LEP statement from a first wave purchaser

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.

This is a new panic attack: what if they dont do anything after 2018? :D

Such a strange world we live in. Chris Roberts is charging for jpegs and burning down his dev studios and people keep throwing money at him. DBOBE gives us a year of free stuff and people threaten refunds...to buy the jpegs from the smouldering studio. Yeah, don't change internet, never change.
 
Here's an idea:

Since we don't know anything beyond what the 3.x updates will bring (pun fully intended), how about you just worry about your precious little LEP when you actually know that something is going to happen to it. Devs have stated there will be exclusive paid content that the LEP snobs will get. Obsidian Ant is hardly an official source of anything, unless I missed something and he now works for FD, speculation at best (no offense to the Ant, just calling it as I see it).

Worry about what you can control, and deal with anything else as it comes. As things currently are, none of us here have any control over how FD handles the 3.x updates and future paid content. We barely even know anything concrete about any of it.

TL;DR: Worry about it when it becomes a problem. As it currently isn't one right now.
 
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. .

A Valid question since frontier have changed how the game development will proceed. the only info frontier has given is in the below quote from Zac in another thread.

ZAC said:
This is a very reasonable and understandable post. Hopefully I can put your mind at ease a little.

In addition to all the content talked about at Frontier Expo, we also have some pretty cool things in the works which will be available to purchase. We're not ready to talk about them just yet so we can't give you any details but rest assured that the lifetime expansion pass owners will be looked after and will be getting their hands on premium content as part of their lifetime expansion pass before the end of 2018 and the Beyond series of updates.

I hope that helps,


Zac

Frontier have already released a road map for 2018 and your current LEP obviously includes what's coming in 2018.
Looking into what zak says it sounds like that those who only purchased Horizons will have to purchase premium content, im guessing that squadron mobile bases will be among the first premium content and access to thargoid space being another possible area where players will have to purchase access, I wouldn't be surprised if they add purchases for cmdr save slots. im guessing that premium content wont go down the route of pay to win as that would kill the games userbase.

the worrying thing is that Zac only mentions the Beyond series updates which we know is basically the 2018 road map, what happens after that is anyone's guess.
 
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).

I am not sure you know what missing in action means. The Panther Clipper and atmospheric planets are not MIA as they haven't been in action yet. Unless of course you have been playing a different version to the rest of us.
 
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.

It gets better, you are usually called a fanboy, apologiser and white knight for pointing it out...
 
Where did this latest trend of LEP paranoia came from anyway?

FD never even gave the slightest hint of anything that could mean the LEP holders would have to pay for any kind of content updates.

People are imagining things and worriying about stuff that only exist in their own heads.

Everything discussed at the expo is part of beyond. If you know about it, it isnt the premium content. They have not disclosed what the premium content is. They will do so at a later moment.
