You got me for 200 dollars today. Had to buy all the enhancement storage increases, recipe increases, and salvage increases. (Of course beam rifle too)...

Oh well now I got like 10 tokens banked (Was already complete Tier 9)...

I have exerted restraint -- my 1750 points still sit there.

Also, "microtransactions", not MONSTER transactions folks ( ' ;

Restraint? When you're shopping? Why?

I managed to keep to my 1750 points I already saved up, but if my purchasing habits in Team Fortress 2 are any indication, I'm going to be at least $150 bucks in the hole by the end of this month.

Well played Paragon, well played.

Well, there's always buyer's remorse or proving the anti-MT crowd right.... but, really $350 buys me a new video card to replace my aging 8800GT... Still, have at it ( ' :

I had 1750 points. I bought the party pack emotes for .50 each.

I have a lot of points left.



Actually, I was considering buying $100 worth of points and getting some enhancement storage increases, but had sticker shock at the pricetag of $20 for 10 slots.

I just caved in and bought $100 bucks worth of points. My reaction:

I'm waiting a couple days for the software to settle down, then calculate what I need to spend to get into the top tier and all 3 items there. Luckily, not that much (on my main account - I'm posting from a 2nd account since they borked the forum login). I think it will be $90 or $105.

But I already have a monster of a computer I got for GR - it doesn't really need updating right now - plus, it was my birthday last month, and I got lots of the stuff that I wanted then, so it's not like I needed to spend this cash today on anything else

I used some of my 1600 points to get Beam Rifle and the server transfer special (was quite pleased to find I could get those with points rather than actual over-and-above money). Next purchase will be Street Justice.

They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!

I put down $50 so I could get all my costume slots (rawr!!) and after getting those, the aura/cape unlocks, the barbarian pack, backpack and Beam Rifle, I've still got about 1k points left, and nothing else I really want to buy.


... which is a shame, because I've hit T9 and need 3 tokens to get those celestial pieces. I'm very doubtful I'll be able to wait 3 months for those

Save some points for next month too - the devs have said that the Halloween stuff that'll be in the market then will be awesome

Did anyone buy the Barbarian set? I seem to be having an issue with it, I bought it but its unlocking. I am looking at the individual pieces and they still all show as locked.

Has anyone had luck? I bought it about 4 hours ago.. and have been offline since then and logged back on to no avail.

Yup, I bought it. No issues except that I hate the leather panties.

I had no problems. It took effin' forever for me to find some of the things, but I found them.

Likewise, I didn't have any problems with the steampunk costumes or the server transfer bundle.



Thank you, Champion.

Odd. i bought Barbarians, Backpack, and Beam Rifle with no issues. Also picked up the server transfer six pack.

Tempted to purchase the additional enhancement tray, but holding off on getting more for now. Got new power and costume sets to look forward to after all.

Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...

I didn't spend anything extra, but I did pick up beam rifle, the hover board, and the barbarian pack. I'm very unlikely to be making any monster purchases, but I am most likely to be spending more on the game than I used to, and really I'm ok with that

MA Arcs: Yarmouth 1509 and 58812

I picked up Beam Rifle, Cyborg bundle and the server transfer bundle. Left me with 80 points and I didn't even have to spend out of pocket!

Ended up with 30 tokens but I didn't read much about the rewards system so I didn't get around to spending the 5 unused.

Maestro Mavius - Infinity
Capt. Biohazrd - PCSAR
Talsor Tech - Talsorian Guard
Keep Calm & Chive On!

All I bought were the barbarian bundle, the backpack, beam rifle, and rocket board. That brought me only to paying $5 for the extra points to cover my expenditure.

And I'm fine with that, as that's all I need for now. A lot of items on the Market seem suspiciously like money traps.

Hahah I am right there with ya man. I bought a ton of points. They probably got me for around $300 today alone. What can I say, they know how to smooze me.

I also have 10 banked after nabbing the Celestrial Set (which I absolutely LOVE)

I bought 1200 points, if the various inventory size increases were 600 instead of 800 then they may have got more money from me. I also don't like the wording on some items, it makes it unclear whether it's an account wide unlock or individual characters (things such as Aura Unlocks) Some stuff states explicitly it is account wide, some states implicitly its is a single character and some stuff is worded ambiguously.
