ARMAS Sales?! YAY!

[Mythion]

That's awesome! I can't wait to buy the things that are currently 50% off, which I bought EARLIER TODAY.

It doesn't bother me as much because of the rebate... but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ G1!
Even a hint, even the slightest one would have been nice, I can already guess at least a few people feel kind of empty after that bomb.

It wouldn't be so bad if it was say a few weeks out, but still.

The first thing I see is 50% off the Key To The City pack, which was regretably one of my before-50%-off-by-a-few-hours (no, not days, Caay) purchase.

You mean a hint like this one?

Gotta stay on top of the main forums. The dev tracker is also very useful:

I bought my pack before that was posted so... do I need a crystal ball?

So by "earlier today" you actually meant "yesterday". I see. One of those nothing-is-ever-good-enough people. If you're so hung up on buying things on sale you shouldn't have bought something when it wasn't on sale. *shrug*

You're completely missing the point, I'm not hung up on anything, it's the simple fact that the sale hit pretty much straight after.
I bought the pack because of the rebate for G1C, had I of known that there would then be a sale? I wouldn't have bought it at the time, which, again, is within the 24 hour period... you know, less than a day.

I've bought plenty of stuff outside of sales with APB, very little inside because of not playing for a while, but the biggest wallet hitting pack I decided to get, because again, the G1C rebate.

It wouldn't bother me so much if it was a month early, but not even a day? Come on...
You're also forgetting about time zones. it wasn't "yesterday" here at the time.

For the record, not everyone follows the forum outside of APB discussions within Steam either, so for those who bought stuff because of the rebates, then suddenly sales hit which they probably spent G1C already because of the rebate? It's kind of a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing, but I guess it makes money on people who don't expect it.

Don't lump me in with "nothing is ever good enough" either, I've never once said anything about any other thing within APB or any other game.
For the most part like I said, I've bought stuff elsewhere, in and out of sales, investing a good amount of money into APB because I enjoy it, just as much as others probably have.

It's again, just kind of sucky that it's the most expensive thing I've bought in APB and it's up for 50% off which I would have saved 2400 G1C on, I could justify that kind of response on something I bought a week+ ago, but 24 hours?

It's essentially like someone putting a sign outside the shop while you're inside buying the very thing that's about to go on sale.

Really, because of the rebate I wasn't expecting any kind of sale, so I bought it and yes, I'm happy with it, don't get me wrong, I just feel sort of screwed in a way because of how soon it hit.

APB sales are all over the place. With the way they do promotions, they screw over a lot of buyers. I say just take what you know about them and stick to buying things right before the sale is over. You'll likely get better discounts.

I didn't give into the 35% rebate until today for the hourly sales + double loyalty.
