Nexon, Beta and everything else

(.FROST.) #1

OK, this may be a redundant thread, since there are at least 3-4 threads concerning everything within and around the (closed-)Beta, and there must also be a couple threads concerning Nexon, but I can’t find the one where badman said what we are supposed to do in order to swap our stuff over.

I already registered myself at Nexon, but I don’t know what I’m supposed to do now; should I just wait, until we get a new download-client from badman? I just want to register my XT-Beta account as soon as possible, so I can choose “my” name, before anybody else picks it before me.

PS: Maybe about time to re-name the forums and stickies, since they still sport the good ol’ “DB”, or “Dirty Bomb” tag. Yet I’d suggest to leave some color in the top-pic, since the new “all yello, white and grey” is a bit “cold”. I mean, I understand, that it fits the whole CDA theme and I like the new logo-design and all, but you guys shouldn’t forget, that you, yourself, brought color back in the FPS genre, please don’t start to take it away gradualy. I may be overly pathetic, but it starts with logo decissions and finally ends up in ocre-colored, monochromatic, dusty, modern-warfare maps. People like colors, even in the FPS-genre; Tribes, Brink, Loadout, Borderlands, UT, Q3:Arena and Warsow are good examples for that.

I’m gonna STEAL your nickname! Arrrrrrrrrr

Arrrgh, you don’t dare:mad:

Yarrrr! Imma mighty Pirate!!
No just kiddin…

OT: They told us that we would get at least one day before beta (30/09/2013) early access. Which means that they will provide us with their migration tool before that date. So I’d say, just wait for it.

The Nexon system works with an email login, there is no nickname preservation. You can change your display name when you like. The forums will use your display name.

You need to create your Nexon account first, SD are working with Nexon on a migration tool (from my understanding). I don’t know how it’s going to work, maybe there will be some “Click to link your Warchest and Nexon accounts” or something.

Ah, thnx, since you’ve said it I can remember having read something like that. Migration tool, that works a100%? Doesn’t sound like an easy task, yet they are probably not working on that just since yesterday.

Found out that I already had a Nexon account for years. I remember that I tried to install Combat Arms once, but it failed, yesterday I tried it again and it didn’t work.

PS: Somehow Nexon gives me the feeling that it’s all about NX credit points (money). Just click on manage account and it will give you this list.

Account Setting (only e-mail setting no personal information)
Purchase NX (moneyzz)
Earn Free NX (moneyzz)
Find a Game Card (moneyzz)
Review Purchases (moneyzz)
NX Guide (guide about how to get moneyzz)

Let the milking begin!

Have the same feeling as Ruben0s. After creating my account, the first notification showed me were I can buy NX. I really dislike this approach. TBH, I’m really not interested in spending money for a company which wants your money that agressive. I hope SD didnt kill Extraction with the Nexon deal.

(Seanza) #10

Nexon’s forté is microtransactions, of course they will be pointing you to spend money wherever they can. This doesn’t put me off playing Extraction, though. This is SD’s game, just that I have to visit Nexon’s platform to play it (so what?).

(Kl3ppy) #11

Sure its no prob. But I personally prefer to see the games before the money part. Even when I make an account, my first way should be to the avi games and not to the money part.

(Mustang) #12

I think it’s as follows:

Account verification is done with email address only, we need to create an account ourselves.

In-game names can be changed whenever we like, I don’t think there will be any duplicate checking so multiple people could theoretically have the same name if they wish.

Forum should be up and we should have access one day before beta starts, by default it’ll use your current display name, no idea if we’ll be able to change these ad hoc.

(Ruben0s) #13

Oh god… I hope we will get this as well in Extraction.

1$ = 1000 NX

God please SD, don’t come up with bull**** like this, that you have to pay for weapons a day or a ridiculous price for a permanent unlock.

I wonder why they promote their game with slogans like 150 different weapons XD

I can’t even imagine that people pay for that ****.

70$ dollar for a outfit and something else (could be worth the money)

With LoL you only pay around 5 dollar a champion and they are easy to unlock for free. But if you have to pay 20$ average for stupid things, I can only imagine that it takes years to unlock them without paying.

(.FROST.) #14

Kind of had the same impression. They could’ve made that whole money thing a lot more subtle and would still get the same amount of money. I mean when you play “their” games you’ll notice anyways, where you can spent your money, there’s no need to shove it under people’s noses that aggressively, we are not stupid. Maybe a certain Moneypenny* reads this thread here and gets aware of the fact, that they are kinda over-doing it; but then again, I don’t think, that they’d give too much of the opinions of us few.

* the name somehow gets another meaning, the more I read it and think about Nexon. Like “your money, every last penny of it”. Not the best alias, when yo are in the F2P business :wink:

(Kl3ppy) #15

20$ for a permanent weapon? Even BF with premium is than cheaper (60€ BF4 + 50€ Premium)

(Ruben0s) #16

Yea it’s crazy, some of their games even have ingame food and the price they ask for it is more than food would cost in 3rd world countries.

(Kl3ppy) #17

haha I think you forgot how hard it is to get the food in the internet. You have to push it really hard to go in the cables :smiley:

No seriously, I dont hvae a good feeling about this partnership. Yes, SD says they stay in charge, but I have some doubts …

(n4ts) #18

That’s what I said right away. Nexon is milking it’s cows as often as possible and in as many ways as possible…

Maybe the game wont be pay-to-win… but getting spammed with ‘BUY THIS’ ‘BUY THAT’, would be the most annoying thing. And I think they’ll do that since it is in Nexon’s nature…

Also, the fact that they even DARE to ask $20 for a gun or skin or w/e is crazy… What are they thinking?
I’m playing LoL since beta and ever since I’ve bought lots of skins, not only the normal ones (price: 520 Riot Points), but also the legendary skins (price: 1820 RP).
1779 RP = €10,00
Which means that a legendary skin costs just over €10,00

That’s actually one of the most expansive things in the game.

So my point is, I’m willing to pay some money for character customization, xp boosts etc. but never a large amount of money. So make the micropayments MICRO…

Something I haven’t really considered, until now. But you’re right. Right now I have horrofic images of “buy this, buy that”-loading screens and limbo pop-ups in my head.

Dear God, don’t let that be happening. That’d be just as bad as P2W, but in a different way. Both will keep you from enjoying the game; the one more upfront and the other rather through the backdoor. I genuinely hope, that Nexon doesn’t spams itself into your awareness, once you’ve entered the game.

Nexon doesn’t design Extraction’s loading screens…
