Finkeren Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Ever since the pre-purchases were launched, I have wanted to preorder the premium version and support this project with as much as I could. However, recently my economy has been taking a bit of a hit, since I have been changing jobs and currently I'm not working full time, and with a mortgage and a small kid, I simply haven't been able to take the 90 bucks out of my budget to get the Premium. I thought I was definately going to make it before the deadline on October 1st, but a last minute extra bill has ruined that plan, and, unfortunately I won't be able to join the Founders Club. I'm confident that I'll still be able to preorder, at least in time for the not-so-early access, but I'll sorely miss the little golden tag under my signature. 1
=BKHZ=Furbs Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 That sucks mate, put your name down in the BOS gift thread, you never know.
Finkeren Posted September 30, 2013 Author Posted September 30, 2013 Nah, I want to buy the Premium with my own money. It just grieves me that I missed the deadline.
=BKHZ=Furbs Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 put your name down, if you win, great. then later when you can buy it, gift it to someone else.
Gunsmith86 Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Maybe he gets more keys than he needs. 10
Joker_23 Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 WAIT WHAT. There is a deadline for the preimum edition? Welp,here goes my chance as well. I guess being a student with part time job from time to time in a small city is not that great after all.
Finkeren Posted September 30, 2013 Author Posted September 30, 2013 Thank you so very, very much Gunsmith I really didn't want to ask for any kind of handout, but still your generosity has made me a very happy chap! I'll be sure to repay the kindness both to you and to some other community members in need, once my finances clear up in a month or so. Thank you!
leitmotiv Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 there is no reason to panic or believe that ability to pre-order premium will end 1st october, only some rewards are tied to orders before this date, probably people will be able to pre-order premium untill day before they are alowed to downloading game for guys and girls having premium, and standard pre-order will then continue same way nice to see you got gold bar Finkeren
=RvE=Windmills Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Yeah has there been any kind of official word on the cutoff? Will it just not be available anymore or will there just be less benefits?
leitmotiv Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) if you pre-order after 1st october youll not get unique 109F4 skin as guys who pre-ordered before, only that is tided to that date, no word on ending premium or any thing like that on 1st october Edited September 30, 2013 by Yaklover
Finkeren Posted September 30, 2013 Author Posted September 30, 2013 In the dev blog, it says, that the deadline to get the early (earliest) access is October 1st. I haven't heard about any changes to that date.
FuriousMeow Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Yeah, I thought it was just for the special skins - but it's apparently the end of the early access to the beta: we have decided to extend the early-access pre-order program for one more month until October 1st! You do get a special 109 skin, but it looks like tomorrow is the end of early access special orders.
leitmotiv Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) in 5 days they have big game show in Moscow, why would they end premium before that? imagine guy comes see game first time and is happy and please and askes when can i play the game , and they say oh your 5 days to late for premium so best you can get is standard so wait until winter to get this game, sory this show was not before 1st october you would be able to play it in 20-30 days if it was. i think they will extend it like they did with sep 1st just marketing tricks Edited September 30, 2013 by Yaklover 1

The diehards accept it, people who aren't so much - which are going to be the kinds of people at gaming conventions - are going to be turned off pretty easily since it won't be a fully complete release for another few seasons.

leitmotiv Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) from Russian Pre-order FAQ: http://forum.il2sturmovik.ru/topic/464-predvaritelnyj-zakaz-faq/ How long will be available for pre-order? Pre-order will be open until at least October 1, 2013. Premium edition - only Predzakaznoy version of the game and after the expiration of pre-order it will no longer be available in its current form. i still dont know why we dont have this on international forum also so after 1st october it will not be able in its current form, to me that means it will be avilable but with diferant bonuses Edited September 30, 2013 by Yaklover
dburne Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Thank you so very, very much Gunsmith I really didn't want to ask for any kind of handout, but still your generosity has made me a very happy chap!

That is so awesome, hat's off to Gunsmith and glad you got it Finkeren! Sometimes things happen beyond our control, and there are some really good folks on this forum that try to look out for each other. 1
II./JG27_Rich Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Cheers Gunsmith, Finkeren and this great community
Feathered_IV Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 This is fantastic. Finkeren, I hope things get better for you soon and congratulations. Gunsmith, you are amazing!

I was interested in Supporting DCS's and Luthier's next project but I've never played one of DCS's games except for Black Shark version one. So yesterday I downloaded DCS World and was interested in buying the P51 module. I decided to wait until the football game was over last night and by the time I got back to the order page the $14.99 P51 was now the regular price of $39.99. There was no indication that this was a fall sale (at least on the download page with the module banners on the side). I only found out because I went to their forum. Turns out I was FIVE minutes late to take advantage of the lower sale price. Was I mad? Yeah, but that's the way things go sometimes. Honestly, I'm disappointed enough that I really don't even want to buy the plane module or support the new effort, now. Like many here, money's tight. I probably WILL buy it, but ATM I don't feel like it. I do agree with one of the other comments regarding this being a BETA release and some gamers may not want to be involved or even understand the condition a BETA game can be.
mudpuppy Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Very nice gesture there, Gunsmith. This community interested in flight sims is relatively small but overall a good bunch of eggs. By the way, Finkeren, how cold is it in Denmark now? (That's my random question of the day) Regards, Derek
Finkeren Posted October 1, 2013 Author Posted October 1, 2013 By the way, Finkeren, how cold is it in Denmark now? (That's my random question of the day) It's really not as cold as you'd propably think, around 15 degrees centigrade during the day with chances of frosty weather in the night, which is pretty standard for early October. We usually only have a few weeks of snow each winter, though last winter was an exception, with temperatures well below freezing well into march. If you want real winter weather and deep snow, Sweden or Russia is the way to go.
Alesia Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Just read about the due date as well, guess that counts me out as well.
Streiff Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) The pre order program will continue until early access begins . At least the whole of October if i understand it correctly. http://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/1494-pre-order-and-early-access-discussion/ Edited October 1, 2013 by Baron
J2_Trupobaw Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Late to the thread - good to read the opening post for first time and already see golden bar next to Finkeren's avatar . S! Gunsmith.
Gort Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 I tried to beat the deadline, genuinely wanted to show my support to this project but no matter how I try and justify it I'm really not sure my wife or kids will understand such a frivolous expense in the run up to Christmas. >.< I'll be first in the queue with the official release, far fewer bills at that time of year! Just to be sure, the pre-order will run "until the autumn early access period begins…" You can still pre-order boys. "The pre-order program as described on the official site will continue on in October until the autumn early access period begins. The exact date will be announced soon. With the beginning of the early access phase the early access pre-order program will shut down…"
Deltrex Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Well the 1st October is almost over (or already depending on where you are). Until I read this thread I didn't even know there was anything extra for ordering early, or that the offer will end. Since I'm still a student in uni I couldn't buy the premium edition, but at least I got the standard edition and looking at the purchase time It looks like it's still the 1st in whatever timezone is used by the system. Good thing it was my birthday today and my grandmother gave me a bit of cash. I might not be in during the first early access phase, but I'll still be in before launch
Creepermoss Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Question here: If I preordered a silver package before September 1st, and can now afford a gold package, which date counts for my purchase?
