Funcom Made a Massive Mistake

[Jab]

Having 5 days early access for $20 is a huge mistake. I won't be buying at all because of this even though the game looks like it would be fun and I enjoyed their other game Conan Exiles. It's pure p2w in a PvP game, if you don't start early you will be at a huge disadvantage. I think on there end it is an arbitrary date so it's just free money, but they have no way of telling how much they are losing from people like me who won't buy it at all now. Btw it's not about the money I can afford it. It's about the principle. Maybe I am in the minority but that's how I see it.

There is no real advantage. After 10 days its all watered out.

Whats next, someone can play more time than you? Time limit for everyone. 1 hour per day only.

Also everyone starting on Jun 5 will be in their own worlds, on Jun 10 new worlds will be created for those joining there. And it is purely optional to still try and join a Jun 5 world.

Don't worry, there will be new servers for the 10th, so players who played on the 5th won't have a head start unless you play on those servers.

Can everyone stop playing when I'm sleeping or at work please, don't want the game to be unfair.

1. Regular start will have it's own servers so the early start doesn't concern you.
2. Even if the early start servers are not completely full and you manage to somehow make a character there, these 5 days difference will get

pretty quick.

If you want to be super nitpicky and you still want a reason to complain here's one. There will be people like me, who will play the 5 day early start and then start on the regular start servers because of their cheap friends, but with a 5 day knowledge, a full squad and in my specific case, an awful lot of free time.

Sounds like you got it figured out. Don't buy it, don't play it. No one who is going to play it will miss you. Bless your heart.

$20 is a KFC meal with a beer - or two.

What makes me worry is how the devs were incapable to provide beta access to the people who had pre-ordered the game and had to spread beta-testers into multiple waves with me getting access 48 hours after the beta start.

Apparently they are not ready to handles all the players at once and the first couple days will be just a stress-test for their limited servers, at the cost of nerves of those who had paid extra exactly to get into the queue - apologies, into the game - a day or five early

[alan0n]

Yea, still not a big fan of selling early access... buuuuuuut this is probably the best way to do it if your dead set on milking a couple extra bucks out of your fans.

[fox]

HUGe disadvantage

better slap a tariff on funcom

[Æsir]

Yet it gets a season pass that'll cost $20 anyway, along with preorder bonuses... Yeah... let's just ignore key details and cherry-pick data to show how fair and balanced your argument is.

[Caduryn]

So.... if there would be NO early access and i would buy the Game 10 Days later....


You see the Point?

Absolute LOL Topic

[Æsir]

I guess with OP's logic if they jump into WoW for the first time today then... "game is p2w!" 🤣🤣

[crzyfsh123]

Pay the twenty bucks then instead of crying.
