soedenone Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Email from Obsidian: We will be notifying backers very soon when they can start getting their keys through the Products Tab of their Account Profile. Once you receive that email you will be able to go to the Products Tab of your Account Profile (https://eternity.obsidian.net/account/products) and click on the Pillars of Eternity link. From there a dialog pop-up will come up asking you which platform you would like to have the key for (GoG or Steam). After you make your choice, you will be given your key and be good to go! If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask! Thank you for your support and we look forward to you playing the game in just two days! Is that an email your received? I "slacker-backed" immediately following the kickstarter, so I was never sent any of those kickstarter emails. I guess they might be doing the kickstarters first, then the "slacker-backers"?
vsanders Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 With all this venom, I assume the complainers will be rolling rogues? Or just taking the generic talent? 2

xsubtownerx Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Anyone seen any of these mythical keys yet? No. The backer embargo hasn't been lifted yet.
SunBroSolaire Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 The backers got the game and the content at a discount and had a small degree of input on the development... If you want to get review copies of the game - it's not like reviewing games is hard - get to it. Sorry just thought backers would be treated better ... After all if Chris Roberts can take time out of his day to put his backers first you'd think any KS developer would. I guess I've just been spoiled. Chris Roberts.... Of course Chris Roberts "puts his backers first", he's fleecing them for tens of millions of dollars. Yet we're getting a finished Pillars of Eternity in one day and Star Citizen is still vapourware. I'll take a team that actually puts the project that was funded first over that, thanks. 7
krosty4782 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) So, ppl is angry because they dont have a key that is useless right now, i mean, yeah sure, you can install the game with that now, but you can't play until 26, so why all this rage? People is insane... Edited March 25, 2015 by krosty4782 4

TheSteadfast Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 People just want to feel special..... Spoiled kids wanting to get everything FIRST. If there is something to complain about its that they are releasing the game on a Thursday when I could only take Friday off of work to play! I am going to be going nuts on Thursday. Come on Obsidian, cater to me specifically! 1
Rostere Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 So, ppl is angry because they dont have a key that is useless right now, i mean, yeah sure, you can install the game with that now, but you can't play until 26, so why this all this rage? People is insane... Some people with slow connections would want to start pre-loading now. Especially if the alternative is them going to sleep and starting pre-loading in 8 hours. That's pretty much it I think... 3 "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!"
Bryy Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 What Backers get: Cheaper game and, if picked a higher tier, access to extras at a cheaper price Exclusive in-game items Being part of the development and having our input taken into consideration Access to the beta Buying the expansion at a cheaper price What Non-Backers get: Ability to pre-load a couple of hours earlier than backers and then unlocking the game at the same time Would it be nice to have the key right now? Yes, but this is just making a mountain out of a mole hill. Technically, backers don't get a cheaper game, as physical rewards only started at the $100 tier.
jpinks Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 No some of us here live in Rural areas and have crap internet connections, hell I know people who still use AOHELL because they cant get highspeed. 1

People is insane... rage begets rage, it's how we operate. It's also hard to contain yourself when you are so near to the oasis after having spent years in the desert. It's been a long time since we've got a proper fantasy cRPG of this caliber. Also I have nothing better to do right now than press f5. 1 "He who fights trolls should see to it that he himself brings fire or acid" - Me

Terodemmah Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 In the meantime you can download Disconnect and check which sites get notified when you're on this forum. Not interesting at all but at least something to spend your time with.
Kimaka Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Technically, backers don't get a cheaper game, as physical rewards only started at the $100 tier. I was referring to the digital rewards since those are the ones non-backers can opt to get along with the game.

I was referring to the digital rewards since those are the ones non-backers can opt to get along with the game. You do also forget that we spent our money on a chance to get a game. Kickstarters do fail and you get nothing for your money. So there is more involved than getting the game cheaper, it is making the game more likely to be released, but still you put your money out there at a risk. Maybe some look at this like a producer, you gave them the money beforehand and you would expect to get to see the results (or in this case play) before others who did not put their investment into the game at a risk. 1

But remember, he *is* a backer! :Cant's broad grin icon: I'm a backer too, so out of respect I'll allow him to get his pitchfork too, then we can have a pitchfork duel. That makes me think...why aren't pitchforks an in-game weapon? I demand a delay so they can be implemented .

Cantousent Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Keep in mind that this is the first kickstarter that Obsidz has done. I would imagine they'll gain much wisdom from this experience, maybe level once or twice, and then choose the skills and feats that will allow them to fight that much better next time. In the meantime, I think I'll start selling pitchforks and fiery brands. Starting with Pedro.
