People who Pre-Purchase Special edition Get skins from Reinforcement program? (Idea)

TheLorax152TheLorax152 Join Date: 2011-03-17 Member: 86953Members
Now I know this idea has probably been said hundreds of times, but still! I pre purchased the game like many others, and would desire only the decal and skins! I wouldn't like to pay an extra $75 dollars (Although I love this game to DEATH)! If anyone has anything to say, please say so in the comments. I appreciate all, if any feedback!

    What about someone who pre purchased AND already spent $75 dollars?

    Like I'm trying to say, it isn't hurting anyone. You're giving the skins to the select few people that pre-ordered special edition. No one gets hurt, we acquire desirable skins, win-win?

    It is hurting the guys who spent $75 dollars to get the skins but also prepurchased?!?
    Why would you get the same like others do after spending $75 dollars?

    You're not getting EVERYTHING their getting. They get the donator badge, the soundtrack, the Exclusive taunt, the Secret project access, etc. We would only get the skins.

    Nope!

    They made the program for a reason, to fund further development. It is very unfortunate if you don't love the game enough to support them.

    Actually, I do love the game enough to support them. Unfortunately though, I don't have much money, nor does the rest of my family. I'd appreciate if you actually thought about that comment before posting it. I hate when people assume I just have money to pull out of my ass. (Apologies for the rudeness, but still)

    I don't think they would make skin-only packages that cost less than the respective tiers that contain them at the moment. A lot of people (including myself) purchased these tiers only to get the cosmetic skins and would be upset if they were suddenly offered in a cheaper package (the tiers are non-refundable so there is no chance there).

    What about your black armor?
    I hadn't heard about NS2 early, so I didn't get my chance to pre-order. Can I get black armor? Nope.

    Ah well.

    Wouldn't it feel bad if someone could just buy black armor? I believe it is the same, I'd certainly feel bad.

    Like I said, it would be for people who Pre-purchased Special edition ONLY. No one else. Those select few. Read the posts.

    Thank you rantology!

    For me it's the same with the onos badge and the black armor...
    This stuff should be special to the people who have it.

    Despite i wish I would have been fast enough to get the black armor it would be much worse if we could get it now.
    Just not fair for the guys who actually prepurchased back then.

    And for the onos badge... Limited editions should stay limited, since that's the idea behind it...

    Try posting in the give-away thread if one1 would like to give away their skin-rewards. I am sure some people dont care for them anyway. I would but i activited the rewards already (tied to my account etc).

    The special edition people do not need further special treatment. The black armor skin is one of the highest demand skins out there and UWE will not give it to anyone else. This is already hugely special treatment considering most companies would make it paid DLC with such high demand. It's also very unusual to keep tacking on benefits to a one-time reward package like the special edition. It makes little sense, and makes people who were not able to get the special edition back when feel even worse/more upset about it.


    And again, people have already purchased the expensive tiers JUST to get the skins, a lot of us already had the special edition. So that issue would be no less of a problem.

    Well you didn't say that you couldn't afford it, you just said you wouldn't. My bad

    I guess you guys are right. :-/ Still I have ONE question.
    "The special edition people do not need further special treatment."
    When the hell did we get treatment?
  • XeZoXeZo Join Date: 2006-11-14 Member: 58597Members, Reinforced - Shadow
    Black armor is your special treatment, and eternal gratitude! Gotta have eternal gratitude! :)

    Like I said, there is high demand for the black armor by people who were unable to purchase the special edition way back when for whatever reason. Time and time again UWE gets asked "Can't you make the black armor available some other way?" and time and time again they say "No, we're sorry but the black armor was a one-time thing that only those who supported the game during alpha have access to". I'd say that's pretty special treatment.
    I hope not to be wrong, but NS2:SE was pre-alpha purchase (there were nothing to buy or play when SE was available).
    In alpha/beta you were able to buy only deluxe edition.

    Early engine test, pre-alpha and alpha access?
