Meant to buy Supporter Edition, but accidentally bought just Access

[calicogirl 1]

I purchased the 30$ DayZ Alpha Access on Steam, but I was meaning to purchase the 80$ Supporter Access for DayZ. Is there any way that I can pay the other 50$ to upgrade to Supporter without having to buy it all over again for 80$? I was going for the Supporter and purchased the wrong thing. Is this possible or am I just going to have to buy it again?! 

Can I donate 50$ and still gain access to the Supporter Edition or get a refund for the 30$ and rebuy at the 80$?

Hello there

 

Your best bet is to ask at the Bis forums or raise a support ticket from their store (assuming thats where you got it).

Lemme know how this turned out, when the SA hit, I just paid like a bolt of lightening not realising the BIS site had a supporters addition.

I feel like I let the Team down with this.

I sent a ticket on their website earlier today. However, I purchased the game through Steam, not the online store. Otherwise, I would have realized the price difference and automatically assumed that the 79.99$ was the Supporter Edition, not the 29.99$ (for the obvious price difference). I would have much rather gotten the Supporter Edition than the regular Alpha Access. I guess I'll just have to wait for a reply and see, but I was hoping that someone here might know if anyone else has run into this problem and it has been fixed for them.

I'll be sure to let you know when I figure it out. I'll send you a PM or something.

 

I have also posted on the DayZ Steam Discussion Forums, but no help so far.

I also bought game on Steam but didnt know about supported edition until now and i want it

OP have you found a way to upgrade?

[calicogirl 1]

If you haven't activated the key in Steam yet you can naturally donate/gift the game for your friend and ask money of it. Then just buy the supporter edition and activate it in your Steam.

If you already activated the game in your Steam I afraid it's too late.

 

Note that this isn't a staff/mod from the forums, a regular member. However, if you wanted to do this I guess you could.

Steam didn't actually give a 'key' to the game, it just let you download it...if someone else got a key I guess it would help?

 

I haven't received a reply to my ticket yet.

I guess I'll have to wait for that =/.

+1 from me, can you post the Steam response here when they get back to you pls :)

Hello,

we are sorry for the inconvenience, but upgrade is not possible. We can

give you a refund and you can repurchase the game, however, this option

is only possible if the game key was not redeemed yet.

Best regards,

This is the response I received about this problem. Hope it helps someone...

What's the DayZ Supporter Forum Lounge?

[spinager 152]

Have a friend want the game, give him the 50bucks. Have him buy supporter edition. I remember reading about it. but noticed there was no difference, only the extra money. So if that's the case, you can do as i said.

But you will receive the Arma 2 Collection, A digital map (I havent got it) and there will be a supporter's forum.

so they give you nothing worth 50 bucks and a forum that will be useless, sounds like a great deal

it shows that you like and support the game, if you love it or loved the mod it is a great way for a person to show their love for the game.

'Supporter'/'Hardened'/etc editions of games are akin to the Extended Warranties that are offered in electronics stores and car dealers. lol. If that's you're thing though, go for it!
