Supporter Pack Upgrading Now Available

Hey Chris,
What are the chances of allowing open beta supporters to purchase addition weapon enchants for their alts? I LOVE the eternal weapon effect, but hate that I can only use it on one char. I think dual wielders would also appreciate this option. I would gladly pay to have 2, though paying another 1500 is a bit out of my range atm.

Email support@grindinggear.com for help with this. Multiple purchase upgrades need to be handled through them. They have a backlog of about 500 emails or so but they will get back to you.

No worries, i'm sure they will think of something, they have never let us down. ;)

As a dual wielder I second this! I find it hard to match my regal pinkish sword to another color... I think I'll upgrade it to the divine one, but then I'd like to have 2... or 1 regal + 1 divine I think would look cool.

Hmm, this is getting complicated!

Food for thought: I think microtransactions effects should just be infinite usage on anything you want, but it would auto "reclaim" when you trade/drop/vendor items. Would make my life simpler! The effect icon would stay permanently in you micro-transaction tab, not removed after usage.

Regarding the weapon effects:
They are handled as is now because they were planned to be one-shot use as in, you would apply them to one item and they are gone (the pricing would have been different, relax) but in such a loot and reroll heavy game, the closed beta community convinced GGG to switch to the current model of buy once, reclaim as often as you want. Back then, it was a quick and somewhat dirty change and there were ways to lose your purchased effects in various ways. Now that's fixed but the basic system hasn't been touched in a long time.

I think it's time to take another look at it and change those effects to one of two ways:
A) Item effects stay in your microtransaction stash and you can apply them to as many items as you want across all your characters.
B) Pack 2 of the effects into each supporter pack and please add some way of knowing what microtransactions are on what character. I'm an altoholic and looking for that one helmet addon across 20 characters isn't a great meta game.

I'd really prefer A) we already bought the item and you allow reusing the effects, it's simply a comfort change for us but should make it more stable and secure for you too. You wouldn't even need to prevent selling/destroying gems/items with effects on them, just run a "remove all effects" on anything either dropped on the ground or traded so effects can't be traded.

Oh and please make that microtransaction stash in some way sortable or autosorting, it's quite cluttered once you get into collecting stuff.

Haha, basically, what Thalandor said above me.

Let me know what you plan on doing for opting out of the physical goods, GGG!

I'm one of those 450 requests :P.

I'm one of those too that wants to opt out of the physical goods. Not because I don't like them or anything, as a thank you for letting me upgrade my purchase. I know GGG didn't have to do that (you can't buy a game the day it releases and the ask for money back or bundled extras a month later) so I'd rather they save the physical materials so they can save on shipping and use for someone else.
Best results as Ranger
rank 29 (1 Hr Lethal TI Solo (S02E148))
rank 40 (2 Hr Fixed Seed Solo (S02E249))
rank 49 (1 Hour BLAMT Solo (S02E258))
No physical goods is not a problem, I had a case in CB where I bought a pack with some physical stuff and arranged with GGG to just increase the amount of points I get instead of sending me the stuff.

No mod action. Business as usual.

same here. GGG does a lot for their players. All you have to do is contact them. Just be patient at the moment, as noted, they have 500+ emails and 4 people handling it(basically 1/4 of the company hehe)

Game needs monkey pets.

Any word on specifying a size for tee-shirts and how to pick which shirt when we have pick one?

Also had a transaction error (it said the transaction encountered problems) and ended up with a double transaction. Hoping I can get the faulty transaction reversed sooner rather than later :)

Awsome stuff though GGG, keep up the good work!
Hey...is this thing on?
