Greetings Colonists,
As many of you will be aware, we have been working to overhaul many of the packages and offerings available through our webshop.
These new and modified packages will roll out in stages, with the first stage being the replacement of the Starter Packs. These are now available in the webshop.
What's Changed?
With our new Starter Packs, along with the upcoming Starter Kits, we had a few goals in mind for the redesign:
- To make the choice of pack simple and less confusing
- To keep the price points relatively low
- To keep the contents of the packs focused
- To make the stats of the equipment more impactful and more cost effective to use
Approximately, using the new starter pack guns are over 50% cheaper per hour of play in regards to rate of ammo and decay consumption in comparison to the old Z12 Barbarella (via increased DPP). This makes it better for new players - and a great option for low-deposit players alike.
We also opted to include a melee weapon in the Starter Packs as well, to give players the ability to work on both ranged and melee skills right away, for a much reduced cost per hour compared to TT or other options.
We also made other changes to the packs such as much increased armor durability, protection stats and the inclusion of a Vehicle Repair Tool in the upgrade pack to prevent the long standing issue of new players being left stranded with a broken vehicle.
Starter Packs vs Kits
In this update, we are releasing the new Starter Packs, but we will follow up with profession/theme specific kits.
We wanted to keep the Starter Packs streamlined, focused, and the price point low. To compensate for this, and to do proper justice to other areas of the game, we will introduce “mini packs” (or kits) at an even lower price point that allow for player agency when investing into a particular area.
These kits will focus on things such as MindForce, Taming, Mining etc. More information on those later this summer.
