JBTERRA Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Hello all, I'm following DU since years and I would like to pledge. My questions are: 1) will the pledge price go lower as the game enter the beta? maybe is better for me to wait the beta to pledge? 2) I understood that from 27 aug the game will be in beta and server up 24/7. It will use the pledge DAC or DAC will be used only at the game official release? Thank you all Lorenzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, in fact Novaquark has stated they will end Alpha pledge packs a couple weeks before the start of Beta. If you're only concerned with Beta then whether it is cheaper or not will depend on how long Beta lasts. A pledge will guarantee full access to Beta while purchasing Beta subscriptions will be by the month, in increments of three. If, for example, Beta lasts 6 months then subscription would cost $38.45 versus a $60 pledge that would give you an extra Beta key and three DACs. Judging from the latest Release Roadmap which states Beta is expected to run from "Summer 2020 to Early 2021" I'd say it's likely it'll be at least 6 months before Official Release. 10 hours ago, JBTERRA said: 2) I understood that from 27 aug the game will be in beta and server up 24/7.

DACs will only be used at Official Release.

Kezzle Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I am a little puzzled about the beta keys which come with backer packs. Are they just "permission to invite someone to the beta"? Or do they come with playtime (a month? the whole of Beta?) attached? Is the beta not going to be "open to all"? FWIW, the FAQ from 6 July 2020 https://www.dualthegame.com/en/news/2020/07/06/dual-universe-faq-beta-release-pricing-strategy-and-more/ suggests that the value of the DACs associated with a pack will be based on the originally-assumed monthly sub of $15, so a DAC could plausibly be assumed to be worth a couple of months subscription once the game is released. If what I gather about the dev team and their objectives, I'd estimate that 6 months is a minimum for beta to last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
