Should i purchase now...or wait

What a relief!

Thanks for the quick reply! I've read about the gamma but supposed that it was reserved for backers only. If you're right, I'm completely satisfied with paying the extra!
 
wait for the reviews, don´t make the same mistake I made listening to "fans"

Why are you still bothering to post if the game upsets you or are you here just to be a pain.

OP, if you want to play now then buy it, if not then it's going to be December 16 before you get the chance again
 
The only thing stopping me from buying the beta is the 'free access to Sol' perk. I want to work my way towards that, not have it handed to me on a plate.
Heh I just the opposite I'm glad I can go directly to Sol and fly around.

To the OP. If you are sure you want the game then get beta now. You get some cool perks for doing so, you get a chance to practice before "showtime", and the difference in cost is fairly trivial.

I think maybe our secondary starting location may be in Sol. Maybe it's optional?

It may be best for the game if alpha/beta players started in a different location than everyone else on release day.

Wait for the reviews? Who cares about the reviews? This is a game i've been waiting for decades! I got the beta access and did not regret it. Maybe this game isn't for you Irre, it's not for everyone. And if it isn't, why bother? Why are you still here?
 
You still get access to the gamma, so you can play as soon as gamma comes out that's 3 weeks play before official release.



If you plan to buy the game anyway its just a matter if you think 15£ is worth 3 weeks of extra play.
Thanks...
I just brought beta because of this
3 weeks to practice
25%off ship insurance
And apparently access to one of five extra ships (anybody know anything more about this?)
New pc ordered on Friday due to arrive wednesday and going to order a hotas today...
Might play the original for a couple of days whilst I'm setting up properly

Most of the logging in problems the last day or so are due to the update going a bit wrong.
Some people have individual problems but as I haven't crashed since beta I would say the game, as a whole, is stable and very playable

I think it's really easy now:
- Mercenary edition is cheaper (10 euro)
- Mercenary edition has extra goodies
- When buying the Mercenary edition you can play the single player missions NOW (and earn some really valuable experience)

It's a no-brainer imho
 
I bought the Mercenary Edition two days ago, but I only have access to Battle Tutorials. But even only with these tutorials I can see how amazing the game is. I am happy with my purchase, and I haven't even seen all the features of the game :)
 
Out of interest, and hopefully without being rude, are you still playing? If not why stick with the forum?

The fact that you are still here indicates that;-
1. the game still interests you
or
2. You want to put other people off buying it.

If the answer is 2 what is your motivation?
Thats a bit paranoid, lol.
 
So...all you guys that have /are playing ED,even with (if youve had any) issues that are still plaguing some people,would you still recommend on your honest opinions
for me to take the plunge and grab ED before the 16th.Are you happy with your purchase? and would you purchase again in a heartbeat knowing and playing it as you guys have

Well, Adger. To save money, buy the Mercenary version! It kinda sucks that you won't be able to play the game until release. But hey! Release date is now VERY close. And the other bonuses are getting a discount on the price and added extras for buying early. So, it's kinda a no brainer. GO BUY IT NOW!
 
Thank you all for your replies.My missus is buying it for me tomorrow,so il see you all (fingers crossed) on the 16th

Stay safe Commanders ....best Christmas regards..Adger and family
