Fixed that for you :smiley:

cheers :slight_smile:

Not even out of alpha, IMO. The itemisation and crafting still feel like placeholders at best.

What I read is normal edition you get 9 300 aquilas, and imperial edition you get 14 000

I have bought imperial edition before switching to steam… believe me, you won’t get 2 500 more aquilas. It was clearly mentionned 2 500 when I bought it. So, it is mentionned 14 000, you’ll get 14 000 and not more.

This is a ridiculous amount of aquillas on purchase. It might actually be a typo from xbox and they accidently added a zero?
Since 250 on purchase and 1400 with imperial does sound a lot more likely.

With that said. They know the game is crap and has lots of bad press… So it would make sense for them to water down aquillas in order to build value to trick more people.
Its what their marketing have been doing all year…

Old customers are pointless, tricking new ones is more important.

And yesterday I was really considering to buy the biggest aquila pack. Because I really like the new patch.

Now I am 100% sure it won’t buy anything.

Try looking a little deeper.

The Imperial Edition content part includes the 2500 aquilas.

If it didn’t include those 2500 aquilas, it would have been just called Imperial Edition Cosmetics.

What was cropped out here is context, who I was responding to and why.

For context:
At that time Discord was in an uproar - including DMs with threats and people trying to get those communicating maturely to devolve into a tire fire. I was trying to gather broader sentiment than just one person, which can be hard to do picking out insults and conjecture, so I asked for people to be respectful. Comments were made that I should be more upset, when in reality I had just found out - and I prefer to see how things will be handled before I let something ruin my week.

I hate to be the one to say it but if every comment i say will be taken out of context and waved in front of upset people to incite more upset its going to be very hard for me to help with transparency.

ok it seems you’re right… even worst so.

In your discord message you are talking about you too getting a bonus gift for buying the game on PC. What bonus gift are you talking about ? The 2500 Aquilas the Xbox players also get with their additional 14k Aquilas in the Imperial Edition ? The B helmet that doesn’t match any current set for 3/4 classes and clips through some faces for the Veteran ? Maybe it’s the full year of buggy missions, crashes, lack of content and lack of communication that you got if you only bought the regular edition of the game ? Just curious to see what you consider a “bonus gift” in this list

It’s obviously the memories we made along the way. Maybe the friends.

That was in response to yet another message cropped out where a very emotionally charged person implied that they got no reward at all.

This wouldn’t be an issue if communications weren’t so heavily skewed towards discord in lieu of this forum or steam’s forums or reddit, however, I do appologize for not digging in to the discord for further context.

Considering how long the game has spent in an undercooked/downright broken state, you had an early access period with a premium edition AND pre-orders, unless you want to burn player goodwill on the wind you should consider those players whenever pulling off something like this.

I understand that you are the messanger and your job is to be the bridge/filter between the directors at FS and the players, however, it sure does feel like the old man yells at clouds meme a lot of the time.

Hi, @FatsharkSeptSis

Are you a CM or a player?

I can agree that some posters on this forum use foul language and are unnecessarily rude/demanding, but the way you write this message comes across as hostile as the posters you are referring to.

Wether they are “very emotionally charged” or not doesn’t really matter.

You should never be rude toward customers even if they are rude against you.

That is just insane coming from my own field of work.

Let’s try to keep this discussion civil, yeah?

Fatshark proving yet again that they should have been reviewbombed further to hell and back.

At this point they’re little more than scammers opting for bait and switch tactics with neither spine nor backbone, let alone principles, and I wonder how people working there feel about the perception of their company.

You are speaking to me as though I have been here longer than two weeks and have had any say at all on what was decided pertaining to this.

In regards to “discord gets more communication” - I actually hang out there in my OFF TIME because there is voice chat and I am able to do pug runs. I was a fan before I was brought on as staff, and I genuinely enjoy playing the game. That said I will be here in the forums more often, but In my defense, no one on discord has misquoted me to try to cause further upset in a conversation. And reddit is also being shown love.
