Silver to Gold Upgrade...

[Joey Stalin]

I have the Starter Pack. I don't see Silver pack anywhere. But i see that i can upgrade to Gold. Does this unlock EVERYTHING? I'm just confused because of they went about chopping up the game in a bunch of different pieces instead of selling it all as one game.

Just would like some guidance. Would like to get access to the full version of the game, and unsure if i have to pay the $75 for everything or if this $25 upgrade works.

Thanks

The game isn't chopped up into pieces, it is a full game.
Standard is the full game then you have the two expansions same as most other games, the only difference is a free version is also available. Then there are the Legacy Packs which are the previous game ported to this game.
It really isn't complicated and simply reading the store page descriptions will tell you what each thing is.

Silver Edition contained Standard + Expansion 1 (and is no longer available), Silver to Gold doesn't contain all content it only contains Expansion 2 and is designed for people who bought Silver Edition.

Use a little common sense, why would a game that costs $75 for the full content also sell all content for $25?

if the only thing you have is the starter pack you don't even own the game

If you want to upgrade to gold you will have to buy the expansion pass which contains both expansions 1 and 2. You can not buy silver anymore. But since you own the starter pack you dont own the base game either. You will need to either buy the gold edition which is the base game + expansions 1 and 2, or buy the standard edition and then buy the expansion pass later. If you want EVERYTHING then you need to buy the gold edition but the standard already has a ♥♥♥♥ tonne of content on its own.

Can you, though, without actually owning the Silver edition? It makes little sense to upgrade something you don't own.

Just don't see a silver edition in the store. I'm not sure why the game had to be sold with different maps to purchase individually. Instead of just selling the game with everything already included. Like any other normal game.

Im not sure why I'm getting all sorts of sarcastic remarks when I'm just trying to understand. Anyway, I appreciate the help.

The Silver edition isn't sold any more. Silver had the first part of the Expansion pass, Gold had both. It's not all too different from a game that has a Deluxe edition with part of the post-release content and an Ultimate or Gold edition that has all of the post-release content. It's pretty common practice, IO just named them differently.

DLC is hardly a new concept and most games do have dlc, which is content separate from the base game.

You have Standard Edition which is the basegame and includes the bulk of the content, then you have the expansions which contains a little extra content for those who want more. It's the same deal with any other game that includes dlc.

I appreciate that. I'm sorry that i just had a difficult time understanding. I understand now.

Well, the question seemed to be if buying a pack that upgrades one deluxe edition to another can get you the full deluxe edition starting with the free/'demo' pack, which many would find... absurd?

Not arguing that. Sometimes there's sales where you wonder why they charge more for a base game than the base game with a dlc. I get what you're saying. I suppose I was looking for clarification.
