LEP statement from a first wave purchaser

Why all these people suddenly worried that our lifetime purchase isn't going to be lifetime anymore? The thought hadn't crossed my mind that that sort of thing would happen.
 
I'd be more concerned about Braben suddenly deciding that Elite: Dangerous is finished in its current form, than one year later dropping Elite: Deadly, or whatever the name of the next iteration in the series will be. The LEP won't mean jack then.

As for a refund, I don't think they'd grant one at this point anymore. On the reasoning that the player in question has already made use of his lifetime expansion pass by playing some of the content it provides. May I remind you all that originally, some refunds caused by the offline mode story were denied, before launch, on the basis that people had already played the beta version of the game?

Not saying that any of this is going to happen. Just pointing out that there's not really much players can do, if for some reason they feel that FDEV isn't holding its part of the bargain. The only thing they can do is vote with their wallet, on whatever their next purchase will be.
 
I'm still trying to think of a controversy that exists only in my own head but I can assure you that when I do think of one, if FDev ever do it I will be asking for a full refund of my LEP, a personally signed letter of apology from David Braben and Sandy, Ed's biscuits and probably a small annuity. And I don't even have an LEP!

Weps you missed part of the story it seems with the offline mode debacle http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2...und-policy-following-no-offline-mode-backlash

As for Lifetime being consumed: It will be only when the promises made are fulfilled (Panther Clipper MIA, breathable planets MIA, etc).

Many souls died on the offline mode debacle hill are you sure you want to reopen old wounds?

As for the promises was it explicitly said by Frontier that the 2 things you mentioned are included in the LEP?

Do you not also think it would be a brass neck to ask for a refund 2/3/4/5 years down the line when?

I won't grandstand and will say just the following: Lifetime expansion pass best mean Lifetime expansion pass, IE access to all future paid content. Couldn't really give a damn when said content arrives merely that I have access to it (frankly for 40ish euros I don't expect a deluge unlike the second wave which got it for 100+ euros) as I do intend to come back to this game in the not too distant future.

If paid non-cosmetic content is launched and LEP holders don't have immediate access to it, however, I will ask for a full refund and go spend that money on Star Citizen or X4:Foundations though I obviously would prefer to avoid this conclusion if at all possible.

In other news I demand there will be oxygen on Earth tomorrow, else I will refund and move to another planet.

Thankfully I suspect we can both rest easy.

This is absolutely hilarious :D

Dont be rude, you shouldnt expect people to think powerless threats over nonexistent events through. ;)

We can start a Class Action if FDev turn ED into that fishing simulator, if you want.
 
Beyond is free for everyone, wether or not the Krait and the type 10 will be premium ships however....
If they have the same stats as other ships then it is not pay to win but purely cosmetic so....
Then again....premium ships who ever heard of such a thing?!

ps can someone return my socks please!

Everything mentioned at the expo is beyond, including those two ships. There will be additional paid-for content. We dont know what it is, we do know lep holders get it for free.
 
While we're on the subject, if FDev decide to turn ED into a fishing simulator at some point in the future, I'll be vigorously seeking a refund. :mad::mad::mad:

What about a hunting sim? Would you be okay with that or does it need to include zombies and dinosaurs before you'll sign off on it?
 
Oh and what got me to start the thread: Something in Obsidian Ant's latest video..his phrasing suggested that there may be a move to eliminate LEPs to monetize the game more completely as I doubt the LEP contingent is small in the overall active community (considering that once upon a time LEPs were 40 euros or about 60 USD).
.

So on a You-Tube video that is made by an independent content creator, the independent content creator used a phrasing from which you inferred that there is a move to eliminate LEPs to monetize the game more, and ...... that .... is evidence of anything, at all?
 
Ok now I get what the posts are about. But what's the context of the threat? Why does OP think they won't have "free" access to the future non cosmetic content as a LEP holder?

People freaked out about fd 'not adding core changes'. Fd held an expo announcing some core changes. People freaked out there was no paid content in 2018 announced. Fd assured them there would also be paid for stuff in 2018, free for lep owners. OP sees that post and freaks out becausecFD doesnt mention 2019. He then threatens to refund, which he cant, so he can use the money on another game, that doesnt exist but does intend pay2win.

Just see these forums as online kindergarten.

krait is part of Beyond- it’s free.
 
Is the great LEP freakout of 2017 still not over? I took a leave of absence from Deranged Discussions and return to find still yet another LEP'er freakout thread on the top page.

What is it that has some of you dudes so scared? You'd think Braben just anounced that ED will be completely free forever from now on and tore up his LEP live on BBC News while laughing maniacally as the Soviet Flag is raised behind him.
