Greetings Reapers,

It's that time once again! A Cheif Chat is coming your way. Featuring the main man himself, Grummz (Mark Kern) and yours truly. Come hang out with us as we talk about Em-8ER, make mostly appropriate jokes (mostly) and give away some prizes!

Have you seen that fancy new bike? Want one? You'll get your chance to win one in the raffle. Did you miss out on Milestone 3 altogether and would like a way in? We might just have a path for a lucky few to get in there.

So join us on Monday, July 30th, on Em-8ER discord at 4 PM PST.

Cover your ears Reapers, Deepstrike inbound-
Ronyn

I see you folks, we will get you sorted.

M3 BACKER UPGRADES & PYTHON BIKE F. A. Q.

1 - Q: What is this news about an upgrade to Em-8ER Backers Indiegogo Milestone 3 perk packs?

Spoiler

A: The http://my.em8er.com website allows Indiegogo Milestone 3 Backers to upgrade their pledge! For a limited time (up until the Kickstarter), Backers can upgrade to any higher tier (starting at the $15 “Scout” perk pack).

2 - Q: I didn’t pledge during the Indiegogo Milestone 3 campaign. Can I buy the Python Bike skin now?

Spoiler

A: No, only Indiegogo Milestone 3 Backers have access to the coveted Motorcycles in Em-8ER. The M3 Backer Packs were only available for purchase through the Milestone 3 IndieGogo campaign (2017). Now to get your hands on a M3 Backer Pack (or One Dollar Club Pack), you must enter to win one of the raffles when Grummz, Ronyn, and Fae host them during Chief Chats.

3 - Q: Where do I go to upgrade my M3 IndieGogo Backer pack?

Spoiler

A: Current M3 backers can upgrade by accessing the M3 Campaign (https://my.em8er.com/perks/campaign/3) from the “Campaigns and Perks” section of the (https://www.em8er.com) website.

4 - Q: How long are the M3 upgrades going to be available?

Spoiler

A: All Backer packs will be available up until 1 month before Kickstarter. So at that point there will be no new purchases, but you will still be able to upgrade the ones you already own.

5 - Q: How can Kaiju Slayers, Max Kahunas, and Omni Ace packs, get the Python Bike?

Spoiler

A: Kaiju Slayer packs are sold out and no longer available. Both Kaiju Slayers and Max Kahunas automatically receive the Python Bike Skin. Omni Aces have no path to an upgrade. However, they are still able to purchase the Python Bike Skin itself.

6 - Q: Can the “One Dollar Club”, “Get Counted for Stretch”, and $5 backers upgrade their packs?

Spoiler

A: Yes. See FAQ number 7 (below) for more details.

7 - Q: Can we upgrade our “One Dollar Club” packs to $5 packs?

Spoiler

A: No. Backers can NOT upgrade a “One Dollar Club” pack to $5 pack; the system will not allow it. Either pack can be upgraded to a $15 "Scout" pack, which gets backers the Python Bike Skin, but it does NOT get them the demos, the playable mockup, or the final game.

8 - Q: What upgrade do I need in order to get the Python Bike, access to the demos, the playable mockup of the THMPR encounter, and the final game?

Spoiler

A: The minimum upgrade in order to receive all the above is the $35 Deepscanner pack. Any M3 backer who already owns: $15 Scout, $35 Deepscanner, $75 Terraformer, $100 Tsi-Hu Hunter, $150 Firstclaimer, or $250 Base Commander; will need to upgrade to the next pack to receive one Python Bike Skin along with their upgrade.

9 - Q: What is The Python Bike Skin?

Spoiler

A: This skin updates the M3 motorcycle, offering a single seater version reminiscent of the style found in our spiritual predecessor, Firefall. If you upgrade or purchase the bike, BOTH styles will be available in your Em8ER garage. This brand new, built from scratch Bike model offers a very familiar appearance and will come in Cobra Red, just like you remember!

10 - Q: How many Python Bike Skins can I purchase?

Spoiler

A: The Python Bike Skin is available as a separate purchase for those that prefer the skin but wish to remain at their current pledge level. PLEASE remember, the skin is limited to one Python Bike Skin per account. If you purchase the skin but decide to upgrade later, you will only have one copy of the Python Bike Skin.

11 - Q: How can I pay for the upgrades and/or the bike?

Spoiler

A: At this time we can only process credit cards via Stripe. However if your card doesn't work, you need to check the following link to see if your card/country is supported, BEFORE emailing Em-8ER Support: <https://stripe.com/global>.

12 - Q: So now that I’ve upgraded, I should see my new forum title and/or tag, right?

Spoiler

A: New forum titles/tags are not automatic; they will be updated in batches every few days. That will be the same with any art builds or PDFs.

13 - Q: If I have any issues regarding my account, upgrades, or the bike, who should I contact?

Spoiler

A: Please contact Em-8ER Support by email at: [email protected].

25$ for a bike... *roblox oof*

Also, the upgrades drop-down menu doesn't show the bike purchase to anyone who paid for deepscanner(35$) package or above.

Our prices match what other games charge for mounts, like WoW. The bike upgrade itself is not listed in the upgrade menu, you need to go to the M3 page and purchase it separately if you do not wish to upgrade your package. Thanks!

I can't seem to see the upgrade button? granted it is likely just being blind thought id ask where I should be seeing it.

If you were an M3 backer, your package is listed on "Campaigns and Perks." Your package will have a button if it is upgrade able. All M3 pack are except for Omni Ace and Kaiju Slayer. Bikes skins are also available separately on the M3 page itself.
