Confused about the current Pledgetool on Paizo.

[Harnoncourt]

In May/June 2013 people could finalize their pledges in the Pledgetool that opened up then. I remember going into that tool for all 3 of my accounts, but did not change any pledges nor did I add any rewards. Everything looked fine.

Recently I logged into my Pledgedrives again and noticed I could still add rewards in the second tab of the tool! Even though all the other tabs were finalized and it also said that I could not change my pledge anymore. But apparently I could still add rewards. I did so, they added up nicely on my balance sheet to the right and also the payment went through without a problem. The addon rewards are now listed on my balancesheet and it reads 0 $ again after paying.

However I also noticed that I can actually still Add/remove those rewards that I purchased on that second tab(other rewards do not show anymore).

I had also bought the "35 dollar Adventurer reward tier" which you can gift to anyone and actually gives all the Bonusrewards too:

Quote:

Adventurer Reward Tier

You have selected this add-on xxx times.
You can purchase additional Adventurer Reward Tier packages as Add-Ons. Each package of the Adventurer Reward Tier provides one Pathfinder Online account with all the bonuses and rewards described in the Adventurer Reward Tier. This is the perfect way to give a friend the gift of a Pathfinder Online subscription, along with all the special promotional bonuses and benefits of the Adventurer Reward Tier! Pathfinder Online accounts created with Adventurer Reward Tier add-ons will be invited to play during the last period of Early Enrollment, and will be eligible for Daily Deal items as of the date you increased your pledge by one or more $35 increments, not the date of your first eligibility.

I have two questions:

- Was I indeed supposed to still be able to use the tool and add those rewards (and pay for them?). Since I thought this was supposed to end in June 2013.

- Am I correct in thinking that the "35$ Adventurer Reward Tier" indeed *does* give all the bonusses and rewards described in the Adventurer Reward Tier, including Destiny's Twin and Shieldmate? The description of the addon seems pretty clear. If so that would imply I could still add numerous more of that reward and make a lot of people happy that have no chance of getting the Destinies Twin perk ever.

I hope I did not bug out the system and my money has disappeared into the Void. :)

Note: I could do this with all 3 of my Paizo accounts(linked to 3 KS accounts).

Hello Harnoncourt, someone might answer here, but you can also post to customer service if you have not done so already:

@Harnoncourt, I believe the pledge tool is up and running for internal testing, but I don't think Goblinworks/Paizo is actually ready for large-scale use.

Well, there must be more people who did not add any add-ons back in may/june 2013: I am curious if these people also can still add these rewards. I am not complaining, mind you.

Also, people who *did* add rewards back in 2013, do they have a working Add/Remove button behind these rewards too, so they can add more rewards if they would wish?

Harnoncourt is the name from one of my other paizo accounts btw. :)

:O Tyncale showing his true colors, whipping out the ol' hat of disguise for some alt-tastic deception! (Just kidding, of course ;) )

Haha, nah, just forgot to log out of the Harnoncourt account when I posted this. :)

The existing "Manage My Pledge" tool is not completely deactivated because there are still a lot of KS backers who have Add-On money in their pledges and there needs to be a way to manage that separate from the new Crowdfunding platform.

Once we get the new platform up and running we'll explain to everyone what the differences are and how you use the two tools. The tl;dr summary is that if you didn't pledge extra money in the KS, you'll use the new tool for all future interactions with the funding of the project.

Thanks Ryan(I am also Harnoncourt). I just want to say that I never had any add-on money on any of my 3 Paizo pledgedrives, yet I was free to still add any add-on reward (and multiples of those rewards) to my pledge, and pay for them, just now.

And now that I have add-on rewards on each of my pledgedrives, I can still multiply those rewards infinitely(rewards that I did not purchase do not show up anymore now).

I am just not sure if that is intended, since this way, anyone that has bought the add-on Adventurer Reward Tier in the past (or just now as I did) can still buy multiples of those, meaning that a LOT more people could get access to the Destinies Twin and Shieldmate perks.

I think it is great if we can buy this Addon for other players still, but it seems unintended that people can still purchase DT and other perks for non-funders infinitely.

I want to make sure that what I am doing is legit (buying more Adventurer Reward Tiers).

I will make sure that we disable that functionality at some point - it's a good catch.
