You don't miss much at all in the free / public version.I just found this game a few days ago and have been mind blown at what is available so far... But I have a question to veteran players that have experienced Tier2 and Tier4 gameplay.
-What EXACTLY are we 'free players' missing out here? I'm not talking about 'what content' is locked out (one can look at the wiki)... I'm asking if those content is... Worth it?... And will it ever be released to the public?
I've supported, and still support some ongoing H-games on Patreon... But this is the first time I've seen actual quest content locked out based on Tier in such a way.
With Tier2 a fully customizable slave.
And... Tier4 is kinda steep asking price for a guy who lives in a country with a much weaker currency. (That's 2+ weeks worth of what I pay for lunch every month.)
I want to know in more detail what I'm missing out here as a free player. I could be... 'coaxed' into thinking it as an expansion DLC like how modern videogames works... But with this setup, my access to up to Tier 4 quests is only for a month... Unlike getting the expansion for Monster Hunter permanently.
Aside from what content Tier2 and 4 have my other question is...
-Would I lose my Tier2 slave once my patronage ends and a new version pops up etc kind of question.
-Could I load an older save file from a Tier4 new game save to a newer free tier version?
Again. Sorry for the TLDR post, but thanks in advance.
The MoR enchanced starts (Tier 4) are effectively just cheats which gives you an accelerated start and other buffs.
Tier 2 quest is a nice touch which includes a slave that you can customize the background for a little.
I'm unsure if Tier 4 includes any other in-game perks.
You need to think of it from the perspective that you want to support the dev and the tier benefits then being tokens of appreciation, which in turn makes you appreciate them as such.
Paying $60 or $300 per year only for the perks makes no sense. At least not to me.
From what I have read you can continue using a save created with tier 2 or 4 version on public version, possibly with some features missing. But for example the tier2 slave will still be there in the saved game but you won't find her in the next game you start.
