@Scuderia - as has been explained a few times already discounts do not add (consider the effect of three 50% discounts) they are multiplicative after taking each from 100%. The result this time is that 45% combined with 20% is that a normal card is reduced to 11 credits.

@Scuderia

I have read many posts asking for a subscription to be added, istripper used to be subscription only.

From the looks of the members list the vast majority of users that have thusfar subscribed are tripple diamond users (cba to check individual card counts to see if they have full collections) but it looks like that with the discount the week on week revenue totem will make will now be less that it was without the subscription. For members that buy every card this is a no brainer even if it works out as $1 a year less regardless of when the additional discount is applied, for people like ourselves that pick and choose, the less cards we buy the worse the deal becomes.

@TheEmu Apologies if I ask something that had already been explained I did look - clearly not hard enough and didn't find anything. Thanks for the answer.

@Z22 Exactly that was my "food for thought "The less cards we buy the worse the deal becomes" so we need to determine if we are going to buy enough cards over the course of the year for it to be worth it.

I would expect the majority of members who would subscribe to be a triple diamond - that's clearly the customers you what to ensure you keep for life and thus the reverse psychology may work here, and that's once you have subscribed you will then buy enough cards for it to be worth it - simular the Dollar Auction - and buying a lot of cards is nothing uncommon for a triple diamond member, this just kind of ensure that we keep doing that.

And I'm fine with that! Storage capacity is more of a looming issue that I'm going to have to address in the near future anyway.

@Scuderia, i think it was said you need to buy ~215 cards a year to break even. For me i think i have a lower rate now because the curvy body types are more common now, i prefer slim women. I do think the variety is a good thing though.

@Z22 My gut feeling tells me I'm also at a lower rate that that - I may try check and try validate that.
Yeah my preference also lies with the slim woman and the curvy types so seem more common although last week seems to have been on the slimmer side because I got them all :-)

Yeh, they seem to be balancing it as they go on, curvy girl friday seemed to be a thing for a while.

Wow what thievery is this???? "Premium membership 4K resolution".... BOOOO!!!! 👎👎👎👎

This trolling ***** behavior is totally uncalled for... LOLOLOL

Don't feed the corporate greed ⛔💰⛔

@Popeyed
Totem is not a thief, just an enterprise which wants to make profit. And don't forget, none is ***** to subscribe.

Sures, peoples ain'ts ***** to scribes, buts theres is coersions beinged involved. Likes nows there a card thats only being able to be gotted by premiums members cause they gets a jokers card this week withs signin ups. How much mores cards is only gonna be for for premiums scribers? And whats ifn a seconds class person wantin that card, Well theys is then bein ***** by coersion to buys premiums scriptions.

I don'ts really cares abouts the possible ***** savings overs the year and I don'ts care abouts VR or 4K. My mom says if somethin don't works, then it don'ts works and mights be fixed in a update.

Ungettable products for the commons members is a big issue thoughs

@HazelEyes - there is no coersion, only inducement.

@gkar45 - if it was ***** then you could not be undecided, you would have no choice.

Bonjour, il est stipulé que l'on peut annuler le renouvellement prémium à n'importe quel moment mais je ne vois aucune option pour le faire, j'ai donc fait un billet au support car via netbilling c'est impossible visiblement. Je trouve ça assez fou 👎😳 de ne pas pouvoir accéder à ses infos de paiement étant donner que c'est récurrent si on ne l'annule pas.

Whatever yous sez Mister Spock. If yous gots to buys sumpin yous not wantin to gets sumpthin that's you does wants yous is beings coerced into doing whats you don't want.


btw my mom has a words for peoples the likes of yous, but I would end up getting a beatin from the forum cops if I was to use them ands worsely probbobbly a lecture from yous on wrongs words usages.

@KungfOO59 Surtout que NetBilling est par défaut la compagnie que Totem a choisi pour un paiement récurant, en sachant certainement que c'était compliqué d'annuler, et par le fait même pourrait plus facilement demeurer membre. J'ai toujours utilisé Epoch ou CCBill lorsqu'ils sont disponible mais Epoch de préférence.

@HazelEyes I certainly hope English is not your natural language because it's close to gibberish. Please you certainly can do better than that. One more thing, unless you're Forrest Gump you should leave your mom out of this !!

So is the general consenus that its worth or not? Only double diamond here. Still 500 away. Dunno if I buy new cards frequently enough but the free joker is surely tempting... I'd need to buy like 15 cards a month, new, to make it worth it? Unless I value the joker highly.

I think that Premium Membership is clever marketing. Totem do dream up lots of new ways to keep one's interest, and I say good luck to them.

At first sight it looks attractive, but from a purely monetary point of view I would need to buy 257 cards in the coming year to break even. In the last year I have actually bought about half that. So economically it is a bad deal for me.

However, call me a fool, but I do not really mind! It is nice to buy a card for 11 credits instead of 13.75; my graphics card and monitor can cope with 4k resolution, and the cpu doesn't seem too bothered either; it's nice to get a joker without participating in those awful gambling games in which you can find yourself winning old deskbabes cards I certainly do not want.

The rest of the icing on the cake (e.g. VR) does not apply, and it's hard to see how the technical support Totem has provided over the years can be much improved upon.

Just a personal perspective.

@Carbo :De plus en étant prémium on a droit à plus d"attention du moins c'est ce qui est décrit, pour moi le fait de ne pas avoir accés à sa propre carte de paiement pour pouvoir la retirée est ***** elle vous appartient(ce qui est faisable sur n'importe quel site d'achats en ligne), j'ai fait un ticket pour supprimer ma carte de crédit qui est en attente...

Ima prob buy it and just think of it as a 60 dollar joker with the option of ocassional discounts which might be the best way to think of it. Yes that is one VERY expensive card but honestly getting special event cards is a gamble all the time anyway and I believe you can hold onto jokers forever? Correct me if Im wrong? So hold onto it if you dont want anything now and if some rng event card comes out think of it as a 60 dollar free pass for that? Seems best for people like me who doubt they can 100% value the deal but want it anyway.

I mean this deal has a lot of ways to try and come at it. Value game, buy 200+ new cards, recoup full value of the purchase. Great for people who always buy cards. An expensive joker card for now/the future where you can skip the RNG, skip buying a full month, skip playing a dice board, etc for 60 bucks but also get discounts here and there for your purchase. Won't be 100% like the previous idea but still a decent value depending on how you value event cards(I spent sooo much to get the one event card I wanted a few months ago when they had like 6 event cards in a RNG pool, I would have loved this then).

And maybe someone else comes at this deal another way? I don't know. But like others have said, Totem is a company, they're trying to get money and if you look at this from an objective view point its not terrible. Hard to recoup 100% value from it but given RNG events and other stuff I doubt 1 person here has gotten 100% value for their purchased credits, and if I'm wrong I'm sorry.

Edit: Tho I will state, they should have included -some- credits. Seriously, I'd take anything. Maybe 20 credits a month for a year which can equate 1 card a month free. Like seriously something, since it's a yearly thing, just feels like you'd expect -something- to drip to you for it. And I don't think giving 20 credits a month would ***** them. But this could be my 'gacha game' player side speaking where I buy monthlies for them and get some sorta drip of <currency/item/etc> for being so nice as to support them monthly/yearly.

So what is the big deal in the premium skin. It looks really plain. Is it not working right? How should the premium skin look?

It's just very sad the direction this program has gone...it just feels more and more like you are walking into a dirty casino rather than a nice strip club...but whatever I'm sure Totem has their reasons...and yes nobody is ***** to do anything...only manipulated into doing something apparently! 😍😆

These "special event" cards are really starting to get under my skin though... 🔥😠🔥

Careful now. Some crybaby whose crown is on too tight might get irritated

Heres why i think this is a bad idea.

So... If i get the premium membership i can buy all the new shows at release (release window) with a 20% discount.

That means if you already have most of the shows (eg. tripple diamond members) and buy the new shows at release, that there is no point in waiting for ANY event/special offers since you only get to buy shows, which you didnt care about buying in the first place!

(Also there are events where you get every 4th card for free - basically 25% off!)


I dont think the other benefits (crystal clear.... ) make up for the price of 60$!!
