    I know many people have differing opinions on micro-transactions in a game as a whole, but personally, I wouldn't mind paying a few extra bucks to be able to use the Delta Commander. ;-;

    The Delta is now called the Invictus Commander and it's available for everyone.

    Yesterday. They unlocked the delta and renamed it invictus. Then they created a new delta that is mostly the same as the old delta.

    So, the original delta is out there, and its only available to the original group with the Cosmic Limited?

    I return to my opinion about micro-transactions.

    Since there's a "coupon code" button at the armory, it's pretty much a certainty that Uber will sell commander packs in the future.

    It's also for the custom commander owners to share their custom commanders with others.
    Via coupon code...

    Yeah why do micro-transactions when you can do macro-transactions?

    It is after all a game focused on macro.



    Just to clarify : I hate the whole concept of micro transactions. I hate it all the more since people think it's video game industry's salvation ....of all the backward things I've heard... [​IMG]


    this is why I find it funny and good that Uber is not "correctly following" the micro transaction path.

    I personally couldn't care less what my commander looked like... it could be a black and white sphere for all I care.

    I hate it too, but when its a cheaper alternative to receive exclusive content over a pack of content that's hundreds of times more costly, Im fine with it.

    At least it wont get as bad as EA....right?

    Delta commander should not be sold for a few bucks. That's a special reward for certain backers. It wouldn't be fair to them if someone else got it for a few bucks. And I'm saying that as someone who isn't getting the Delta.

    I'd be very happy to shell out a few bucks here and there for more Commanders though.

    I love the idea.
    Anything that gets Uber more development money is fine by me, so long as they don't overdo it.

    there's never any promises. that's the whole point of micro trans, you have to deal with anything the publisher decides to do, NSA style. don't be naïve.

    I agree with Brian, especially since everyone now actually has access to the "Delta" commander. The new commander should stay exclusive to the backers as they would have every right to feel cheated if someone else could buy it for cheaper.
