Hi everyone, i am thinking about throwing 75$ on the Reinforcement Program, but i honestly would rather get the 40$ (and lower) armor decal instead of the "Shadow" tier one. Does Shadow include that one too? (because the page doesnt seems to indicate that).

It might seem minor but that is essentially what will decide if i will go Shadow or Diamond tier.

    The Shadow Tier does not have the Decal shown in the Gold/Diamond Tiers

    The devs may add the option for shadow badge owner to switch Decals (but thats a big maybe)

    Nazo, in your opinion what are the chances of that happening? i know they added the option change armors, so maybe the same will happen with the decals?

    I would hate to donate to Diamond Tier and later discover that i could just have just bought the Shadow Tier and get the same decal (in all seriousness, the Shadow Tier decal is just ugly IMO)

    I actually forgot there even were decals. I notice when people have different armor types but never have I even looked at the decal in game.

    You definitely notice the armour way more than you notice the decal.

    Hi guys - The Shadow Tier and up includes the 'Elite Reinforced Shoulder Pad,' (with blood), the tiers below include the 'Reinforced Shoulder Pad' (brighter, without blood). The Shadow Tier and up does not include pad from the lower tiers. We won't be adding the lower tier pad to the higher tiers at any point.

    @Br4zil I really appreciat you considering a Shadow Tier purchase!

    Hmmm, I have shadow tier, and it gives me the option to switch between both "reinforced" and "shadow" shoulder pads, or no pads at all.

    I think when this thread was originally made you could only have one badge (the ability to swap only recently added with the NS2WC badge pack(s))

    shadow skin is the bomb. Mind you playing in Australia, its depressing when most of the opposing team has a badge (played and donated), while your team consists of no badgers (doesn't mean they are bad, but chances are...)

    Heh, re: playing in AUS - it is brutally good practice in terms of PUB playing to play locally before venturing over to USA servers, even one round in Australasia can set you up for a night of slaughter. They are just, on average, that damned good.

    as someone usually at the receiving end of a lmg or bite, I concur. I fare much better on the NA servers in terms of K/D compared to Aus servers.
