Wasteland The Wasteland 2 Beta Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Duraframe300]

The launch price is $40/€40.

Steam has made changes to its VAT policies over the recent period and it is now subtracted from the listed sale price. VAT goes from I believe a minimum of 19% to about 27% depending on the country.

*sigh* No love for Switzerland eh? Not part of the EU, and only 8% VAT, but Valve still makes us pay 40 EUR...

Yep

 

[Kirkpatrick]

Holy. Fucking. Shit. Wasteland 2 has now topped the gog.com sale list, it's gone above the Witcher 3.

Are those lifetime sales, as I constantly saw Witcher III at the top. DOS 761st, ouch. Not a great seller there.

 

[undecaf]

Wasteland 2 seems to be both, number 1 and number 99 on GOG.

Which is legit and which is a bought placement?

 

[Cnaiur]

No access to a desktop or laptop for at least another month. Really should stop reading this thread after tonight.

 

[AN4RCHID]

Any word on the final price? Hope they're not keeping it at $60.

The launch price will be at 40$ according to BroNone.

That's what I was hoping for.

One more day!

You're in Euro1. We can fine-tune prices to some extent but yeah, nothing that can be done about that.

Correct, it looks really nice though. The Kickstarter one is apparently metal.

The CE is metal. The standard is your standard cardboard. Both are old-school boxed sized.

 

[Cazzeris]

Brother None when are you going to show some CE boxes?

 

[jagged-jimmy]

Just deactivated my Steam beta key for a GOG key. Thanks for that option, inXile!

A bit too late though. I did not try beta because this option was not available.

 

[Zdzisiu]

5.5 Gb download on steam. Right now on Ranger Center I had the possibility of claiming my key in either Steam or GOG, possibly because I didnt claim my beta key before that.

I also have another GOG/Steam key for the standard edition. I assume that the boxed copy I receive will have no additional keys? Not that I'm complaining.

EDIT: Just noticed that Wasteland 2 is still in my Steam library. I assume this will be removed later?

How did you deactivate? Was it through Torment, or Ranger Central? The Ranger Central page doesn't seem to have the deactivation option up yet, or maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.

It does, under the Rewards tab (scroll down).

Hmm...just went there again. I see Group 1 Reward - Digital Download Key Allocation, and under that I see my Steam key that's been activated, and a spare key that I plan on gifting to my brother once i deactivate my steam key and activate on GOG. Is it a button? Nothing about deactivate at all on the Wasteland 2 Ranger Center rewards tab.

Nexrt to the Steam key you should see two buttons, "Keep Steam Key" or "Revoke and switch to GOG.com"

Hmmm, nope. It actually specifies: Your donation gives you access to 2 digital copies of Wasteland 2.
You can claim your digital key, and download Wasteland 2, from either Steam™ or GOG.com. Please be aware that you must choose one of these services for each key. Once chosen, you will not be able to switch services. If you have any issues, please contact us.
Here's an image, with my claimed key blacked out, of course:

Looks like you pressed "keep Steam key" :/

Contact us at the Ranger Center for help I guess.

 

[FeelTheRads]

So on GOG... what version is the one Kickstarter backers after all? When I claimed the key it had all the rewards for the deluxe edition listed, but was called "digital classic". Now there's only a few rewards left. However, if I go to the W2 page on gog it shows as "Deluxe" and it says I own it...

Digital is teh hard

Edit: I assume the digital rewards will be available through the Ranger Center as well?

Hmmm, pretty sure there never was a "keep Steam key" on there. I just grabbed the key the other day to try the beta before realizing you could get a GOG key, played it on steam, and that was that. There never were any other buttons. I'll contact Ranger Center. Thanks for the help, anyway.

 

[Zdzisiu]

Guys, why can I play the game right now? Is this some beta build that will update with the launch at midnight?

 

[Astral Rag]

I'm reading the excellent manual while listening to the OST for the first time, can't wait to start playing.

 

[Jaesun]

Are STEAM Key available for this yet on the Ranger Center, or will that be on Friday?

I redeemed my key some time ago, I think your beta key becomes the true key unless you use the option to revoke it? Could be wrong.

Thanks! I just checked and now have it. DOWNLOADING NAOW do I can be ready for tomorrow.

GOG has some weird listings but the versions are the same as Steam. If you're due digital deluxe ($50 and up) you get Digital Deluxe, if you're a basic version ($15 tier) you get just a game key. That's for the primary, first key. Extra keys are always game-only.

Yeah, install it and it'll update on release.
