Give people at least 1 new figure when buying the Basic Set.

    I have been playing for about 3 months now and I LOVE the game. I love it so much I felt I should kick down and support it by getting the Basic Set.

    Upon purchasing I decided to go take a look at the other figures and maybe swap out an existing one. Instead I found that the only new figures were for ALL other types of characters but my own...ouch. I could not use ONE of the 9 figures without creating a new character.

    Now, I do not think that figures are super important(at least not to me), nor am I upset. I am merely giving some constructive feedback, from one gameplay engineer to another. When people buy the Basic Set, give/unlock at least ONE new figure to use for an existing character they have. Do not make them create more in order to use them. Or let me change my gender/race so i could use one of the 9 figures that come with the set.

    Once again I thank you for such a great gameplay experience, and I look forward to more awesome adventures! Keep up the good work.

    The 9 new figurines are gender options, so unless you count gender as part of your characters statistics (there's nothing stating gender on the character sheet, it just counts race and class), you get a second option for every character you have.

    Thanks for your reply, Pengwin. I guess I expected that I would have at least one new option for my existing characters, which are female. I did not see them being extra gender options stated anywhere. I like the art of what I have for now and I am far more into the gameplay than how my toons look( I am sure that will change at some point). I am only saying, justifiably, that it was a bit surprising. As a developer I would have done a check to see if they were not going to have anything new upon getting the set, and unlocked 1 random figure that they do not have, but could use on an existing character. It shouldn't feel like a random drop where u may get no new goodies. I know this is small but it makes for a rewarding user experience after dropping cash.

    As a parent, I try hard to mention the good as well, and not just focus on what needs work. So with that I give you my best user experience thus far:
    I was trying to beat the same module stage 3 for weeks ( I don't play every day :p ) and when i finally did I almost stood up and cheered. (I stayed seated during my cheering instead)
    When I opened the chest I saw that the member item was really perfect and a major improvement for one of my characters. I decided it was time to support the game and so I went through the process, forgetting to finish/close the module loot screen and complete the adventure. When I came back to the game tab in my browser, the loot I had _wished_ I was going to get, and did NOT expect to get this time around, was now UNLOCKED! I grabbed it up and ran out of that cave as fast as my feet would carry me. What a great unexpected user experience.

    So bravo, Manchu...bravo
