Worth It?


(Ruinz) #1

Hi

I’m looking for some answers if its worth buying the package for 120 dollars.

First of all it would be great to support splashdamage.

Is sufficient playing going on? Im open to search bugs but i would also enjoy to play a lot with other people!
How many progress resets will occur?

Greetings to all!

get the least expensive pack, that will give you access to the videos, then decide if you want to upgrade

He Nail, thanks for your answer, i will instabuy it if someone can confirm that there is a daily sufficient players to play the game :slight_smile:

Honest answer would be no. After each new update, there is generally a full server, or at least enough players around to play. Once peeps have checked it out, it seems to dip back off. Game is still in the early alpha stages, and more for testing and tweaking, then for playing. If you are looking to be able to jump in and play regularly, then at this stage I would advise against buying. Perhaps when it gets to the closed beta stage in a year or so.

Does that mean that alot of time you will play on empty servers? Because im also on the brink of buying the legendary package after seeing the alpha videos. Offcourse i know its alpha and im aware of the problems this comes with (playing alot of alphas in my life ^^)
But i really want to help make this game good, i want to be able to play on regulare bases and give feedback on my experience. But with what you saying im afraid now that when i want to play, i will be dissapointed when i will see that nobody plays.

A large chunk of the fanbase is based in Europe.
Where are you from?


(Vulpturius) #7

EU - Belgium

Then you won’t have problems playing with people on evenings.
Rest of the time it might be a bit more difficult but there are often players end of the afternoon and always in the evenings.

Well good luck to you then. Your wanting to “play on a regular basis” with the “Then you won’t have problems playing with people on evenings.” simply doesn’t jive with what I have seen. I check frequently. At most I see a few players on a single EU server at times, but for the most part the servers sit empty.

I am located on the east coast of the USA. So the time difference between us is a few hours. I would love to be able to play on a regular basis myself. Hell I have no issues with playing on EU servers, since I am actually close enough to get a playable ping. My ping is generally around 140ish on the EU servers, which is not bad at all. I have had alpha access for about 6 weeks now, and have yet to play a single round. The one time I saw some players on an EU server, the server was almost full. I was quite excited, went to get a drink, came back a few minutes later, server was completely empty. No idea why, or what happened, it was just empty. A couple of other times, I saw servers, with players, that were filled to capacity, and no way to get on. Server slots IMO are rather small atm, can’t really divulge more then that.

So take my feedback for what you will. If you’re lucky enough to get to play regularly, then more power to you and I will envy you. This has not been the case for me. I have gotten to run around the different maps and check things out. I can tell you this game has TREMENDOUS potential. It is also still very early in development though, and I can not emphasize that fact enough.

That is probably the best advice right there!

And for those of you that have access, and wish to send me negative comments because I am here answering truthfully and honestly, screw you. And you know who you are. I only wish someone had been as blunt and honest to me, before I dropped $120 on this free game. It would have helped me make a much more informed decision. Yea, I probably would have still sent them quite a chunk of money, perhaps a year from now. If you like, you’re more then welcome to refute my claims here in public, which I have yet to see done.

well, most of us honour the NDA


(1-800-NOTHING) #11

hmm, are you sure about that? i can’t find any confirmation that the veteran pack gives you access to any of that. (neither in the db store or the faq).
seems to me like you need access to vip forums for that, which in turn requires a redeemed closed alpha key?

Edit: ah, thx :slight_smile:


(Nail) #12

all packs have access to development videos, pm badman if you’ve purchased a pack and don’t have access


(Seanza) #13

As a European player, you won’t have an issue. A lot of people have paid the $120 pack and have been really happy with their purchase. I also echo the advice for you to get the cheapest pack and then upgrade so you can be sure!


(MrFunkyFunk) #14

My reply is an honest one and there’s no refuting to be done.
He is from Belgium and as an EU player he’ll have no issues playing each day (at the very least each evening), we have a solid playerbase and a growing community (voice com; planned activities; etc).

I’m sorry for the american counterparts but once again:


(AntOO14) #15

What funk said is true, as a european you can almost play each evening.

You’re Welcome

Im really curious about this game, i opted in for founder pack to get access to the clips, but get this error: “you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons”. Sadly badman seems to have taken the week completely off, so i guess i got to wait til Monday.

About the t-shirt, how is that resolved? Do they pay for shipping?

I would imagine so, but this is a long way off and nothing is confirmed. i.e. The t-shirts will be shipped near to release.


(Nail) #19

I believe your payment covers your shipping cost, at this moment payment only allows you video update access

I tried with a new browser too, still errors with no permission.

If only i could see some more footage, i might pump some more into it…
