Preorder bonuses FOMO

[Rattenkönig12]

So are the preorder armor sets going to eventually be added for everyone in the superstore or added to the Super Citizen upgrade or are they going to stay as FOMO items that the devs said wouldn't be a thing in the game? This is not intended to be inflammatory just a genuine gripe about the devs not following through with their word.

Thoughts?

The players that had faith/interest enough in the game to pre-order should be rewarded and in turn, would need to be compensated if AH moved the goalposts on those pre-order bonuses, and gave them to eveyone. You had your chance, get over it

There is no harm in adding a different avenue to acquire them after a certain amount of time like a year or so.

There is 100% harm, AH would have totally mis-sold a product. The people that pre-ordered did so in good faith and deserve their reward. You missed out, nothing more to say.

Well you already have the base armor set which is the same as the yoghurt armor but a different color and the two others are in the Helldivers mobilise warbond both in a different color

I'm aware of this but i like the colors on the preorder stuff better.

Well in this situation with the amount available in game. Tough luck I guess find an armor set you like that you can actually get. It was pre order and honestly it wasn’t as bad as a lot of games make their pre orders

Angry over missing out on collectibles with no significant advantage whatsoever?

That's full blown Beanie Baby Disease.

To all the people who try and defend FOMO for these items by saying 'well you had a chance to get it' No, no I didn't, I'm not terminally online looking at every studio that made a game I like to see what their next game is, or if there will be another from them. I shouldn't be locked out of content because I just didn't know it existed until after it was unavailable, because I'm not glued to the internet and don't know every little thing I could possibly squeeze out of it.

I REALLY want the yogurt armor. I like blue and white. Let me have the option to aquire it in some way post launch. Simple as.

The blue armor looks rad, not gonna lie.

prob not

I have D3 collector wings that you could only get with physical edition of Diablo 3, for 10+ years they never released it via unlockable content, purchase, make it as an achievements ........nothing

Do not hold your breath with this

b) no one except cursed collectors really care

and by the end of the day, it is a matter of choice whether to preorder/watch stream for optional items or not. They are and they will always be optional without actual impact to the game.

Still doesn't change the fact that the items were FOMO

You had a huge window of opportunity to purchase them. You chose not to do so. If you actually had a fear of missing out, maybe you would have bought them knowing that they were only for sale for a limited time? If you were not aware, then you don't have fear of missing out, because you already did. That feeling would be called regret. You ok buddy?

This is one of those times where I am on the winning side having purchased a pre order steam key on release day.

I have been burned by pre order bonuses that I was never able to acquire so many times and I have wasted money buying a bad game early just to get the pre order bonus.

Sometimes if I want a game that has been out I will google it and if it had a good pre order bonus that I missed I wont even buy the game.

Unless the industry plans to change as a whole I don't see why people should be given a free pass here. Sometimes you just cannot collect all of it. There are playstation exclusives that none of us will get as well right? I thought there was anyway.

Blue armor is cool, but I enjoy the green goblin theme I'm going for. I like that quite a bit, to the point where I feel special because of my own creative adaptation of what is visually already in the game. Try it bud.
