Midnight Black (Friday) paintjobs now available

Ha! Beat me to it! :LOL:
We did?

I missed that, probably too busy whining about the lack of expansion packs due to the business model being based around all this junk instead of selling actual game content.

Probably.

Bah, no Krait MK2. Begin the rage refund riot based on not getting something I was never told I'd get, or care about!
 
So dat "Stygian" stuff is a limited offer or not?

I must say that Stygian Green looks very pretty, guess I'll buy that paint for my lovely Adder, she will look like that green scarab and 2250 arx is ok price for small fellas ;) I depleted my budget for "black friday" stuff, so what I need to do is to earn ~200 freebie arx.

Spineless from the start
Sucked into the part
Circus comes to town
You play the lead clown
Please, please
Falling to your knees, living by his story
Knees, knees
Falling to your knees, suffer for his glory
You will
Time for lust, time for lie
Time to kiss your ARX goodbye
Send me money, send me green
Heaven you will meet
Make a contribution
And you'll get a better seat
Bow to lifetime expansion pass messiah
Marvel at his tricks, need your Sunday fix
Blind devotion came, rotting your brain
Chain, chain
This is a game, stinking drunk with power
Fame, fame
Infection is the game, stinking drunk with power
We see
Time for lust, time for lie
Time to kiss your ARX goodbye
Send me money, send me green
Heaven you will meet
Make a contribution
And you'll get the better seat
Bow to lifetime expansion pass messiah
Witchery, weakening
See the sheep are gathering
Set the trap, hypnotize
Now you follow
Time for lust, time for lie
Time to kiss your life goodbye
Send me money, send me green
Heaven you will meet
Make a contribution
And you'll get the better seat
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

Yeh, but that's not from the Black album. :unsure:
 
Players who bought the game before about October 2015 got given a full set of black paints (for every ship that was in the game at that time) for free. The 'midnight black' paintjobs are those paints, which were subsequently made available for sale once per year at Black Friday for players who did not qualify to get them free.

Does a set of black paints for the original ships really equate to 'people playing since Horizons have most of the skins for free'? Even if Leppers got a few consolation skins to ease their pain, that's a far cry from the claim made.
 
Frankly, I don't get it either.

fear of missing out sprinkled on top of compulsive consumerism, carefully grown over a substrate of unhappiness with "you're special" fertilizer. just business.

Now do you spend your free arx on one of these, or do you save it for one of the shiny xmas ones (and hope you have enough by then, as you can bet they'll cost more than these!)

me? neither. 😂

my free arx budget will remain in game accumulating interests in perpetuity so braben's dataminers can analyze what i think about their business model, subtly suggesting into what particular part of his anatomy he can shove it.

Perfection.

I thought his comment was specifically within the context of the black paints. So no it obviously doesn't mean 'most paints' but does mean 'most of the black paints'.

I made that "claim" because it's not a claim. It's a fact.

When Horizons was first launched in 2015, pre-orders were given midnight black skins for every vehicle in the game at the time, excluding the SRV which didn't get skin support until later.

I know this because I am one of those players.

Got the green one for the Viper Mk4, and the last remaining MNB for the ships I didn't buy them for last year (Vulture, Cutter & Courier). That's me done until Christmas (if Chrome is offered that is).
