    Does the trello board show how well the new deals have gone?

    Not going to the trello on a topic that is closely related to this thread.

    Edit - just went there. I didn't see anything about how well this new sale went. I did find some funny things that are on the back burner, though. Hope those don't get fixed.

    What are you talking about? The Reinforcement pack that was discussed in this thread isn't available yet. If you look on the Trello under the Done category, it's clear that things are being worked on in relation to it.

    I must have misunderstood - was just asking how the money-raising was going. Not asking what is going to come out of it. My bad. Was just a friendly question. I won't ask again.

    Edit - didnt realize the proposed idea wasn't in effect.

    I think the Shadow tier will stay open but all levels below it will no longer be available, this seems to be a happy compromise to what everybody wants.

    If you missed the sales, I assume there will be more during the holidays. Still have today to buy it, though!

    Somehow I've lost my shadow skins ingame, sometime the last year or so. Didn't have time to play so didn't notice exactly when I lost them - what do I do to get my lovely shadow gorge skin again?

    Check if the dlc is activated if you right-click at ns2 -> properties -> dlcs .

    If you are missing the dlc go to https://www.humblebundle.com/home and log in with the email you bought the reinforcement pack with. And look for the dlc skin codes.

    If those don't work anymore please contact first the steam support and then the humble bundle support.

    In-game have a look at the customize menu ;)

    Is the "deluxe dlc" the right dlc in steam?

    Can't find dlc skin codes on the humble bundle page with the email I bought ns2 with.

    Deluxe is something different alltogether, and is entirely unrelated to the reinforcement program, if that's what your asking.

    I think it is the only option that shows up on his Steam. But the Forum badges allow us to confirm that you get the said badge you're looking for. That's very weird.

    I had shadow skulk and gorge last xmas, then in january I stopped playing and since then they disappeared. :(

    Shadow skulk was selected when I entered the customization menu a few days ago, and after switching to regular skulk I couldn't select shadow again.

    And what about the armors provided with the shadow pack? Do they work?

    Sorry @Jzono1, You have to upgrade to the latest REAPER class In order to use your SHADOW class Skins.
    #AAA.

    Armors used to work, but don't anymore.

    Edit:

    Okay, getting reaper solved everything.
    Found a hidden link in my humble bundle page that revealed a few more keys that I didn't see before, all but one were activated already on my account, and the new one was the dlc with the cosmetics.

    You can't get any of the reinforcement tiers anymore! The program has been finally shut down as announced at the beginning of last month.

    I feel very late to the party to join this discussion, but honestly, I want to bring my own thoughts and feelings to the mix.

    Once upon a time I used to be an avid fan of the original NS1 mod. The concept was absolute genius, it was fresh, I loved the setting and the world. The gameplay and teamwork was even better, and I enjoy playing as a commander every chance I get.

    During the development of Natural Selection 2, I had enormous hopes for the game and I wanted to find ways to support it. However, there was very little I could do other than the word of mouth, since I was out of a job around that period. I couldn't support the game in time to snag the black armor, and while bummed to miss out on a chance to say "I was there in the very beginning, and I've got this thing to prove it," ultimately I cared more about the game's release and popularity in the long run. I even went so far out of my way as to pick up 10 copies of the game that I gave to friends.

    Then came the Reinforcement Program. I felt this was a second chance to try and support the game, except do far more. However, there were continued difficulties with finances. I had planned for a while to donate the Shadow Pack, and I wanted to make sure I could allot that kind of money since I wasn't sure if there could be an incremental purchase (buy a low pack first, then pitch in to a higher value).

    Then tonight was the night I was able to pitch in what I originally wanted to give. Unfortunately, I realize too late that the Reinforcement Program has come to a close, and I missed my chance yet again to give Natural Selection 2 more meaningful support.

    I wish I could request that the program could come back, maybe in a way that could get more traffic, but I understand the reasons behind it. While I'm disappointed to miss out on cool stuff, and really pitch in something toward NS2, perhaps my favorite multiplayer game I've ever played, I hope adding to this conversation and continuing to show my love and gratitude for keeping the game going might be enough.

    There are still lots of us who were unable to afford anything under the Reinforcement program, who are now in a better situation... I landed on this page looking to purchase one of the reinforcement packs today.. :( - as a Previous Constellation member, and pre-orderer of NS2 (with Black Armour etc) - I wanted to add to my collection of badges, and in-game items!

    I MAY still purchase one of the packs from steam, depending on the items in them, but I feel that going via steam takes some of the funds used away from UnknownWorlds - as steam always takes a cut...
