New Additional Supporter Pack Effects!

Personally, and in my very humble opinion, these additions are a bit of a let down.

I was hyped when new packs were announced, but the hype decreased when they were released because all the packs (with the notable exception of the Ascendant pack) felt somewhat rushed in comparison to the 2.0 ones.

With these additional effects, I feel like the Aspirant and Challanger packs have very weak weapon effects, along with average portal effects and pets. The Sovereing pack seems to be fair, even if I don't really like the weapon effect.

So, everything I wrote above leads to the fact that there is only one awesome pack: the Ascendant one. Each and every microtransaction in it is beyond great. I only wish I felt the same urge to buy the first or the second tier packs, since 440$ is too much for me at the moment, even though it's a hell of a bargain.

EDIT: Also, I'm still waiting for my physical goods from the previous set of packs.

Thanks GGG

I can barely see the aspirant weapon effect, but I really like the portal effect.

i agree the portal (next to the steam portal) is the cleanest and totally my style. weapon could have a little bit more pop when standing still. but the trail particles are a nice touch

It's never to late too learn how to read.

LOL Did I hit some nerve!?
Learn to comprehend first, afterwards we shall talk.


That's simply how effects MTX are monitorized, it's an incentive for those who can afford to buy the more $$ effect. Simply having few physical goods doesn't justify paying 5-10 times the base $$, nor does getting copies of the lower effects...

Also I would refrain from using the term IMO, if you are unable to let your opinion be challenged! ... IMHO

What justifies it or not, is for the buyers to decide.
And so, in your opinion people only buy the highest pack because it has a purple weapon effect and a big red portal effect, and not because they also include all the MTXs from the lower tier packs + the physical goods + the full value of $ in shop points???
Doesn't make sense but ok

Oh my Ozog!

I get my own portal?!
I'm half-tempted to upgrade to the Challenger supporter. It looks like it'd go well with the Summer Skull.

already in love with that little guy :)

...While top packs should get more stuff, not better. Big difference.

Erm... You get close to the value of the lower packs in points, and equal value in points in the higher packs.

That alone is enough for those to be priced as they are. The extra shiny goodies are there for added value - each effect, each item, adds value beyond what you pay for.
