felipepepe Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Maybe someone here knows, why the Kickstarter update screenshot shows the Boxed Copy for $50, when it was $65 during Kickstarter (and still is on my pledge page)? The Digital Collector's Edition, on the other hand, is more expensive now: I payed $80 ($65 + $15 for shipping) during kickstarter for a boxed copy, and now people that just joined can buy the same for less? I want to support the game, but I feel I'm just losing $15 here for no reason. I already sent a message to Obsidian yesterday, but got no reply.... 1

Mine is the 110 tier i can't see. Eh, probably going to upgrade in the next few days,. Edited December 11, 2013 by C2B
Infinitron Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) Yeah, I'm getting that cheaper price now here, after having confirmed my pledge yesterday. Edited December 11, 2013 by Infinitron
Infinitron Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) Here are the tiers that I have available now - again, after having already spent my 70$ dollars of credit yesterday on one of the original tiers that felipepepe is getting: Edited December 11, 2013 by Infinitron
Infinitron Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) Here's what the $50 box tier includes: This tier includes: Box Version of Pillars of Eternity, DRM free for Windows, Mac, or Linux, with DVD and printed manual. Digital download of the Cooking with Tim Cookbook – An RPG-themed e-Cookbook. Digital download of the making of Pillars of Eternity Documentary. Digital Novella by Chris Avellone. Digital High-Res Game Map. Digital High-Res Concept Art Pieces. Wallpapers for Multiple Monitors. Pillars of Eternity Themed Ringtones. Digital Downloadable Soundtrack in MP3 and FLAC. Digital Collector's Book. Edited December 11, 2013 by Infinitron
C2B Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 It's weird I only get the new pledges. Originally I paid per Paypal on October 9th. So, still well into the Kickstarter.
Infinitron Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) OK, so the difference between the $50 box tier and the Kickstarter-exclusive $65 tier is that the latter comes with 1) An extra digital copy of the game (in addition to the physical copy) 2) A Kickstarter-exclusive in-game achievement and item It seems there are two sets of tiers - one for Kickstarter backers, and another for late backers. For some reason, some Kickstarter backers are being switched to the second set of tiers. Edited December 11, 2013 by Infinitron

Now the question is which of those are wrong... Edited December 11, 2013 by felipepepe
Infinitron Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Yeah, the screenshot is probably out of date.
SuicideBunny Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 It's weird I only get the new pledges. Originally I paid per Paypal on October 9th. So, still well into the Kickstarter. i pledged via paypal on the 10th and 16th and had the original prices for pledge tier selection. better contact them about it.

Tryggen Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Yeah i got the 65$ tier aswell from the kickstarter and it looks the same as felipepepe.
Pandamaniac Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 That would explain why some people (like me) aren't getting kickstarter icons after pledging, and (like I was before I asked for help) were stuck with retail. I believe, and this is a hypothosis, that anyone who had ANY paypal part to their pledge are being judged as non-kickstarter/original backers, and are getting these (inferior) "retail" pledges.
CottonWolf Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Oh, is that something we should be contacting them about? I mean, I don't particularly care either way, unless I'm actively missing out on stuff because of it. If it's just a kickstarter badge, I won't worry about it.
Technatorium Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Again if anybody is missing a kickstarter badge when they ought to have one. http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/64773-kickstart-backer-badge/ Moderators just openned a thread for anybody missing a badge.

I mean, I don't particularly care either way, unless I'm actively missing out on stuff because of it. If it's just a kickstarter badge, I won't worry about it. It is if you can't confirm your Kickstarter pledge, like C2B. Any news on this?
Minttunator Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Curious about this as well (I also backed the KS at the physical box level). Granted, the $15 difference isn't a huge problem, but it's still pretty lame if new backers are getting a better deal than those who have supported the project since the start of the Kickstarter.

Guest Matt Sheets Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 The Kickstarter Tiers are only available for any non-used Kickstarter Pledges. If you had a Pledge and finalized it, any additional Pledges through the Backer Portal would be using the current Tier/Price structure.
ctn2003 Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 does it matter? one thing i hate about pillers of eterneity is the HUGE lack of info about the game it took a year and 6 moths to even know what the World was even called!!!! and we still dont know what the UI is going to look like :L
Lephys Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 ^Dude... you do realize that they've been crafting it, by hand, from the ground up, right? Like, this whole time? You do also realize that most other games don't even start telling/showing-off anything until about 5 months from release, on a generally-longer production timeline? "There's stuff we don't know!" Yeah... it's called a process. Should we not start with some Ipelagos, or at least some Greater Ipelagos, before tackling a named Arch Ipelago? 6_u

This is about the boxed copy price differences.
Sensuki Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) and we still dont know what the UI is going to look like :L Yeah we do: Don't freak out about the second image from youtube, that is their blockout tool. The game levels won't be grey There will also be optional fill in art for the UI to make it solid. Action bar will appear when you select a character. Edited June 17, 2014 by Sensuki
