Knights of Pen and Paper +1 Edition Standar or Deluxe Edition?

[AlexMitosis]

What does it includes? Does this extra material worth?
I've read game's description but it doesn't explain much details

It seems like the digital deluxe edition is like the Microtransactions in this game, pay to cheat. From the store page:

Digital Deluxe Edition
The Deluxe Edition of Knights of Pen & Paper includes the following bonus items:

Special Guest Character – A Yellow Wizard with passive MP +20
Farm Village Map – A new location that will allow players to farm experience efficiently. Also includes the exclusive Scarecrow monster!
Sci-fi Pack for Bedroom – This gives players 4 exclusive items to customize their “in-game, real-world room”
Treasure Chest with 800 Gold – in-game gold that helps any new player get a head start on their adventure

So no real extra content then, just some less grinding for more $$$. Disgusting attitude, who would play D&D with a corrupt DM who would boost your stats for cash?

On the flip side you get an extra character, farming is less painful I assume, and I'm betting it saves a lot of time early game.

I don't agree with microtransactions, but this seems more like DLC, and at $1.25, I've seen much much worse, and yet people tend not to complain if it's labled DLC. Example: ROME 2, Blood and Gore $3. I remember seeing "sound effects" being sold in a game as well.

DLC stands for Downloadable Content. I see no added content with this, just a extra powerful char that is in the game anyway. How is less painful farming not pay to cheat?

I guess it is, but it's not much different then pre-order bonus content, and I'd favor buying this then paying for gold directly.

How about not supporting a game that encourages you to spend real money to avoid actually playing the game? Sounds a bit messed up to me!

Well if you are time poor, what does it matter. Load of games do this. A recent one I played was Tomb Raider. There are about 4-5 skill DLCs you can purchase you can just get in game by playing.

You are spending real money by buying the game, what is a little more if you like the game.

Back ontopic, I got the standard edition, but was mightly tempted by the Deluxe edition. Probably the most appealing addition is the farm village map.

[SLAVA UKRAINI]

Why buy a game that wants me to pay more money after I buy it? If I want that there are plenty of mobile games, this is one of them. They shouldn't have just jacked up the price and kept the same business model for Steam. I don't want any MT in any of my games, period.

Comparing it to DLC in Tomb Raider is ridiculous, this is just spending money for ingame money. Pay to cheat. In Tomb Raider the DLC is mostly useless items, skins or multiplayer maps that don't actually help you play the game at all.

I'll stick to standar then.

Please Zigi, i've read many threads in the past hours and you keep repeating the same arguments. We're no debating about if micro transactions are fair or not. I don't like'em either so i wont pay'em, Deluxe is a microtransaction in disguise, so i won't buy it.

BUT I like game mechanichs and retro-pixels aesthetics, also i like pen and paper RPGs, so i'll buy the standar ed.

This thread was just to kow the differences between Standar and deluxe option

[SLAVA UKRAINI]

In that case you are supporting this horrible practice and it will only become worse. You can look forward to many more games with microtransactions in the future for not caring about this.

[AlexMitosis]

I won't buy games whose MT really interfere in gaming experience, this isn't one of those.
I've already buy & played the game. It's really funny and its very easy to earn gold, so ingame MT are absolutely unnecesary, those are there for way too lazy players.

It's true, MT are useless in this game. You play perfectly withwout them, in fact the game is designed to be played without them! So... don't use them and just play, if you wanna!

[SLAVA UKRAINI]

Again (for the 1000th time) if it was't necessary in the PC version they should have removed it. They didn't. That makes this a no buy unless you want to support microtransactions and welcome them in your future games. And you can bet they WILL start affecting the gameplay just as in Forza.

[AlexMitosis]

OK

If you're going to buy the game at all, I'd suggest just grabbing the Deluxe.. just be nice if there was a way to turn off the 800 gold at the start of games in the deluxe version.

Obviously people like Zigi, who are so caught up in their crusade against MT games that they can't get an objective response, are going to tell you to not buy the game at all. However, if you like the look of the game enough to buy it, an extra $1.25 isn't going to hurt the bank. :)

[SLAVA UKRAINI]

The deluxe version gives you basically the same as microtransactions in game, which you can get with just a cheat for this game. So you are REALLY wasting your money if you buy the deluxe version, just use a cheat instead.
