I just wanted to point out that if you have already paid for some packs, you lose your money here. I can understand them upgrading the characters and equipment for the free items (well not free you have played the game to earn them), but for the items you actually paid money for you get screwed over. I had spent already a pretty penny on the game and with the hyperdrive bundle it basically wiped out my purchases. Customer Support doesn't follow their guarantee of client satisfaction there so they don't help. I got the same email from them twice so they don't even read what you send them ( I had more details which they never responded to).One thing to point out, and I hope the developers read this, there is no disclaimer in the game saying that the hyperdrive bundle wipes out your cash purchases, there is no link off of the bundle to point you to the forums, so I did not know that this is what it did. If I did I would have second thoughts about doing it. The hyperdrive bundle in essence was more then double the price. Being a new player, I do not go to the forums to check out everything. I play the game on the phone, not on a computer.

nothing wipes out purchases, what do you mean?

He is saying that his previous purchases are negated. If he spent on packs and gear to get his Mob enforcer to 5* G8, then it was wasted as the hyperdrive does the same thing.

You got value from those previous purchases for whatever time you had in advance of the hyperdrive bundle. You pay for time in this game which is exactly what you got, and there's no reason you should get any other refund

I am not sure what game you are playing, but we are not paying for "time" in this game, we are paying for character shards/blueprints or upgrades. If your explanation is true that we are only paying for "time" then are you saying at some point all the purchases people do will be taken away?

Look at it this way, If someone was to purchase the hyperdrive bundle first then the character packages, then those character shards and blueprints would stay in your inventory. Buying the hyperdrive bundle afterwards wipes the character shards and blueprints from your bundle by a flaw in the bundle description. The bundle description first says it does not add any shards or blueprints to your characters, but then later says it "tops up" those shards and blueprints to the intended level. So if you purchased a character bundle for Jedi Knight Anakin and get 40 shards and then get the hypdrive bundle at a later date, those 40 shards you purchased for cash gets wiped and you are back down to 0 shards even though your JKA is now at 5 star. If you have purchased something, then you should still have it, not have it taken away. That is my point.

Anything in this game is available for free, if you are willing to put in enough time. So when you pay for a toon instead of grind it out over time, you’re spending money in lieu of time to get it for free - hence “paying for time”.
You’re paying for early access to it, in other words.

The argument is, “you paid to have early access to JKA, and you got it”. So nothing is being taken away.

Saying all that, I’d love to get the shards to all the included toons/ships. For an end game player, that’s a LOT of shard shop currency. Which is why they structured it this way I believe, as that much currency would throw everything else out of whack.

If anyone spent on packs and gear to get Mob Enforcer to any gear level at all it was wasted whether they also got the hyperdrive bundle or not :smile:

IIRC, it could potentially be up to 130k shard shop currency if you had all the characters already. There is no way they sell the bundle for $99 bucks if that was a possibility =)

I did a rough estimate awhile ago and it came out to something huge like that too, definitely more than they would be willing to give us.

Well then sounds like it's too late for me to bother...

I had every character in there at 7* already and I still grabbed it. It's easily the best value bundle they've ever done.

Your true statement only illustrates how gross the gaming industry has become.

someone buying something they see as having great value is proof of grossness? WELP
