131 euros to get a domi skin. Err no.
Not what I expected, would have been nice to choose a skin with 1 month subscription, but this is just asking too much from your customers really. |

LOL, CCP must really be in the gutter to demand that kind of money for ship skins.. (yes, I know gametime is included, but the gametime has nothing to do with any of the reasons you listed for buying the shipskins in the devblog)
Was Zinfandel part of this decision?

CCP Zinfandel: CONTINUE! CCP Zulu: Alllrighty then. So we also finshed the code for NeX and we where wondering what exactly you wanted to sell... CCP Zinfandel: PANTS! CCP Zulu: Cool, so do you have any pants in mind? The art devs could think of a few different... CCP Zinfandel: 1000 DOLLAR PANTS! CCP Zulu: What...wait wuh? What kind of pants would those be? Would they be like... CCP Zinfandel: JAPANESE BOUTIQUE PANTS! CCP Zulu: uh...how do we make them look like Japanese bouti... CCP Zinfandel: Put some Hello Kitty stuff on them.

(another 30 mins of awkward silence)
CCP Zinfandel: CONTINUE! CCP Zulu: Alright...so $1000 Japanese boutique 'Hello Kitty' pants. Got it. We'd also like to maybe do some different tops and stuff but wanted to know how much time we ha... CCP Zinfandel: 5 MINUTES! CCP Zulu: 5 minutes?!? You want this done in 5 minutes? CCP Zinfandel: 4 MINUTES! CCP Zulu: ****...
(4 minutes later)
(CCP Zulu returns to Conference Room 3, out of breathe)
CCP Zulu: Ok...ok. We got the pants, we got the shirts...it was just thrown together with clipart from Sixteen Magazine, but this **** all looks like total crap. I think most of it came from Justin Bieber articles. Anyways, so real shirts sell for about $19 dollars so this stuff will sell for like $1-2 or.... CCP Zinfandel: 20 DOLLARS!
(Zulu stares blankly at Zinfandel. Yet another awkward silence)
CCP Zulu: Is there anything else you want? CCP Zinfandel: MONOCLES! CCP Zulu: Like "The Penguin" or "General von Klinkerhoffen" style monocles CCP Zinfandel: ****ING SPACE MONOCLES!

Erm.....they're asking that kind of money for game time? The ship skin is just a bonus to a normal purchase of game time?
Where are you people getting the "THEY'RE INSANE FOR CHARGING THAT MUCH FOR SHIP SKINS!!!!" thing from?

Who wrote and thought up this non explanatory crap.
So logic dictates, o7 RIP Spock, 3 monthly bundles and 3 ships skins, equals 3 different ways to get them
The players will make a better version of the game, then CCP initially plans.

Funny thing is.... this is exactly what I was thinking. You have saved me from having to come up with a funny reference to monocles or $1000 pants.
BTW, we still want top/stove-pipe hats.

Man, I was really excited about this until I got to the bundle page. It's... absolutely absurd to split them up over the bundles like that.
Leaving off what a bad idea this is: Can the people who buy this at least be assured that they'll have these carry over in the new SKIN system when it debuts? |

If you usually play EVE by buying a subscription with RL cash and the subs are not far off running out it's worth taking up the offers. You can sell the skin BPCs on if you don't want to fly them and make some free additional ISK. Or you can keep them and fly them at a latter date.
If your subs are not about to run out fairly soon, or you are worried about any forthcoming changes to EVE and whether those changes will adversely affect your gameplay, then it might not be a good move. I don't foresee EVE Online blowing up in our faces in the near future tbh. Going by the Fanfest timetable this year there does seem to be a shift in the direction of VR/Valkyrie though.

So what about for us people who are already on a multi-month subscription, in fact who just re-upped a couple of days ago? Do I need to spend another $40 to get skins?

It is cheaper to buy a Fanfest ticket and just not show up, than to buy the ship skins trough the gametime offers. You can even buy the fanfest ticket with plex if you want.
Had this been announced at early bird prices, you could have bought all 3 ships cheaper than the current gametime price for the dominix.
For the people who plex their accounts, the gametime is worth nothing, so buying a fanfest ticket, taking a spot from someone who wants to go, is a better deal. |

It's a question of timing really. If you expect to still want to play EVE past your next renewal date then buy some more game time.
PLEXing is too much like 'real life' work. I'd rather do a couple of days overtime at work then its all done for a year nearly. |

I got all happy for a second then I saw the bundles... nope to this. I've already subbed my accounts for a year on two of them and have one more to do in a few months.
Why deviate from the "Plex for HD stream" thing like you've done in years past?

I think it would be appreciated if this offer was valid for a long time, like a few months. That way people who just bought new time for their accounts don't have to pay upfront for way longer subscription time than they are comfortable with.
Say, someone bought 6 months of game time a few days ago - that person doesn't want to buy a full year on top of it to get the Dominix skin. But in a few months they're going to need new game time anyway, so why not let them wait a little until they are comfortable?

First, it's awesome the HD stream if free. That is the right move.
So this offer HAPPENS to work out great for me since I normally buy a year at a time and my renewal date is in about a month. Thus this turns out to just be an extra (essentially free) bonus I get for my normal planned renewal.
However, I would be pissed if I just gave CCP $130 and then saw this. I mean kinda seems like a big snub to people who love CCP so much that they have just locked in a year of funding to CCP before all the cool stuff gets announced at Fanfest.
I think it's pretty obvious that the way they set this up ends up quite unfairly rewarding their more loyal subscribers while really punishing other just-as-loyal subscribers (just based on when they happened to buy their subs). |

Speaking to someone in game with this precise situation. Not great.
On a personal level, not being able to pay plex effects me. I pay for all my gametime through plex. And I have.....a number.... of accounts. As such I would like to have the skins on several but i'm not going to pay -ú900+ upfront for them.
If plex was an option CCP would still get the money, and I may actually buy more. |

So this means the year re-sub I just paid for my two accounts a couple weeks ago doesn't qualify? That's really frustrating. If I would of know this, I would of just paid for one month then bought the year during this. Some big bold words notifying people of this on the game time page would of helped a lot. |

This is pretty much what I did. Re-subbed a week ago and now all the goodies come out. |

Yeah, this is the biggest rub I think. I know if I just paid a full year's subscription, I'd be a little strapped to come up with an additional year immediately afterward.

Well, My monthly on my main expired on Saturday, and I waited for this.
This character paid a humble bundle sub, on a trial, hopefully to get an extra worlds collide gift if we win. I will try something I have not done before, and am playing the game in a new way.
As a result of the Skin offer, CCP gained a six months payment on my main rather than one.
So marketing is Sort of working as intended?
Happy CCP, Happy customer. seems like a win/win to me. |

You can always buy off the market. Not the best consolation, I guess, but there you go.
Tristans have dropped by a hundred mill in Jita today so far. The Vexors are holding pretty steady and the (relatively) cheap Domis are all bought up. I grabbed four of them myself and made a quick billion on the flip.
I've seen some good deals on all three BPs in a package. As low as 2b. They last about 15 seconds on the market though, so you need to be lucky and fast if you want them.

There are 86,400 seconds in a day. You just saved one of them by typing 'u' instead of 'you'.-á Congratulations, dumbass!

So please point me to this magic market where all the BPCs are stored. Thanks. The availability is obviously getting hurt by the way these skins are released, so when CCP say we can buy it from the market, it just shows how little effort they used thinking about this. |
