Original sticky by CCP Wang: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=37868&find=unread
So... does that mean those who purchased the Merc Pack previously qualify for the extra stuff? If not, is there some alternative for them to acquire it? Or is it just a bonus for those who came to the Beta rather late? |

"If you purchase the new Merc Pack between 11:30 GMT Sept. 27th - 11:00 GMT Sept. 30th, you will also qualify to receive additional bonus items listed below:" -> sounds like THEY qualify because they can join at the time to redeem the suit.
"The bonus Tribute Dropsuits can be redeemed in-game during the promotional times from 11:30 GMT Sept. 27th - 11:00 GMT Sept. 30th each valued at more than $6, so be sure to login and get them right away!
Note: if you donGÇÖt redeem the items during the promotional times listed above, you will have to contact our customer support staff at [email protected] in order to receive the bonus items." During this time EVERYBODY should get it if I read it right. |

It costs the same...
This is a time limited offer to promote the merc pack, so only merc packs bought between 27th and 30th of September qualify for the bonus dropsuits. |

Oh, you're right, it does cost more...hadn't checked it, just assumed it would cost the same, since it is essentially the same thing... |

No, it is now 199 DKK here in Denmark. 199 DKK ~ Gé¼27, that is a hell of a lot more than -ú16 |

Chances are they're still working out cost per aurum costs, hopefully when they reissue the merc packs we bought earlier theyll issue us the corrected price scheme's amount. |

Yeah its gone up, it was a couple of quid less yesterday. I'm a little annoyed that the put the price up and used that as the only way for us to get the new dropsuits. |

heh. they can keep their new aurum packs, already got my first one.. and some lame bonus suits won't make me buy another. I didn't mind dropping 20 on the beta for the first pack, but I wont drop more for another when the game isn't even out yet. For all I know we are getting 90% of the game already and just getting told " more to come" more like more money to come out our wallets.. well not mine |

Now, I'm tempted to get it, despite having the first one because... hey... more Aurum. Which I would have gotten at some point due to the boosters. Since, after all, there will be more resets... and fortunately I've played enough to know EXACTLY what to build for when it happens, and it will be nice having weapons and gear that's slightly above the sheer garbage they start you out with.
So I'm not TOO upset about them giving out premium stuff to newcomers (despite me missing the original Skinweave suits), I just want to know if it WORKS. So... has anyone here purchased the new pack and gained the new suits yet? |

The price is the same $19.99 that it has always been (sans the PS+ sale). The amounts you guys are talking about make me believe it has to do with the exchange rate and not increased actual price. |

The price remains identical (as of a few minutes ago) for me. Unless it changes sometime today I'm going to chalk this one up to flux in the exchange rates. |

I bought the first pack when it came out even though I already had beta access because I 1) Wanted to support the game and 2) Wanted the extras that came with. The problem I have with the "new" merc pack is that it throws into question the future of the pack. If players who already bought the merc pack expecting to get the beta-only goodies are now finding out that they have to buy AGAIN to get other items, I have no confidence that they won't do it a third time or more with all kinds of separate permanent beta items when I'd like to buy one pack that has all the beta items in it. This feels like fleecing. |

I bought the first Merc Pack and I just purchased the second one about an hour ago. It seems you have to build your skill to even use those new drop suits at least for me anyways.
They all need anywhere from III to V in the skills for Gallente, Caldari and the other one minammar or something. If we can sell our items back to market or other players when the Beta opens up, we might be able to make some money for those of us who have extra stuff that came with both Merc packs.
What do you guys think? |
