Give me BETA now, god damn it!

[Mod]

I was actually just reading through this when I came across this:

In addition, players can go the extra mile and subscribe to a membership, which allows them to earn resources from their faction’s success even when they’re not even online.

Hadn't heard that before...

[Magpie]

Sounds like a fair enough bonus for supporting the game without really being pay2win. But it does depend on some things, like how tight will we be with the resources, will we often struggle from not having enough? Will a subbers get resources while offline at 100% rate or at reduced rate?

Either way, I dont really mind, won't be pay2win in my books anyways. I support those who want to support a good product, this isn't a charity.

And yeah, seems also like a decent way for those who have jobs to keep up with the people who have too much time in their hands

Updated original article with that quote totally missed it.

[DayOne]

There are options to pay small amounts for temporary items like grenades and bonuses if you feel so inclined

I hope he just misinterpreted Higby on this one.

They didn't, he's referring to buying using ingame resources not money.

I assumed so but it could easily be read as meaning actual money. And grouping grenades with "bonuses" (something I associate with being bought with real money) makes it sound even more like you can buy grenades with real money.

yea, thats what beta is for!

but seriously the game looks like its ready to go into beta with the amount of weapons and stuff they have ingame, perhaps they;re still ironing out some physics and balance first, but with the UI looking rather shmick, it cant be too far off.
