I'm trying to figure out why they sell dawn in packs of 4 when you need at least ten to do either of the above actions? Can you gain it in game as well as buying it?

[LilyasAvalon]

The same reason they're sold in packs of 22 and 45, to throw you off so you keep buying more to get an even 10.

I was hoping for a less cynical answer since the above was the only thing I'd actually considered

For the same reason why they sell bioware points in the amounts they do and then how they price the dlc.

 

Dawn can only refresh actions and advance the day

Sad but true. It's the same system they do/used to do with the Bioware points.

 

I've heard something about Dawn potentially saving your arse if your health reaches 0, but I honestly don't know.

[Dwarva]

Nah my health has reached zero twice now and dawn doesn't come into it. The thing with Bioware points though was there were so many variable options with different point values that it wasn't so blatantly obvious. But when you've got two options for using it, both of which use multiples of ten, offering four is just so blindingly obviously scammage! I've tweeted them to see if they have a response. 

 

Really the only thing I'd accept as reasonable is that they're planning to add further options for lesser values of Dawn down the line...

[LilyasAvalon]

Well, think about it like this. I actually did buy some Dawn, I bought myself a pack of 22, then remembered that that I needed an even number and well, two packs of 4 later...

Is anyone else disappointed that The Last Court is just another pay-to-play-at-a-normal-pace money grab?

 

I'm so disheartened that the $75 I paid for a pre-order somehow isn't enough to include a simple pre-release 1990-ish text-based browser mini game that is not built around the sickening annoying and morally reprehensible pay-to-continue-or-else-wait model that is so pervasive in among lessor publishers. I expected more from Bioware.

 

No, I will not buy Dawn.

Well, I'd say it's because this system is already built into the Storynexus engine. And in their other games, you may be able to spend different amounts of "premium currency", not just 10. Someone was just lazy (or evil) and left it there.

Don't buy it then. It's easier to just wait in real time

Not really, it's a new kind of model that has cropped up recently and it no more dubuious than subscription based games from the early 2000s. If you're going to let a business practice cloud your enjoyment then by all means.

I've run into a different problem entirely on my game. Apparently I need Dawn to advance to the next market day since it isn't actually rolling over every 24 hours like it should be.

 Odd. It's been two days and just now it rolled over once.

[Dwarva]

I tweeted Failbetter who said the four were initially included because there was an option to spend four dawn on an action that they later made free. Said they're looking to remove it. 

 

I wants my 85p back.
