I cant really afford the 200$ pack now, but I should be able to before the games release.
Does anyone know if there is an option to upgrade from the 60$ pack to the 200$ pack after you have already purchased it. I would like to pick up the 60$ pack now just to get into beta this weekend, but eventually I want to pick up the 200$ version.
you can get both.... so after you drop 60$ for the 1st, you can come back later and drop 200$ to get the additional goodies. Not sure what the deadline for purchasing the founder packs is, though.
I still think they should host an event that lets you upgrade from Guardian to Hero after the first BWE. I'm sure they could convert a few and pull in a lot of extra funds in the upsell.
I would presume that Founder's packs will be availible until the Third Beta Weekend. But honestly very little has been said yet. A PWE rep did post a quick response with an assumption, but can not find that post now.
As for "upgrades" I do not see them allowing this. These are packages. This is not crowd funding. So you want the $200 package youwill need $200 to purchase. Annoying. Trust me I understand wanting, but lacking the funds. Online games do not have lay away features. But if they follow normal video game trends any "exclusive" features will be offered to the rest of us a few months later, and for less then what the Founders paid. Not for sure, but even Cryptic made "exclusive" items availible to all after claim they would not intially (see STO Preorder/CE items). Might even be able to earn them ingame, but again not a common occurance.
So it comes down to.....
- Find a way to buy now.
- Wiat for offer to be remerched via game cash shop.
This is no different than any other MMO offering a Collector's Edition and a Digital Deluxe Edition, except that you still have the option to spend nothing at all instead. Nearly every MMO does this, nearly every MMO charges similar prices. Most have physical goodies in the box for the CE, but this game doesn't have any boxes so instead it gives you Astral Diamonds in amounts that, if numbers in any way resemble those in their other games, are worth similarly to the physical stuff in other games.
Oh, and in every other MMO, people complain about the contents of the CE and the DDE, and complain about the pre-orders for same giving you beta access.
This is business as usual.

Yeah, first question I asked the CM. No upgrades. Standalone packs and only one Hero/Guardian per account.

However I bet some time after launch you will have upgrade options like ANet did with GW2.
