It just gives me an error, no matter how many times i try to refresh. Here is a pic to see what I am talking about:

It is having significant server troubles, as you're always playing with several hundred other people per game. Keep trying at different times of the day, that's all I can say.

Same, don't even know what it is, or if I should bother, since it's never loaded for me.

@corvak: If you can get it at least loaded up once, it'll let you access the daily milestone deals that unlock. The game itself is basically an MMO raid version of Clicker Heroes. You click on monsters to deal damage, killing monsters gets you gold. Gold lets you upgrade your click damage, enable auto-fire, and purchase abilities (such as "gain a bit of gold for every click for the next X seconds"). The big difference between this and something like Clicker Heroes is that you're playing cooperatively with 800 people (and consequently the monsters have like a thousand times as much health as you'd have in a single player game).

Every time I've tried it, though, it's been reeeeaaally laggy.

I kept running into the same issue, but joining a friend's game worked for me.

Even as someone who loves idle/clicker/incremental games, it isn't worth your time.

If you have any friends who are playing, you can try joining their game instead; it gave me that same error for the first six hours of the sale yesterday, but joining a friend's game got me through instantly. If all of your friends are too high of a level, just wait until 9am Pacific and try again, because the game will reset then for the next day of sales unlocks.

@ajamafalous: thanks for the suggestion I will try it!

Any idea what this accomplishes? Just seems very pointless.

Ask for a refund (I'm hilarious).

I tihnk at the end of the sale, the camera will pan around and you'll have been Gordon Freeman the whole time.

"Is this unlocking Half Life 3?"

"No... this WAS Half Life 3"

@karaterauser: Please, this isn't Half-Life 3. It's actually Half-Life 2: Episode 3.

Seriously, though, as someone who has spent an unreasonable amount of time on garbage-y clicker things, this is really terrible. Makes me feel a lot better about the unreasonable amount of time I've spent on Cookie Clicker and Adventure Capitalist.

On topic for the original post, I originally had this problem as well. Try again... If you bother. Like I said, this is sorta garbage.
