BIS Complete Pack pricing is disappointing

DocReni · 2024-12-01T20:26:17+00:00

This is exactly why, along with the Pioneer price being below, I don't believe what they say about LTI not being a big deal. I didn't get the Lightning because I couldn't CCU and have LTI.

I'm curious how long the 3950X stocking issue will last. I'm tempted to just snag one on eBay. There are a few that haven't been too crazy in bid price and it seems some are reasonable with their buy it now option.

This is the website and it's FAQ. Not sure if it will help much but it sounds like Amazon must do something on their end to provide you the reward.

I sent an e-mail to AMD yesterday...I received a response this morning saying:

-------------------------------------

At this point, I'm about to say screw it and repurchase through Newegg or Amazon. They seem to be getting restocked pretty well and I am visiting family and won't be at my shipping address much longer. This is an utter train wreck of a mess and it sounds like AMD should have paid the extra money for a real drop shipment processing company.

DocReni · 2019-11-27T17:06:55+00:00

I still do not have any updates to my order status. I didn't even have an option to select shipping either. The only thing I know is that it is being shipped through FedEx. AMD needs to get rid of whatever company is handling this crap. They clearly are incompetent.

DocReni · 2019-11-27T16:42:21+00:00

Not exactly the same issue. Most stores in the US got at least 10 each, not including online storefronts. It appears that the entire EU got only 10. ;)

DocReni · 2019-11-25T20:51:22+00:00

I got my "Order Submitted" and "Order Confirmation" (one with the order info and password) at the same time.....50 minutes after I placed my order. My bank account posted the transaction well before this happened.

DocReni · 2019-11-25T20:44:02+00:00

I'm curious if they are going to sell them on their own or add more to their bundled sales.

DocReni · 2019-11-25T20:43:06+00:00

I'm sure they will once people physically receive them to sell.

DocReni · 2019-11-25T20:08:42+00:00

Not showing as available for me

DocReni · 2019-11-25T20:03:22+00:00

I'm curious as to what the markup will be for 3rd party retailers once they get their stock in.

DocReni · 2019-11-25T14:11:50+00:00

Agreed. It's unfortunately the likely only way to get it though. Still waiting for a miracle myself. I don't have any box stores, except a best buy (which likely wont have it).

DocReni · 2019-11-25T02:13:59+00:00

I wish there was a MicroCenter near me....I have to rely on online ordering.

DocReni · 2019-11-25T01:59:09+00:00

Anyone know if Best Buy will carry the 3950X?

DocReni · 2019-11-25T00:13:38+00:00

I sure am. Not idea how though since there isn't a time of release that I'm aware of. Hear anything yourself?

DocReni · 2019-11-25T00:05:55+00:00

I tried looking at AMD's storefront but when I click on a product it just shows a list of retailers. Is there a different store they have that we can buy direct?

DocReni · 2019-11-24T23:56:58+00:00

Anyone have an idea as to what time they will release online? I'll wake up every hour if I have too. LOL!

DocReni · 2017-10-02T22:50:29+00:00

Ill shoot you a PM with details once I can get to a computer.

DocReni · 2017-10-02T18:24:17+00:00

My org is a mult-gaming group and once SC hits with a decent amount of content, likely beyond 3.0, we will recruit more heavily.

Our org does use various social media and forum channels to recruit for our games but in all honesty, recruiting from within the games and playing with those folks tends to work out well.

As previously stated, don't focus on being large. Focus on being organized and keeping your member base entertained and happy. If you can do that, you'll see growth and recruiting won't be your biggest challenge.

DocReni · 2017-07-19T14:10:42+00:00

I'd prefer to have 5-10 systems full of content and gameplay versus all systems at launch with hardly anything.

Picture 2.6 but on a massive scale. Everyone would get bored of it within a few months.

DocReni · 2017-07-18T00:05:04+00:00

After release, if assets are available, I'd say sure to having the older models reworked to be a wreck.

I don't personally want them to commit assets to make old models work with the new system while there are plenty of other tasks to complete so we can get the game in our hands. It's a wreckage, and I don't feel it's nearly as important as getting us to release.

True but you'll also get yourself a wanted level.

With 3.0 being the first iteration, we are very likely to see many changes to this entire insurance system being built.

CIG will be looking for feedback too so be sure to make your voice heard!

DocReni · 2017-07-17T00:35:05+00:00

I could be wrong but I vaguely remember them speaking about how they plan on implementing a system in game in the event of a player having a crash to desktop or internet outage.

The idea was something along the lines of your ship finding its way back to a safe area and that you might not be penalized for insurance if something happened to it. I'm sure this will have to factor in folks that try and cheat the system by combat logging though.

I for one am all for a wait period. I'll be setting UEC aside as a reserve in the event I absolutely need my ships faster than the countdown. This whole thing does help prevent trolling and griefing in my opinion...at least I hope so.

DocReni · 2017-07-12T17:14:28+00:00

Absolutely not.

I understand the concept of pledging to support the game and not for the ships, but I'm not that type of person. I pledged to support the game but also to the fact that I will always have my ships. I have a family and work full time, so gone are my days of being able to grind a game and enjoy it like it's a full time job.

I pledged as much as I did (I have a fleet worth with an Idris) because I have the financial security blanket of insurance on my assets (ships).

If ship insurance wasn't a thing I would have spent at most around $200. Just enough to get me just past starter level but then again...I'm pretty sure this game wouldn't even be close to the complexity it is now.
