Airway Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) I read the news this morning that the english version of blackshark is downloadable. So after work I raced home to get the long awaited simulation. I hoped to work with this simulation over my holiday between christmas and new years. I have some days off then which I could have used for editing missions. Then I got very disappointed because I don't own one of these cards: I can only offer EC and Paypal payment option. Will at least the boxed version be purchaseable for me, or will it be the same like with Flaming Cliffs for me, what means: No purchase possible = no customer ? I feel like everybody else can use this simulation all over the world, but me. Regards, (Disappointed) Airway from financial crisis Germany Edited December 17, 2008 by Airway Changing an icon
ED Team Groove Posted December 11, 2008 ED Team Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) You will be able to buy the game from the shelves in germany. Is there nobody you know having a CC who could help you with your problem ? Edited December 11, 2008 by Groove Our Forum Rules: http://forums.eagle.ru/rules.php#en
Crow_Bar Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) You will be able to buy the game from the shelves in germany. Is there nobody you know having a CC who could help you with your problem ? Groove will DCS accept Pay Pal or maestro?, on the Protx site they have the Maestro card sign.

ED Team Groove Posted December 11, 2008 ED Team Posted December 11, 2008 Right now ED supports only the payment options you can find at the protx page. Perosnally i don't think PayPal will be added in the nearer feature. Regarding the Maestro sign i think the best would be to contact Protx and ask them about it. Nevertheless i will try to find out more for you guys about additional payment methods. Our Forum Rules: http://forums.eagle.ru/rules.php#en

That would be grand. :thumbup: You know - before I got to know that the English Version is available as download, I was happy to wait for the christmas holidays simply because I have two weeks off work. But now, knowing that there's something so close, I'm so longing for to get, but I can't get, I am disappointed and ask myself what to spend my christmas holidays for if not for Black Shark. Close to tears, Airway

Tez Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 I think the most common problem with PROTX is the banks outside of UK who require postcode and address (see this link). Also not all cards have CVV code which is necessary. Groove is right about contacting PROTX directly. They know much more about their transactions than we do. Actually we have to contact them rather often to find out the details. Maybe these links would be helpful to somebody: http://techsupport.protx.com/errorindex.asp http://techsupport.protx.com/avscv2.asp#benefits PS Maybe it's worth adding this post to FAQ.

Airway Posted December 12, 2008 Author Posted December 12, 2008 I contacted Protx via Email. Will get back here If I ever get a reply from them.
zokier Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 This is relative to my interests too. Apparently protx accepts only UK Visa Electron, so I probably need to wait for the boxed copy if paypal (or international electron) doesn't become an option :(
Airway Posted December 13, 2008 Author Posted December 13, 2008 So this is the official PROTX reply: Hi Marco, Thank you for your email. Unfortunately Protx do provide more payment options such as PayPal to process transactions but it is the choice of our vendors which they choose to offer for their products. We cannot add a payment type onto a site without a request from our vendor to do so. If you think that sales are being lost because of this issue it may be beneficial to contact the company and make them aware of this. They may decide they wish to offer more payments types to their customers. Hopefully by contacting them they will offer you a way to make a purchase. If you have any further queries please feel free to contact me again.

Don't know if I should be disappointed or frustrated now. Regards, Airway
Airway Posted December 13, 2008 Author Posted December 13, 2008 So who from ED/TFC should I contact now and how?
ED Team Groove Posted December 13, 2008 ED Team Posted December 13, 2008 Your biggest chance to get the game before you can buy it from the shelves is to get a credit card from your local bank. Anyhow ED might consider adding more payment options for the download version. No promises though. Our Forum Rules: http://forums.eagle.ru/rules.php#en
Airway Posted December 13, 2008 Author Posted December 13, 2008 I just don't understand why they should not add more payment options. Might be because of fee's for ED to offer these options - I don't know. What I know is that I am not going to get a credit card to buy this sim. Just another 21 million bank account's data leaked to the public right now here in Germany. I don't want to expose myself to one more unsafe service as I'm already using. Link?

I think that is strange closing the market to who do not have this card. We must wait months, than probably see 10 or 20 € charge more than the 50$ purchasing the box version...

An airplane by it's nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying; immediately and disastrously.
Guest tamaron Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Problems with Visa debit in Spain too :( it says "The Card Type selected does not match card number".... Very xtrange to me ther isn't any other payment option, or let customers outside UK to buy this game... really I don't see the point here, don't you want to sell the game outside UK or what?
Airway Posted December 14, 2008 Author Posted December 14, 2008 Ist there only this forum to contact ED? There's not even an adress or phone number anywhere to find. So am I right here with this problem?
ED Team Groove Posted December 14, 2008 ED Team Posted December 14, 2008 You are right here with your problem. As already stated ED might consider other payment options. Our Forum Rules: http://forums.eagle.ru/rules.php#en
Airway Posted December 14, 2008 Author Posted December 14, 2008 Sorry for any inconvenience then :blush:
Guest RossUK Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Just joining in to add you have lost another customer as well, I really wanted to buy this game too... It's pretty ironic that games companies want to stop pirating but if I wanted this game that is my only current option. Anyone can use PayPal so its a pretty obvious choice. As soon as I can buy it I will though. Simulators are by far my favourite games and I want to support them.
Airway Posted December 16, 2008 Author Posted December 16, 2008 I just purchased G.P.S., short for Geo-Political Simulator, an economic and geopolitical simulator game for PC, online two days ago. - Ordered 3:28 p.m. - Order confirmed 3:28 p.m. - Payed using Paypal 3:31 p.m. - Payment confirmed 3:31 p.m. - Got Downloadlink at 3:33 p.m. 5 Minutes for the whole process in total. :thumbup: Haven't heard of Eversim before. 1
DocNobby Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Hi! Just wanted to let you know, that I'd really love to buy this sim too. But I don't know anybody owning a credit card. I do however have a PayPal account, so I hope you'll add this payment method in the near future.
EagleEye Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 I really want to know from ED where exactly the problem is to add PAYPAL as a payment method!? Thanks for pushing, Airway!

Admiral_tow Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Hi. For me Paypal is also the only way to get it before the boxed versions are out. It's a long time to wait. If ED has reasons, why PayPal is not available, I can accept this and wait, but I hope ED explain it at least. Greetings, Harald
Wolfman Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 (edited) paypal request Hi there, I also only have the option to pay per paypal. no credit card and no, the suggestion to ask someone with a cc is no option. So please add paypal to the existing payment options. Thanks Cheers Wolfman [update] uh, just read on a different post that paypal is somewhat "uncooperative" when transferring customers money to russian companies. so I guess paypal won't appear on the list in my lifetime...
