A lot of new pledge options.

[Foul Ole Ron]

The only real way to interpret what he meant was that everybody got 3 for free (seems overly generous to me but anyway) and then after, if stretch goals were hit, you got an extra 1 for $20, 2 for $30 or all of them for $40. Still doesn't make much sense as an overall model but hey. Unfortunately it never read very clear hence all the confusion - I know I was totally confused initially. Somebody needs to use a proof-reader next time before sending out anything official.

[Grim_Smiles]

Decided to double my pledge on this KS, would like to see it be successful. I'm sure DCS WWII will be made regardless, but with success of the KS it will happen much sooner which is what I'm hoping for.

 

And I am pretty sure we will hit 100k... But the 375k we all want with a B-17 and large map feels far away :(

 

I'm hoping you are correct on making the 100k, I have to admit I'm concerned a little that we might not make it. Granted we had a large momentum early that carried it past the halfway point, and that we have 22 days left still, but things seem to have slowed down. At this point I'll be happy hitting 100k, I'm not expecting us to hit the first stretch goal unfortunately.

[tobaschi]

i did also updated my pledge

[Phantom88]

Yeah,I updated to include Dora Beta Great Option IMO.

[mazex]

I thought some of you might have trouble reading the updated pledge chart. Hence I remade them in a more manageable form. I don't think there are any mistakes, but if you spot any, feel free to tell me and I'll do the necessary updates.

 

The three main editions are:

 

DCS WWII Standard Edition

 

DCS WWII World Edition

 

DCS WWII Alpha Edition

 

Thanks!

 

The problem are the intersections between the levels... And if you don't want t-shirts etc that are only going to production costs and postage some options are lacking...

 

I have the P-51, want the D9 and alpha acesss and no physical stuff sent... Impossible combination it seems. I just want to pay $100 and get what I get on 85 + the alpha access that people get already at 50 ;) Sigh...

 

The stuff that really adds to the confusion is that the stuff just don't add to the previous levels like Kickstarter projects use too I think?

[hegykc]

Oh.. I see what you did there Luthier. Divide et impera, my friends.

Or should I say, confudamus et impera :)

 

I like this! Basically don't pledge less than a 100 because you don't know what you're gonna get. 200 if you wan't to be on the safe side, and a 1.000 just to be sure.

 

Screw those perfec campaignes, Star citizen... perfect this, perfect that...

 

This is fun! Can't wait for tomorrow :)

 

P.S. I'm not even joking

[cichlidfan]

Same here David, suitably confused already.:dunno:

 

That would make at least 3 of us.

You are right but it has picked up a good pace now which is even better then the last 2 or 3 days and we still have 11 hours left on the 13th.

[SmokeyTheLung]

4 of us...

But I think it will get ironed out further. From the kickstarter comments page:

Hey folks,

 

Editing the project, fixing some existing rewards, and adding new ones.

 

I'll post an update with everything spelled out once it's done, but it's a gradual process, so please don't react to changes prematurely - it's not final until I post an update!

[Foul Ole Ron]

The update completion has been posted already. Way I see it for those who are on 40 currently but planned on buying the Dora immediately may as well up their pledge to the 85 level. The 190 will probably cost 50 when it comes out so you'd basically be pre-ordering the Dora while helping to boost the KS level.

[Mango]

Updated my pledge to $150 to get the Dora and Alpha access. I would have spent that money on DCS Fw190 anyway!

[Smurfy1967]

Yeh Roy but it`s not fresh blood .only 40 backers today, the majority of the cash has been people upping pledges. Can`t we kidnap Bill Gates and make him chip in??? Long way to go, the 100 will be passed I`m sure, the stretches look like mission impossible at the current rate of pledging.

[Skoshi Tiger]

I think this tread needs to be renamed or allowed to die off. The original premise for the title has changed significantly and a casual visitor may not appreciate that. Another more appropriate thread should be used that discusses the current options.

 

Since the changes I've upped my pledge by $50, because the options are very attractive.

 

The tally is getting close to $71,000. Keep up spreading the word guys!

[fastfreddie]

Chipped in my $50 today. Don't know if I'll have any more before the kickstarter closes but I'm sure it will hit the $100k mark. Can they lower the stretch goals so the first one hits at the $175k to $200k mark?

Not sure if thats a good idea, at least not yet.If we were already close to the deadline I think another single seat fighter could be set for a 175-200k mark.Which one? I couldnt say, but I suppose it would have to be the less complicated one of the bunch.

[fastfreddie]

I'd be fine with another plane other that the B-17 if they lowered the mark but the gap is huge between the 100k level and the next benchmark as it stands. I bumped my pledge up to $85 mark to go ahead and pay for my FW190. Kickstarter and transfer fees being 9% seems really high but I've never done a Kickstarter campaign. Thats a huge chunk of this whole project.

[dburne]

Dang, I thought I would take a look at upping my pledge from 100 to maybe 150 or even 200, however reading the new pledge options I have no idea really what I am looking at, I am finding it quite confusing at least for my simple mind... different options even for same amount of pledge.

 

I mean seriously I am looking at the pledge page now where I can change my pledge amount and choose a new reward.

Ok my existing current selection , is 100+ - Everything at the 40 level, plus hard copy of combat strategy and tactics, and spiral bound copies of aircraft manuals for two flyable planes.

 

Then, I look at changing to say 150+ - I get everything at 50 dollar level, plus hard copy etc etc. So I look at 50 dollar level, and it states everything at 40 dollar level - ok I look at 40 dollar level, it states everything at 10 dollar level, plus digital copy of flyable aircraft etc etc...

 

Sigh, I think I just need to go to bed, maybe my mind will be clearer in the morning LOL. Leaving it as is for now.

[Siq6Six]

Well, the goals Have changed since the threads creation,but now I agree with it more than previously!

 

/whines like a girl

 

Ya ya, I'm sure it's for the better... I hope atleast. I do love the B-17, just no, (read:none, nilch, zero, zip) interest in flying it.

Ok. let me help you out. :)

 

They added a few things to make things more interesting and more attractive for more people.

 

I had the same pledge as you: $100+shipping. This gave me all the flyable planes plus a tactics manual that I don't really need ( I suck anyway) and the spiral manual. The thing is I already have the DCS pony and intended to get the DCS Dora at the first occasion instead of waiting for DCS WW2 Europe when I'll get them.

I upped my pledge to the $110+shipping because this one has instead of the tactics manual a copy of DCS FW190 D9 from the moment it goes beta, long before DCS WW2 Europe is released. On top of that I also get the Alpha access to the game.

 

The new pledges widened the options so you can chose manuals, alpha access for the game, the DCS P-51D and DCS FW-190D9 from release, or a much wider combination of this things, depending on what you like to have more.

[Uther]

OK I'm looking at upping my pledge to get the 190.Currently I'm on the $50 'alpha tier 1' pledge, that gives everything at the $10 plus alpha access. I'm not so fussed about alpha access, as I doubt I will have time for it, and am not interested in manuals or t shirts.

Is the $85 DCSW Tier 2 the one to go for? This gives me a 190 in DCSW on release, with beta access to WWII. Does it also give me the 190 in WWII though or would I have to buy another licence?

Confused.com...

[SlipBall]

Yea people should think twice about wanting to be in the alpha...I have zero interest in that

[dburne]

Ok. let me help you out. :)

Thanks that helped clear things up somewhat for me this morning, have now increased my pledge.

[Screamadelica]

Decided to upgrade my pledge to get the chance to log a few hours on the Mustang and the Dora before the rest of DSCWW2 hits. I'm looking forward to the learning curve that this series offers. There is nothing more satisfying than the moment when you finally master the beast, unless it's unloading lead into a 109! :smilewink:

85 tier 2 is the one to go for if you want the 190 beta and don't care about alpha access. Once the 190 goes into beta in DCS World you'll have immediate access. Then once DCS WW2 is released you'll have it there too. May as well preorder the 190 and help out KS at the same time in my opinion.
