Boeroer Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Just curious: why don't you just wait until it's released and then buy it via paypal? Why do you want to be a backer so badly? Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods
obsinaut Posted February 8, 2017 Author Posted February 8, 2017 Just curious: why don't you just wait until it's released and then buy it via paypal? Why do you want to be a backer so badly? Because there wont be a collectors edition or other special things, otherwise i prop wouldnt care. Lucky enough that some/most tiers arent limited, otherwise you would be screwed if you can only pay with paypal. If i beg for money because i want to make a game or whatever and i cant enable paypal from the start because of whatever reason, i atleast would hold some of the limited tiers back for when i can enable paypal and then offer it to the people so that they also have a fair chance of getting what they want. But no, this isnt the case here or elsewhere. Also if i dont offer pp from the start, i would atleast inform as good as i can about it. But obsidian didnt, even after 2 weeks they dont. Nothing. 1
desel Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Wednesday isn't over just yet, still a few hours left. 4-5 pm EST is usually the time for updates, so sit tight.
Boatmurder Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) Hope you can figure this out. I supported PoE I and was looking to do the same for PoE II, but giving away my credit card info to some website I never heard of before is not an option. edit: also: using the promo code link doesn't have any effect Edited February 8, 2017 by Boatmurder
AndreaColombo Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 edit: also: using the promo code link doesn't have any effect It does. You can select the backer discount as an add-on.

AndreaColombo Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Because there wont be a collectors edition or other special things, otherwise i prop wouldnt care. If it works anything like the first game did, you'll probably be able to acquire the CE through the backer portal after the campaign ends. That said, I still hope they'll enable PayPal soon—both because I'd like to switch to it, and because I'd like PayPal backers to count toward stretch goals. 1 "Time is not your enemy.

desel Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Ouch... Adam Brennecke just said the backer portal (and PayPal backing) will probably go up towards the end of the campaign or right after the campaign has ended.
Hemmer Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 A real shame - getting the portal up and running during the campaign probably would have brought quite a few of potential backers on board to help knocking down a stretch goal or two. 3
AndreaColombo Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 100% agreed. I have funds on PayPal I wanted to use, but ifI can't switch to PayPal before the pledge is collected I'm out of luck. 1 "Time is not your enemy.

Archaven Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 paypal wont be available until the figstarter campaign complete. basically what i see it as "conflict of interest". just my opinion. 1
AndreaColombo Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Feargus did say in the Fig comments they got sidetracked because busy week but are now targeting next Tuesday. Can't screenshot it from my smartphone though. 1 "Time is not your enemy. Forever is." — Fall-From-Grace, Planescape: Torment "It's the questions we can't answer that teach us the most.

Godfather101 Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Really hope they add Paypal-backing possibility soon. Just want to back PoE 2 but can't without paypal backing. Looking forward to next tuesday then. 1
Hemmer Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 We still on track for PayPal/The Backer Portal going live later today?
Godfather101 Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 Yeah, really hope to read some good news on paypal backing.
marc2ster Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 The update was awesome xD But still nothing on PayPal as far as I see :/
Mich-666 Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) Still waiting for Paypal confirmation or for an option to back the game on eternity.obsidian.net portal (preferable). Please at least tell us if this would be an option before Fig campaign ends. Thanks. Edited February 14, 2017 by Mich-666 1

Hemmer Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 At the danger of sounding like a broken record - any news? If they need yet another week I'd rather they say it than keeping folks up all night. Getting late over here. 1
Godfather101 Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 yeah, really hope it will be any day soon now. Really would like to back PoE 2 .
Raygereio Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 It's honestly a bit disappointing how low a priority this obviously is to Obsidian. The poor communication about it doesn't help, but you'd think this would be something they could have set up and have ready to go back when the campaign launched. Then again, it's also baffling to me that sites like Kickstarter and Fig don't offer alternatives to credit card already. 9
Forens Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 I don't get it either. If you look at the pledged amount (a considerable $62,127 according to https://crowdox.com/projects/)that came in through the CrowdOx pledge management service (which lets you back projects with Paypal for instance) alone during WL3s kickfigstarter I'd say that Obsidian are really missing out. Considering the premature praise and popularity of POE2 as the sequel to the widely acclaimed POE it probably could be even twice (thrice?) the figure WL3 managed to get. 2
rjshae Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 I'm sure they'll get to it at some point. If not, well I'll just wait for the game to come out. "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."
marc2ster Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 I'm sure they'll get to it at some point. If not, well I'll just wait for the game to come out. That would be an option if there wouldn't be those sweet rewards and add-ons
Forens Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Also would be nice if we could pledge while the campaign is still running to help with reaching the stretch goals. 7
