    Cthulu,

    Two questions.

    1. Do we get reward 0 every month?
    2. Is the 15k ISO a typo? Seems like it should be 1500 since 15k is an order of magnitude higher than anything else and with 1500 that makes a nice round 10k ISO total.

    14 100 HP
    15 Heroic Token
    16 1000 ISO
    17 500 ISO
    18 100 HP
    19 Heroic Token
    20 3 CP
    21 1000 ISO
    22 100 HP
    23 Heroic Token
    24 1000 ISO
    25 1000 ISO
    26 100 HP
    27 Heroic Token
    28 15000 ISO

    The player does not have to login each day one after the other, you can skip a few days and move to the next day. I'm not sure the exact amount of inactive days you skip before coming back to get the next reward though.

    Much more is being worked on, this was a system that finished now and will give players who want it a chance for more stuff. We can't wait to share the other things we are working on with you.

    Not that we wouldn't like it if it was 15k!! Just sayin'...

    But yeah it's most definitely a typo.

    so if everything adds up it would be:

    23.5k iso
    700hp
    6 heroic
    1 legendary (2 if you count sign up)
    9cp

    Thanks for the list

    Is the day zero LT a one time thing or since this doesn't auto renew do you get one immediately when you pay each month?

    I dont think anybody wil buy this except the whales.
    The rewards are just horrible
    In 28 days youll get:
    2LT : its reasonable but oml isn't in latest so I dont think its that good.
    6 heroic tokens : well great 6 2* covers wooo.....
    Only 9 cp?
    700 hp ?
    And the biggest ****** a total of 23500 iso ?
    Youll get that much iso in 3 days if you just play dpd and play pve and pvp a bit.

    This whole VIP thing is utterly tinykitty .

    Sorry! I must have messed up a couple things, i'll edit it now, thank you!

    the correct amount of ISO for the last day is fixed, that was the only edit.

    Day 0 is basically you bought it here you go!

    This is the rewards as of this week, I can't say they will stay this way forever
  • So the question I still haven't seen sufficiently answered is about the 28 rewards and missing a day. All the answers so far are still ambiguous so here's a hypothetical situation to maybe make what I'm sure we want to all know clear.

    You sign up and play 14 days in a row, collecting the sign up bonus and the first 14 rewards. Then you skip two calendar days before logging in again. Is the reward you collect on re login day 15s reward? or day 17s reward, since days 15 and 16 you didn't log in?

    If it's the former, and it's day 15s reward, does that mean your VIP was paused, and you still have a full 28 days of rewards, but it just took 30 calendar days to collect them all?

    Or do you only get 28 consecutive calendar days of VIP rewards, so skipping two days means at the end of the 28 days you're only on reward 26, but since its over and your VIP has expired those last two rewards are unobtainable?

    In mtgpq if you didn't log in 30 days consecutively you could never get that 30th reward. I'm hoping this is not like that. But from what I've read so far I couldn't really understand the format.

    So in short, if you buy a VIP do you get all 28 rewards no matter if it takes you 28 days or 2 months of logging in every other day, or do you only get up to 28 if you log in 28 days consecutively, and every day you miss means the rewards at the end are lost.

    So we get 6 heroic tokens instead of 4, otherwise it's the values from the survey.

    This also is still a bit unclear. So, if you miss two days, when you come back, you'll be on the first day you missed? But, does that mean your VIP timer continues to tick during that time? For example, if you miss two days, will you ultimately end up with 26 rewards instead of 28, and the last token and ISO are forfeit?

    Wow, you guys clearly don't understand what the term VIP means and for $10 a month...other than the first month, thanks but no thanks.

    Also great job making it 28 days so you can milk an extra month out of the year from your customers.

    if you're close to 899 or past it, this makes it even better cause you'll be getting 3 LT's a month(2 vip, 1 daily), even more if you consider the 25 CP monthly a token.

    If you miss a day (or days, exact amount of days unknown to me) the VIP calendar is paused until you come back and you start again where you left.

    Sure, I'd like more, but compared to any other purchase in the game, this is a huge bargain. Would you buy it if you got the whole package at once? Unless you're religiously free-to-play, you probably would. So getting it only once a month keeps this from invalidating every other package in the store. Giving it out a bit at a time lacks the big hit of all at once, but it's the same good deal.

    I don't really care about the bonus healing time, but it's nice to see VIP bring another benefit. I'd have preferred faster health pack regen, personally.

    So yeah, I'm in.

    Youll get that much iso in 3 days if you just play dpd and play pve and pvp a bit.

    This whole VIP thing is utterly tinykitty .

    Seven command points have a one hundred dollar value* in this game. Similarly, six hundred hero points will cost you five dollars, straight out the door. The iso also has a direct dollar value over ten dollars. Seems reasonable to me.

    Edit: *as spending a hundred dollars is the only way to purchase seven command points
