People who buy a founders pack today get more than yesterday
-
In a post by @Prometheus about it being the last week for pledges.
he linked this: https://fracturedmmo.com/last-week-for-pledge-packs/Despite this being about "pledges" i'm sure most people would still see it that buying a "founders pack" is still pledging to support a game in development regardless of how you word it.
Current pledge packs will be phased out and three founder packs will be added. The cost of access will be the same as current non-sale prices (€25 for Beta 2, €50 for Beta 1, €90 for Alpha 2), but the new packs will be less value-oriented (less Gold, VIP time, etc)
Original pledges should never change (this is just fair for those who supported the cause)
If you decrease the value of your current pledges over time, you should give ample warning (you did that)
If you increase the value of your current pledges over time, you should provide the difference to previous supporters to honor their support (you havn't done this)It might seem trivial, the difference in gold is never really that much after all. But it is things like this that will ultimately shape your company and what you will be remembered for.

Forgive me, what are you even complaining about? I don't see how people who are buying later are getting more than anyone who has bought before the original packs were removed. All the new packs get less stuff.
-
@islesofurth The old packs didn't get downgraded, they were simply retired and replaced by new offers. Nothing changed for those who have bought one of the old packs.
-
I'm not seeing it, what am I missing @islesofurth ?
-
OP thinks the new packs are better value for money then the origonal pledges?
They where packed with bonus cosmetics and gold characters slots vip carpenters bonuses.
Not sure wich bit you are unhappy about?
-
Lets try again.
I upgraded my "Original pledge" with a "Founders pack" giving me Legend with A2 access and 8,000Gold.
If you look at the "Founder Packs" you will find they have been updated. (most likely because Master to Legend just didn't seem worth it) So i should have 10,000Gold
@Specter At no point did i say the old packs were "downgraded". Nothing changed for those who purchased an older "Founders Pack" is the entire point of this post.
If this is how Dynamite studios really wants to move forward then i will say right now. I will not support Dynamite studios any more.
obviously i will still play the game, however i will not post bugs nor will i write reviews or guides & i certainly wont be buying cosmetics.
-
Oh, I understand where the misunderstanding is coming from now @islesofurth! We still haven't assigned the gold from the old packs
It was meant to be done last week but preparation for Gamescom messed our plans up - we'll do it this week for sure though!Edit: we also need to implement the page that shows what pledge you used to have and what you got from it - that we'll also do this week.
-
Thanks for clearing that up.
Little things like that have a way of snowballing if not handled quickly.
-
The real outcry is that packs were sold for 100 less during the going away sale, compared to what they were available at during the Kickstarter.

@Prometheus Thank you for the clarification.
In future please at least give a small mention about such things (like when you mention the new shop)
it would certainly avoid a lot of misguided anger, in particular as there is very little trust for games companies these days.

I trust these guys, they show a passion to its community and game, they personally answer questions and are open and honest.
If they make a mistake they hold there hands up and when there is issues with development they tell us.
They are not a faceless corporation that is gonna rip you off.

exactly, they act like CD Project Red. they are open and trustworthy
much apprieciate this this kind of game dev studios are very rare these days.

That was your opportunity to upgrade, the value was incredible.

Now that I can see my money, it's time to purchase the royal kitten!

So why didn't you buy something during the sale? It was the perfect time to upgrade your pledge.

@Xzoviac My Gold has been added to my account, so it should be there I believe.
