We don't know how hard they've been working on the actual game. They have been involved with the community alot but it they lived up to their words we would have been playing months ago. My bitterness only increases when they tweet about how much fun they are having playing the game. But that's just me.

Personally I won't be putting in anything. If there was free outfit creation I would name mine, "Not Gonna Pay a Dime".

I'll probably buy a booster or two early on.

I am not very interested in XP boosters, but I could easily see myself buying some cosmetic items, or even a "side-grade" or two if it really enhanced my gameplay experience.

Mostly it comes down to whether or not I like the game enough to support it. Give me a good game, and I will be happy to support it (within my financial means, I am just a teacher, after all) if the game isn't super awesome, I won't throw much money at it.

I have 265 dollars worth of SC. If I need to buy more SC in less than a year, I'm going to reevaluate my expenditures.

The game is f2p. I think i will spend max. 10€ per mounth. i think xp boost and some weapons.

I've never been a big fan of boosters, but if I can get rid of that awful default VS medic helmet, I definitely will. It really depends on what's available, but since I don't plan on buying consumables, I don't expect to spend more than $50.

I actually have a bunch of station cash saved up and im planning on spending it on a bunch of camo's (ice camo) and different helmets. All the weapons and resources are more fun to earn through fighting. Either way probably an extra 35 bucks on launch.

Way do you buy SC you don't spend ASAP? Is not those 265 dollars doing better in your bank account then SOE's?

If they have a 'sub' deal where $10 or so (not more) gets you $15+ value every month in some way, I'd prolly go for that for a while :P

This is under the expectation of course that the game's as awesome as I hope, and I expect to play it for years to come.

Yeah, my bad. Didnt know better at the time, you are right. But at least the have promised (see Smeds blog entry) that no better weapons are available, only sidegrades.

What do you mean by sidegrads?

This is the only definition I know about that word.

noun

a marketing incentive aimed at persuading a consumer to switch to a competitor’s product: a competitive sidegrade to Canvas or CorelDraw

verb

switch to a competitive product: I’d prefer to sidegrade to Windows Media Player 10 at some point

And as far as I understand you can import weapons form some other game or use some mods to get other weapons or what ever...

Depends if they fix the bad scaling and UV'ing of the camo skins, and how worth it the other purchasable options are.

I will be supporting this game anyhow (and i know its beta) but i'm still waiting for them to change the low res, slapped on skins (such as zebra) from something that looks like a modder made it to a well intergrated camo pattern that looks like professional developers made it, and considered the skin for each vehicle/Armour set it would go on.

Because I try to only buy it when there is a double or triple SC day.

Gardamis · 2012-08-12, 10:22 AM

It depends for me, if I play it quite a bit and it's at least my number 2-3 played game, probably quite a bit, just strung out over time. Camo, certs, weapons, etc.

When people say sidegrades are they talking about the implants?
