Byuing Platinum ... Questions ...

[Norifur]

Hi, 

 

I got a "20% OFF" reward from the lotus at login ... the first ever in nearly 5 months ... until now I only got XP rewards although I'm playing daily ... fun game ... like it a lot ...

 

So I decided to check this reward ... and since this was my first ever (off on plat buy) I thought why not go big ... I took the 4300p one ... 159.99 USD instead of 199.99 USD ... still much I know ... 

 

The only payment option was steam (as is mentioned in the faq somewhere ... I believe ... no problem with that) ...

 

My problem ... how do 159.99 USD equal 143.99 EUR ... even if I add the VAT of my country (germany 19%) it is way to high ... 

 

According to some google-research 1 USD = 0.73 EUR (as of May 15, 2014) ... taking this 159.99 USD = 116.60 EUR ... adding 19% VAT = 138.75 EUR ... that leaves 5.23 EUR I can't figure out ...

 

Can somebody pls enlighten me ...

 

PS: I pressed the "Cancel" text to clear this ... and got a nice text:

 

"transaction failed for oderID xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx failed

object(stdClass)#170 (2) {["result"]=> string(2) "OK" ["params"]=> ......"

 

It looks as if something is wrong here ... which should be looked into as well ... 

It takes a bit of time and I'm redirected to some FAQ-page that tells me what mistakes I could have possibly made to cause this problem ... funny I already know ... I pressed "cancel transaction" ... just as a side note (I used the steam-browser) ...

 

PPS: I can't post screenshots ... but I have them should someone from DE need them to verify this ...

 

thx for any help on this ...

Why didn't you buy the Prime Access pack?  I'ts like $139.99 US... better value, you get more stuff?

Good question ... and now that you mentioned it worth looking at ... but still no answer to my initial problem ... if I buy PA now ... and later need more plat for whatever reason ... can I buy it a 2nd time ? ...

 

On the other hand ... If I should get lucky and recieve a "50% OFF" or even a "75% OFF" ... as far as I have seen ... these rewards are not usable with PA ... I know it's a bit presumptuous of me ... "I'm willing to pay that much that much ... and now start to haggle about some cents" ... well I like to take the best deal I can get ... PA is a valid point ... but only if you haven't taken it already and / or if you only got "20% OFF" reward ... so thx for the PA-tip ...

Yeah, you can buy the bundle a second time but you will already have the items do it will duplicate them, you better take a screenshot and enter a support ticket, there's a billing link so they can solve your issues, hope this helps.

 

In ps4 if you're ps plus you get 33% off :D
