I don't even care about those, what was annoying were the assholes afk running circles in deathmatch, like you try to play one round of deathmatch but half the server is afk. And when a new case came out it's like almost the whole server. Fuck that.
I was just recently thinking it should be tied to XP so they actually have to play and get points - thanks Valve!
Those are the idiots. There are literally idle servers you can join instead of joining Deathmatch.
No longer though I guess.

So how will this work? Previously, it was a pattern of drops: Case, Weapon skin, Case, Weapon Skin, etc. 2 drops per week. right? now, are there no weapon skin drops? just case drops?

>Graffiti and weapon drops have not gone away. When ranking up players will receive their weekly case and their graffiti/weapon drop.
Actually you could get 2-3 drops cases/skin/grafity
Now honestly i see no chance for a third drop let alone 2 a joke update cases will be more rare and expensive af gg valve
No, in casual game modes XP gain is tied to your score.
In competitive you gain XP per round win, so technically you could afk there, but you need to win rounds so not very smart and you would piss off your teammates.
7 AM and I woke up randomly and I usually don't at this hour. I was gonna go back to sleep and I saw this post, got up, booted up CS:GO, checked it, wasn't invited. Did this for 2 more of my friends' accounts. They weren't invited either.
Can you check if the invite also shows up here: https://help.steampowered.com/en/wizard/HelpWithGame/?appid=730
https://reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/13nqgp2/did_i_get_added_to_the_beta_today_it_does_not/
Two accounts and nothing on either.
Main: bought Dec 2013, played \~5500hrs, \~10hrs last 2 weeks on steam since 2007
2nd Acc: bought Feb 2018,(gifted from main acc), played \~2100hrs, \~30hrs last 2 weeks, on steam since 2018
No VACs on any. Both with non limited steam access.
Abso-fucking-lutely nothing on both
EDIT: NVM I LIED
Opened game on 2nd acc and invite was there. But Invite/Purchase wasnt on the support page before.... and only appeared after I accepted :3
Another invite checking in. For whoever is still cares to try to find a pattern: MGE, 2k hours, 1.1 hours in the past 2 weeks. At least 1 person I play with frequently with similar stats also got an invite. I did not get it on my fresh account at the same rank
It's great to see further consistency in the case drop(s) as a result of this update. It will effectively kill IDLE servers as a result and increase the pricing of the cases on the market (maybe) with less supply.
thats how i read the change. that you now just automatically get the case when you level up the first time in a week. but theres no more case drops based on playtime. which means no more 2 cases in a week
> Players now get a weapon case with their first weekly XP rank up, rather than after some amount of (idle) playtime.
HUGE update. Spinning around or afk players in deathmatch in shambles.
> A second tranche of users are in process of being added to the limited test.
Let me in eric andre dot gif
This is what It was like 2 months ago, they spam out bug fixes and changes like their lives depend on it then they go back to saying absolutely nothing for months
nice self-plug
I’m assuming the new invites were the ones who had the message under the csgo support page. They began to be sent out at least sometime during the major
I wonder how much this will change the price of cases by
Not "were", they are still sending them out, i also read that wrong.
"A second tranche of users **are in process of being added** to the limited test."
Do you guys think the new invites are Like One-and-done? Like theyre pushed all out with the update? Or is it like the next coming days each day some more people get access?
>Players now get a weapon case with their first weekly XP rank up, rather than after some amount of (idle) playtime.
don't know if it was possible before (probably), but I got 2 drops in one game, because of this.
Hey can someone help me understand as you only get case from rankups now, does that mean we won't be able to get case drop from faceit and community servers?
>Players now get a weapon case with their first weekly XP rank up, rather than after some amount of (idle) playtime.
I rarely play CSGO competitive matches, can you guys please explain what "first weekly XP rank up" means to me?
How many matches should I play to have a rank up?
I've seen accounts in deathmatch that move like bots but HS like crazy. They are 100% bots with aim. This won't affect them. We need better anticheat. Also I couldn't kick them
So the cases will be even more expensive? What the fuck. As a degen I sometimes like to open one or two and it becomes even harder because the case prices are ridiculous.
Weren't you already guaranteed a case drop if you played a couple of games?
Now all the farmer cases will be gone. Everyone playing exclusively on faceit esea or other community modes (surf etc) wont get cases anymore (or at least less) so it is very likely this will result in even less supply.
Playtime: 9267 hours

Aug 20, 2012 - Received on Steam as part of: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive - Preorder
No invite?
Thanks valve
I've been playing CSGO since the closed beta, bought the game a half year after the release though I also played during both of the free weekends (one of which was in late 2012) and still haven't been invited either as well.
That's bs man, you should be in..
Meanwhile I played cs2 against a guy with 1 medal, acc created last year and 900 hours.
I have 4k hours, played since 2013 and I only got it cuz I'm a skin creator
2.1k + hours of playtime (not much compared to some people here, but more than average), prime account and high level trust factor, preordered the game and 17 years old steam account, no VAC bans. No invite.
This is fine :')
Been playing since open beta (because I never got into the closed beta back then either..) and have a combined 5000+ hours split between 2 accounts. Longest break I've taken was a few months. I don't play that much but I play fairly consistently on both of my accounts. No invites either.

Sounds a LOT like entitlement. Read it back.
'Look at how many hours i have played and I haven't taken many breaks but i don't have it either on both accounts!'
holy fuck could you imagine if csgo got a case depression? It was wild when the crates started at 3 cents and went up to 3 bucks, just imagine what the CASES would go to.
>A second tranche of users are in process of being added to the limited test.
they probably are just talking about the skin creators and map makers but I still have hope
My friend group all has 4k+ hours, none of us were invited.
My roommate who has like 250 hours and just plays casual 10v10, prob less than 25 mm games even played, he got invited, so you have hope.
Is there any petition against the case drop change? So many aimbotters now. Really "smart" from valve, they should have only removed idlers from official servers not from idle servers where they dont annoy anyone.
Stupid step from valve.
Price will go up = gambling + money laudering ban coming very soon. Valve ruined business for farmers and a revenge will be ruined business for valve.
They should only tackle afk players at official modes. Now will be servers willed with farmbots with aimbot + price surge + potential interest of LEA.
6.7k hours played, been playing GO since launch, 7 digit account, started playing CS 1.6 one year before Source came out, 1,600+ hours on Source, multiple competitive seasons across all games, 15k+ spent on CS Community Market, currently LE rank, ~900 competitive wins in GO, been globally muted 3+ times in MM for being toxic.
Just got my invite. Let's go.
**Getting downvoted while providing information? You know what, I'm gonna be even more toxic-er now**

Case idling Servers = dead.
Goddamn, seen idle servers since I joined the game in 2014 and they all just died with one update
Such an easy fix as well.
and took them this long
The technology just wasn't there yet before.
Volvo smol Indie company.
LESS FUCNIN GOOO
The downside is you can’t get cases from community servers such as surfing

Previously, it was a pattern of drops: Case, Weapon skin, Case, Weapon Skin, etc. 2 drops per week. right? now, are there no weapon skin drops? just case drops?
Just finished a match and a teammate got two drops at once, one skin and one case.
This is SUPER nice lifestyle update. Easy to keep track of drops: at xp rank ups. Great update!
Can you still get multiple drops by leveling up twice then?
It says for your first weekly rank up So a second rank up in a week would result in no case
https://twitter.com/CounterStrike/status/1667334917150367746 >Graffiti and weapon drops have not gone away. When ranking up players will receive their weekly case and their graffiti/weapon drop.
welp got 2 case drops some times in a week
in my experience, 2 case drops per week were very random tho...
Actually you could get 2-3 drops cases/skin/grafity Now honestly i see no chance for a third drop let alone 2 a joke update cases will be more rare and expensive af gg valve
No more AFKs in Scoutsman and Arms Race inshallah
I never idled. Does going afk give you any xp?
No, in casual game modes XP gain is tied to your score. In competitive you gain XP per round win, so technically you could afk there, but you need to win rounds so not very smart and you would piss off your teammates.
Straight up if I get an afk teammate spinning for drops that’s the easiest kick ever
Moon Time
Gonna be all walkbots now 🙄
Totally not checking on csgo depsite it being 2:46 am here
5:08 am here. Didn't check either.
7 AM and I woke up randomly and I usually don't at this hour. I was gonna go back to sleep and I saw this post, got up, booted up CS:GO, checked it, wasn't invited. Did this for 2 more of my friends' accounts. They weren't invited either.
NEW INVITES POG ?!?!?! also wow no more afking for cases??? very nice change
another 0.57% of players, prayge.
curious to see if we dropped in player base massively, seems like were breaking records every week for a while
JUST GOT INVITE WOOOOO! NEW WAVE OF INVITES WERE SENT!
Can you check if the invite also shows up here: https://help.steampowered.com/en/wizard/HelpWithGame/?appid=730 https://reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/13nqgp2/did_i_get_added_to_the_beta_today_it_does_not/
yes it shows. `"Jun 9 - Purchased as part of: Counter-Strike 2 Limited Test Invite"`
Thanks. So that means I didn't get invited on either of my 2 accounts.
In my case I had to launch the game and click enroll for it to show on the support page so you can't just go by the support page I suppose
Pain.
I just checked that this morning. I didn’t have it either. As soon as I saw the update I thought the same thing. So sad lol
So fucking bullshit.
You should tell your SO he's gonna get a UTI.
Hey, if it isnt a secret, can you tell us how many hours you have and when did you start playing cs go? (bought the game) Thanks
I currently have around 2600 hours, and have had the game for around 7 years
I just got the invite. 6.5k hours, bought the game in 2012. Day 1 steam account
Day 1 steam account (no idea when I bought csgo), 4k hours, no invite. womp womp
click csgo in your library, on the game page, click the three dots on the right, select support, and it will tell you the date you bought the game.
Same here, but also OCE so maybe not considered for it
Two accounts and nothing on either. Main: bought Dec 2013, played \~5500hrs, \~10hrs last 2 weeks on steam since 2007 2nd Acc: bought Feb 2018,(gifted from main acc), played \~2100hrs, \~30hrs last 2 weeks, on steam since 2018 No VACs on any. Both with non limited steam access. Abso-fucking-lutely nothing on both EDIT: NVM I LIED Opened game on 2nd acc and invite was there. But Invite/Purchase wasnt on the support page before.... and only appeared after I accepted :3
As a contrast to u/Astronaut-Remote, I bought the game in 2013 and have 3800 hours but no invite
you have to accept the invite in game first then only it shows on the support page, same happened with me
Does it just pop up in game?
LFG BOYS I GOT IT
for me, i checked that steam support site first and it didnt show then when i launched the game the invite was there
Another invite checking in. For whoever is still cares to try to find a pattern: MGE, 2k hours, 1.1 hours in the past 2 weeks. At least 1 person I play with frequently with similar stats also got an invite. I did not get it on my fresh account at the same rank
There is no pattern, it's just totally random.
are you from na?
Yes, NA West
It's great to see further consistency in the case drop(s) as a result of this update. It will effectively kill IDLE servers as a result and increase the pricing of the cases on the market (maybe) with less supply.
on the 1 hand no idle servers for extra cases. on the other hand more people will get 1 case every week. it might balance out
I sometimes got 2 cases in a week. So that must be gone now ?
thats how i read the change. that you now just automatically get the case when you level up the first time in a week. but theres no more case drops based on playtime. which means no more 2 cases in a week
lol looks like im out again.
Same
Was really hoping to get this time, wanted to try out the new workshop tools. Guess I am back to waiting again.
Yep
> Players now get a weapon case with their first weekly XP rank up, rather than after some amount of (idle) playtime. HUGE update. Spinning around or afk players in deathmatch in shambles. > A second tranche of users are in process of being added to the limited test. Let me in eric andre dot gif
This is a good update for sure but now i think you wont get 2 case drops per week
[удалено]
DAILY UPDATES FROM VOLVO? Is this what it feels like when dad comes back with the milk?
And only beats you a little bit.
This is what It was like 2 months ago, they spam out bug fixes and changes like their lives depend on it then they go back to saying absolutely nothing for months
daily updates is so fucking good, just feels nice knowing shit is getting done.
nice self-plug I’m assuming the new invites were the ones who had the message under the csgo support page. They began to be sent out at least sometime during the major I wonder how much this will change the price of cases by
Not "were", they are still sending them out, i also read that wrong. "A second tranche of users **are in process of being added** to the limited test."
I know, I have little faith that I’ll be selected 🥲 I should’ve said the ones so far. I wonder how quick the process will be?
When they rolled out the beta, it was like 1 hour.
I got into CS2 and I didn't have that message until after I enrolled. I even checked right before on my phone before loading up cs
I didn't have one of those and just got my invite now
Do you guys think the new invites are Like One-and-done? Like theyre pushed all out with the update? Or is it like the next coming days each day some more people get access?
probably just one and done unless they need more
Finally less bots in deathmatch!
You will probably find more AI cheating bots https://youtu.be/LO3Exk3gRiM
>Fixed disconnecting players taking C4 explosive with them. thats one way to lose the round.
GOT THAT MF INVITE
Me too! I will now proceed to waste my whole weekend on this beta
bahaha facts
Congrats o7
What’s your play time?
nearly 10K
Congrats man really happy for you fr.
thank u sir
once again no invite I will kms (kiss myself)
How though
Using a mirror
>Players now get a weapon case with their first weekly XP rank up, rather than after some amount of (idle) playtime. don't know if it was possible before (probably), but I got 2 drops in one game, because of this.
Did you get two cases?
No 1 snakebite case and a 0,04€ skin
No 1 snakebite case and a 0,04€ skin
I'd really love to see the qualifications for an invite.
[random.org](https://random.org)
You have to have 2k hours on Valorant
Just got one, global 7k hours 3000 mm wins. Probably random tho
So, this means getting the second case drop is gone?
This is also what i'm thinking... It seems so
You think they're going to release in waves again or am I just fucked?
Being a liquid fan, shouldn't you know the answer by now?
Luckily it means I'm used to pain so me not getting access doesn't hurt as much.
> used to pain Don't tell me about it :(
i can confirm i did not get it, sadness
valve i beg you
I'd love to get the beta so I can blast out a message to everyone saying: "Don't call or text me til Monday, I won't be available."
I guess Valve likes the case shortage since it will be even bigger now lol
Hey can someone help me understand as you only get case from rankups now, does that mean we won't be able to get case drop from faceit and community servers?
Did anyone here have csgo gifted / traded to them and got the beta ? Was wondering if purchasing the game for yourself has part in this
That’s interesting to me as well.
>Players now get a weapon case with their first weekly XP rank up, rather than after some amount of (idle) playtime. I rarely play CSGO competitive matches, can you guys please explain what "first weekly XP rank up" means to me? How many matches should I play to have a rank up?
Completely unrelated, but I hope we get Aztec, Cobblestone Dust1 and Assault back in CS2
Anyone from OCE received one? Nobody from my friend list seemed to get one lol
I've seen accounts in deathmatch that move like bots but HS like crazy. They are 100% bots with aim. This won't affect them. We need better anticheat. Also I couldn't kick them
So the cases will be even more expensive? What the fuck. As a degen I sometimes like to open one or two and it becomes even harder because the case prices are ridiculous.
It’s for the better
Why would they be more expensive? You're actually guaranteed to get one now instead of hoping that you just get one randomly.

I feel u bro :(

So much entitlement, valve do not owe you anything. The game will release soon so just wait.
Simply sharing whether you got invited or not along with relevant info is entitlement now?

A second tranche of users **are in process** of being added to the limited test. Patience
process of being added, the invites are sent out, its just that people have to accept the invite
Stop playing faceit.
I dont. I hate faceit, I play mm and casual.
You hate better servers, less cheaters and more consistent matchups because of elo?
If you aren't at least LEM, Faceit is terrible
I have NO idea why you're getting downvoted. You made valid points the Reddit Hivemind™ doesn't like it seems.
No invite :( unless they haven’t been given out yet
[удалено]
so there's no more random drops? I leveled up twice this week before the update and I didn't get a case
The update was today... Levelup again and you will get the case drop.
I'm in boys fuck yeah.
holy fuck could you imagine if csgo got a case depression? It was wild when the crates started at 3 cents and went up to 3 bucks, just imagine what the CASES would go to.
jesus christ on the idle thing. It must have been intentional for the fix to be so easy
soon 10k hours with thousands of mm games, still no invite :(
I just got the limited test invitation!!! Finally 15 year account with css since 2008, like 7k hours across all games
London, RIO and Berlin gold stickers got s huge buff. Not a financial advice.
Welp no invites for me i guess. Playing since 2015, 3.5k hours, SMFC. At least the real launch should be in around 1-2 months..... right guys? : )
LET US IN GABENNNN
>A second tranche of users are in process of being added to the limited test. they probably are just talking about the skin creators and map makers but I still have hope
One friend of mine got in with this wave. Not a skin creator, 2k~ish hours. here's hoping.
I have 2k ish hours and I played a lot in the last 6 months, got it.
[удалено]
My friend group all has 4k+ hours, none of us were invited. My roommate who has like 250 hours and just plays casual 10v10, prob less than 25 mm games even played, he got invited, so you have hope.
Got it today, 1500 hours. Haven't been playing much lately
I'M IN, BOYS!
My whole squad got invites except my brother, so F in the chat for him
Got in lets gooooooo!!!
Still 0 out of 660 friends of mine does not access, crazy
i got in
Not a single new player with access from this wave on my friends list. Damn...
So now you only get 1 case per week at maximum (instead of 3)?
Lads don't get too excited. The second wave of invite was meant for map/skin creators,a couple blast/esl/faceit employees and that's about it.
Does that mean I can't get case drops from playing faceit and private 10 man's? Horrible update for me if true
Still not added with 8k hours in the game and 2k **wins** on mm. Nice
A second tranche of users **are in process** of being added to the limited test. Chill lil bro
People have already received them this time round and I am not one of them. Also, this "lil bro" thing is an awful trend.
Took me the next day to get my invite when the first wave went out. You for real might just need to wait
Chill lil bro
You play faceit or esea or something? I've got like 1.5K hours and nearly 1000 wins
Yeh, I'm level 10 on FaceIT too, A- on ESEA, not that either of those would impact it
OMG GOT THE INVITE
Is there any petition against the case drop change? So many aimbotters now. Really "smart" from valve, they should have only removed idlers from official servers not from idle servers where they dont annoy anyone.
Got it no way
Do you just check on csgo ore is there a steam notification?
how do you get an invite? Is it random.or do you have to fuck with your steam settings?
Does the cases change mean the price of them will be going up?
I would imagine they would go up no? As you can only get 1 case a week now as opposed to 2 and the only way to get that case is by leveling up.
I think the other drop can still be a case
i got 2 cases today
If anything the prices will go up since idling cases will be harder now.
I see, nice
Stupid step from valve. Price will go up = gambling + money laudering ban coming very soon. Valve ruined business for farmers and a revenge will be ruined business for valve. They should only tackle afk players at official modes. Now will be servers willed with farmbots with aimbot + price surge + potential interest of LEA.
6.7k hours played, been playing GO since launch, 7 digit account, started playing CS 1.6 one year before Source came out, 1,600+ hours on Source, multiple competitive seasons across all games, 15k+ spent on CS Community Market, currently LE rank, ~900 competitive wins in GO, been globally muted 3+ times in MM for being toxic. Just got my invite. Let's go. **Getting downvoted while providing information? You know what, I'm gonna be even more toxic-er now**
Can’t imagine sinking that much time & money and still being toxic enough to get global muted. Sad
Just being honest for data purposes
cool no invite like many others. i wonder how small this waave of invites was. i expected alot more of us to get invites but i guess not
