Hi All,

 

I know I may be in the minority here with this opinion, but I'd like to make suggestion to HCS to make the Steam package items bound. I know that the original founder items were not, but we all started the game with some knowledge of what was going on (gold and ep situation). However, many of the new players who might be starting on Steam will not know what the situation is with EP or Gold. I'm afraid these new players may be taken advantage of with big numbers of gold being thrown at them for their backpacks, mounts and vanity. Heck, if I had seen 500G offer or even a 1,000G offer for something when I started the game, I'd probably have really considered it. I'd have been extremely disappointed when I found out that I had been bamboozled after I had learned what value gold really has in the game. 

 

I'm afraid that people are going to end up quitting if they are taken advantage of, which then results in negative review, which then results in even less people starting to play. 

 

Thanks,

 

Kedyn

I get your point, but that leaves me with no chance to get these items as I refuse to use steam so Im really against this. At least make it avaiable for anyone to buy then, just not steam users

Wiiv: 

 

I completely understand the idea of not being able to purchase, or choosing not to purchase from Steam, which leaves players who do not trust the engine or company out in the cold. Hopefully, HCS will create some type of pack (outside of the starter pack for $19.99, which I still haven't purchased) to go within the normal store maybe for a limited time to help those who do not want to purchase through Steam. However, I find the items offered in the Steam pack to be very much like the founder packs, which in essence were unbound until equipped, but we all had the knowledge at that point to differentiate between a good/bad deal. 

 

SD:

Or a summary from Mojawk

 

The pack will likely be on sale for $9.99 and the exact contents are as follows : 

  • 1 Steam Backpack (64 slots)
  • 1 Backpack Slot Unlock
  • 2 Mega Experience Potions (+100% xp for 2 hours)
  • Jitterbug Mount (Account Wide)
  • Level 1 Riding Training
  • Steam Samurai Vanity Set

Note : You will only be able to purchase 1 pack as it's marked as exclusive DLC (downloadable content) within steam.

 
 
Zorg has mentioned that these items are currently bound to the account, which I believe is good for the overall community. As much as I'd like to see my backpack collection blossom, I'd much rather see the success of the game.

Everything in the pack will be account bound bar the 2 potions. Hope this clears up any confusion.

Agree here too, it will be $$$ for HCS if they allowed people to buy "steam launch" packs in the cash shop in game without need for steam, limited to one per account still.... if possible.

I like the idea for sure - it would be up to HCS, but I don't see any down-side except that it could possibly show less sales/hits on Steam. 

 

And thank you Mojawk for confirming! Sounds like you guys put some thought into it. I like the decision and thanks for the time.
