I wouldn't want to spend money on a pack without knowing what I was getting
Moonface elf with unknown racials and abilities
Offensive companion with unknown abilities
LOAMWEAVE - rooting in pvp could be very useful, but no clue on % chance, duration, etc
Is there anymore details then just the one liners?
"Now, what we got here is a little game of show and tell. You don't wanna show me nothin', but you're tellin me everything."
Corporate greed at it's finest. Yes I know I don't need to buy it and I will Not, bought the founders pack if I buy this I will have paid the price of 3 games just for a cpl mounts and companions and 1 race, LOL no thank you. Rip off. So I will be joining the second class gamer's who can not afford to keep up.

What's to keep up with? I didn't know mounts were some kind of progression lol

2nd class gamer? Im sorry but I dont feel like I am less important just because I dont have the new shiny pixels. But thanks for informing me of how you feel about people who dont pay to play. Now I know what foundry quests to avoid.

Corporate greed! Really not seeing the "greed" here. It's called a business. How are you a "second class gamer" if you don't have a unicorn or moon elf?
So the stone of earth is a necklace ? That makes it pretty much useless.
Well, it could be amusing as change appearance fodder if you like hovering pet rocks. A mage with the orb that looks like a rock shard, a decent neck item changed to look like this, and an ioun stone would be have an impressive orbital junk collection...

See that is the type of over the top nonsense no rational person can agree with.
2nd class gamer really? I didn't know gaming was your sustenance. :rolleyes:
Unique Moon Elf Race - New Race $10 (?)
Unique Dawn Unicorn Mount - Presumably it's an epic mount $30
Unique Sylph Companion - $20-25 (?) <- epic (purple companion).
Unique Moonsilver Regalia Fashion Set - $10
600,000 Astral Diamonds - $17
LOAMWAVE - Possibly just fluff
Stone of Earth - Good for tanks I guess and maybe GWF $15 or $20 (?)
1 Extra character slot - $5 bucks
Heck let's say the costume cost $10 so you already get the value you paid for $60 even without the mysterious companion, loamwave, stone of earth and new race. All in all I think it's a good deal if you want to "buy" into the game.
Unless more information has been released that I don't know about, the quality of the mount and companion hasn't been detailed. I hope they are of purple quality, and that would make sense, but I would like to see that confirmed.
Edit: There seems to be a FAQ I missed, so I'll look for that.

All I have to say on the subject is about the unicorn mount. LOL! Really, Cryptic? First a spider now a unicorn? What happened to cool but "normal" mounts? Not wasting my money either, just like I decided not to waste my money on the Founder-turn-Neverwinter packs.

I have a couple of questions for people that have a little more knowledge in regards to packs and what not.
1) If i buy the 59.99 pack do i get the contents of the 19.99 pack as well. (specifically the ring and bag?) It doesnt show it as being included but having no previous experience was not sure if it was a give in that big pack included small pack.
2) If i dont like the idea of riding a unicorn can i sell this mount or trade it for another 110 mount? (is it account bound or something?)
3) Same as 2, with companion(s) included?
Appreciate any responses and apologize if information was easy to find. I did read the info page about the pack and anything else i could find and it did not seem to explain.

You get the contents of one pack or the other. Not both. Also, pretty much everything in the Founder's pack is bound and non-sellable.
It's not worth $150 that's for sure. I calculate it at most it's worth around $100.00
I think it includes a gift pack of items of mounts, pets, fashion sets and more, in many of the other PWE games. Actually it is well over $150 worth IF you play all the other PWE games too.

Bummer.
I really want to find a way to support the game financially, but everything seems to be a pack which only has like one thing i want, or the cost seems very inconsistent with what i would expect from an impulse buy, or a hey cut out some grind buy.
The only thing i have been able to justify getting so far was my ioun stone and a respec (silly i didnt get a free one, thought i read that people do...).

It is a scam---I bought the founders, with the hope that the game has some future value....I was wrong!!! You cap out and then there is nothing to do...so you get a new race--you get to run the same missions, over again, and for what? Nothing of much worth. It is a suckers grab and pretty soon this game will go down the tubes like many MMO's. There is NOTHING to keep people playing, other than the so called "free" word. Free until you find out you have to actually spend money to advance in the game.

Not really interested in riding Andahar, there will be hundreds of thousands who will though so much so that it will drown out all the screams of rip off.
from a money making standpoint the pack is a very smart move, but with Drizzt and Andahar clones under every rock, it firmly puts the game into something you just can't take seriously, Doesn't make it doom or fail, just a lot more lighthearted.
The days of serious MMOs seems to have ended. I approach this game as a silly romp in a fantasy styled Renaissance Faire with lots of children in the crowd.

I wouldnt even call this a mmo.
Its a cash shop with a half game attached to it.

Yeah its totally different then most of the other F2P games out there. I mean at least there arent any F2P MMOs out that have you pay for dungeons (DDO) or quests (LOTRO), nope Neverwinter is the worst out of all of them because when you buy a $30 mount off the cash shop all over your characters on your account will get that same mount.

60 Euro for a new race.
Makes you wonder howmuch class 7 is going to cost. 200 Euro?

Oh, right, because that 1 race is going to be the ONLY race ever worth playing once it comes out. And it's not like you get a ton of other things for that $60 too.

60 Euro is the value of a full AAA game these days.
This is just some pixels.

Yup the 60 euro ONLY gets you that one race. Not anything else that might have value as well. Only the race.

Uh, aren't all games just pixels (or bits)? Seriously, your argument does not make any sense.

Anecdotal opinion means nothing. And I never said it was a AAA game.
