Wrong Link Zoom

Edit:Sounds like a much better pricing structure hope you get more sales standard package at 9.99, sounds about right.

i hope you will lower the price soon... looks strange when the game costs more then the premium version.

also - from your pictures, there is no way to the those imba sparks without buying the premium pack
edit: ah, forget that, that picture is confusing

i think it's a great idea... it's a one time purchase  and it will allow for newer players to jump right into the game vs waiting 6 months to be effective @ anything i.e. indy or combat.  However, i don't agree with the strongest sparks in the game available only through real money.  300K ep is not pay to win but those sparks definitely give an advantage.

Mixed feelings about this. 
I would advocate for Azyrex's point for accelerated EP earning, not 100k+ bundles right off the bat.  We all know how poorly the first 40k goes with some new players, why compound that frustration?

If more income means the game gets more development and players online: then I'll concede my point.

I would like to see higher end sparks for non-$ purchase, maybe of very high Nic costs, rare-item trade in, and/or very high corp-reputation.  The current new sparks feel pay-to-win-ish.

Just an opinion.

Should have shared your opinions in the discussion thread we had regarding this. If you missed it then its your fault so get your panties out of a bunch.

Wtf are all you people *** about?  Most of you are 1.5 million EP accounts!!!  Who cares if someone can pilot a mech efficiently day one???  This is a step in the right direction to not have the same 45 people online.  Good job Avatar creations!

Do you think now would dramatically increase online... 2 times? And y, i bought IT.

$9.99, So you putting the game in the "under $10." thingy AND AND, it has positive ratings so it bumps it higher in relevance.  And if we get a *** SALE the game could literally be UNDER $5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So excuse me while I say this.  But go *** yourself.  If you want to sit in general chat with 5 people and *** about lack of content, while not actively participating in content on your own island.

Y! Maybe sold 1000... maybe 2000... but where there ppl? I see only little steamchart boost when sale... maybe 10-20 ppl.

Too much EP in bucnh they cant know how to use them wiesely - give to them by adding to daily EP gain at least

Sparks is helping your gameplay (pay to win) - remove

generally Ville is wrong, if we would have 10 000 player tomorrow, we will have 2000 next day and 2 weeks later we will face the same amount we have now, you know that. - reduced price wont help, just less money probably (think of the free to play aspect, if Perpetuum would free to play nothing would chnaged really.

Well, of course there will be bad side effects like, for example, the newbie with the pack will be able to pilot Mk2 heavy with average efficiency. Any reason to buy something lower than mk1 heavy?
But there isn't much players who'll buy the game and all the premium packs at the same time. In most cases people buy packs when they've know what to do with it, after hey've played some time and figured things out.
So i think, this change have much more advantages than side effects:

1) people wanted to try the game before buying, because price is too high to just try. Solved. A client more likely buy the game, and if he likes it, buy other stuff. If not... i don't think DEVs will have less proffit, but it's definitely better for playerbase. Although we still need other stuff like banners.

2) aren't you all wanted F2P with cash shop anyway? single-time packs with very good stuff is very common items in cash shops. And that's doesn't mean every newbie will buy this packs. Actually, such items are not exactly for newbies only.
It pretty same in all shops:

• limited packs with a lot of stuff, including unique for a decent price, like "starter pack", "ultimate pack", etc

• usual unlimited stuff like consumbles and boosters with standard price

• vanity stuff

Some games failed to strike a good balance with cash shop, though, turning it in payMore-to-win.

We should understand that for the game to survive, many things in marketing and pay model should change. Change is always a pain and risk, not olny for vets. Sooner or later, but it's inevidable. And a change in this blog is not ruining the game, so it's already good. If they'll make EP purchasable unlimited times then yes, it'll time to go, but so far it's a healthy direction, i think.

Yes, it will be like this only for a few days.
