gavagai Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Hi Everyone, I know that those of us who supported the KS are going to have some kind of "backer" meddle in a DCS:WW2 forum. I'd like to respectfully request that special-status stuff end there. I backed the KS because I wanted a high fidelity WW2 flight sim. I don't want any special weapon loadouts or skins or other stuff that identifies me as a peacock in an online community. This goes against the current marketing trends of the computer game world, but I think most of us are not looking for a title that is like other computer games. I trust that we're going to have a fantastic WW2 combat flight sim, and I am eager to pay for additional core content. Core content is where I hope the financial incentive always remains for DCS WW2: aircraft, maps, single-player and coop/multiplayer campaigns, etc. are the things that will make the sim great.

gavagai Posted October 5, 2013 Author Posted October 5, 2013 Oh, I do want to add one caveat. All the people who pledged big sums of money to make DCS:WW2 happen have my thanks and respect. I know a few pledged enough for a special skin or something like that, and they deserve it. My post is only aimed at the future of DCS WW2.

jerda Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Uhhh, the pledge drive is less than 3 hours away from being over. These extras amount to nothing anyway.
VincentLaw Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 I know a few pledged enough for a special skin or something like that, and they deserve it.I am pretty sure those "special skins" will be available to all players. They just get to leave their mark on the game development. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Siq6Six Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Personally I'd rather see the specials only be skins or forum badges. I always find it irritating in other games when you get some extra weapon/ammo/whatever that is unachievable/unlockable. So I got a gold bar in BoS forums. Means nothing. Won't make me a better pilot or my plane fly faster. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Screamadelica Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 I'd prefer the forum medal to be fairly small and unobtrusive. It really doesn't need to be highlighted in our forum profiles. I mean the flight sim community are a modest bunch. :smilewink:
