Problem is that in euros the pack has a price of 160 dolars... That's a lot of money. Perfect World appears to use the 1 euro = 1 dolar conversion rate when the rate is 1 = 1.30 so i will not pay a lot more only because i'm from Europe.
Looks fishy to me. Notice the fine print at the bottom right

.. and of course the url goes to steamdb rather than to steampowered. Might be legitimate, but it makes me a bit hesitant. The steam store at store.steampowered.com only shows STO and the Steam starter pack for me. I would be delighted to be wrong of course -- any directions on how to find these packs for myself on the Steam store would be gratefully received.
But it looks like if I want that doff pack, I'm going to have to buy the 120 dollar Legacy pack.
Thanks for that Cryptic.
If you're spending $120.00 just for 4 Doffs, whose stats you don't even know, then more's the sucker you.
STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

I'm only buying it for the titles to be frank. I guess I must be the heir to the kingdom of fools in your book.
Shoot everyone in my fleet as well as about another two dozen other people I know are buying it and not one of us thinks it is worth the money - sad really when one considers the big discount assuming of course that you dont think the current pricing policy for the store is not needlessly high in the first place, which none of us do in fact but I digress.... The only reason we are all getting it is because we are showing support for the development of the Romulan faction and hope the extra couple thousand in revenue will go a long way when added to other purchases to promoting the development of more content for Romulans.
Now if Cryptic added Fleet Mods or extra bank, ship, BO slots or other useful things it would be amazingly better then what is being offered with the keys. It is interesting that the discount rate is equal to the keys - yes?
On a side note, The Romulan side of me assumes there is a business financing aspect the public is not aware of with the inclusion of the keys to get the price over $100 without really giving any thing in return for the money to be frank but what do I know of PWE internal operations - and I digress again....

Celebrate the upcoming Legacy of Romulus expansion by pre-ordering a Legacy Pack today! This pack contains valuable items to aid you in your journey of rebuilding the Romulan legacy.
I mean, to restrict it's availability like that and then give you something utterly useless is going to tick off a lot of your customers!
And no, I'm not stupid enough to pay 120 dollars for just doffs!
Correct my if I'm wrong but I thought everything but the titles would be available in the Z-store with the start of season 8? You will get those doffs a lot cheaper if you just buy them then.

The Legacy Pack is a pre-order bundle of C-Store items that is being offered at a big discount prior to the launch. ALl the items (except for the titles and reman doffs) will be available individually as c-store purchases after the expansion launches...
Will the disscounted version and all pre order bonuses such as duty officer pack and titles and nemesis costume be on steam ?
Currently the Paypal and Skrill options you have now DO not accept my credit cards or Debit cards.
tried buying the Legacy Pack 120 euro but it was declined.
Paypal and Skrill is the ****tiest companys in the world.
Will it be on steam in its disscounted and pre order bonuses state on steam ?
or i will be unable to buy it with the pre order bonuses couse of the bad payment options you guys choose....
If only they fix Cloaking bugg *new message BOOM decloacked.
I asked for that on steam ....I asked for subs on steam ,I asked for accolades/achievements like in CO on steam...I dont think they care
It has nothing to do with caring. It has to do with the fact that the STO team doesn't just wiggle it's nose and get to make these decisions. The Steam decision is made by PWE and the Marketing Team, not the STO team. When Brandon gets an answer I'm sure he'll pass it along - even if the answer is no.

Champions online (game made by Cryptic) has steam achievements and way better steam support.More people use and will use steam than people who know what PWE is...thats simply bad marketing :rolleyes:

CO is owned entirely by Cryptic. They don't need third-party permissions from CBS to do an ad campaign with Steam or anyone else with CO. There's a lot of legalities that go along with the ST license and how it can be utilized. Cryptic can't just do whatever it wants. Thus it takes more time.

That may not be entirely true - Champions is a licensed product as well, but given its RPG roots, Cryptic probably has a lot more leeway than in dealing with a big corp like CBS.
"Participation in PVP-related activities is so low on an hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly basis that we could in fact just completely take it out of STO and it would not impact the overall number of people [who] log in to the game and play in any significant way." -Gozer, Cryptic PvP Dev

Champions is not a licensed product. Cryptic purchased all rights to Champions from Hero Games - and then gave Hero Games a license to produce Champions RPG products. Hero Games must now ask Cryptic if it's ok for them to do or advertise a product now - just as Cryptic must ask CBS.

First question: I bought myself the starter pack a few days back and I am considering buying the legacy pack instead. Will I get a $20 discount on the legacy if I buy it or would I just be out $20?
Next question: I was thinking of buying the starter pack for my friend but now that I bought one there is no option to purchase another and even then I'm not sure it could be gifted. So what options there aside from just sending him $20?
You can't gift something for someone. The best you can do is buy them a $25.00 Zen card and then let them buy the LoR items when they hit the C-Store on the 21st.

Reach out to billing support; they have helped a few other players in this and the FAQ thread. It sounds like you'll need to purchase the Legacy Pack, and then they can refund the Starter Pack. It's definitely not automatic, so reach out to them first via support.perefectworld.com to make sure.
As for your second question, there is no gifting program at this time.

You could just save up your monthly stipend to get the ~18775ZEN worth of items, excluding the titles, DOff packs and BOffs.

Seriously, that is all that these packs are. You get to preorder various C-store items at a discounted rate. It has nothing to do with Gold/lifetime members and never should.

The first thing you need to do is relax, because you're probably operating under a misconception. The Romulan content is free to everyone who plays. You can play a Rom and you'll get a free T1 through T5 ship just as you do while playing a Fed or Klingon. You don't need to pay for anything to be a Romulan in the game.
The Legacy and Standard Packs are C-Store bundles. If you buy all the upcoming C-Store items now you can get them for 30% off their regular, individual, price when they go to the C-Store when LoR goes live on the 21st.
Buying C-Store items has nothing to do with your Subscription status. You can buy a Pack now and get a 30% discount, you can buy any of the items individually later from the C-Store for no discount, or you can choose to never buy any Rom item and still play and have fun with your Romulan.

i see stupidness runs around here rampant with you children
yes lifers should be entitled to more its only fair
so ow about unless you are a actually paying player or a lifer how about u shut your mouth and learn manners
Hi..
I am a lifer ( Since ~Oct 2010).. don't mind the forum title/join date.. that's a whole other story.
1st.. stop being rude.. not nice. And it does not fit with your.. "learn manners" part lol.
2nd.. stupiness is not a word.
3rd.. as I said.. I am a lifer.. and I think the other lifers should stop whining about wanting more and more.
Do we get special discounts ANYWHERE? for ANYTHING? no. so why would it start now?
Maybe cryptic should give something to lifers.. a beautiful romulan scarf.. same as tholian only green. Just to say HA to all the whiny lifers.. making the rest of us look bad.

Everyone just needs to relax. For whatever reason there has been a HUGE misconception on many players' part that you need to buy one of the Packs or you can't play as a Romulan in the game. I have literally posted about this in reply to someone over 100 times since the 18th.
Whether this is due to bad marketing or bad phrasing or bad reading doesn't matter. Many Gold members believe they need to buy something to play as a Romulan next month - and because of that belief many are upset that they need to spend more more to get something they feel they should get as part of their Gold status. That's an understandable feeling. Unfortunately it's a misconception.
Romulan play is FREE TO EVERYONE, whether LTS, Gold, or Silver. The Legacy and Starter Packs are just C-Store bundles. Buy them, don't buy them, buy parts part of them individually later. None of that will change the fact that Romulan play is FREE TO EVERYONE.

Darn you Cryptic!
That's one of the 3 items I want to buy seperately!
I'm not rolling a Romulan faction character until the playable race I want is released (if it is released that is!).
So, considering I'm not playing the faction, I chose not to buy the legacy packs until I actually need them (when the character is created).
Then someone told me the items will be available to purchase seperately.
And I thought, now that's more cost efficient, just buy the 3 items I want and ignore the rest.
But it looks like if I want that doff pack, I'm going to have to buy the 120 dollar Legacy pack.
Thanks for that Cryptic.

So IF I can complete the romulan rep by then I can get away with the smaller pack and buy the other two ships direct when i need them
