    How do you get premium? All i see that 3 days premium costs 550 credits. 700 credits costs 0,79 euros. So are you telling me with normal full version game price you got ALL 3 days premium?? This cant be right :D

    Where im going wrong here..? Even three months costs super. Im not getting something. There is other way to buy premium than this credit system?

    Wow. I definitely kept this thread on my radar after I read Eli's first post. I have no intention of playing this, but it's pretty wild this game gets people so fired up.

    LOL... He's always been childish and whiney. A few people have tried to explain other side of things (me included, and you apparently), and he starts arguing. :)

    Anyways im done with the thread, im enjoying the game, and im subscribing just after my wedding so i can maximize the subscription.

    Good luck with whoever else tries to argue regarding Madfinger's games and their pricing model decisions! I have to say though... I love Madfinger for the games they have offered.

    PROTIP: Once a person starts attacking another person, be it by attacking their morality/physical well-being/mental health/perceptive faculties/ANYTHING about that other person for ANY REASON, both sides LOSE because they become preoccupied with "defending" themselves against a supposed "attacker", under the assumption that "the best defense is a good offense". Then, the shoe switches to the other foot, as the first "attacker" now has to "defend" against their "target".

    Once this pattern starts, the original topic of discussion is lost amid the flying punches and the slinging of curse words. As a result, the disagreement that started the whole debacle reaches no resolution, even if that resolution is "agree to disagree".

    Thus, both sides automatically lose because they waste time, effort and energy on an activity that does not benefit them in any way, because there is no real way to "win" with this pattern. If someone is attacked, their first instinct will be fight-or-flight, and when things get heated the emotion is going to be the more likely guiding principle than any other rational thought or reasonably true fact. Thus, both sides start fighting, and they are not likely to stop unless a.) someone breaks them up, b.) one of them stops, c.) one of them gets so hurt and enraged that they go berserk to desperately try to bring an end to the madness which shocks some sense into the other person, d.) one of them runs away, or e.) something else that does not come to my mind at this time. Notice that I could not think of any positive outcomes; I'm sure they exist, but I haven't experienced any of them myself, on average.

    There are ways around this pattern: Ignoring the attack and staying focused on the original issue is very useful; staying calm and not "fighting back" hopefully allows the other person to "empty their cup", so to speak, which brings an eventual end to the argument; pointing out the aspects of the other person's communication that actually pertain to the issue and ignoring the rest in a polite manner is highly effective; telling the other person that they are getting off-track and asking them to stay on-topic is useful in certain situations (I know I can get VERY passionate and critical at times without even realizing it :eek: ); self-disclosure is also useful in "softening" the intensity of the situation, I.e. telling the other person how you feel threatened by what the other person said and that you want to return to the original topic of discussion without incurring too many bruises, or something similar to that; last but not least, just leave the conversation until heads cool down enough to apologize and come to a resolution.

    Stuff like this happens because we are normal, emotional people who want their self-image to be both positive and intact. So there's nothing "wrong" with either of you; you two just got into an argument that got out of hand, and the conflict needs to be resolved before the two of you can speak civilly to each other again.

    That's my $1.00 worth of advice. I don't play these type of games very often, mainly because I suffer from the very same problem I detailed above. It's what killed Tribes: Ascend and League of Legends for me. The least I can do is state my experience and recommendations, and leave what happens next up to you two.

    Good luck, in-game, in-thread, and IRL. All of us need that kind of luck when it comes to this emotional stuff as well :)

    Sincerely,

    Mr. Album

    lol, What are you talking about? My spelling and grammar are excellent. Again, I don't know what your referring to... The only thing I can think of is my spelling of the word " Whiney" which is another way to correctly spell the word.

    Adj. 1. whiney - habitually complaining; "a whiny child"

    Again, You show lack of intelligence and common sense by not backing up your argument with any real points. You and Exact Pscience should form a " Lack of real points in an argument club"

    Seriously, you both are real childish.

    Done, until you start whining again !

    Whatever you little fanboy, good luck trying to convince, you, that you don't make any real points. You just say Madfinger is great, o.k ...... but when someone makes a valid point about the pricing, subscription. You defend like an illogical fanboy..

    Enjoy, your game and have fun spending 40 bucks on a yearly subscription to Shadowgun Deadzone, lol.

    Ignorance and entitlement generally do that. The last on-topic post that was appraisal was... Hundreds of posts back.

    I think all it really boils down to is that some people will be happy with this model and some won't, both should be allowed their (initial) say without people jumping all over them.

    It's a take it or leave it thing. No reason for everyone to get all personal over it.

    You're are so hilarious, again not backing up your statements. You're the only one that is ignorant here in this thread. You just don't have a clue.

    Entitlement, never had it?? Feel free to respond with blind and oblivious statements though.
