News Lifetime Expansion Pass Holders - Update!

Thread Closed: Not open for further replies.
The problem with a roadmap is that FDEV feels it ties them into things and on some occasions there has been a backlash when roadmap features weren't actually kept. I think though the community handled the dropped features from Chapter 4 very well (on the whole). I for one would prefer more information even if that plan is subject to change in the year ahead.
 
Unless those paint jobs can be applied to the ship of your choice, it's pretty useless. I only use two or three ships in the game, and I'm certainly not going to start using ships I don't like just to see a paint job. Stuff that is more broadly applicable to any ship (ie nameplates, lights) would have been a better way to go.

Unless, of course, these six paint jobs happen to apply for ALL ships like Midnight Black was back in the day... in which case I'd be a happy camper ;)

Still, nice to be remembered and looking forward to more LEP news
 
This bundle will include two festive bobbleheads and six all-new paint jobs.
Only the bobbleheads are festive I hope... don't like festive stuff at all, because it's quite useless for the most of the time. And the 6 paint jobs are not a typical package of one kind, are they? ;)
It's nice to see this kind of gesture, but there is a huge possibility, that this package is not much of a value for some oder many of the LEP owners.
Would have liked to see a get some freebies of our own choice to make sure we get the most out of it.

But lets wait and see... :) it's too early to judge.

And "include" means there is more in this bundle, otherwise it should mean "contains", right? :D

Just checking...

Has anyone apportioned the blame onto an innocent one yet?
 
Greetings Commanders,

We wanted to give you an update on the Lifetime Expansion Pass (LEP) content previously mentioned in Zac's post here.

We're pleased to announce that the wait is over! If you're a Lifetime Expansion Pass owner, read below for the details on what we'll be sending your way - and when you can expect it.

What Lifetime Expansion Pass holders will receive:

Alongside the Beyond - Chapter Four launch tomorrow, we will be adding a new gift bundle of store items directly onto the accounts of all Lifetime Expansion Pass owners. This bundle will include two festive bobbleheads and six all-new paint jobs.

We'll be emailing the details of the bundle to all LEP owners as we upload them, so keep an eye on your inboxes for all the details. Each item we're sending your way is completely new and has never before been on sale, so we know that each LEP owner will get the 100% of the value from the bundle.

We would like to take this opportunity to once again thank all of our Lifetime Expansion Pass holders, for their continued support, dedication and passion for Elite Dangerous!

We will also be making the majority of the new cosmetic items from this bundle available in the store at the same time tomorrow, so non-LEP owners will be able to purchase these items from the store should they wish. Some select items from this bundle will be made available over the festive period instead.

If there are any questions, please post them below and we'll endeavour to answer them!

NMS gives me more content, value and fun actually (for free).

Keep your goodies and focus on development please.

LEP owner here. Still waiting for new content.

REPORTED FOR TROLLING! You can´t be serious.
 
Fdev,

Quite frankly that is absolutely DISGUSTING. I paid over £120 for the product when Horizons was announced. I was purchased what was described to me at point of sale as a Lifetime Season Pass. All I have received is the same as what people purchasing Beyond have received for less than 1/3 of that price. I did not purchase Bobbleheads, nor did I purchase paintjobs. I purchased a lifetime of seasons. In UK law goods must be fit for the purpose they were bought for and be as described, I would argue strongly that this does not meet either criteria.
I am so furious I have wasted over £80 for nothing. That is a LOT of money. I will make it clear here and now that I do not intend to let this matter go. I will be contacting your customer services about this issue and if it is not resolved with a reasonable refund then I hereby inform you that I will be taking action via the small claims court until the matter is dealt with. Sufficed to say I will not be purchasing any further products from Frontier unless this is dealt with acceptably.

Good day.

^This!
 
But you haven't seen the extent of the Lifetime Pass yet.... It's only just started to get going. We got Horizons for free and everyone else had to buy it as an expansion and the next one we'll get for free and so on. I don't know what you expected?

Why do people say it´s free when you pay 120 € + 60 for the base game?!? It´s not free!

[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Tahoma,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif][FONT=Verdana,Arial,Tahoma,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif]Apologies if there are errors of English, below I put an original letter in Spanish in case clarifications are needed.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Tahoma,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif]I speak on behalf of several users with LEP, and after this they are disappointed.
The information as presented presents the understanding that these LEP users must conform to paintings and small store extras.
In general in them, two arguments:
A) It seems that Frontier gives them a small gift to settle and be calm
B) Lack of rigor with these admirers of Elite Danguerous who collaborated more actively within their possibilities believing in their project.
At a particular level, it seems a little seen over a shot and conform, and I think not.

This is not the way things should be, official things can be said, such as commenting on an important and payment expansion that will be very influential in the game; and these LEP holders will not pay anything.
But to inform it in a more concise and clear, not in the past that seems a mockery to the LEP that months ago that Frontier would propose a store items.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Tahoma,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif]And no, the LEP holders do not look for that, when they need it they buy it in the Frontier store.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Tahoma,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif]Hablo en nombre de varios usuarios con LEP, y después de esto están decepcionados.
La información tal como la presenta da a entender que estos usuarios de LEP, se deben conformar con pinturas y pequeños extras de tienda.
En general en ellos, dos argumentos:
A) Parece que Frontier les da un pequeño regalo para se conformen y estén tranquilos
B) Falta de rigor con estos admiradores de Elite Danguerous que colaboraron de forma mas activa dentro de sus posibilidades creyendo en su proyecto.
A nivel particular me parece un poco visto por encima de un toma y conformarte, y creo que no.

Asi no deben ser las cosas, se pueden decir cosas oficiales, como por ejemplo comentar sobre una expansión importante y de pago que sera muy influyente en el juego; y estos poseedores de LEP no abonaran nada.
Pero afirmarlo de forma mas concisa y clara , no de forma pasada que parece una burla a los del LEP que hace meses dictaron que Frontier les propondria unos articulos de tienda.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Tahoma,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif]Y no, los poseedores de LEP no buscan eso, cuando lo necesitan lo compran en la tienda de Frontier. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Tahoma,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif] Quieren rotundidad clara e firme del futuro de Elite, y mostrar un apice de lo posible futuro sin revelar nada que afecte en gran medida al desarrollo, pero creible
gracias[/FONT]

That's a pretty unreasonable approach since the lifetime of the game isn't over yet and they are currently in full production of the next paid major expansion. The skins and bobbleheads are just their way to say sorry for the long time it takes them to deliver ther promised content.
^^^ this ... I came to this thread wondering how long before the complaints started ... didn't have to scroll far.

The lifetime pass holders still have exactly what they paid for. The lifetime of the game is far from over and next year FD are working on a "whole new era for Elite" which the "lifetime" pass will, by definition, cover. So this thread is simply saying "sorry if you feel cheated because we gave Horizons away for free, in the meantime here's some bonus stuff for you guys to tide you over". If you genuinely believe that's DISGUSTING then you might want to re-think what an LEP is. It's an insurance policy for an uncertain future where you don't have to worry about paying for any chargeable content that may appear farther down the road. No ETAs no guarantees.
 
At this point there's absolutely no reason not to produce a REAL roadmap (not the non-roadmap that appeared at the videogame show) that covers the next 2 years.
Let the LEP holders see what's up.
IMHO that would generate some goodwill.
