Alternative For The Founder Packs

General Discussion
#1

I’ve thought about ways to make the founder packs interresting while sticking to the “soon” promised to the fans and this is what I think would be best (this idea is very inspired by what Grinding Gear Games did for their Path of Exile supporter packs):

Headstart:
$50 = 1 week
$30 = 4 days
$20 = 2 days

Rewards For Founding:
An exclusive pair of head wings/back wings or something like that OR footprints that leave an exclusive trail: Gold for $50, Silver for $30 and up, Copper for $20 and up. As long as it’s shiny, it will sell.

TP Reward:
The TP reward seems good to me if we include al the above, but you are free to raise the TP for each packs to make it more appealing to more people.

EXTRA: You could give an extra month of CBT to the founders, but should wipe before the head start. 3 months head start will make free players turn their back on the game and never look back, I promise you.

Either way, I’m buying the pack if I can for the simple reason that I can’t wait to play it anymore. Seee you in game hopefully!

Provided the cosmetics are simply that; cosmetics I’m 100% fine with a 1 week headstart. Gives those who wish to truly support IMC what they want; and it gives F2P players some competitiveness when it comes to the game. Since 1 week is -not- enough time to take complete control over the markets.

This is absolutely true (bolded) which is why most people I truly believe made an outcry over this.

no, it should be

50$= 3 months ( or less, if they change june 19 to earlier ) and the exclusive stuff
25$ = 3 months ( or less ) ano exclusive except the tp ( half of the amount of tp )
10$ = 3 months (or less) just the naked game, no exclusives or tp

Alternative? Make this game into p2p.
How about $15 for a month?

#5

no

/20 charactersssssssssss

3 months head start will kill the game. You should know that.

@tindcccd They said the game would be F2P for the longest time. This isn’t an option at this stage. Besides, most people are skeptical about their cash shop and won’t buy the game blindly so P2P might actually make them lose money over F2P

#7

i know, i want them to pull the june 14 to april 5 or sooner. but they obviously wont so yeah

#8

yes, better than forcing everyone who wants to play buy the extra crap

#9

Exactly. Most people want to be in competition with the rest but can’t or wont pay blindly towards the game. 3 months would completely remove that competition

#10

What I don’t get is why people are so bothered by the 3 months?

  1. It’s a different server all together, so economy-wise it’s fine
  2. Are you mad at Koreans because they can play and you can’t yet?
  3. You’re not paying so why should you get equal treatment as a paying user?
#11

yeah we dont need the crap, either a 5$ or less EA with no crap
or no EA

#12

that’s not work if their goal is to establish a stable economy before bots kick in like they said.

#13

Bots will establish when everyone gets to play anyway. You can’t stop botting period.

EDIT: Pay walls don’t stop bots either.

#14

whats more important, having no bots or having a majority loss on players

#15

holy ■■■■ $50 for one week

how about no

#16

players will be upset, but they will come back in 3 months…

#17

More like less players with bots or more players with bots. Every single games have bots. B2P or not.

#18

You seem to have missed the rest of the post. $50 for $50+ worth of TP, exclusive vanity items and a headstart which ultimately gives you a name reservation over the $30 and less players

EDIT: not to mention it’s a FOUNDER PACK which means you pay to support the game’s development

#19

I don’t really care about the exclusive items, and I’m not gonna pay $50 just to get one week.

also the people who pay less will be playing day one as well, just for not as long.

1 week headstart sounds far more reasonable than a 3 month headstart. 3 month imo, is too much

or they could just release the game at a FIXED date for every player but give them an option to purchase some kind of gift pack:

Example: ToS is released Open Beta in 22nd March for all players

During launch date, players have option to purchase “gift packs” or they can go completely F2P, their choice:
Free tier: No exclusive in game item/buff
Silver tier(or something similar): 2 or 3 Exclusive in-game items/buffs
Gold tier(or something similar): 4 or 5 exclusive in-game items/buffs

Idk, just some kind of suggestion
