SuperPsiPower Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) Spiffy tier shirts that are tradeable and marketable? I don't know about you guys but I'm in the mood for Walking Cane skins, or even different themed skins. People giving away PAX coded stuff is kinda lame if you ask me, wasn't it suppose to be a very special occasion for flying all the way out there? That's some loyal tier stuff right there.

mathem99 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 @JoeW @nome Is it really fair that those 2 skins are only available for those who visited you on the PAX booth? I mean what about those people who couldn't make it and still want them? Also about the crabbit backpack, it will be available if you purchase a new crabbit plushie?? 2 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/64924-all-released-skins-as-of-now/page/30/#findComment-810429 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dangling Depth Dweller plushie is already available, so it has no code... Crap, no punky Webber in close future. Back in the topic of loyal SW skin, I remember somebody's idea - endothermic fire pit with wave-like flames, or even some ship "ghost" appearing sometimes, something like the tragic torch effects.

I mean what about those people who couldn't make it and still want them? That's why they're tradeable, we asked ourselves that very question. Basically, we wanted to ensure there was SOME way to get the items for everyone, without being so hamstrung that we couldn't give a cool thing away for free to people who visit us as PAX for fear of offending those who miss out. It wasn't a decision made lightly, we hope we made the right call, but we're listening to you guys to find out. Just to recap for everyone. The two items above are obtained from our PAX-West booth only but are tradeable and marketable, and we printed up a LOT of them. The crabpack is loyal but can be obtained by buying a crabbit from our store once they're up - shortly after our merch guy emerges from his post-PAX coma I imagine (he's also the PAX guy, and about a million other things too - Klei is not a place where you wear only one hat). The shirt and the jacket were designed because we wanted to be able to give away something cool to those who visit us at PAX, while the crabbit backpack exists because of the problem with inferior (and I'm told sometimes unsafe) knock-off merch and people not being able to tell which they were getting (and then emailing our support asking why it was so low quality). Hope this post sums things up for people so the discussion can continue with all the right information. 21 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/64924-all-released-skins-as-of-now/page/30/#findComment-810445 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not actually know where Corey sells our merch, but if you get a crabbit without a code attached (or that code doesn't give you a skin) then it didn't come from us. I'd ask him but he's neck deep in PAX right now. Instead I'll leave him a note and let you guys know when he responds. Update - Corey says the only legit avenues for Klei merch are in person from us at conventions, from the Klei store, and Sanshee sells beefalo. Presumably anything else is a knock-off that did not come from us. 14 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/64924-all-released-skins-as-of-now/page/30/#findComment-810504 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this post sums things up for people so the discussion can continue with all the right information. I've been lurking here for a long time now and never thought my first post would be about skins like this. Anyway... The problem I see here with this is that an item of limited availability is only going to get more expensive as time goes by. At the time of me making this post the both skins are STARTING at about $20 on the steam market. The moment PAX is over and you've finished giving away the skins I'm sure the price will jump even higher. My overall goal is to eventually collect all the possible skins (highly doubt I'll ever actually achieve this goal though) but these two skins are completely lost to me cause they're just too expensive. Maybe you could eventually make these skins obtainable ingame after a few months or so? I could see that being one possible solution to this. 4 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/64924-all-released-skins-as-of-now/page/30/#findComment-810550 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I don't think there is any big problem with having cosmetic items like this limited to this or that event or product. I mean, it's not like you miss out on a new character or some huge aspect of the game, it's really just a little cosmetic alteration. And besides, the vast, vast majority of items is available to everyone just by playing the game and trading, so I really don't think it's as big a deal as people make it out to be. 3 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/64924-all-released-skins-as-of-now/page/30/#findComment-810551 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonsterLasagna Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Well gee, I was dreaming of a letterman jacket being in the game, but I didn't expect it to be obtainable under such harsh circumstances. What's worse is the fact that it will jolt up in price on the market by a couple hundred after some time. Oh well, can't have everything. 3 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/64924-all-released-skins-as-of-now/page/30/#findComment-810696 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubben16 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Dont get why people complain about the two new skins from PAX. Sure, i mean, having to either pay large amounts on the market or go to PAX for one isnt the best thing, but it could be worse. Imagine if those skins were loyal. Atleast we got a way to get them without having to go to PAX. (Even though they are rather expensive on the market.) And for those who want to collect every possible item, you are probably already prepared to pay alot for some items. 8 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/64924-all-released-skins-as-of-now/page/30/#findComment-810720 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a change in how one obtains them. From owning games/solving puzzles/drops to owning games/solving puzzles/drops/real life traveling and expenses/real life purchases. I personally don't care about such things, adding in flavour for those who can participate; I'm pretty sure that there will be more puzzles and drop-enabled skins to come. Though I know of some who do care and don't quite have the thick-lined pocketbooks or have other obligations to uphold, in the case of PAX, to make it happen.

I personally, don't see the problem with the PAX items. It's not like we're locked out of them forever. Klei was generous enough to let us have some way of collecting them. It may not be the best way for people who's pockets aren't filled with green, but at least it's something. Completionists, imo, don't really have anything to complain about. The market is much cheaper than travelling expenses in most cases. 1 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/64924-all-released-skins-as-of-now/page/30/#findComment-810724 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it; you have to consider that people's interest in the items will eventually decline, and then won't be willing to pay as much, thus the price will actually end up stagnating or even going down.
