Planetary Annihilation: Total Annihilation IN SPACE

[Vyndicu]

Sorry I know I am late to the "party". There is a way to confirm you do indeed have an incoming package from the kickstarter. I am assuming you guy already did linked your kickstarter account with an uber account.

Go to uber store: https://store.uberent.com/Store/PreOrder?titleId=4

Ignore all of the pre-order on that page. Log in and click on "my account" on the very top right. Here you will see a summary of your kickstarter items. If you did two items (base + addon) or something then you will have to click on item within the list to expand to see full details.

Hope that clear thing up a lot for those who got "e-mail" to pre-order but did backed on kickstarter like me.

Looks like the PA alpha started today.  Don't worry Wingflier, I won't mind if you stop testing VotM and disappear for a while

I generally don't participate in Alphas, because I am too oft extremely disappointed, especially such as in this case when my expectations are extremely high.

I'll probably wait til beta to jump in.

[keith.lamothe]

Yea, in this one I got about as far as the fifth unique screen where it asked me to enter my Uber account credentials and figured I'd used all the time I had for it today

Hey Arcen, looks like you're undercharging for your alphas.

Guess so

Do not understand the logic of a $90 alpha. Pushing this game way back on my priority queue now. Maybe I'll tackle it after its released. And it's on a deep sale. Can't say I support this business model.

Probably related to how much one had to pledge in the kickstarter to get an alpha key.

Geez, that sounds like the most expensive alpha pay in I've ever heard of on KS.

They had three tiers.

Alpha - Highest backing
Beta - Mid backing
Retail - Any backing

[keith.lamothe]

Yea, the retail was only like $20, and I think it was $15 if you got in the early-bird (which had like 5000 slots).

It wasn't a scalping just to get in.  Alpha price is high, but honestly they may not _want_ a LOT of testers right now.

[LaughingThesaurus]

1. They probably don't want a lot of testers.
2. If it's a pre-release version you can get for like just 20-30$, then imagine the common layman getting ahold of it for an almost-normal retail price and seeing that the game hardly has any real features and is loaded with bugs. When you ask for a lot of money, people are far more likely to really look at what they're getting into.

[Lancefighter]

I feel like the only reason this alpha exists at all is because they want the whole word of mouth thing going on now instead of later. The amount of free advertising they get by offering an alpha, even at this high of a price, is going to be huge. Based on what I've read from their forum ,they dont really want people having the alpha at all. (minor speculation) They are only doing this because someone thought it a great idea to give people alpha access if they spent 90 dollars on a game that didn't exist.

The complaining on the Steam forum is going to be epic.

I'm trying to figure out a suitable combination of the word "Complaint" and the word "Ragnarok".
