Let's talk about What Why and How

Ok everyone put you furious aside at least for now. :sweat_smile:

This is just only my theories so don’t mind it too much alright? :kissing:

What just happen?

It’s happen that IMC plan to have OBT at first but change the plan to a very f*cking long early access instead. I think they must have a serious argument inside of the dev-team about what they going to do, so that why we had 3 whole weeks of SOON :tm:
And what we got now is the result.

Everyone maybe didn’t notice this but they didn’t sell 3 months early access with the price of $50.
What they actually do is they want you to purchase 600TP $50 in advance with 3 months of early access as a bonus.

Why they’re doing this?

It’s have to be a reason, a serious one. What I can guess is their game is need another 3 months in development to at least can be called a finished product, but they need money to keep the development still running, so this $50 advance paid with 3 months early access is the solution they come up with.

How can they do to solve / reduce all of this mess.

Adding the invitation code for founder to invite their friend to the game for free is my recommend.

but there’re still many other way to make this better.

What do you guy think? What IMC can do to save this game? :neutral_face:

If they insist on restricting access to the game for three months, they should have another way to play that doesn’t force you into buying TP. A cheaper option or hell, just launching with the Open Beta would have been fine. It’s a beta, we know it’s going to be buggy. By putting up a paywall it’s only dividing the community and creating tons of worry.

I believe they should just launch the game. It’s clearly ready for players, as they believe they can charge $50.00 USD for it in its current state. Maybe the servers aren’t ready for everyone? Then push it back. There is no logical sense to having such a huge head start.

agree its just all about buying TP with EA bonus but 3 month is to long even im the one that will buy this EA //dont want a ghost town

You SHOULD let it be a ghost town, lol. They’ll just keep bending the community over and over, if you let them.

It is sad that the paying customers have the control now, but they’re not using it at all, instead are just letting them do whatever they want with your game, a game that you want to be good, for you.

It’s their voice that matters now, and they’re just going along with it, the most bullshit deal of the…year? decade? Can’t tell.

I’m sure this idea of 3 months founder thingy is come from a higher-up person in the company that have no idea how the game developmen work.

You’ve made quite a few good comments in other posts too. All have been rather rational. Wanted to say thanks for that in advance.

I agree with the founder pack being bullocks when really its a huge TP buy. If the value was the product, make it so, instead of in-game currency. They could of made a $10-$20 dollar buy for just the 3 months. Then tier upward if they needed money and wanted to reward their valued and possibly much needed consumers.

@maruthontour - There were actually quite a few forum posts practically begging for founder packs. While a higher-up definitely made the decision, it wasn’t like it was completely out of the blue I feel.

What bothers me the most is the lack of communication and distrust in us as a community. There is also so many more options they could choose.

  • They could release the game and add multiple leveled “Founder packs” with different benefits such as titles etc etc for $5 - $100.

  • They could start a Patreon to receive donations monthly for those who genuinely want to support the game. (Still give them in-game benefits like titles etc etc)

  • They could place a survey section for people to complete surveys for a founder pack.

They could literally add all those above to increase income and player base. It’s more money, more players and more chances for us to find bugs.

It’s a beta after all, right?
