just like to know the poll before going for it.

just like to add this...its been there for few days but why on BPs it was just 24 hrs

AlphaCent · 30 Sep 2015, 10:19AM

I brought 3kg of Bacon... Will buy gold again when i don't wait 14 days for a reply on a ticket.
Would hate to see support times in the poor under $50 people werent stopped from ticketing

kim_p · 30 Sep 2015, 10:20AM

Havent and will not before i see some progress in the game and that i can trust them. Hoping for the best

if i dont win i lose · 30 Sep 2015, 10:22AM

im still not happy enough with the game to coin, more changes are needed. the bonus on the small coin offers is way to small to tempt me too.

dpickle · 30 Sep 2015, 10:24AM

so who all has paid the 200 bucks? lol

DazzXP · 30 Sep 2015, 10:39AM

I did it's a bargain for the $200 should keep me going for about a year, so long as i resist the temptation to not coin things outright. First coins i have bought in about 6 or 7 months so.

kixeyeuser_1375899974939_12324_161649786 · 30 Sep 2015, 10:44AM

i get paid on Thursday so Kixeye limited me to not buying any since it ends on Wed. morning

Archangel_1 · 30 Sep 2015, 10:53AM

Coins are the Kixeye "fix all". Thought they might have actually listened to the players about the need for a 2nd shipyard when they announced the OP7 upgrade that would allow upgrading of the Shipyard. But NO, we get more fleet weight to increase the build times per fleet, still restricted to just ONE ship at a time and ever increasing length of time. So no thank you to the false "double coins" offer (only on the $200 premium cost). I'll sit and wait and play the game less and less. Far too many hulls already backed up and waiting for a Shipyard time to open to build them. 3 months per fleet is enough to mandate part-time play. Cannot enjoy the game when you have to spend like crazy to have any hope of staying competitive. "Double Coins" is just Kixeye telling all of us that only if you spend like crazy can you hope to have fun instead of drudgery. And did I mention 10 hours to refit ONE Blade Missile onto ONE ship (you can do the math for an entire ship/fleet) while everything else continues to wait for Shipyard time? "Coins". Yes, that is the standard and ONLY answer we get from Kixeye. No, not going to buy.

WaterDog · 30 Sep 2015, 10:54AM

Why would i want to purchase anything from a company that cant get things right from a company that still has major bug issues with it's game and seemingly ignores its customers? Looks like nothing but a coin grab to me. I will start purchasing coins again after kix fix's most of the issues.. Good luck Kix.

King Pin · 30 Sep 2015, 10:57AM

Would have bought some but don't have the money till Friday,so Kixeye out of luck since they limited it to 24 hrs. and made it in middle of the week.They hard been smarter with the offer they would have warned us and then made the sale start on friday morning.

Rammstein · 30 Sep 2015, 11:03AM

Being a minimal, lately non, coiner this deal would never have appealed to me. However, the reason I am staying a non now is this is the first time I've actually thought the game was dying and is just money grabbing as a last gasp. Even if kix had maintained positive public relations, flash is being killed off, so the clock is ticking.

hitman · 30 Sep 2015, 11:04AM

I didn't actually buy any as I get paid mid month but I will take advantage of this offer if it happens again at a more convenient time

EvilGeniusReborn · 30 Sep 2015, 11:08AM

Fundamental problems (repairs and build times) of the game still isn't fixed so unless the 100% extra free goes across the range of spenders ($10 to $100) then I'm going to pass on spending €180 on virtual money that could disappear tomorrow.

ppalley · 30 Sep 2015, 11:10AM

At about 60% off, the $200 sale is the only one I'd consider a "sale" (the rest all come out to about 30% or less) for vapor tokens. But, as I said elsewhere, Kixeye's recent history has stacked the cards against itself and at this time has made me unwilling to put that amount of money into the game in one go, so I'll forgo the offer at that price point.

Specialist aka Specs · 30 Sep 2015, 11:13AM

I did not buy this time, mostly because there has not been a long enough period of time of them doing the things I like. I am still shell shocked from the last time they went horribly wrong and then did a month of positive changes, which I responded with my usually spending. This time I am not rushing back in. I hope that Doomrooster takes this back to them, that even though I am happy with the changes this week (less content, and the gold sale) it needs to keep going to get me to open my wallet.

With that said, quite a few in my alliance bought the $200 package. They have not purchased since the last raid, and this was too good for them to pass up. A few more people I know purchased the usually $50 that they would buy before the raid. I would be surprised if this was not a good thing for the end of the year numbers.

Mad_Scientist · 30 Sep 2015, 11:15AM

It was not geared toward a low coiner like myself, so I passed. I cant justify spending $200 on a game, let alone a game that had yet another flawless update yesterday and takes action on what they hear from the player base (yes that was sarcasm)

paul.frenette · 30 Sep 2015, 11:24AM

No more coin. I play free now..... ah so I just don't play. fck kix

LUCKY996 · 30 Sep 2015, 11:27AM

The ball is in kix's court now. If they want my money, they know what they have to do.

kris1019 · 30 Sep 2015, 11:33AM

I look at it two ways. I took their offer and am now set for coins for the next few months at a reduced rate. Or if Kixeye shuts down BP because of the potential flash issues I can dispute the charges on my account for services not rendered for any of the unused coins.

smokie363636 · 30 Sep 2015, 11:39AM

I vote massively lowered repairs and none of my money until then

alexander.deneault · 30 Sep 2015, 11:54AM

Since they did not stand behind their Facebook message and honour this offer, I felt deceived and cheated and did not purchase anything. I am a big gold spender.

was better to do that when the raid starts

Hey dumbass! For the last time it says that the BONUSES are doubled. Not the ENTIRE package. No go see a doctor to get your head examined.

you wernt cheated it says gold bonuses the gold amounts look at the usual bonuses they have been increased, but still not enough to make me coin... let alone spend an insane amount of 200$ to even get the sale part out of this.i would spend 10$ for 200+ gold if not 105 gold+ a few days worth of ship build tokens because why not 10$ is acceptable but defiantly none more unless some serious changes are made to the game.

Corp. Punishment · 30 Sep 2015, 12:33PM

If the geniuses that planned that release had done it on or after payday, they probably would have gotten more takers. Never, ever do a short sale at the very end of the month, before payday. Simple economics there fellas. Should have waited until the beginning of the month. Kix wonders why they keep losing money, smh

angelb · 30 Sep 2015, 12:41PM

I bought because I am fortunate to do so. I did ticket Kixeye on the horrible timing of it all. I explained that after the first works for folks like me and other get paid twice a month.

So , fellow pirates, send in a ticket stating the bad timing, ok?

smokie363636 · 30 Sep 2015, 12:44PM

If you have not got 200 bucks before payday I suggest you stop spending money altogether on pixel games and open a savings account.

Seriously.

CaptDeadEye · 30 Sep 2015, 12:48PM

bandaid and they win (more revenue) we need much more

First I'd like to say I didn't buy because they haven't changed anything. When I see real change I'll reconsider coining. Now to disputing the charges , there is a 90 day limit anything after that amount of time you can't dispute. If say FB stops supporting flash games at the end of December that will be almost exactly 90 days.

DiRtyFoZzie · 30 Sep 2015, 12:54PM

Kix have given me no incentive to drop coin anytime soon, until they sort the game out I will be spending very little no matter how much extra gold they offer me. Actions not offers

BlackPoops98 · 30 Sep 2015, 12:59PM

I like to coin the last few hours of researched and builds when I see they are going to complete while I am AFK so I like to have just a little coin available. Since I was down to 24 coins I went ahead and used the special to get 110 gold rather then buy later and only get 105 gold.
