it would be safe to go to bed after that lol
 
Reposting for relevance.

If you care having trouble and you know your GG order id (don't confuse with paypal transaction id) visit https://www.gamersgate.com/shop/orderdetails/### where the last number (###) would be the number at https://www.gamersgate.com/shop/payment/### which is also your GG order id.
You can see it in your GG library at http://www.gamersgate.com/account/games

The confirm button on paypal.com should take you to http://www.gamersgate.com/shop/payme...press?order_id which you need to visit to complete the transaction. The last bit of that url is a unique id.

Quick tip on seeing if it went through, visit https://www.gamersgate.com/shop/orderdetails/### where the last number (###) would be the number at https://www.gamersgate.com/shop/payment/### which is also your GG order id.

* I had $20 in blue coins sitting in my account since the good old days of the IGN discount that I wanted to use.
 
I got all the way to the last page of paypal and it was loading then bam back at gamersgate homepage for no reason.
I don't think it went through and I think I have to start over. >.<

FFFFFUUUUUUU
 
Cross-posted from the steam thread.

I was able to get through the whole process after about 4 hours of trying.

If you are able to get the site to load at all, my small piece of advice would be to have multiple tabs, but have each one doing a different thing. 1 tab for trying to add. One tab for checking out. 1 tab for checking order history. If you get stuck at the paypal page, you should know you've succeeded if paypal sends you an email, even if you don't get redirected back to GG. At that point, check your library to see if it did go through after all.

You don't always get a sign that a step has succeeded, so it can make sense to try and see if it's possible to do the next step. Don't assume because you don't see anything in a tab that that step didn't work.

I'm in the same boat. Last step of Paypal then suddenly page won't load. No emails so I'm guessing nothing went through. UGH
 
Mine went through finally, got email, receipt page and everything, but is showing up in my library as giftable only....grr. Gifting to myself right now is a equivalent to stabbing myself in the chest 9 times per minute.
 
Finally got the email, and I can see the charge on paypal, but I can't load Gamersgate at all, no homepage, no library, nothing. I'll check tomorrow

Unless he was like me and couldn't buy two. I kept trying to check out not realizing that it wouldn't let me buy two sets. I had accidently put two in there and figured what the hell. Then realized that was part of my issue.
 
I'm getting SO CLOSE. I keep getting to the last page of paypal then it resets. :(
GamersGates says I confirmed purchase, but that there was a problem with Paypal. No Gamersgate, the problem is you refusing to ACCEPT MY GODDARNED MONEY! TAKE MY MONEY GAMERSGATE! TAKE IT!
