3. regular accounts linked to steam need to buy the premium packs from where? (especially if several accounts are linked)

I'm curious about this too. I have multiple accounts linked to a single steam account. Bought one set of packs on steam on they went to the first account I linked to steam. No idea how to get it for a second linked perp account.

1. Open a ticket asking to disconnect your account from Steam.
2. Buy and redeem DLC codes.
3. Reconnect your account back to Steam.

Well played. big_smile

Back to life!

I am now able to accept new applications. Feel free to park your industrial alt to get access to most Prototypes.
PM me once you've applied.

I think the drop rate relation between MK2 CTs and cortex is out of place.
Statistically the ratio of one Light 100p Mk2 CT to light cortex should be 1:33 to keep things in balance.

As of now we get way more CTs than we can ever use with the possible cortex supply (including SAP drops).
So either increase cortex drop rate or reduce Mk2 drop rate.

Also why the hell are industry bot CTs so common?

I urgently suggest you allow those players who are now in negative EP to downgrade some extensions to get back to at least +2000 EP without speding credits or reimburse credits needed for do this.

I hear a lot complaints of new players who spend their EP in a not ideal way and need now to wait for several month to spend the the next EP right.

If you have spend your EP in wrong way and need now say 1000-2000 EP to correct this by adding a necessary extension to have the fit working, you don't wait 2 months playing active. A player new in game will not even wait 5 days.

This. You can't afford to drive new players away for such a stupid mistake, which was obviously on your end.

I swear the Devs are in Inda's corp.  With the number a re-dos on that Ethos base, you gotta wonder at this point.

Sounds totally plausible. I imagine the conversation went this way: http://i.imgur.com/F5u5ad0.jpg

i had some issues with chassis scanner after refitting via field terminal

Scanning SAP times after equipping geoscanner at a field terminal didn't show any results. Worked after docking/undocking.

New player here.  My $.02.  Because of the new premium packages I am now going to focus my full attention on Perpetuum.  I beta tested this game back in the day but never committed to it.  I went to go play with steve.  Steve became a job and not much fun.  Things changed with Steve and I became bitter with it.  So forward a few years later I see the sale for Perpetuum.  I get it and see that the population is really low and full of giant EP vets.  I think why would I spend years to get up to the point where I can have fun in the good mechs and not get steam rolled by the vets?  I have a high skill point toon with steve.  But then I meet Ville, who tells me about the new packs.  I decide to go buy the dlc packs and bam!  Steve is history.  In one hour I was back to having fun again and able to play along with new friends all because of the new dlc packs.  I have a ton to learn but here's the point.  I want to learn and play this game now and I feel I am now able to.  So thank you.

Really good read. See you on the battlefield!

\o/ promise it's not an alt!

Confirming that Soterion is a legit new player, as he reviewed the game on Steam recently.

Recently I had similar issue with some scan results not showing up. Turns out the Perpetuum.exe in my alts Steam copy wasn't up to date. So if you have multiple Steam installations, make sure to keep your Perpetuum.exe updated manually by copying from your main Steam folder, in all of them.

I was travelling on a Pelistal island lately and while i was enjoying the beautiful sky and sniffeling at the local flowers i came across a teleport anomaly. Blinded and disturbed by its emissions i left its area of effect to get instantly locked by 2 superior observers at 400m distance. Trying to run away at 130 kph in a straight line was doomed to fail - they were still closing in and ... i don't want to talk about what happened next roll.

I too was violated.

And as for the sparks, there were some posts about the old sparks being too weak and not influencing much. We'll do some balancing there soon, so the new ones won't stand out this much.

Good *** job guys. No way is this p2win in any way, being a one time deal.
