The new merc packs have some interesting sounding items in them but all you tell us is their names. If you expect us to pay up to $100 for something we should be able to see the stats and the appearance of the items. You give us nothing, or even worse, conflicting information.
If you are going to charge real money then you have to give us information on what we are buying.
When the items in the pack are for a new appearance then please publish pictures of the items.
When you sell us something that is just a different skin please don't go changing it. All the Tribute suits are different now. I do like the new Sever but the new Syndicate SMG is lame. I liked the old Sever too. The new skin should have been sold as a new item though.
If you ever make a paint bucket feature this is all pointless anyway. But, CCP has been teasing us with customization for years and I don't expect to see that delivered.
Once again the issue is communication and CCP Shanghai's struggle to get it right.
I want to support DUST and see it grow. But, my wallet is closed until you get this sorted. |

Agreed. I'm disappointed that the merc packs included basically zero bpo suits for any of the new racial variants. I'm also peeved that the Syndicate changed from it's nice red pattern.
I went to Gamestop (having already bought a Merc pack on the PSN) and bought another Merc pack, just to get the red SMG I'd seen. It's not red now. Seriously?
It's not the sort of thing that instills confidence in a purchase. |

Well at least you have the option to actually purchase the new merc packs,
It seems in New Zealand we still have the old merc packs which apparently are no longer for sale (but you can still purchase them), and the new ones are not on our store or the in game list.
Logging into there PSN site via a web browser, you can click on them, but trying to add them to cart brings up an country ineligible notice.
Yet again they like excluding countries - just like for the eve stuff in fanfest... this is the sort of thing you get for playing and supporting there game for 6 years on the opposite side of the planet.

Considering the gist of the post is that people don't know if it's a waste of money, "missing the chance to waste money" is slightly lower as a priority.

Reav is correct. But I also think that there should be a revision on the vet pack. I don't think it's right that people should have to spend $100.00 to get an AR blueprint. You should put the Covenant AR back into the Vet pack. |

I agree with the premise of the OP and while I'm not CCP I want to share some of the information I have (since I've spent money I really shouldn't have a bought the thing  ).
The dropsuits are statistically equivalent (I want to say identical but without the numbers in front of me at the moment I'm not 100%) to the MAG promo suits except that they are not considered racial suits (as far as I've been able to tell) and that they require no skills of any kind to use.
The weapons are most easily described by saying the the AR is stat copy of the Exile, the Swarm is a three round clip, does good work on LAVs, Blasters, etc. and the other two seem to fall into the same vein (however the other weapons I've only glanced at).
The LAV is the Saga with a new paint job (looks pretty good IMO) and a pre-fitted missile turret.
One final note, putting aside the collectors (like myself) who will likely want one of every BPO 'just to have it' the $100 Elite pack is the best per dollar value, this remains true even if you exclude all the BPOs and consumable items so from the player perspective you'll get the most out of your money by buying the Elite.
Cheers,
Cross
ps ~ If anyone official from CCP with better information than mine want's to come and confirm or correct anything I've said then I fully welcome them to do so o7 |
