Only the Chrome pack was given out for free...and guess what, it is free again. No one lost out on any money or plat, so it wasn't as if they charged for it in the past and now it is free. The silver jetpack is a different item, whether you want to admit or not.

STS has never told anyone or implied or 'advertised' that any item is a "one time only and will always be exclusive for ever and ever". They have never, ever said that.

I went on PL not long ago and the sets you can buy for plat are ridiculous, I bet i missed a few discussions about them on PL side.

Sam's quote was on it somewhere. Trust me, it's a lost cause. Just know this, it releases for one day, everybody has it for a bit, then the popularity of it dies down again, thus become "exclusive".

All civil a valid points, there should be no need for apologies here. The group of people I play & associate with in game all play more than your average player. Most have been around from the start & from what I understand we are all happy with the direction of the game. It is almost a mirror image or Pocket Legends in my opinion with a different theme. Being the newer version it has been fun to be a part of Shaping the game so to speak. STS can only do so much, when it comes to environment we the community have a lot to do with some of the turn outs. From the economy to how New comers see the Higher levels & how they represent themselves. The small community of people that I play with all enjoy playing Star Legends a lot but most of them feel exactly how I do on the subject.

I really do enjoy being part of the community & I hope that our opinions are not over looked.

I myself have lost out on many exclusive items. I think that the thing that people get upset about is this: When they have an exclusive vanity item that they are rather fond of and it gets re-released on DotD, it's normal to be irate. I would be too. This problem didn't plague me in PL because I had every single vanity out there excluding the founder's helm.

On SL? I missed maybe 4-5 vanities, as I didn't have platinum at the time for them. Do I regret it? Not really. Does it irk me when deals are re-released on the items I do have? Yes, naturally. What happens about the items that I don't have? I buy them. I didn't realize the other side until I was the other side. Are these items still exclusive? Yes, because still many people do not have the platinum to buy it and they are only up for a 24 hour period.

I find this an ironic proposition. Very humorous but also quite pregnant with probing wisdom.

I for one would hope that they themselves are not confused regarding the 'facts on the ground' here in SL. Yes this game (i nod to pl as well) has given birth to a very prosperous business model, but i enjoy speculating as to the source of the majority of the real enthusiasm and material involvement :ahem:

I realize that SL is a mobile oriented platform, and this begets a certain set of commonly accepted truisms regarding the nature of people's interaction with the game. However, it is my suspicion and the central idea of this muse that this common wisdom is not what it seems.

I hope the management knows how i feel, and the majority of the excellent community- :sparrrkls: - nevertheless i for one am not in the crowd clamoring for equity here.

Now, THAT would have been sweet.

Imo where it failed for this event, sts should have at least changed the color of the little jetpacks from quest. Red, yellow, green...

How hard is to change to pink, black, blue... or any other color.

Because the Google Chrome logo is Red Yellow and Green. We all should've known since Google Chrome compatibility was in beta. This coming from a guy who had a mule specifically for jetpacks :/

Ah eba... stoopid me... Forgot that each jetpack is a color of the logo.

Bah... guess theyll keep different color for other event or dotd then.

Nothin much more to say about this repetitive event I guess... ill go pvp.

I did not personally try to do this (I got my 1000 kill x3 set the first time and I was done) but I know several players that were actively trying to buy them up and corner the market. Given that I spent maybe an hour getting my second set (and the 30p silver price from yesterdays DoTD) I'd say they are now worth approximately 50 credits and speculators are highly annoyed. The chrome ones were fairly exclusive and now everyone has one, just like those annoying turkey/kitten pets..

I'm actually OK with all of this, nobody promised that those would be exclusive items and the chrome ones were always exploitable but non-tradeable...now if they start offering easy pink weapons/epic helms after the update that's another story, because those took waaay the heck more than 3000 kills to get.

...and on that note, bring on the free pets. I personally find all of them annoying as hell and as of the thanksgiving event/cat lady expansions they're no longer exclusive (500p vs 40p). At this point you may as well start offering them as door prizes.

**Lazaras** · 12-12-2011, 12:49 AM

Does the black jetpack have anything stat-wise after the promo event is over?

Because i just got mine... like a couple minutes ago.

**Garvhoz** · 12-12-2011, 01:06 AM

I kinda liked that they came back I did get all four jet packs in the beginning which took awhile, but I gave my colored ones away too people that were missing that one color I had I let them keep it more room in my inventory but all I wanted was the black one so it didnt matter

Then when i saw they came back I thought
" again...YES another black one for me"
When I saw that they lowered the kills I thought
"hm if I knew they would have done this I wouldn't have had to go crazy for a while"
Then when I got all the other three colored ones I decided to keep them to show I did it without the trading of others

Bod are you sure the Silver Jet Pack was being given out for free? I saw it in the DotD for 30 plat. It was originally 50 from the plat store I think.

Jet Packs were a miss for a lot of people anyways. The black ('chrome') pack is kind of ugly and sits way too low anyways, which is why you hardly see anyone at cap wearing a jet pack. Everyone, including myself, were very excited for the original jet pack release, but ended up disappointed with the looks, especially after we pointed out their poor position on our backs, and simply wore them for the speed boost until the event was over.

And now they're back again....can't help but LOL at the people who invested a bunch in them...not gonna say I told you so...but...yeah.
