  1. I think changing the pricing now is not unprecedented - it's actually normal business.  For movies you go to a theater, then by online, then buy the Blu-ray, then rent online.  Things get cheaper according to a distribution schedule.  This is a similar case.  Early adopters pay a premium, late adopters get a discounted price after others already have the item.

     

    I'm sure that is true. But I think it is too early (and too late) for a significant price drop.  We are just over 2 weeks out from the release of these things. Who would buy anything at the original prices moving forward if they knew they just had to wait a couple weeks?    They needed to start with a lower price point, or need to wait for enough time to go by where people feel like it was worth buying in early.

  2. Isn't it too late to offer alt-only pricing?  Would that not annoy those most loyal supporters who already bought the full game and one or more alts?  

     

    I personally have purchased the full game bundle, several daily gold subscriptions, and a handful of other specials.  I think the alts are much too expensive.  Give me all of them for $20, and I'd be all over it.  That said, I don't think they should discount the alts so soon after releasing their original pricing.  It would be unfair to the customers who most love, and are willing to pay for, content.

  3. Agreed.  I paid for the full game (and a lot more than that for the paper version), and still pay for the daily gold.  I can't imagine paying $60 for modified characters.  I can't claim to be able to design an effective model for generating money from this game, but surely this isn't it.

     

    Don't get me wrong.  I'm not angry about it.  I'm not overly worried about access to the new characters or having all dice sets.  I want the game to be a financial success so that we get more.

  4. To be fair, even if you have Amiri (and who is paying for anything with cash but still doesn't have Amiri?) the price is still a decent deal.  $10 for 25 chests is the same cost/chest as the discounted 50 chests rate, plus you get a couple extra cards.  It's funny, because I think more people would buy this if Amiri was not included.  

     

    I still am not going to pay real money for something like this though.  The highest rate I'll pay is consistent with the daily gold, which gets you 12 chests for $2.

  5. I wanted to add an experienced character from Party A to Party B.  Party A is further along the story than Party B.  In the Party B Manage Party screen, the character was available (not shaded out nor locked), so I dragged her into Party B, and then went into the Manage Decks to trade some cards with other Party B Characters.

     

    But now it seems that this character is in both parties, with slightly different decks.  Did I make a copy of her that can develop independently?

     

    I just don't understand character management in this game.  

  6. I, for one, did want some changes to the UI.  I play on my phone, and much of the text was too small to read comfortably.  I really like the new zoom feature on the cards.  There are things I don't like about the new UI as well.  I don't understand why the location information is hidden behind a pull-out panel.  It is not like the panel covers anything important.

     

    I do agree that it is disappointing that the AP's are slow to come out.
