Hi, it's BopNSwap here with an update on pricing. First and foremost - my personal apologies for the situation. We’ve heard the feedback on pricing and we’re going to make some big adjustments:
Weapon + Character prices will be decreased in the store by 17% - 25%.
- Cryo Kinesis Masterpiece bundle with a Melee weapon 9000 SP -> 7000 SP
- Medusa Prestige bundle 4500 SP -> 3400 SP
- Eternal Guard Prestige Weapon Skins 1500 SP -> 1200 SP
- Mako Elite Weapon Skins 1000 SP -> 800 SP
- All Masterpiece character skins 1800 SP -> 1500 SP
- All Prestige character skins 1300 SP -> 1000 SP
Anyone that purchased these items before the store changeover will get 30% of the Spectre Points spent on these items added to their account, rounded up to the nearest 100.
- This rollout could take about an hour from when we update the store with the new prices, so please hang in there and we will confirm when it’s complete
- For example, if you bought the Primal Skin, you would get 1800 * .3 = 540 rounded up = 600 SP back
- This should put all of our initial spender supporters ahead of where they would have been if they purchased after the pricing changes. We deeply appreciate your support!
- If you have any issues, please reach out to player support
The Starter pack, Sponsors, and Endorsement upgrade prices will not have any adjustments. Anyone who purchased the Founder's pack / Supporter pack, and purchased the items above will get the extra SP added to their account as well.
Context on why we landed on the initial pricing:
- We are a completely free game. It’s important to remember that 90%+ of players never spend a dime on the game.
- We love our free players deeply, but we also have to pay for the servers they play on (as well as the massive initial and ongoing cost of development), so the “freeness” comes at a cost to us.
- Being a new, fully independent studio with limited resources is tricky. We're self-publishing, so every dollar you spend directly funds Spectre and makes the game better everyday.
- So we took a swing that we thought would best set us up to support the game. Turns out we swung a bit high, so we are adjusting to be better in line with your feedback.
We appreciate everyone’s support and understanding as we try to iterate to a game y’all love. See you all in Breakwater!
