I know it's just one voice in many but wanted to say that the POE structure of yearly support packs that are tiers is something I look forward to with enthusiasm because it gives me a way to slowly upgrade and work towards my target mtx over the course of a year. I typically buy 1-2 of the yearly support packs each league (if the league is good) and often i'll buy a league support pack as well. I don't think I've ever bought just the top tier pack straight away, but I have skipped ahead rather than buy them one at a time.

But, most importantly (and really the only thing i think is super important to me) is that if i buy points I always want those points to come with a pack that includes other MTX.

Once supporter packs exist the idea of buying just points, without attached MTX, feels really shit. If POE didn't have a large variety of supporter packs (4 over the year, and 6 each league) then I think I'd spend significantly less on their store.

Once I'm out of ...

Will the merchant guild be available on legacy characters or only cycle?

Oh well it's the kind of dumb loyalty cards they try to pitch to you in grocery stores here in Germany. Like 99% of people don't care about it and don't have one, but they still have to ask you every single time, because their employer says so.

1. Can't wait to play once 1.0 drops!
2. Weird question. If cycles are seasons why not just call them seasons?

Do you sometimes feel like a cashier who has to ask every single customer, if they have a payback card regarding how often you have to repeat yourself answering the same questions over and over and over? :D Still sane, exile?

Cool. Kind of weird to be able to power farm and then switch to trade, though. Almost sounds pointless to have 2 factions. But I'm sure the details in the Dev blog will make it make more sense. I'm excited

I can understand the frustration lol, either way thanks for the reply.

let's me keep working on my current online character

Do you choose the merchant guild or the rarity thing/faction during gameplay or upon creation? Can you change it at will? If it's at creation, what does a legacy character default to?

Thank you.
If you google this question you'll find statements about online characters moving to offline as well as in the chat online. It seems like only a handful of people understand what's actually happening.

As always I appreciate you fellas speaking with the community down at this level about individual features.

With regards to the bundling and being careful about adding incentives to spend more money, my feedback is that an adaptive discount system is always welcome. Meaning, if you already bought A and B separately for $60 total, you'd have the capability to "finish" your set with a $40 unlock of pack C's content, since that is the remaining amount that adds up to the ABC bundle cost.

Maybe this sort of implementation isn't on the table just now, as it has practical complexities to it. But just saying I appreciate the places where I see it, even if that's rare.

Just to make sure, you don't have that same expectation for cosmetics that aren't in the supporter packs though right?

Yeah not at all; individual MTX being priced differently based on how flashy they are makes sense, but if I'm choosing between competing packs with (presumably) exclusive MTX, I'd want to feel like they're similar quality between the different themes.

Now, if you could, would you prefer PoE to just be 2 packs that were $30 each and didn't require you to buy the 1st one to get the 2nd?

If they were split up into separate $30 packs it would be even better, as I would be able to pick and choose which parts of them I wanted. There have definitely been times where I wanted something in the higher tier but not the lower tiers and so I end up passing because the only bits I want aren't worth the increased cost to me.

Is the feedback that you'd like to give that you want all supporter packs to be on the same scale and price?

Yeah basically. Like in your example I would want the fire cape to be just as nice as the void one; similar animation quality/etc, even if the two packs then cost the same.

If there had to be different tiers for make cheaper options, I'd prefer they only include some of the MTX like a cheaper option that only gives pet+portal or such.

PoE's league-specific packs are kind of how I mean; there's a $30 option with some of the MTX, then a $60 that adds the rest, but both sets of packs feel equally good, just with different themes.

e: and a $90 version lately, forgot about that change heh

Originally posted by magus424

That sort of setup sounds kind of disappointing; why should the different themes be different quality levels? Am I just SOL if I prefer a fire theme over void, stuck with worse-quality MTX?

Originally posted by showtime_2k

Let's say there's 3 packs. $30, $60, $100. If I bought the $100 pack, why would it not include the two lower tier packs? In other words, I'm wondering what feedback you're getting that's mixed about that. There are actually players who want to buy the $100 pack and not receive the two lower tier packs with it?

Thanks for your comments.

We definitely both have enough stability, and typically both get rewards. However, for the person who didn't start the boss, it still shows as an outstanding item for completion.

This then stops that person from moving to the next monolith - I think - although we will have to try it again to confirm.
