@Ironman

I don't have the actual card but I think your talking about your purchased card window. I thought you were talking about the store window, the slider option only works in the store.

@harshie - I like your sense of humor :)

@others: As I can see there are some satisfied users despite of highest price. If you accepted the price that's ok, it's not my business. I have request to all this people. Is there anyone who can tell us if he noticed some important differences between Estonika's show and shows from the other girls? Why this card is better than the others? I'm asking for honest opinion. I would like to know because as I wrote in other topic:

lukaszr: [...] Demo doesn't look any better than others. Show duration isn't any longer (35 min). Even comments and ratings aren't any better. BTW: i don't have trust to members who are giving rate 10/10 - they're giving ten points to all of girls in here. For me this comments are useless. [...]

I don't want to be rude, I'm just curious if there is any other reason to buy this card (except of wallpapers and skins which I can do myself).

Another thing: please, stop saying/writing comments like "if you don't like it, don't buy it". This is old true and we all know this. So what we should do? Shut our mouths and stay calm and quietly? This will take us to nowhere. But if we will start to pointing out some bad things, we have a chance to change something. At least that's good start. I was slightly dissapointed when I saw the price and I'm glad to see that I'm not alone.

Another thing: I'm coriuos if all wallpapers, skins and other stuff will be available for customers who already bought this card? If I'll buy this card now, will I get the access to this extra content without any extra payments?
BTW: imo any info about extra content should be given soon after the card was released or in the same time.

For me it's a shame. I was interested by the preview images, but not at that price. If the price comes down in three to six months i'd reconsider, but then how will the people that buy it this week feel if the price comes down in three to six months?

@DANO70

You don't have to own the card she's still in the demo carousel just left or right click on her image and you will she her full image with all her info.

But as i look at other cards it seems like they are starting to update them and make them bigger.

I'm guessing that the girl wanted more to do this card, or someone has set their heart on getting a Ferrari... ;)

I did not like the price increase without notification and transparency. After they opened up about the reasons, that the ONE card is marked up, I decided to buy, it is basically the price of 1.67 cards which is not the end of the world. The card is good, if you are a comic lover, it is probably an all time favorite. It isn't worth the extra unless the 100 or 200 better cards are viewed as cheap but they aren't ***** a permanant global increase and we can just wait 2 weeks to see her for normal price. If somebody is screwed by this card it is their own impatience that lead to it.

@Ironman

I realize what you mean the image is larger than normal. I Don't espect that to allways be that large. The slider option allows you to see it too when you click on the normal store card image that's what I was refering to.

@DANO70, @Ironman

I think (but I am not certain) the size of the "Standing" png image is affected by the amount of text in the models description.

If you look at any card in your collection you will see that the top of the model's head is located level with the model name/show title and her feet are level with the bottom of the trash can. The more text there is in the model's description, the lower the trashcan and therefore the model's png appears larger.

In the case of Estonika the description is quite long and you have the added text for the Disclaimer. Consequently Estonikas png fills the whole frame.

This also affects the pane on the right hand side where the comments, photos, videos and clips appear. When the trash can is lower there are more comments, photos etc visible in the right hand pane.

If I am correct then it would be nice if Totem inserted some blank lines when the model's description is short. This would mean that the whole pane is always used on both sides and there is a full sized png of the model.

Again I stress that the above is mainly supposition on my part but seems to fit with the 15 or so cards I've looked at.

@Number6

You probably right. I've never payed that much attention before :)...Babe first details later LOL

Feeling out of the loop, as I had to look up "cosplay".... but I do know about Harley Quinn.

Anyway, no big deal for me. IF the price is warranted, customers will pay it, and Totem will create more cards like this to meet the demand. If members feel the price is not warranted, they won't buy these cards, and fewer will be produced.

WOW .......

Most posts stated that they liked the fact that Totem provided something different and the Cosplay theme was welcomed so I don't see your point.

People questioned the price and this is fair enough, they are customers, No post seemed to chastise the Totem team either, it's feedback. I bought the card at the asking price, I am enjoying the show, Totem made a sale, I doubt any feelings have been ***** so all is good.

Cheers.

TOTEM IS GETTING GREEDY,,WAY OVER PRICED CARD,,,24 CREDITS,,,COME ON

my view will probably be unpopular, but why WOULDN'T the cost of cards go up a bit. I'v been a memeber from WAY back and I don't remember the price realy ever going up.. Yes, it's a shock when prices increase. No, I personaly don't mind the increase for special cards, or if needed to provide quality I wouldn't mind a small increase. OK everyone start yelling at me. :)

Oh, I DID buy the card and enjoy it.. TY Totem. Good Job.

172RGM is way too caps lock happy and needs to turn the caps lock off

Everyone can hear you just fine without all the rude yelling and screaming, Thank you

If totem need to work current trends to get new customers at high flagfall prices then they should give it a try. It is hard enough for me to make fullscreen scenes to suit outfits like permanent high heels, let alone specific costumes, so I don't have to buy them. We need patience.
I suggest full all nude XXX cards (real nude without striptease dance cards) if Totem wanna charge double the price for one model. I would surely buy that.

As i understand it, this card features items and costume that was exclusively designed for this card. Whereas the other cosplay cards features massproduced costumes and items which are readily bought in shops for less than 25 euroes.

91hebasu, giving their customers what they want is just good business sense if they want people to keep buying their product. Plenty of other porn sites (Brazzers, Wicked, DP) are making ***** Squad parodies to capitalize on the popularity of the movie and none of them are charging extra just because they provided content their customers wanted. If the card did cost significantly more to produce then that is some reasonable justification but the "we know we have a high demand on this cosplay since the Harley Quinn madness is in full swing" reasoning is just price gouging because they feel they can.

It would be good if as well as skins & securing marketing rights Totem could at the same time ensure members can use certain publicity pics content for FS scene making without the ***** of copyright hassels.

Here is my theory:

1. Totem made a mistake in dropping the discounts. And Sales have dropped.
2. Totem is bringing back the discount system but it will be in reverse of the previous system
3. Cards will start expensive based on excuses such as exclusivety contracts, trademarking, production costs.
4. The people without self-control will buy the super expensive cards, then discounts will applied over time but randomely.
5. This program becomes more like a free to play model, if you can wait and be patient you will get discounts...if you want the product now you will overpay.
6. Estonika is a test card to see how many have to buy first day with a 60% increase in price
7. Then we will see how many buy when they drop her price.
8. We know they are creating a new discount system, we know their excuses for the increase in price are weak, and we know a portion of the base will buy cards at any price because they need it now.

@orclover, yes, and by dropping the subscriptions they may have lost a lot of predictably forward money also.

Whoa!!! Slow down, guys...

I have no clue about Totem's agenda. Speculation on that is a worthless waste of time. We can ask for things, suggest things and the Team usually listen.

So Totem made a mistake in dropping the discounts? And sales have dropped? Erm... You know this speculated fact, HOW?

As far as I know, NONE of us regular members are privy to Totem's exact business figures. Certainly not the recent ones anyway.

I have my own ideas about where Totem is trying to take this but I'm certainly not going to publicise them in this way. My ideas could be and probably are WRONG!

@orclover: Sorry, my friend but that is also known as RUMOUR mongering. Without facts and proof of those facts, you are stirring up a hornets nest of bullshit which will only create a bad atmosphere here in the forum.
Please cease and desist! Thanks ;)

I think is for a moderator to tell a member to cease and desist ;)

as for creating a bad atmosphere I think Totem are responsible for that by upping the prices, and customers will ***** and hypothosize about these sudden changes, it is human nature.

@Hombre
Indeed there is too much speculation.

My own statement above was merely a clarification of some of what Kaiju explained earlier on in the thread, I have no reason to think there is some sort of hidden agenda by Totem or anything at all other than what was explained by Kaiju.

The price is what it is. If a member wants the card, then buy it and pay. If a member doesn't want the card, then don't buy it and don't pay. It really is that simple. - Noone is ***** anyone to buy a card a person doesn't want!

I think the slap is that many people bought the card without noticing the price till after the fact, I would have never noticed if I had not been reading the comments. There is no designation of any sort that would tell me that this card is a premium card and different from all the others.

The card is a great card - but when you compare it with the norm, it feels awfully short at 29 min, I mean this is supposed to be a special card ... we like to see that reflected in what we get as a customer. Throw in a few extra photos, I liked Harshies idea of more prop shot poses rather then the standard run off. Just something a little more then your regular card can go a long way towards it's value. An excluse bonus video with that outfit. I would have liked to have had the option for more xxx content with that outfit, would have been amazing. More effort is going into the production, let us see a little more effort in the release too.

Just a little extra love would go a long way :)

The bottom line is, this should have felt more like a celebrated event, Totem did a great job preparing for a release like this in time for the Harley Quinn madness. Instead we got this weird quagmire of feelings among the customer base, sorry haha.

Hopefully all this can be constructive for future releases, we want cool stuff in the vein of this card, we will pay extra for it - just paint it in shiny colors or call it premium or something to show us it's different.

Theories are just that. Theories.
Everyone has their own ideas and opinions.

​When a member tries to tell another member that their ideas, opinions and theories are unwelcome and they need to "cease and desist", they're overstepping their bounds.

Well, yet again. I find myself needing to say this........

​Please let the forum Moderators do the moderating in this forum

Sorry. My natural instinct is to defend the innocent. And the truth. I'll try to curb my instincts :)

Damn y'all still going hard over here! lol

The way I see it, I could spend $12 to watch the movie ***** Squad (just the ticket alone, not including price for food and drinks) which has no nude scenes with Harley Quinn and which will last 2 hours and it's over. Or I could pay 26 credits (about $2.50) and get to see Harley Quinn dancing with her ass and titties out, for life. Which one has the better entertainment value here?
The only valid argument I see here is the members who purchased without looking at the price, thinking it would cost the same as all other cards. Maybe Totem should put a pop-up or something alerting the buyer that this card will cost more credits than usual.
​I'm glad they finally listened to our call for more variety, in this case the costume and the make-up. I know some members don't care for it and would prefer the same old boring swimsuit/nurse outfits, but personally I'll gladly pay a little extra if it means this special outfit/cosplay trend continues.
