I expect an Australia day package will be next. Then the rest of non US Country holidays.
Also, lets change Baal/Cerb/Rag/CW times to be more US friendly, who cares about the rest of the world.
Yeah if it weren't for the US the world be rule by Nazis and Commies and Vampires.
What's Memorial Day for? lol
Well that escalated quickly. Isnt Tynon based in California? At least thats what all the PayPal stuff says. They had Valentines Day packages... didnt think that was the entire world either.
Valentines day is pretty much most of the vesternised World, memorial day is not - but if it gives cheap gems i guess we can celebrate it :p
The civil war resulted in lots of soldiers being buried where they fell. Graves went unvisited and no one put flowers on them since the families were sometimes hundreds of miles away. The widows of these soldiers decided that they would visit the graves of these soldiers and place flowers on them so no soldier went on forgotten even the ones of the enemy. This seemed to be important since the enemy was our neighbors and their sons. So once a year on Memorial day we visit graves of those fallen and place flowers or flags to remember their sacrifice. It is most certainly American and more of a somber occasion than a holiday. However it has become a time for us to celebrate the beginning of summer as well, usually with the first BBQ of the season.Quote:

It's Memorial Day in the US and Whitsun in the UK.
Same day this year but both have very different origins. Whitsun's other name is Pentecost, it's a Christian festival which isn't celebrated these days.
i am sorry to bother, but if its not celebrated as a holiday, its not a holiday? lol sorry, just had to get that out :oQuote:

Well without it there wouldn't have been a holiday in the UK and I did say origins. Two ways of looking at really.Quote:

oh dont let me hurt your feelings again and you know yourself you are just bending the truth since it was about "packages and in game content" and you talk about "non existent UK holidays".Quote:

As I said Kasim I was on topic and you are just being picky. This isn't about hatchets, it's about your behavior not just with me but other members of the community. Since you should know better am I am asking you politely to stop being rude and obnoxious to everyone. Granted your last post was reasonable, only just.
Leave the moderating to us mods, consider this a request and last warning.
The packages are really unpopular on my server. I don't know if it's the case elsewhere.
Usually, when new packages come out, people buy them like crazy and I receive tons of gifts :o
Now, I barely got any gift :mad:
I think this shows that players don't see the point in buying gems at the moment. Maybe Tynon should add more content instead of adding more of the same stuff to buy.
Well, this is the first day for the packages. And, on the server I'm on they seem to be very popular. I've got more gifts than usual for special packages.Quote:

The high vip players like myself (I can speak for my self only here) do not feel the need to buy any more significant packages like before. I may buy a few $99 one's and maybe one more big one just to have enough gems around to do sirus black smith without losing levels or mount transfers, but until the new content is released, there really is no point.
However, I can see for average players who are moderate VIP's wanting to spend a little more when they can get the advantage to keep the gears sockets open and filled with chips and get their black smith up some more since the changes in CWF has changed how it is equalized at the top. Eventually no matter who you are, you will have to give away to the Crown buffs since they never go down.
But the more I play this game, the more it seems to me that spending significant amount of money doesn't really buy you much. Tynon in my opinion, has "failed".
What I mean by "FAILED" is they have shown that they care less about creating a deeper game experience and richer content that to make quick cash producing content to get people to react, and in some cases "force" to spend money to buy more gems.
If you ask anyone out there who has not started to play this game (including me) at the start of this game if you would spend ten's of thousands on an on line game, and I would have said "hell no". But what this game does is it draws you in with promises of an endless game progression and small incremental spends, and then they got you since you are now "vested too much" to quit. I know many players in my guild and realm feel this way right now. They can't quit even if they want to because they already spent too much (in their eyes). Some have thrown in the towel even after they spent the money and wrote it off as a loss and a lesson learned.
In a transparent company that is up and up, people reveal and provide transparency. Who are the tynon company business owners, who is their ceo, lead developer, director of operations, etc. Does anyone know? I cannot seem to be able to find out any of this from the web site. What is their contact and address? Something just does not seem right. After spending all this money, I still do not know who makes this game.
Also off-topic:Quote:

(now... I'm not allowed to mention similar games, but this one is a completely different structure so I'm not sure if it counts): mod remove if it does
I used to play this game, and suggest you take a look at Dofus.
Download required
Subscription based: .... but there is free to play with limited content. (I've played that game without spending anything... tons of content and room of advance without money)
Orgine system: Paying players could essentially sell subscription to f2p players for in-game money. Almost like buying power, but it takes a lot more than money to power up.
Less daily rewards: No pressure to log in each day really.
Quite a bit of farm/grind: One thing I like about tynon... but grinding turned out to be better than runing...
One hero at a time per account: Another thing I like about tynon... you get to operate the full formation with one account, so no need for alts.
Alts are pretty much encouraged in Dofus... people use them but can't really abuse them.
Bots? This was a problem that came and went and came back again... not sure if they solved it.
Anyway... I suggest you try this game for free first. Free content is actually huge. It got boring for me after I hit level 200 since it required a full (8 accounts) formation to do the harder stuff (which meant lag for me)... but they do keep releasing new things and the world is a lot bigger than this one. It's sort of meant for you to play at your own pace... you could start on a server with a lot of people already a lot ahead of you. Not a race there.
Whining so soon because of your CWF loss already?Quote:

This. You're complaining that you CANT PAY TO WIN in as much as you feel you should this game, and thats pathetic. Peeta's right, you've hit a cap of being able to out buy the competition, now actually try learning the game better.Quote:

I guess each server is different. Activity level has been going down lately in my guild. I got lots of gifts from Easter and Christimas, but not this time.Quote:

850 more gems.
10 purple medals (hardest thing in the game to acquire without gems.
Leader card (maybe even harder to acquire, but usefulness of Leader hero in general is to be desired.)
10,000 tickets. (Way better than the 10M creds in copper)
30 Tokens, only 20 less than the copper, of which you'll probably get 5-10 of in the casino.
Its easily 2-3 times better than an original copper package imo.
Yes, Whats pathetic is buying 2 99.00 packages is better than the 199.00... Really Tynon? 3k gems for 200 or 200 for 4k gems and 60 tokens, 2 hero cards and 20k tickets. (Face Palm)Quote:

And who are you to say i am wasting my money? I could blow 500.00 in one night at the club buying rounds for my friends. Is that wasting money or having a good time? Peoples perception of how others spend there money is to there own who makes it. Like i told my neighbor, When you start paying my light bill i will start turning it off...Quote:

Well... point is to make one package more desirable than the others. They could make it the $199 package to get more money per person but less spenders. I'm sure they did some statistics to test which one is better.Quote:

I was aiming towards the light down at the end of the hall. I wasnt bashing you btw. I was trying to grind to find out where the waste of money comment came from. Nothing personal. But overall, I am happy with the memorial packages. It pumps cash into the game and hopefully some new content too.Quote:

I think anyone could reach the end of the game just fine without spending anything (just not as quickly) since content doesn't come as quickly as people play it. Getting to the same point as others while spending a lot of money... well, we could all call it w/e we want.
