Pledge Packages
-
Do the kickstarter stretch goals for backers go into the identical pledge packages up in the store or will those stay just for kickstarter?
Basically...if I buy the store early bird packages do I get the kickstarter stretch goal rewards like Unique Spell FX?
-
@sintu This award is for kickstarter members only
-
Thought so. Thanks for clearing that up.

Hmmm it says "all backers" and not "all kick starter backers", and forum crowdfunding is an extension of KS campaign for those players who couldn't use KS payment methods, so I wouldn't bet on that it is only for KS backers.
Someone official should be able to answer you this with certainty.

@gothix The backer-based stretch goals are exclusive to Kickstarter backers. More information can be found here.

Thanks so much for clearing that up!

Oh whaaaat, so pledging now doesn't get you extra goodies? That sucks =/

@Zenopo People who pledge now still get all the rewards you see on the funding page. There were separate KS backer rewards. So don't worry. As of now, you'll still get the labyrinth and lich awards, plus any rewards from your pledge level. You'll also get the rewards from any other pledge goals they hit.

Yeah, I have always seen this as a discrimination of players that do not use credit cards, and can't use KS.
The only fair thing would be to have crowdfunding up at the same time on KS and on own website to allow for extra payment options and then give rewards to everyone that participated. But I didn't see any MMO that did that yet. Every MMO I've seen so far first does KS, rewards everyone who pledged at KS with extra rewards, and they after when own store is made on own website they say to other players, sure give us your money we still want it, but no extra rewards for you.
And then companies are surprised why "own website" store sales are so low. Many people don't pledge because they see this as very unfair policy. A form of discrimination against people that don't use credit card.
I mean the main fault lies on KS that doesn't allow for additional payment methods, but companies could certainly work around that if they wished so, saying that they will extend crowdfunding for a while on own website with the same rewards as on KS.
Sadly I didn't see any company do that yet.

@needlehawk
Which is nice...but does that mean others who don't pledge during this time will not be allowed those things? I saw fishing as a pledge goal, is that going to be blocked off to those who didn't pledge?@Gothix
Perhaps, though my issue lies with the funding still going, not on Kickstarter, without extra goodies, so like you mentioned, why pledge now if you don't get anything extra for it =/

@zenopo Unlocked pledge goals will be available to everyone, not just backers.
