That's right capsuleers, we have a shipping date for the Collector's Edition, plus much more information on what you'll be getting in the bundle. CCP Doom has a dev blog letting you know all that pertinent information here.

Bitterly disappointed by the Promo Pack iffer.
I (and I'm sure many many others) shelled out for the Collectors Edition a) to support a game I've played continuosly since beta by a developer I know personally, and b) to get access to content that is unique to those who have bought the Collectors Edition or bought it from them.
Offering a large portion of the supposedly limited edition content for a lower price enormously devalues the Collectors Edition for me. I don't want a refund, as fundamentally reason a) above is more important to me, but I want to register than this feels like a slap in the face to those of us who value the "limited" in "limited edition".
I'm sure others who have pre-ordered the collectors edition will ask for a refund so they can buy the cheaper promo pack instead. |

Yup, it's really unfortunate that the only thing that's different between the Collector's Edition and the Promo Pack is the price. Especially since the stuff in the promo pack is only for people who pre-ordered the Collector's Edition and wasn't a part of the pack when it was announced. |

Unless you plan on offering the CA-3 and CA-4 to everyone for free on the Winter Expansion, it really looks like a step in the pay-to-win direction. Soon we'll have bundles that can only be bought for some extravagant price that contains rare items.
I really don't want this MMO to go in the direction of others. |

Wait, what? Surely the pre-purchase rewards are for those who PRE-PURCHASE collector's edition??? The promo pack really devalues the rewards for purchasing collectors edition.

Hm. Nyancat has a point. Bundling implants in the promo pack does have a pay-to-win element to it-- while not overly powerful, existing CA-1s and CA-2s were nerfed slightly to make room for the CA-3s and CA-4s.
I'd strongly recommend keeping the promo items purely aesthetic.

Are the CA-3/CA-4 implants going to work like Tattoos where you give them to the pre-purchasers first with the intent to release them to the general Eve player at a later date?

'The EVE Online pre-purchase items are timed exclusives, available initially to pre-purchase customers and available to trade in the marketplace. They will be made publicly available via in-game markets and promotions at a later date.'
From the dev-blog.

While the store did have a note about pre-purchase items being items that would be exclusive to the CE only for a limited time, I'm a bit disappointed that it didn't even last until the CE shipped.
Honestly looks like a money-grab before they seed the items in-game. Which, by the looks of it, will happen the instant the CE ships.
Here's to hoping that the time capsule will have some nice exclusive stuff... that doesn't require you to be in your pod. That's the last place EVE players want to be ;) |

Other than my concerns above I really am very excited about this whole thing.
My only other gripe is the game time is only for new accounts, which seems a bit silly. |

just like to say i dont approve of nerfing existing item sets to make room for pay $$$ for x stuff.
if the bonuses on the genolution set was too high, then the extra insanely rarer ca-3 and 4's should have had the lower net bonus (not like theres a shortage of ca1/2's). Basically pay lots of money to get other ppls stuff nerfed, and a slight + to your own.
Will the digital spaceship be vastly overpowered for its class too, rendering ship hulls 2 or so classes higher obsolete? lol |

Its really funny, BUT its a bit different screwing over INGAME market speculators (which is hilarious) compared to people spending real life money in order to support you.
A better analogy is that time you sold that shirt to loads of people for 1000000 Aurum then later reduced it to 2 Aurum and an exotic dancer. |

I must be reading this wrong.
First: Selling implants with REAL in-game advantages is pay-to-win. No other way about it.
Second: Selling all the pre-purchase bonus' for the CE defeats the whole purpose to having pre-purchased the CE. Not only that but now it sounds like someone who hasn't bought the CE will be able to buy this promo pack for $50 and get all the bonus', then immediately turn around and pre-purchase a CE for $100, also with pre-order bonus'. Is this correct? Two sets of pre-order bonus' for the same $150!
Third: Explicitly stating that all the "limited" items we are getting aren't limited in any way is a low blow.
Definitely going to either cancel and use this promo thing or just cancel in general. |

Pay to win much?
First you nerf our existing sets, and now you're offering a major game changing item that you can ONLY get exclusively for dishing out ridiculous amounts of money. Gnosis BPCs were fine as everyone else got one for free already and it was a limited edition ship, but CA-3 and CA-4 are game breaking P2Win items and completely unacceptable. |

Okay, so first i got really mad reading this devblog.
Seriously, i felt the anger in me growing, slowly.
But then i realized that not only i have to cut them some slack, but that they don't actually do anything harmfull.
Pre-purchasers get the implants *first*. We'll get them later, but we'll get them anyway.
One can't really call it pay2win. Most people definitely won't win, just because they use these implants before everybody else does. And it's not even a player-made item.
Cut them some slack. |

If I buy the EVE: COLLECTOR'S EDITION PROMO PACK do I immediately get the 49.99 coupon so I can preorder the full box with the discount? Or do I have to wait until the collector's edition is shipped (and possibly miss out on the limited quantities.)
Also, can I use the 49.99 coupon to get a discount if I order the collector's edition from Amazon? Little Things to improve GëíGïüGëí-á| My Little Things posts |

Pay2win eh
I tried selling the geno things in Jita early (I don't fly around with cool implants anyway, even if I only live in lowsec), and sold them for 150 million and 180 million. I figgured they'd drop in price later? But it looks like market-dolt Benny's sold too soon - a bunch were bought and the price has increased sharply
I think some other people are winning more than me :P |
