Took one for the team and gave it a try :) Figured I'd offer my two cents!

First, pointers to anyone considering getting premium!

Rewards: Alright I suppose. I think the biggest reward everyone wants is that extra Que! Resource duplication is also nice! Those are really the only reasons to upgrade to Premium (10 USD)

Extra Queues: Only limited to ONE extra Que per unit type (No, you cant have a second Elite Que up and running, only a 2nd normal que lol) Unlocking time/points for each Que type is listed below

Resource Duplication: Up to 20M of each resource MAX can be duplicated at the end of the season, given you are able to raid that much!




Points: To get to the top step (30) you need to gather up 1750 points. You can get 10 points for each daily contract you complete, and 40 for each weekly contract you complete. Most are not to hard, pretty easy. But say you don't have a ton of units to PvP or use on infests, you might only be able to complete 6 dailies, and 3 weeklies.
That's 540 points a week. ( (10 pts x 6 dailies) x 7 days = points, + 120 from 3 completed weekly contacts)

It would take you about three and a half WEEKS to get that 1750 points in order to max out your premium rewards.

That will give you about (In a 30 day month):

30 days of an extra Infantry Que Acquired at level 1 (0 points needed)
(Will also be eligible for up to 1,000,000 of each type of raided resource to be duplicated at the end of the month)

22-21 days of an extra Armored Corps Que Acquired at level 12 (660 points needed)

Eligible for up to 10,000,000 TOTAL of each type of raided resource to be duplicated - level 16 (900 points needed)

16-15 days of an extra Artillery Que Acquired at level 20 (1140 points needed)

Eligible for up to 20,000,000 TOTAL of each type of raided resource to be duplicated - level 28 (1620 points needed)

8-6 days of an extra Air Force Que Acquired at level 30 (1750 points needed)

The only way to get points faster is to just buy levels with the level finisher. (30 USD)

So in order to get everything instantly your going to pay 40 USD, or be happy with the que times above!
Which brings me to my next point;

Level Finishers: Stackable. Any extra level finishers you buy will transfer over to the next month. HOWEVER, the same CANNOT be said for points.

If you buy up 30 level finishers at the beginning of the month, so your starting out with all rewards/30 levels/1750 points, you cannot start stacking next month's points up by finishing contracts. You are capped at the 30 levels/1750 points until next "Season" (month) starts, at which point you start at whatever level corresponds with however many extra level finishers you had accumulated the previous month.

Unless of course Plarium DOES count the points you get the previous month, and just isn't currently showing you stacking up those extra points.

Extra pointers:
w/o buying levels, your going to have about a week to raid 10M of EACH resource lol. Good luck with that!

Say you DO start out with 30 levels, you have 30 days to conjure up 20M of each resource to take max advantage of the duplication.
Say your able to do your 10, 100k raids every day, for 30 days, thats 30M resources, TOTAL
Divide that by the 3 raidable resources, and you only get 10M of each resource collected over the 30 day period. And thats only if you get PERFECT 100k raids every time. (never happens)
Also, of course, because raid mechanics, usually you end up getting 25k U/T, and 50k C.
So really, at the end of the month, your going to have a total payout of,  7.5M U, 7.5M T, and 15M C.



To Players: In my opinion, If you buy premium, then you HAVE to buy 30 levels in order to make it worth it. Cant really do either without the other!
That being said, is it worth it? If Contract POINTS were stack-able towards the next month, then I would say yes, probably.
But as it stands now, I say its best to save your money. I don't think 4 extra ques for 30 days is worth 40 bucks.

Sure, you might say the Resource duplication makes it worth it, but remember. The only reason your raiding for those resources, is to buy units. Your not going to get units faster if you raid more!

So in the end, in terms of pumping out more units, faster, having more resources doesn't really help.

END OPINION: 40 bucks for 4 extra ques for 30 days, and (given perfect raids EVERY DAY)  7.5M U, 7.5M T, and 15M C.
Worth it?
No.





OR

Maybe Plarium's "season" IS actually 3 months long, and I just happen to be getting the (very) short end of the winter season now.

In which case, add 2 months to EVERYTHING ABOVE, and my solid opinion Yes. @ just over 13 bucks a month, with the above que perks running for 2-3 months (and the time to take FULL advantage of resource duplication) Its a great deal :)

Nope

New "SEASON" (30 days) just started

Plarium really needs to retype that to "MONTH" lol.

Don't get the battle pass, not worth it AT ALL! :)
