For this i am a bit annoyed, its just a damn tank which any number of space ships can destroy from a long distance and its exclusive to 1k+ people, yeah CiG you done screwed this one up..

Sounds like a cash grab using Star Wars to benefit more.

Wouldn't care if it was not being promoted without Star Wars. But using that is just greedy.

Thanks for the info man. Do you have a source link for that? I cannot seem to find any additional info about a mainstream release of this tank.

It seems that the Livestream was delayed to sort out some technical issues, so I guess things will be cleared up soon enough. As of right now, the page is still VIP only.

Yes and lots of people are rightly up in arms about it still only being VIP too, but from some of the threads on Spectrum it will be unlocked and probably after the stream which isn't live it's pre recorded but they delayed it anyway cause they want to get the Twitch chat happening which if you ask me is one of the DUMBEST things they could have done.
Also I think the PTU is now open to all as long as you have a game package, as I'm now able to get in, so if you goto the RSI website my account then down the bottom will be a yellow PTU button click it and follow the instructions and you should be good to go

OK, cool. Thanks man. I'll keep an eye on what is happening and update the article as more information becomes available.

Yeah, I know of people who have planned their day around the livestream. It was organised for too long for it to be delayed at the last minute.

I am hearing that PTU is now open to all backers.

The Tumbril Tonk is now available to purchase for all

The Tumbril Tonk is now available to purchase for all

I was there, had so much fun with the Tonk meme, the cheeky boys even edited the Wikipedia page about Tonk, it now reads Large battle vehicle built by Tumbril Land Systems.

 

[Excalabur50]

There's a petiton going on Spectrum to change the name to Tonk too! And I said yes.

 

[Dark NighT]

Its been deleted now, but gosh that was a lot of fun.
