cookie monster -> DW: Legends. Who is going to buy shortly after release? (11/5/2011 3:20:25 PM)
Hi Guys & Gals Simple question really. Are you gonna buy DW Legends at release? I will buy the Digital Download version. The info I have is that you need Distant Worlds plus Return of the Shakturi to install Legends on top. I hear Distant Worlds may be packaged with ROTS for the new buyers. Perhaps Matrix can elaborate. Also do the Beta Testers of Legends get a free game? I presume they do!

I think the beta team is already on the job, too late to join them now [:)]

Bingeling -> RE: DW: Legends. Who is going to buy shortly after release? (11/5/2011 3:35:27 PM)
Buy? Oh yes, very much so, unless I happen to find a complete horror story from a reliable source right after release. Approximately during the time it takes me to type my credit card number. Digital? Of course, I don't want more physical stuff than necessary in my life.

Data -> RE: DW: Legends. Who is going to buy shortly after release? (11/5/2011 3:36:35 PM)
Oh yes, same here.

Nedrear -> RE: DW: Legends. Who is going to buy shortly after release? (11/5/2011 3:49:14 PM)
Bug hunting? Leave the poor Sluken alone! Racists really...[:-] I will get it, but maybe not install it until my AAR in the Shakturi timeline got a decent end. Since it is made to resemble the idea of an enterprise like ship it will be able to end anytime though.

Igard -> RE: DW: Legends. Who is going to buy shortly after release? (11/5/2011 3:55:20 PM)
Both digital and physical copy for me. Call me Mr Materialistic! I just see it as a way of showing my support for the work Elliot and co are doing.

WoodMan -> RE: DW: Legends. Who is going to buy shortly after release? (11/5/2011 4:03:21 PM)
ASAP for me [:D]

Simulation01 -> RE: DW: Legends. Who is going to buy shortly after release? (11/5/2011 4:17:23 PM)
Simulation needs a new simulation, so yeah....I'm gonna buy it. I'm a 4x junkie.... admitting it is the first step... ahhh who am I kidding... I'll never be able to lay my mouse down.

Bingeling -> RE: DW: Legends. Who is going to buy shortly after release? (11/5/2011 4:32:00 PM)
I am not a 4X junkie at all. I think I maybe have bought something GalCiv once, but not played it much. I love DW, though. I have enjoyed Europa Universalis, and played the original the most. I think DW is in many ways similar to this one. The slow, relaxed, real time setup. Currently I want to play Legends while waiting for the Old Republic...

But....don't you get a cool sensation when you press the "End Turn" button?[:D][8D] The Old Republic....kinda feels like our Republic doesn't it. "Have we not heard the chimes at midnight..." "Have we not heard the knell which summons thee to heaven or to....hell". Gosh! Whew I got heavy there for a moment....this is too much for a Saturday morning! I knew I shouldn't have listened to winds of change so early.

Shark7 -> RE: DW: Legends. Who is going to buy shortly after release? (11/5/2011 4:44:04 PM)
Uh shortly? You're kidding right? [;)] I'll be on to get it the moment it is released if I'm not at work.

J HG T -> RE: DW: Legends. Who is going to buy shortly after release? (11/5/2011 5:00:22 PM)
As Palpatine put it: "Immediately!" Both digital and physical. I like to browse my physical collections of games and movies, and I want to support Codeforce and Matrix.

Silex -> RE: DW: Legends. Who is going to buy shortly after release? (11/5/2011 5:52:34 PM)
digital / asap =)

mbar -> RE: DW: Legends. Who is going to buy shortly after release? (11/5/2011 6:17:39 PM)
Is there an ETA? I'm buying ASAP. I'm an absolute space game junkie!

Not to mention the shipping costs. [X(] It would be worse than trying to secure Igard's Romulan Ale! [image]local://upfiles/35889/17EBB0C5A35B44E3A3C2C8D4D1629240.jpg[/image]

shinobu -> RE: DW: Legends. Who is going to buy shortly after release? (11/5/2011 10:18:38 PM)
I will buy immediately!

adecoy95 -> RE: DW: Legends. Who is going to buy shortly after release? (11/6/2011 12:36:23 AM)
i might pass it up, with sots 2/skyrim/arkam asylum/battlefield 3 keeping me busy for the next few months. but i might pick it up later if the new territory system turns out good

HectorOfTroy -> RE: DW: Legends. Who is going to buy shortly after release? (11/6/2011 1:21:48 AM)
If I get a digital copy (i never buy them), will I be able to redownload it for unlimited time, or is there a time limit? Just in case my PC crashes or something like that.

Bingeling -> RE: DW: Legends. Who is going to buy shortly after release? (11/6/2011 1:34:51 AM)
For matrix I think the download link expires, but you get a new one if you contact support. If you buy a game over a network like Steam, the game is tied to your account. As long as steam don't go belly up it should be safe. At least as long as you are able to recover your username, password, security question, credit card... some of that stuff.. As for PC crash. If a PC crashes, I doubt DW is the only thing to worry about. Get a backup. Or two. I have a lazy backup method in storing stuff on a NAS running Raid 1. Mixed with DW on two different computers, and the possibility for a new download link, I feel somewhat safe. At least compared to having the game on a single computer, and on a DVD that is just waiting to be scratched

Just in case my PC crashes or something like that. IIRC Matrix will let you re-download as needed. Still I like having both the digital for immediate and the physical in case of disaster.

Gelatinous Cube -> RE: DW: Legends. Who is going to buy shortly after release? (11/6/2011 2:53:22 AM)
I definitely plan on getting it the moment it's available for purchase on the Matrix store. [8D]

Noble713 -> RE: DW: Legends. Who is going to buy shortly after release? (11/6/2011 9:31:05 AM)
Digital download as soon as feasible.

I bought RotS when it first came out (about 1 year ago) and a couple of days ago I visited the members area of the matrix website. I accidently requested a new download link somehow because shortly afterwards I received an email with a download link for RotS, not sure what I did, but this shows how easy it is to redownload your game if you have a HD failure or something, I did it by accident a year after buying!

MasterChief -> RE: DW: Legends. Who is going to buy shortly after release? (11/6/2011 2:23:06 PM)
ASAP... can't wait to get this one on my hard drive! Digital is the way to go for me!

Kalthaniell -> RE: DW: Legends. Who is going to buy shortly after release? (11/6/2011 2:25:43 PM)
digital ASAP

MartialDoctor -> RE: DW: Legends. Who is going to buy shortly after release? (11/7/2011 1:53:47 AM)
I will wait a bit myself. If it's mostly bug-free and the changes are of the sorts that I'm expecting, I'll definitely buy it.

feelotraveller -> RE: DW: Legends. Who is going to buy shortly after release? (11/7/2011 6:55:43 AM)
Exactly as the MD said. By the way is there a gifting option on purchase? Might be roping in a relative for Xmas.

Bingeling -> RE: DW: Legends. Who is going to buy shortly after release? (11/7/2011 8:12:38 AM)
If you are to give it away and use the digital download you could buy and download all install files. Store the product keys in a text file, and add them all to a cheap (or expensive) memory stick and give that one away.
