Hi everyone . . . This offer for a Premium pass appeared on one of my friend's account (a low one, just starting playing the game) and I was wondering if that Premium pass is going to be just for beginners and not available for all players. Thank you!

@Bellatrix I think it will be a general thing... How much does it cost ? Can't make it from your SS.

@esentis $5 for 7 days

@Bellatrix Well I don't see any benefit for older players so maybe that's the reason new accounts get the offer. My humble opinion is that it's a total waste of money ^^

It is being beta-tested on newer players, it may or may not be released for the rest of us but as @esentis stated there is no real benefit of it for vet players, unless they plan on tailoring it to the player's level. But in all honesty the only thing I find useful is the extra hatchery slot.

As a lower level 'competitive' player i could see the benefits of the extra gold and food but sadly i cant see the price justifying what you get.
My other game (Jurassic World Alive) is £8.99 a MONTH for VIP.
If this was more in line with that say maybe £10 a month i might be tempted

I would also be interested to know, if the gold collection works on the basis of gold generates twice as fast or of habitats can hold twice as much. 2million instead of 1 million for a level 4 legendary habitat
I assume it would be twice as fast

@VargRanger I think it works same as guardian does with food. Doubles the production.

@Nynaevelan totally agree with you . . . As a high player lvl point of view the hatchery slot is the only thing worth in that pass . . . There's also an extra island, but have no idea if that's a bonus or something apart

Giving an extra island to "Premium" players is not a good idea, unless they want a major backlash, because almost everybody wanted a new island (the Vault is not really an option, unless you're loaded with money). Giving it for money will raise eyebrows.

5 dollars for a week is not worth it.

@keki14 why you need an island if the max habitat stays the same ?

Just another way to grab more more money....

@thewire Weak way.. I was willing to get "premium" but not with this offer.

@esentis Bellatrix wrote "There's also an extra island", that's why I thought there'd be a new island. But, with the same number of habitats, it's pointless.

@keki14 ye bro exactly. I would love to know how this island would work, since the buffs you get are temporary.

$cost - in UK the price for The VIP island is £2.99 for 7 days , once activated, and £7.99 for 30 days respectively. (Awesome price)
The "island" yous talk of refers to the place where the 2 boosts are , a food pile (+100% production for your farms , a gold chest (+100% production for your Habitats) . And the third is a solo hatchery slot. It just comes up on a wee island .
It ain't a free to build on island, just the event is referred to the "premium island" because of the feature's island icon.
This is a boomin feature I made 13m gold in an hour and a half. happyholidays
Progress -Here is also what I had sat on - 2.2Bill gold , which I've now changed into 44.8Mil Food !!! (Still got 800m left)
Have also upgraded maany level 6, 7, and level 3 Legendaries to 4, for full capacity
My progress so far has been from a free 48hrs event I was randomly given , I haven't even paid squat yet to renew for a week or a month. Will be a good one . I hope to find out when the offer expires though cos it doesn't say yet. Hopefully they put it in a side banner ...?

I believe, everyone has this premium pass free for 3 days. Thank you SP!

I got it on my account as well as my baby accounts. It's a nice tease, not something I would buy because it is useless at my level but my baby accounts will see some benefits to having it.

Got it aswell! Nice move from SP. I hope if this goes live, it will have a monthly fee (lower than 10€) instead of weekly.

Phew, thought i purchased by accident. Thanks sp

Double collection is definitely enticing! 2M per habitat 400k food per farm with Guardian....

....I can see how this will tempt many!!!

not a bad idea , HOWEVER , they need to come up with something more( more giving not more costly lol ) for the high level players , while i will enjoy the extra hatching spot for 3 days, the rest does nothing for me so i'm not gonna pay another monthly charge just to have an extra hatching spot. SP can do better than this ! ( and yes i know they can ...the house always wins ...question is if they want to ...so far there's nothing extraordinary happening for long time players and it's saaaaaadddd ) ...btw where's the feedback thread for the WM blessings ?? it got cancelled but i cannot find the feedback thread ..thanks in advance !

a little late but i just got a free premium pass. did everyone get this? i am lvl 83 btw
edit- just noticed everyone's talking 'bout this lol. so i guess it was free

Anyone know what happens to a monster/egg in the extra hatchery spot when pass expires?

@bellatrix I am Level 136 & I loved getting all the extra Gold & Food! I have had my Farming Guardian active as well so it has been nice! Usually I hold all my Gold for the Race Quests but I can continually collect it without getting "behind" with my Gold! Thanks SP!

I agree, extra gold and food is ok, extra hatching spot is nice but not monthly subscriptions nice. Some things that may be worth paying for:

• Daily or weekly gem income
• Dungeon/adventure map fighting stamina - bigger point pool with faster point recovery
• instead of another hatching spot, how about the ability to move eggs from the hatchery to the extractor immediately or replace the extra hatching spot with a frying pan so we can cancel the hatching
• Discounts on gem transactions like unlocking rune slots, removing runes. Or the option to use gold instead of gems for those transactions.
• permanent rune crafting time discount.

Just about every other cash transaction in this game gets you a monster, runes or gems. With gems I am in control of what I want. The Premium Pass is a lot of money for the least valuable currency in the game.

@mamawjane agree with you . . . The pass has been very helpful regarding all those back to back gold and food tasks in the race as well as doing the feeding challenge. Loved it too, I didn't get to try it before but I'm sure players are happy about it. I've also saved lots of food whenever I need some for levelling up my relics and future feedings

@star-parts I had a intro demo to Premium Pass a while ago. I had all my hatchery and premium bonus spots full on purposes when the 3 day demo expired. If I recall correctly, I was not able to hatch the egg on the premium island. I hatched one of my other eggs, the premium egg moved to the hatchery (I think?) and the game crashed when I tried hatching it. When I logged back in, the egg was still in the hatchery and I was able to hatch no problem.

@star-parts it'll remain there if it still hatching . . . When that ends and you collect the egg, the extra hatchery will disappear

@bellatrix awesome, thanks for the info

Something is wrong with the premium, bought the month but it hasn't been activated. Already sent a ticket at support. Just a heads up.

Edit: ok it's active. It took around 10 minutes.

I might buy the monthly one in the future but most likely not until I am low on food, the food and gold is the only thing I want from it. Plus the boosts do help with the race.

@nynaevelan If the price stays the same.. because I saw a -40% price tag for the monthly fee. Maybe it's just a one time thing then it goes back to 15€, which is way too much for what it offers.

I agree, I would only consider it at the sale price or lower. I knew there had to be a reason they were teasing us with it.

Was nice while it lasted, but definitely not for this price....

....managed to convert a lot of my excess gold into 150M food or thereabouts growth spurt got a bit more expensive but not as much as I thought, so it should last a while!

@david-ml lol . . . Now that I see it more clear, I should've activated it on Sunday instead so it'll boost all my gold production for the Gold Fever challenge

@bellatrix Would have been nice, but it automatically activated upon first login on Friday - you would have had to not log in all weekend for this to work! At least my first collection and a smaller subsequent one got boosted which made top 500 a bit easier than normal!

@david-ml same . . . Logged in pretty late on Friday with my other 2 accounts and managed to be Top 5000 easier, can't say the same for my main account which I logged in Friday morning early, couldn't use it for that. This time I had to stay up til the gold fever challenge ended to make sure I'm in the Top 5000 at least with my main account and have to say this time was harder to keep up when I normally barely make an effort to get those extra 25 gems. Worth staying up, made it

I collected some gold and diamonds in the game and when i did it said free premium pass and i pushed the X button to close it and somehow i got. Do we have to pay for it afterwards because it says that i can renew it in 2d 23h but i dont know what that means

@carina-anderson yes, after the trial if you want to have it again you have to purchase it for 7 days or 30 days, up to you

A feature that would really get me thinking is an extra free chamber in the lab for crafting, ranking and extracting. The temptation during races would be high

If the premium pass is over, what happens to the fifth hatchery slot if that is occupied?

@stancu-alexandru said in Premium Pass:

It will stay occupied until you hatch the egg out then it will become unusable.

Hey SP, here's an idea. What if premium pass bonuses change every month? Or something a bit more interesting, player would pick his own bonuses out of possible pool of bonuses.
You tend to introduce features and forget to enrich them.

Ps: Can you remove the discount tag? It reminds me of EU version of Black Friday.
