Pre Order Packs?

I saw a post about this earlier but didn't quite understand it so I wanted to just lay it out. does the skins in the pre order packs change each month, or will they stay the same until launch? I have heavily considered buying the game but if the skins change monthly I'll wait until other skins that are more appealing to me will be announced and/or released

Best Regards Prrimme

    Every month the skins change but if you have already bought a pack you can buy items from the newest pack. Some of the items are only buyable if you have the higher pack

    Yes it changes every month and if you want multiple/"better exclusive" skins you can spend more money.

    Changes monthly you can get cosmetics from the same tier package in the future too.

    Ok, so if I buy the more expensive pack I can still buy the other skins but it'll cost me more money or can I swap the skins from one pack to another depending on which pack I bought? @Nagash @Gumdrops thanks for your quick answers :D

    Ok thanks so a good idea would be to wait until a nice skin you like pops up and then buy others if you really feel the need to

    They change on a regular basis.

    You just missed the dark allegiance set. It looks so fucking epic.

    I have only seen 4 or 5 sets so far. So I don't know if it will rotate. Most likely, they will be new sets.

    So if I buy the biggest pack (Voyager Plus Pre-Order Pack), I'll get access to that month's cosmetics when the game releases, and have the option to buy all future month's cosmetics from the store as well, but not prior months.

    And I don't have to buy future cosmetics immediately, every month, I could wait until the game releases? For example, assume I buy the current pack and all cosmetics. Two years from now, the game releases. On launch, would I still be able to purchase all of the cosmetics from here until launch, or will I be required to buy the cosmetics when they are released? I guess I'm wondering if buying a cosmetic pack now would reserve me the right to buy all future cosmetics at a later date?

    I hope I made my question clear :/

    Thats right but you would need to buy the items you want. buying the pack allows you to by other months items

    So far they have not rotated cosmetics. And as i understand it; they will be limited quantity too ? So lets say you get a bird from the shop this bird will never be avaible again, at least not in its current form. Maybe with a different colour size name etc ? That will make owning any monthly cosmetic a few years down the line pretty rare and cool to have. Please someone correct me if wrong here ty

    Hi there - thanks to all the folks above who helped get OP some answers! The cosmetic items in the Pre-Order Packs do indeed change each month, and once they're gone, they're gone - they won't rotate back into the shop! Hopefully that helps answer @Shaladoor 's question as well - you'll need to grab the cosmetics during the month they're available if you'd like to, as they won't be making a comeback!

    I'm going to go ahead and close this thread out now, but please don't hesitate to reach back out if there's anything else we can assist you with on this topic!
