No luck on 2X SC sales.

You can get either a 40% discount or an extra 1,000SC for any $15 prepaid cards.

So for those that had a bunch of Wal-mart cards in wait, you won't get the 4,000SC like in a 2X sale. Instead they should give 3,000SC. Still a better deal than paying online by 500SC for the same $15 cost.

(edit)
The 1,000SC for cards in on the 4th ONLY (12am PST - 11:59pm PST). You have 24 hours to turn them in or loose the extra SC.

Not as good as I was hoping... but I guess I'll get a fracmax... lol

Waited this long, I can wait some more.

I blame China.

40% off is a nice deal though.... /thinking/

bpostal · 2013-07-03, 10:02 PM

I bought some, it's better than no sale!

Yeah, I was hopping for a 3x, could be happy with a 2x.
It breaks my wallet, but I will buy 5.000 SC with 40% off. I would buy 10.000 with 2x.

So is the Extra 1000 SC for Walmart Cards is on top of the regular extra 500SC from walmart cards.

So therefore is 1500 extra SC?....or is it just Extra 1000SC with regular extra 500SC included?

Are they ever going to do 3x again?

The Wallmart by me only sells 1000sc cards, not the 1500. Is there any benefit?

Chewy · 2013-07-03, 11:41 PM

Wal-mart cards should give 3,000SC.

1,500 for the $15
500 for the Wal-mart promo
1,000 for the 4th deal as it is a $15 card.

It is "technically" 2X SC for just those cards. A better deal than online in any case as $15 online or in-game gives 2,500SC.

But SOE just had to make this event confusing for some fucking reason. No reason to have 2 sets of rules on crap like this. I thank them for the events but why must it be confusing when, to my limited SOE knowledge, every other event has been a flat 2X or 3X for everything or just a single payment option being changed.

(edit)
Badjuju-

The adds states $15 (1,500) cards only. $10 (1,000SC) and any other amount cards most likely will not get jack. The only reason I see for that only $15 cards get the deal is that an extra 1,000SC for $15 cards fits into the 40% discount. So any other card ($5, $10, $20, ect) is up shit creek if it's looking for a deal on the 4th. Only $15.

Yet again, why confuse this one so much?

If it were a 2x SC day then those cards would be worth 4000 SC instead of 3000 SC since the 500 bonus SC would also double. I cashed in 2 of those cards the last time there was a 3x sale and got 12000 SC for $30.

I'm pretty bummed since I have been saving several of those up hoping for a triple or at least a double sale

. I'll probably cash a couple in for now and save the rest for later.

Guess we're used to bigger sales, but I am underwhelmed with this.
My money's staying where it is for now.
Double XP is nice though.

Gatekeeper · 2013-07-04, 03:00 AM

W00t, another US-only promo. Thanks for that SOE.

Was hoping for a proper sale, as I'm pretty much out of SC, but I guess I'll wait then.

It's a pile of marketing crap. Consistency is one of the things that builds trust.
Moving it to 40% makes you feel like they want to use us as marketing lab rats to see what threshold causes us to open up our wallets.

They're not getting my money on this round and I highly suggest for players to do the same because if you do, 2x/3x SC will definitely become a day of the past.

The SC prices of their weapons and cosmetics are already ridiculous, especially compared to other games, so we need these 2x/3x days to give us a legitimate reason to spend money on this game. Why oh why are they too stupid to see that?

Canaris · 2013-07-04, 05:48 AM

just no pleasing some people, picked myself up some cheap SC and am happy. Though I do think if they have it from the US they should have it for the pro-sieben accounts too, not very fair.

Badjuju · 2013-07-04, 09:46 AM

Yea I was going to stock up on sc but I guess not. I refuse to by sc at regular price with how expensive cosmetic items are so I was really looking forward to this. Ill have to return all the cards I got from wall mart since the 1000sc cards are useless.
