Last call! We're running out of Pots of Gold! ;-)

Heads up! Here's your last chance to take advantage of our special offer. Saint Patrick's Day has come and gone, but such a great holiday should be celebrated all week long. That's exactly what we did with our [url=http://www.gog.com/luckoftheirish]<span class="bold">Luck of The Irish</span> soon-to-end special build-your-own-bundle promo! For only 20 more hours you can pick 5 out of 25 remarkable games and create your very own dream bundle up to 90% off. Feeling lucky? Add a "Pot of Gold" to your selection! What's in the pot? Who knows? Maybe it's one of the games off your wishlist? Maybe it's one of the BIG titles? You can even select 5 pots at once to receive a special bundle built for you entirely by our relatively friendly GOG-Leprechauns!

This is your last call, as this fantastic offer will be available only until Friday, March 21, at 10:59AM GMT.

Don't miss out, and Sláinte!

so there are no old games in those pots?

JMich: Barefoot_Monkey's script does add that functionality even without updates.
Alternatively, count the rows and multiply by 5 ;)

Accatone: Or if you look at your games after you receive a game update notice, you'll notice that GOG automatically counts your games for you! :)
Yes I realise that, I'm just between updates at the moment and was curious as to how many I had. Bit frustrating as GOG obviously has the code to just show the totals but only kicks it in when there are updates.

Redfoxe: So while its tempting to do the pot of gold thing, i dont think luck is with me.

Would be nice to get Banner Saga, but the chances are way to low :P
Don't feel bad, the chance is most likely zero, it's expensive even on sale and no one reported having got it yet.
After two pots, I kept getting "the order must be gifted, you already have 3 games" on a five-pot order. When I bought the remaining games, I started getting "you already have 5 games". I don't have The Banner Saga on GOG, so it's probably not on the pot list.

LastStep: Pots of Gold are giving out a list of games already determined. A lot of people are getting Giana, Penumbra, Ittle Dew, Aqua Kitty and Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack...

Unless everyone here owns almost every game on the catalog.....
The script may prioritise wishlist items. I got Aarklash (on my wishlist) on first try with one pot and four chosen games. But only server leprechauns know for sure...
Posted March 14, 2014
Last roll: (managed to get it with 3 games I didn't own) AARKLASH, Amnesia A Machine For Pigs, Memoria, Deadly Premonition, and Penumbra collection.

So, that's where my luck was.

There are, e.g. I have no mouth... or System Shock 2.

I have no mouth and I must scream and System Shock 2 can be found in some pots and they are old games :)

EDIT: Why did I even bother? I'm always ninja'd when I try to answer some question :D zeeeeeffyr!

JMich: The gold pot has a game you already have. There's a list of ~25 games to choose from, games you already own can be chosen.
avatar
Novotnus: I thought it doesn't pick games I already have as long as there still are games I don't have on the master list... At least it worked this way for my first and second roll.
Do you have only one pot and four games you don't yet have in your Irish cart? If there are more pots, try reducing the number of pots.

You didn't know GOG forums are full of Ninjas? ;-p

Maighstir: Annoying. The "Luck of the Irish" promo page refuses to display via https but instead redirects to http, meaning it doesn't see me as logged in. Just my luck, I guess.
avatar
kklsid: Maybe try another browser. Had the problem last week on a page on my server (the other way around though, http always redirected to https) in Opera.
Firefox, Chromium and Opera all behave the same.

tonyirvingaudio: it always has done for me anyway (even if I haven't got any new or updated games) I'm not running any funky scripts just looking at my account in chrome
See the 3 attached.
Vanilla is with BarefootMonkey's script disabled.
Script is with BarefootMonkey's script enabled.
If you do have Quick Post in the bottom of the thread, then you may be seeing it due to BarefootMonkey's script. Or if the update count is more than 1 ;)

Starmaker: Do you have only one pot and four games you don't yet have in your Irish cart? If there are more pots, try reducing the number of pots.
There are at least two games I don't have and even if I add one pot to my bundle it gives me a game I already have.
I'll try again later, maybe it's some kind of bug.

Is any1 willing to trade Aqua Kitty? :>

JMich: Mine doesn't, unless there's an update or I configure Barefoot_Monkey's script to always show it. Could it be you are seeing it because one of those reasons is true?

But deonast did say that he didn't have any updates, and I guess he doesn't want to wait for one ;)

tonyirvingaudio: Right hand side where the sort by button is, click the one that displays as a list and then it comes up on the top right of your list.

it always has done for me anyway (even if I haven't got any new or updated games) I'm not running any funky scripts just looking at my account in chrome
You must have a special account. I fired up Chrome (which really seems to be slugish on start these days) and checked my list which is defaulted as a list and no indication at the top right. I only get it when I have updates. I normally use firefox and I've now tested on Chrome. Maybe your account has a bug with your collection and there is an unseen update that is not showing up some how.

------- edit -----
Even ran a refresh of my account just in case, https://secure.gog.com/en/account/refresh/
nope, no total number of games displayed.

I was lucky with my pot of gold (got Amnesia which I had been considering to buy from the standard promo for 8$ got it for 2$) so I guess my luck is depleted for today ;) OK, off I go to Tomb Raider 2. Lara won't explore Maria Doria all by herself.
