Raczilla its much appreciated that you guys get the info out to us like this in the community, thank again!
We love you guys!
Thank you Raczilla, I just wanted to let you know how much it means to have an Epic team member give the community some answers. I hope Epic decides to keep this going after launch too :)
We're not going anywhere!
/u/raczilla Do you have any plans to allow people who purchased the Limited Edition (Or I guess the soon to be announced Ultimate Edition) to upgrade the copies which are being gifted to their friends?
Example: Instead of giving Joe a standard copy you upgrade it to a Deluxe version for them? (Then gift it)
Sometimes you know a friend won't be able to afford an upgrade but would probably appreciate one. Especially if everyone else in your circle of friends is running around with extra bling. Sometimes its nice to spoil friends <3
If anyone else reading has "creative" ideas on how to do this without breaking TOS I'm all ears.
This is a cool idea and I love that we have players who want to help out friends this way. Unfortunately, right now this isn't something we've got specific functionality to support.
Just wanted to mention we're still chasing this and that I haven't forgotten!
Thats okay. I think iv found a way using electronic visa gift cards. Although they are region specific. (As a Canadian i would be unable to give an American a visa gift card in USD without first having a US bank account.) They also seem to have an online only purchases requirement to them.
Anyway, both my friend and I are Canadians so its no big deal. There is a small fee on the card while purchasing it for him. All I needed to send the card was his email, his name which would need to be a perfect match on his epic account (to avoid problems) and he should be good to upgrade the standard edition himself since it functions like a normal visa card does. (You'd have to make sure the cost in Canadian is enough to cover the exchange to USD though when loading the card. Or I guess find one pre-loaded in USD with enough to cover tax.)
If anyone is in a similar position just saying this was our solution. Its a little less fun then "surprise its a deluxe account" but it works in a pinch*.
Edit: In case some are wondering : Its against the terms of service to log into someone else account or share passwords, and its generally not safe to use your cards/paypal/whatever directly on other peoples accounts. Even if you trust them. ~Cheers
You are a good friend!
Do you know if Sony is gonna get preload? It's still not up in US Sony store and support said they have no directions to do a preload.
Still working on that one. I'll check in again in the morning and see what I can find out. I want to preload too!
