Kickstarter-exclusive class

[Cookie]

Greetings! I wonder how the game will know if I am eligible for this class? What about GoG version in offline mode? Thanks!

The class is a reskin so it shouldn't matter. It's probably one of the backer heroes, you can look into the guide section for them.

I know that this class (musketeer) is only a reskin. Still, that's a good question.

I've been wondering this too, I don't think it would feel like much of a reward worthy of paying an extra $20 for to get a reskin that everyone can get by just typing in a name like with the backer heroes. I assumed it would be something that only the people that actually paid for it could get it.

I'm assuming all eligible kickstarter backers will be given unique keys for a Muskateer DLC. That's how these kind of rewards are usually distributed.

Could a dev elaborate on this topic? That would be great!

At this point I would just love to see what the Musketeer is going to look like. I would hope that this exclusive class would maybe get at least 1 different skill the arbalist doesn't have.

It won't. From what I understand, the Musketeer's skills will have new names/icons, but will mechanically be identical to the Arbalest.

It's the problem with digital products and kickstarter rewards. If it's something more than a skin people get really mad if they can't use them and while not a big deal in a single player only game like this one when you get into multiplayer it becomes a balance issue .Also in a game without always on DRM if it's in the code you can unlock it and theres basically nothing the devs can do to prevent that. the only option really would be to set up a private download for all the kickstarter backers with different code then the steam/GoG version and even then theres a pretty good chance someone would leak it.

I'd actually be bummed out to completely lose a unique class because I missed the KS. A new class means new builds, new trinkets, dialog, etc, even as bare-ones as DD guys get. In my case I didn't even hear about DD until it was in early access, and then there's people that will not have known about it until it was released.

I'm of a mind that these sorts of exclusives should be discounted or free to those backers, and made availabe at a later date (and this is beyond KSs too), but knowing that it is just a skin means that I'm not missing a part of gameplay for not backing/being aware of it soon enough.

Indeed. Another great game that suffered from same kind of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is The Banner Saga. There you received an EXCLUSIVE CHARACTER for pre-ordering. He was never made available for anyone even as a DLC.

is this available yet?
