Hi,

Let me start off by saying i'm a 2006 eve player. Played non stop, love your game, you are welcome. I got the 2nd decade pack and i can't wait to get it, probably gonna make a sweet unwrapping video while trying to hide my boner or something. Anyway how cool would it be if CCP would add a Guardian Vexor and a Ishukone Scorpion within the mystery code. Now you are probably wondering why i would want them. Since i joined the MMO / Multiplayer Games i started collecting stuff from Achievements to InGame Items. Now i collect EVE Ships. That's right that's what i do, i love it when i go to my high sec home base station and stare at all the pretty ships, that will forever stay there, never to see STARS again, and always increasing in value, never to be sold!!! A few years ago i even tried convincing a CCP support guy to move my 4 carriers and my 4 dreadnoughts in the same high sec station promising never to use them. It never happened, so i stored them in a low sec system nearby.

Anyway i just want to say i love eve, i am greatful for everything you've done, everything you gave us, everything you strive to achieve. I'm sorry more people don't play eve. I would really be happy if EVE online would have at least 500 000 permanently online instead of 40-50 000 k spread on alts and is-boxer accounts. But please take into consideration my request and give the 2nd Decade Box guys via the "mystery code" the Guardian Vexor & the Ishukone Scorpion that you CCP so secretly gave away ... .

Oh hey look. Bienator II is here, Here's my shout out to you, love your videos.

Thank you,
Damian

May the Hype be with you. The CE reminds me a great deal of products sold on American TV using late-night infomercials.

I'm hoping this Mystery Code won't be abused to much to give stuff to people


As someone who has bought a CE box, I hope it will be "abused" to give people stuff to people lots and lots :)

It's hardly abuse if it is it's intended purpose.

if CCP would add a Guardian Vexor


Oh hell. I would sooner undock one of those in Nullsec than anywhere else in the entire game.

Saw at least one other ask, but can arms be cybernetic and still have sleeve tats on them?

Ok, I've put this complain here on the forums many times. I live in Brazil, and I'm willing to buy the collector's edition. Hell, I even went to fanfest this year, so I must really like this damn game. But the evestore site doesn't have an option to send it here. There isn't anything that can be done? C'mon CCP, couldn't one of you lend me your address, and then send it here to me? Please? Pretty please?


I'm quite sure you can get it from Amazon too, and they ship worldwide as far as I know. I could be wrong, but worth a try!

I did it now and bought it. It will be 312 dolars. Oh my, this game will kill me...

quick question. Is this mystery code a one time use item? for example to you have to choose between the item for Valkyrie or the arm? or does ccp mail a new code to use for each item?


The Mystery Code qualifies you for all Mystery Code items. Enter the code once, and it is saved to your account. You will be able to redeem each new item when they are revealed.

Cybernetic arms... where did I read about that first...? Question

Oh, yes, I remember now: prosthetic limbs & organs may occur to your Star Citizen pilot before he is too damaged and eventually dies forever...

Any chances that we get some stockings for our legs, now that obviously you've mastered layering textures on limbs? And -huh- maybe, who knows, you could consider releasing the standard "Structure" dress which I've been waiting for since it hit Sisi in April 2011?

(Tattoos, piercings and artificial limbs may be cool to some... but Ishtanchuk Fazmarai is a noblewoman and such shabby trinkets are way below her bar).

I hope the character customisation procedure goes something like this.

We're immortal. We get new bodies on a regular basis (well, those of us who tend to get exploded) So why would we ever need (or ever get) cybernetic arms?


Not sure whether this is something specific to Eclipse Phase or something from Singularity - But with the power capsuleers have they also have some degree of 'morphological freedom'. They can choose their form and how they look. If some choose cybernetic parts, why not? People have different tastes, i know i like the idea and i know a lot of others would.

Capsuleers aren't necessarily bound by the stigmas of society.

If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all...

Too late, CCP already thought of that.

Really a plex, nice to see something paid for out of one's own pocket Roll

Still I like the idea of the collectors edition, only played this game 5 years now, hope the journey last many years yet.

Eve online is :

A) mining simulator B) glorified chatroom C) spreadsheets online

D) CCP Games Pay to Win at skill leveling, with instant gratification

I'm liking the cybernetic arm.

I'm not liking how there is still no point to having these customizations since the CQ is a single player environment.

Thank you, I really enjoy these minor goodies that are being done despite Team Avatar's disbanding. CCP is in a slightly difficult spot, since the player base has made it clear that they don't want resources diverted from FiS to go into WiS, although these small bonuses don't seem to draw fan rage. My guess is that someday a new branch (like the ones for DUST and Valkyrie) will eventually be created once CCP gets serious about WiS which would avoid the whole "diverting" resources issue.

The arms do look fantastic, although I already find it difficult to decide which of the 8 sleeves to put on which character so they might not get much rotation. I agree with all those players that are waiting for hats although I do understand that the coding for them might be harder.

An easier alternative for future items would be new earrings! Surely this would be fairly easy to add to the mix, no?

I'd blame tax. Both VAT/sales tax, and corporation taxes.

Woo! CSM XI!

The corporation tax rate in Iceland is half what it is in the US. Sales tax in Iceland is much higher though so, it probably about evens out. Germany (random country in the Eurozone) is in between on both.
