Hello, Noveans!

 

We're sorry for our mistakes regarding Backer Rewards in our 1.1 Update News communication. We're writing this to fix all confusing or misleading parts on which rewards are attributed to which tiers and why. If you'd like, keep this communication as a reference instead of the previous one. We have also made a list of what has been delivered and what remains to be delivered for digital and physical rewards.

Physical Rewards:

 

As mentioned in a previous communication, we had to sign with a new partner for the Physical Rewards logistics (packaging and shipping) and we had hoped to deliver the Physical Rewards for the end of this year (2022). Unfortunately, this took more time than expected. We are expecting to sign with our new partner in January 2023, and from there, we hope to ship the rewards progressively. We also had an issue with the Collector Boxes, which needed to be remade. Keep in mind that the following ETAs is just a rough estimate for now and we are not protected against extra delays:

 

February 2023: We hope to start sending Physical Rewards for Silver, Gold and Sapphire Founder backers.

March 2023: We hope to start sending Physical Rewards for Ruby, Emerald, Diamond and Kyrium Founder backers.

Later in 2023: We hope to start sending the Physical Reward (T-Shirt) for Patron backers.

 

In January next year, we will give you a status update to keep you informed about the progress for the shipping of the Physical Rewards.

 

That’s all for now!

This suggests pets that actually do something  but that isnt the case, just robots that fly around and get in the way .

So there are dozens of skins and things for OG backers. What about those of us that played beta? We not good enough to get thrown a bone as recognition for helping you test the game?

 

Everyone who participated in testing the game before release was given a Pioneer Pack. I think the only exception were beta keyed accounts but in that case they were also able to play for free during that period. Whether or not that is good enough is of course debatable but I don't think anyone was left empty handed.

I payed my sub from the first week of beta. Didn't get bubkis. Oh you mean those few little trinkets I had to PAY for? Yeah that crap doesn't count as we got tricked into paying for subs for 6 months so they could show good release sub numbers to their shareholders. Then took away 75% of the game to spoon feed it to us like they're actually making stuff.

Since launch they removed more than hadded stuff, for when removal of that new schematics system, removal of the speed curve and bringing bots back, those would be modification that would actually be appreciated

Traditionally pets are cosmetic only.  Some games allow them to give buffs, autoloot, or more but there is usually a tradeoff tied into that somehow.  In this case specifically the tiers refer to increasingly complex/decorative models.  They could just as easily given them a random model number (ex. C3P2, Mk IV, etc.).

Beta players got nothing, they weren't even considered as referrals either.  Beta invites and players that used them are nothing, worthless nothings.  Subscribe and play, be thankful you got a talent boost.  Peasant.

I just would like to say that its almost impossible to understand or make sense of the levels or tiers tied to our accounts.  The names have been changed, the benefits assigned to the original packages have all been re-listed, re-vamped, re thought,. altered, adjusted and who knows what else.  I can honestly say this though... 

 

I was proud of being a part of the game, and the earlier I was the more "status" I felt i possessed

I have been a supporting member of this community prior to it even becoming an official community

The titles and status now attached to my account sound and feel like token titles only

I have no clue what awards are even due to me at this point,  again my tier isnt what it was or even the same packages

Once the game went live... i was given some stupid game time things

they have expired and the game now requires a fee for me to continue.

 

long story short. ... i paid to be a supporter and player with early access, promised things in exchange for my loyalty..and have a game that already wants more funds for me to play and NOW your almost ready to finish rewarding us and for all my support, loyalty and patience if i give you more money now that its playable, i can log in

Any new about the patreon physical rewards ?

If it helps I reposted my ticket a couple of days ago realising it had been closed, without the update I was expecting and the response I got was the following:

============================================
Remove some text above...

I can confirm that we are still working with our logistics partner to dispatch the physical rewards for our Kickstarter pledge players, and we will be focusing on these rewards specifically at this time.
As an Alpha pledge account, we will be working to provide the T-Shirts to our Sponsor and Patron backers after the Kickstarter reward dispatches draw to a close.

At a later date, we will also open up a section on the web accounts for all Sponsor and Patron backers, so that they can select the size that they wish to receive.
We will communicate with more updates on the progress of the Kickstarter dispatches, and also when we are opening this section on the web accounts.

Please be sure to keep informed via our Kickstarter page, forums and news page on our website for when these milestones are achieved.
We would like to thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter, as we continue to deliver on our promises made to our backers.
