Payment Improvements for Tomorrow's Supporter Packs

GGG, can you give us more options for giving you money that don't involve going through xsolla? I'm not going to use xsolla.

i still see all prices in dollars despite being european.

Just out of curiosity I went through the process of paying. My plan was to stop if I had to enter my information on a xsolla site or popup or whatever. But ... I never had to enter my paypal information on a xsolla related site. It redirected to paypal, I entered my information there only. Nor did I have to create a xsolla account of some sort.

Seems good?

edit: paypal just pays to xsolla now, not ggg directly.

Oh and conversion rates: The $60 was 52,74€ as of today.

Damn that sucks. I like to read the comments and everyone's opinion on the supporter packs.

Yeah, WTF??!

Thought it was a mistake, but if this is intended it sucks even more! It screams terrible business practice, even if it may not be so.

guys if you want to see the price in euros or in your currency you have to click on the little flag on top on this page.

I m french and couldn't see the price in euro too, but if i click on the french flag to have the website in my language, the shop price are display in euro.

I think the conversion dollar euro is a bit better than before. 85 euros for 100 dollars and no conversion fee seems good to me.

Won't be getting one this league anyway. You moved the initial launch date so i talk to my boss about a possible reschedule of my vacation, i get it, and you guys move the launch date back. Just gonna skip this league and enjoy Grim Dawn where the devs are a bit more consistent. This GGG flimsiness is just tilting.

it's simply because somebody posted a popular reddit article to the pre-announcement thread.

they wanted redditors clicking on that article to see the 3.1 trailer site so they relayed all links there.

Thanks for the info! It does show the price in euro's but it also changes the language on the entire poe website. The price in euro's should be viewable regardless of language.

Anyways, for those worried about xsolla... I just bought the highest supporter pack(dominator) with paypal, and it seems xsolla is just a passthrough for the payments. No info had to be entered on any xsolla site. All xsolla did was show a summary of what I was about to buy and what I had bought. So, paypal basically worked as before.

PS: With the current conversion rates, it seems buying the highest supporter pack for euro's directly is(at the moment) cheaper than buying it as euro to dollar conversion(atleast via paypal). Official PoE website price for the highest pack is €410, while I had to pay €420,33 through paypal.

It just gives off the impression as if GGG is trying to hide negative feedback caused by the announcement. Personally I think this expansion sounds cool!
