great to know, thanks
He's being sarcastic if you didn't notice, it literally took me less than an hour to get a beta key. Regarding the game so far this is pretty fun, got to pilot an airship and it was definitely entertaining. Not a whole lot of people playing unfortunately, so it's hard to find a game to play in.

Sarcastic O.o I was giving a serious awnser it took me about 3-5 months to get my key :/

It should honestly take a few minutes. But remember, this is a beta weekend, so there isn't much time left any more.

Apparently this is going to be "sold at retail," and ALSO have an item shop. (However: "We hate pay-to-win, and Guns of Icarus Online will not let you buy your way to victory. The items we sell in the game will be limited to cosmetic and vanity items, like costumes, ship decorations, and pets.")

Yeah.

Honestly I don't think it'll do very well in retail, since this kind of game basically must be F2P these days or no one would play it.

To be honest I think it will still do well, I prefer to pay for my games and if it's resonably priced and we are going to keep getting updates with ships and weapons I have no problems paying for the game :)

The game is fine, but it's not good enough to be a retail game. If it was F2P with an item shop, then sure I can see it doing well. But no one wants to buy a game, then find out they're not getting the entire game and have to spend more money on different items.

If it's in the $5 range, maybe. Seems like kind of a small game to purchase at retail especially considering they want to encourage buying from their item shot.

The reason you might have not have gotten your keys until recently is because Spider hasn't been an "ambassador" (key-giver type guy) until lately, and he's the one that gives away keys quickest. I'm assuming.

Is anyone available now to play a game? Only, there's no one else on and I only just got my key. Also, the servers don't appear to have been shut down yet.

1.17 Have you heard about this game called Guns of Icarus Online?

Yes we have! It’s a really fun game and very cool concept. We think it can be summed up by saying that it’s a lot like AirBuccaneers, but with bigger ships and higher in the skies. So if you like AirBuccaneers HD, you should definitely check out Guns of Icarus Online because you will absolutely love it.

Have you guys heard of this game called Air Buccaneers?


We have! It’s a nice little game and we’ve had some fun playing it in the office. We think it just goes to show that airship combat is a genre whose time has come. If you like Air Buccaneers, you’ll looooove Guns of Icarus Online.
