@orclover, yes, and by dropping the subscriptions they may have lost a lot of predictably forward money also.

Here is my theory:

1. Totem made a mistake in dropping the discounts. And Sales have dropped.
2. Totem is bringing back the discount system but it will be in reverse of the previous system
3. Cards will start expensive based on excuses such as exclusivety contracts, trademarking, production costs.
4. The people without self-control will buy the super expensive cards, then discounts will applied over time but randomely.
5. This program becomes more like a free to play model, if you can wait and be patient you will get discounts...if you want the product now you will overpay.
6. Estonika is a test card to see how many have to buy first day with a 60% increase in price
7. Then we will see how many buy when they drop her price.
8. We know they are creating a new discount system, we know their excuses for the increase in price are weak, and we know a portion of the base will buy cards at any price because they need it now.

It would be good if as well as skins & securing marketing rights Totem could at the same time ensure members can use certain publicity pics content for FS scene making without the ***** of copyright hassels.

91hebasu, giving their customers what they want is just good business sense if they want people to keep buying their product. Plenty of other porn sites (Brazzers, Wicked, DP) are making ***** Squad parodies to capitalize on the popularity of the movie and none of them are charging extra just because they provided content their customers wanted. If the card did cost significantly more to produce then that is some reasonable justification but the "we know we have a high demand on this cosplay since the Harley Quinn madness is in full swing" reasoning is just price gouging because they feel they can.

Th new version has a feature: "Push 3 previews every day until 21s previews."
I don't need this option. How can I stop this feature?

It appears there is no refresh/back/forward button on the software forum pages now. But I noticed by right clicking the mouse anywhere those options are a small menu popup now. I assume that is what is meant by edit forum options by right mouse click.

As i understand it, this card features items and costume that was exclusively designed for this card. Whereas the other cosplay cards features massproduced costumes and items which are readily bought in shops for less than 25 euroes.

If totem need to work current trends to get new customers at high flagfall prices then they should give it a try. It is hard enough for me to make fullscreen scenes to suit outfits like permanent high heels, let alone specific costumes, so I don't have to buy them. We need patience.
I suggest full all nude XXX cards (real nude without striptease dance cards) if Totem wanna charge double the price for one model. I would surely buy that.

172RGM is way too caps lock happy and needs to turn the caps lock off

Everyone can hear you just fine without all the rude yelling and screaming, Thank you

Great job, and the Harley's skin is fine 😊

For those that have the Harley xx card.. They put that skin in there for everyone aparently.

Holy software forums changes as well batman !! The skin color matches now.. Great !

Enjoy !

Oh, I DID buy the card and enjoy it.. TY Totem. Good Job.

my view will probably be unpopular, but why WOULDN'T the cost of cards go up a bit. I'v been a memeber from WAY back and I don't remember the price realy ever going up.. Yes, it's a shock when prices increase. No, I personaly don't mind the increase for special cards, or if needed to provide quality I wouldn't mind a small increase. OK everyone start yelling at me. :)

TOTEM IS GETTING GREEDY,,WAY OVER PRICED CARD,,,24 CREDITS,,,COME ON

WOW .......

Most posts stated that they liked the fact that Totem provided something different and the Cosplay theme was welcomed so I don't see your point.

People questioned the price and this is fair enough, they are customers, No post seemed to chastise the Totem team either, it's feedback. I bought the card at the asking price, I am enjoying the show, Totem made a sale, I doubt any feelings have been ***** so all is good.

Cheers.

Feeling out of the loop, as I had to look up "cosplay".... but I do know about Harley Quinn.

Anyway, no big deal for me. IF the price is warranted, customers will pay it, and Totem will create more cards like this to meet the demand. If members feel the price is not warranted, they won't buy these cards, and fewer will be produced.

That new Jayden Cole card does not look like Jayden Cole. Just a weird angle I guess, but her nose looks strange.

@Number6

You probably right. I've never payed that much attention before :)...Babe first details later LOL

@DANO70, @Ironman

I think (but I am not certain) the size of the "Standing" png image is affected by the amount of text in the models description.

If you look at any card in your collection you will see that the top of the model's head is located level with the model name/show title and her feet are level with the bottom of the trash can. The more text there is in the model's description, the lower the trashcan and therefore the model's png appears larger.

In the case of Estonika the description is quite long and you have the added text for the Disclaimer. Consequently Estonikas png fills the whole frame.

This also affects the pane on the right hand side where the comments, photos, videos and clips appear. When the trash can is lower there are more comments, photos etc visible in the right hand pane.

If I am correct then it would be nice if Totem inserted some blank lines when the model's description is short. This would mean that the whole pane is always used on both sides and there is a full sized png of the model.

Again I stress that the above is mainly supposition on my part but seems to fit with the 15 or so cards I've looked at.

@Ironman

I realize what you mean the image is larger than normal. I Don't espect that to allways be that large. The slider option allows you to see it too when you click on the normal store card image that's what I was refering to.

I did not like the price increase without notification and transparency. After they opened up about the reasons, that the ONE card is marked up, I decided to buy, it is basically the price of 1.67 cards which is not the end of the world. The card is good, if you are a comic lover, it is probably an all time favorite. It isn't worth the extra unless the 100 or 200 better cards are viewed as cheap but they aren't ***** a permanant global increase and we can just wait 2 weeks to see her for normal price. If somebody is screwed by this card it is their own impatience that lead to it.

I'm guessing that the girl wanted more to do this card, or someone has set their heart on getting a Ferrari... ;)

Can't wait for Ivana Sugar.

@DANO70

You don't have to own the card she's still in the demo carousel just left or right click on her image and you will she her full image with all her info.

But as i look at other cards it seems like they are starting to update them and make them bigger.

For me it's a shame. I was interested by the preview images, but not at that price. If the price comes down in three to six months i'd reconsider, but then how will the people that buy it this week feel if the price comes down in three to six months?

@harshie - I like your sense of humor :)

@others: As I can see there are some satisfied users despite of highest price. If you accepted the price that's ok, it's not my business. I have request to all this people. Is there anyone who can tell us if he noticed some important differences between Estonika's show and shows from the other girls? Why this card is better than the others? I'm asking for honest opinion. I would like to know because as I wrote in other topic:

lukaszr: [...] Demo doesn't look any better than others. Show duration isn't any longer (35 min). Even comments and ratings aren't any better. BTW: i don't have trust to members who are giving rate 10/10 - they're giving ten points to all of girls in here. For me this comments are useless. [...]

I don't want to be rude, I'm just curious if there is any other reason to buy this card (except of wallpapers and skins which I can do myself).

Another thing: please, stop saying/writing comments like "if you don't like it, don't buy it". This is old true and we all know this. So what we should do? Shut our mouths and stay calm and quietly? This will take us to nowhere. But if we will start to pointing out some bad things, we have a chance to change something. At least that's good start. I was slightly dissapointed when I saw the price and I'm glad to see that I'm not alone.

Another thing: I'm coriuos if all wallpapers, skins and other stuff will be available for customers who already bought this card? If I'll buy this card now, will I get the access to this extra content without any extra payments?
BTW: imo any info about extra content should be given soon after the card was released or in the same time.

@Ironman

I don't have the actual card but I think your talking about your purchased card window. I thought you were talking about the store window, the slider option only works in the store.

Dorsai6 You have said exactly what I was going to write. I would just like to add that when I purchsed the card I thought theextra cost was because it was a duo card !. BTW what is all this about Harley Quin?

Me personally i'm not even thinking about it anymore it's bought done and over with and she'll dance till her feet *****.

@DANO70 I don't think that's what i mean i'm talking about the BIG image on the left side of the application with her description. That can be adjusted?

I think Totem should has announced the price in advance, but what the heck, the difference is less than the price of a Hershey Bar these days!

WOW........

Members ***** about wanting diversity
Members scream for cosplay
Members raise hell about wanting something new

Totem provides

This is diverse cosplay and definitely something new

Members then ***** about it because they didn't like the price difference and are thinking they're owed full disclosure.

They told you about the price difference by simply putting the price up. Just like they do with every other card. They shouldn't have to tell you to read the price first. That's on you.

​Anyway, feel free to continue with chastising Totem for trying to provide what they thought you wanted because it's posted all over the forum


Enjoy the show

@Ironman79

I think you mean the "use slider console in store" option on the advanced settings tab. That effects how card info is desplayed. Full gui or right side.

I first download VG (a long time ago) because of the costumes. That is what I really want from VG. So if the only way we can get costumes like before is by paying more then by all means charge me more. Please, please give us more cosplay!

By the way, some action poses would have been nice in the bonus pictures since this is an action heroine/villain (is hero now the correct word for female hero's?)

What i do like and i hope this becomes standard across the board and not just for this "special card" but also for the rest of the cards and even older ones, is the full size image with the description on the left side of the istripper program. That looks a lot better than the small image of before.

Jayden Cole, Nathaly Cherie, Adria Rae

I bought it and had not noticed the higher price, but I'm not surprised it was higher price considering its a unquie card.

Hey guys,

I fell into the category of "OMG it's the Harley Quinn card" and just hit download without checking the price. I wasn't too happy when I noticed how much I paid.

The makeup, hair and costume are all amazing but what saved me from being angry that I paid extra was the model who did a fantastic job, she is very energetic and used the props very well. To me this should be the normal standard of creativity that Totem should have to create a POD with other adult sites.

Lately you have provided some very beatiful models but the standard of direction in the shows is very boring, the routines are so similar, no theme to them like this card has.

What I am now annoyed about is the explanation provided for why this card is more expensive. I understand the props and the makeup took extra effort but I still don't see that as a reason for the higher price tag. The card layout does not seem that much different that it makes it a "collectors" item, it's just the model on a coloured background in costume.

"We have created lots of atrworks like wallpapers and skins etc that will be available soon" ?? .. I did not purchase these or there is no mention I did, are these just going to be availabe to the people that buy the card ??.

But the last line got me - "We know we have a high demand for Cosplay since Harley Quinn madness is in full swing" ... So you decided to price gouge your customers because you made a card that's topical ???.. I understand it is done everywhere but I still don't see the justification on this case.

I can afford the extra, I didn't check the price, it would of been there so I can't say I got rippped off. Had the model not done an amazing job I may be feeling differently. This card is the one that Totem could have used to promote their site, it could of got extra people interested but how many will be put off by the price ?? ..

I am happy with the card, the model made the show so I feel I got value for money but I am not sure I am overly happy with the reasoning.

Anyway cheers for being creative, it's long overdue .....

while i ***** the new look of harley for the movie , i think she looks like a juggalette. this card seems totally worth it to me and while the price differential did give me pause, it did not stop me
at the nd of the day a girl with a solid, sensual performance and nice cans decides me every time. just my two cents.

I'm torn as I want this card but I ***** the random price hike. Are they going to jack up the price any time they think a card will be popular?

Unrelated to the price, I'm curious as to why they decided to go with the red and yellow colors rather than the original red and blue of the movie. It's not a huge deal but if they are going to blatantly "parody" a popular character so closely that they need a disclaimer why not match these details? The Axel Braun porn parody movie didn't seem to care about copying these small details.

I think I would pay 26 credits for the barroness again before I buy this...Sorry. I love Sabresse in everything she did BTW.

What you get from Totem is bargain at these prices. I didn't have any problem with the price of this card, I bought it without hesitation.

Just having fun pouring gas on the fire!

:)

16,5 (1,65 old system) credits as a tripple diamond would be ok for this card. For 22 as a triple diamond I wont buy this card. 22 would be ok for a duo or triplett card not for a solo card.

I believe the last time Totem did a premium card was when they issued the card with four girls on a single card (Sex On the Beach). That made some sense, since the costs of four girls is certainly more than one. Now we have the same kind of price increase because of a costume and make-up? I'm not buying. Maybe we should get a price reduction on all bikini cards- certainly not a lot of costume being used there. Maybe Totem is trying to see if their customers are price sensitive- let them know you are!

Nobody has a gun to your head saying buy this card or else. End of story. End of the day its your choice.
