        • +2

          fallout 76 is a masterpiece compared to Anthem

  • +2

    looks like they learn to reduce bot by changing release time. maybe it was coded to claim on specific time. they could've just added captcha to counter bot.

    • +2

      your logic and reasonable thinking is not welcome by kinguin

  • ssshhh F5'n

  • brutal legend
    but can't install steam app configuration error, does not appear in games list but says i have it if try re-inputting code, is it location restricted?

  • Awww! First one I manage to get is one that's already in my steam account, which was originally a freebie.

    • can i have it then lmao

    • Most of the games I have gotten were the same
      I have only gotten three games that weren't freebies before.

  • Already had Brutal Legend and managed to get a key. A really good game but it dragged on at the end unfortunately so I never finished it.

    Anyone interested in a trade? I'm after Oblivion, Battlefield 4, UT3, Dungeons 3, Rayman Origins, Do Not Feed The Monkeys, The Ship Murder Party.

    • +1

      Same
      Darn man this really isn't worth it but for some reason I'm drawn to try again in an hour, it's like a parasite!

  • 3.05am: City of Chains

  • +1

    With the anti bot check , the site now loads way quicker. But still on few keys are given, at the moment I see it is already gone.

  • they have captcha now

  • What was the 4:00 game? I didn’t even see it

    • Must've been a good one with very few keys. I haven't seen it yet either.

      • And it could still have not dropped yet if no ones seen it, would be good if there was some indication that this hours drop is done, like a time on the sign next to the penguin. 4:00 games gone, etc

        Coz if I haven’t seen it the penguin looks the same and I’m just gonna keep refreshing in case I miss it, or check here to see if people got it.

    • Sniper Ghost Warrior 3

  • Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 @ 2am (WST). I missed it, gone in under a second.

  • damn captcha did me in as it was already 4:00 when i finished

  • +1

    endless space collection gone inside 6 seconds, got an offer on the third refresh, but didn't reach the orange button before all the keys were claimed.

  • +1

    endless space collection but gone in a sec

  • +1

    :( Wasn't logged in for some reason, was gone within the minute.

  • Good grief, why am I awake this early on a Sunday?
    Spec Ops: The Line is the current game. That was much easier to grab than anything last night.

  • What I have :
    Spec Ops: The Line Steam CD Key
    F1 2014 Steam CD Key
    Brutal Legend Steam CD Key

    What I want:
    Max Payne 2
    Max Payne 3

    • Now I have Dragon Age: Origins Origin key. trade me something I don't have.

  • Dragon Age Origins. Missed this one.
    Not a Steam game this time.

  • Dragon age Origins 0700

    • It was gone in a split second this time.
      More people waking up?

      • Or people getting their bots setup again

        • Possibly. Cos, that was really quick this time around.
          Either that, or I just refreshed a split second to late.

          • @AuSlade: I got signed out when I clicked claim. 502 error after that and couldn't log in again for 2 mins =(

            • @Nitr0: yeah a lot of people are experiencing issues
              This has not been worth it at all. I have tried for literally every hour that I've been awake and so far the only useful game I've gotten is Oblivion.

              • @Ostrk: Morning! What's the state of play? I just reloaded the page and got a captcha. Interesting. Still random times?

                • @brtbbq: The past few have been at normal times on the hour. No more random times.

  • +2

    Interesting. They've added anti-bot/DDOS captchas, and moved the site from https://kinguin.net/crazyweekends to https://crazyweekends.kinguin.net/

    I guess they weren't as safe from bots as they claimed.

    Updated the drop list, because apparently I'm a sucker.

      Welcome back mate :)

  • +1

    site is broken. will not even let me claim at all, waste of time

  • +1

    Twice in a row now that I've clicked the button and nothing has happened. Man…

    • I saw the game i just got booted as i clicked it

      • I press the button and nothing happens at all then two minutes later it logs me out, now I can't log back in?
        what is up with this site

        • New policy: Anti-human F5 prevention. Only bots may claim keys.

          • @alvian: I'm wondering if due to them moving part of their back end around for the anti-ddos if that last drop was broken for literally everyone.

  • Lucious 8am…but didn't get it. Gone as soon as i refreshed :(

  • +1

    same twice in a row button does nothing or stuck loading

  • +1

    Lucius.

    Yeah page loaded easy but the button didn't respond to clicks. Wow.

  • +1

    It was Lucius.
    I give up.
    I was hit with the captcha, refreshed a few times (hit with the captcha twice).
    Managed to see the button, but it wouldn't do anything.
    Refresh and I'm logged out.

    Guess I refreshed too many times and the DDOS protection kicked me from the site.

    • exact same thing here

    • +1

      Unlucky :(

      This is somehow more frustrating than dealing with the lag/random times last night.

      Now the site seems broken for me — I can't load my kinguin inventory or see the "all games claimed" picture, just infinite "loading…"

      • I can't even log back in now :)
        I think "we" (being everyone around the planet) have killed the site. Whoops.

  • OK, so I think they've moved the crazyweekends part of the site to a new server instance, and now it's breaking at the point where it has to interface with the main server, which isn't keeping up with the traffic.

    I experienced the same symptoms - saw the button, no response on click, logged out.

    Now the inventory page is hanging instead of loading.

    • ^ This. I logged out hoping it'd help, but now sign in isn't working.

      Hope they fix it by 8:55am.

  • "Unable to sign in. Please try again in a few minutes"
    Penguin bounces tirelessly

  • +1

    still loading penguins here with a side of captcha, i though the captcha would help but haven't got a key since.

    • +2

      The anti-DDoS is really aggressive. It appears to have killed Chrome's ability to load the page. Loaded fine in Firefox (after I got yet another) Captcha.

      Did you try to run the "multi-tab reload" on the last hour?

      • +1

        I tried with Edge browser, and it works too.
        Chrome is a no go :-/

        I didn't get the game either. Ah well.

      • yes multi windows and browsers all small spread across 2 screens so i can run down the line hitting refresh each second and keep looping, while listening to audio books or half watching a video on half a screen

        • +1

          Yeah, don't do that. The new anti-DDoS measures look like they interpret it as botting.

          • @Grissallia: yeah was wondering about that and what to do, thanks. I noticed that the captcha loads after a dozen or so refreshes, but then not for 10mins or more so don't start refreshing just before the o'clock, you'll get the captcha at the o'clock, not sure how to do it except not chrome aparently and single window… ideas?

            • +2

              @sealedjono: Clear your cache in Chrome, log in again. Otherwise, what you've detailed, I think.

  • -1

    Holy crap, I can log in and Lucius is in my inventory! Everyone go check!

    • Nice.
      Well done :)

      I can't login, still.

      • I don't think it helped, but I tried clicking on the bubble to go to the old kinguin site, which sort of half works — when you try to go to your inventory it takes you back to the new site, with a popup saying try again later. I just refreshed and it logged in and displayed my inventory.

        Anyway it looks like when you click the button and nothing happens, there's a chance it did actually add the game to your inventory but for whatever reason it didn't show.

    • It still wont let me log in

      • Try a different browser.
        That worked for me, and @WarWraith, it seems.

        • +1

          Did you try clearing cache in chrome?

          • @brtbbq: Not yet.

            Edit: That worked, thanks.

  • loads " all games claimed again", didn't get anything or see anything

  • Looks like they''ve added DDOS protection to the website

  • damn missed killing floor

    • For that one I had the dancing penguin every time I refreshed the page. Shame.

  • Killing Floor

    • LOL. I got signed out again. Saw the button, wouldn't do anything when I clicked on it.
      Ah well. Time to find something else to do.

      • It was fun while it worked! Time to have a weekend!

        Looking forward to trying out Arma 2 when it downloads :)

  • Pressed the claim button - nothing happened. Pressed it again a few seconds later… "Cannot claim." NICE

  • +1

    Just getting 502 bad gateway now and constantly asked to relog in, atleast there was a chance to grab them before.
    =(

  • Killing floor absolute bs, see the game, click claim, nothing happens. I’m on safari on iPhone. Worked fine yesterday
