Purchase tier 2

[Ajplagge]

For an extra 10/20 dollars player gets:

1: Bumped to front of auto join line.
2: If still in que at end of the server's match; bumps a demo player.
3: 3 name changes a day.
4. Lag/packet loss rejoin leniency/protection.
5. Can view other players stats.
6. Larger friend list.
7. ??
Not a set list but I for one wouldn't mind throwing down an extra 20 bucks for a few more perks.

As the game's popularity increases I can see a demand for first two especially.

I think that 1 (implementing the join queue), 2 (i would say bumping the demo player after five mins of wait), 4, 5 and 6 should be added anyway in the next updates.

I bought the game because I saw that they are nicely supporting and upgrading the game, not to be asked for more money for a few new functions.
Other 20 bucks? Maybe, but please 5 new planes, new maps, single mode campaign and challenges for each plane.
Oh, I forgot the movable objects and animated graphics in the map editor.

totally agree with first 6 points.

I'm totally digging the lagout protection. So if tec's server goes wack, bam everyone gets sent back in.

[nesnl]

Purchase TIER 3 (Additional 100 dollars):

*Double damage for all planes.
*Triple Health for all planes.
*Ability to retract damage done to your base due to "lag bombs."
*Shields last for 10 minutes when activated.
*Walls never disappear when activated.
*Killing someone makes them lose an equal amount of xp that you gained.

that would be excellent for the proleague servers. mabye also my servers becuase im always performing updates...

[Taroud]

And don't forget the tactical nuclear weapons that instantly destroy all other planes on the map.

I see what you are saying, instead of tier 2 it should probably be altitude jet-stream expansion set and include enough not to just make it another patch but truly an expansion.

The game has expanded a lot since I bought it though, so I don't mind throwing down another twenty bucks for the new features and fun.

[Beagle]

Is this thread serious or just another ruse to get me to fly off the handle and get banned?

I mean, seriously? This game has so many demo users and your solution is to ask the people who have supported the game to spend even more?

You're looking in the wrong direction.

[NfoMonkey]

this kinda smells like one of those "free" mmo-s like "HAI this game all free good fun time nao!!!! you know, except if you want all the fun stuffs, oh and did I mention if you want the REALLY REALLY good stuffs you have to pay even more for a PREMIUM account"

[Equilibrix]

Yeah, all these should be included in the full game so there are even more reasons to buy it... And for us, lucky owners of the game, it would be just splendid

On a serious note, permanent walls would be a lot of fun. Either the ability to place them during map creation, or a server config to adjust the length of time walls last once placed by a player.

[Tosconi]

Maimer - why not just to add a "win button", which allows your team to win the match, whenever you want? (for 200$ Tier 4)? :P

PS: T3 sounds a bit over the line

Protest boy - I think it's a really good idea, to have some (functioning) permanent walls installed in the map as "decoration"

and...eeh - from the one side it's a pretty good idea to decrease xp for getting killed (i mean in a normal game mode (no T3)). But from the other hand it would seriously increase the number of "ratio whores".

[DiogenesDog]

I actually think the permanent wall feature would be really useful for the new TDM. I haven't gotten a chance to play it yet because I'm out of the country, but I think it'd be cool to have safe spawn zones for each team. A little cubby protected by team-color permawalls would make this possible.

As for the initial post - meh. Maybe an expansion pack at some point would be cool and I wouldn't hate a free to play model with micropayments that totalled more than $20 combined, but bleh. I don't think it's a good idea to charge people for those kinds of features, that's almost sure to piss people off. You really have to offer content I think for people to not feel like theyäre being taken advantage of.

[hurripilot]

Yeah, I don't know about this. I tend to agree with Beags et al. I think maybe the things Bob listed should just be perks that paying customers get already. It's been said before that Lam and Karl are already way too generous to the demo players, and I agree.

This isn't really the kind of game where you buy "expansion packs" and whatnot. It's more like the cure to that kind of thing.

That would also increase the value in ratio-whoring.

[Vania]

Should we call these people premium users,
or just douchebags?

Go ahead, I can think of some fun names for the people who haven't bought it at all.
