If you do that on the Dangerous Announcements category it may be less noisy.
But yeah that would be a nice feature.

Hey Titan Backers… batch 2 is coming in March!
For this new batch, we are considering the following;
- Price of $299
- 30 backer minimum
- Same great packaging
- No Titan backer coupon
- No Hall of Titans
What do you original backers think about batch 2 parameters?

I think it’s pretty fair. I still feel like I made a good deal, even tho’ I cant get it installed until batch 2 drops.
(Looking at you future implants with a huge discount.)

I think it sounds fair - the hall and the coupon were for those who took the “initial risk”, so to say; and the new price is a really good one. The minimum of 30 backers should be totally achievable, and I think it’s actually nice to provide the same beautiful packaging.
So 
and I think it’s great you prepare to do another batch!

No issues with that

I got into the Titan campaign for two reasons.
A. To get magnets for me, 
B. To open the magnet market it up for regular supply. Sounds like a to me!
I’d agree though, the Hall of Titans and, to a lesser extent, the coupons really are for the early backers.
Kind of exciting to see the Titan getting past the first giddy rush order.

I think those are quite fair parameters! 
Even more since you actually asked us!

As long as these ones don’t magically get laser etched… but seriously, no issue at all. Appreciate ya keeping the Hall Of Titans original though.

I dont have a horse in this Race, but my opinion for what it’s worth.
Putting myself in the shoes of the first batch backers
The coupon offered with the first batch is worth far more than $200 difference.
So the pioneers “still win”.
On top of that is the hall of Titans and early adopter privilege.
So that is
One question that comes in my mind when I read this: What about the numbing gel?! It’s not mentioned on the list. @amal
And there is another thing that makes me a little bit sad… Well, I was first thinking about writing this not public but since I’m someone who is not hiding thoughts, I give it a try here.
Also sorry if I’m getting a little bit emotional now, still confused. I lost my job yesterday, because the small store that I started to work for a little while ago must close forever at the end of the month. The lockdown was to long for them.
The other thing that hurts me a bit more than expected is this wonderful box. Some might think now, why I’m complaining about this.
But I thought that it was specially made for us, the first Titan backers. This made it so special for me. Now reading that the second batch will come also in this box, feels for me like it’s not that unique anymore. Don’t get me wrong, but all those who were first backers took all the risk, not the people who are coming now, who had a lot more time to save money for this second batch. This box was for me a little special gift since I’ve heard of Michelle who spend months to do the awesome design specially for us backers.
It leaves me a little bit heartbroken. It’s nearly the same sad feeling that I had after hearing that it will be not possible to get our custom laser etching…
I’m okay with all other points, but thinking about so much more Titans coming up in the future… It hurts me.
Sorry if I sound like a little stupid kid right now, but I think of all the first backers who don’t normally have that much money around. Some backers needed the full time of the campaign to join in. Some others had no problem getting a entire Titan collection.
Honestly… I already saved money for the upcoming second batch of Titans, but after loosing my job, everything changed. I’ve been through a lot of s#*t the past years… I might be only 18 years old, but I was as good as dead already two times in my life… The Titan is at the moment the only light in this hard times with Corona, lockdown and all that stuff… So it hurts even more, knowing that can’t get me a second Titan now… even if I would really love to have one or even two more… I not even sure if I can buy me some other things with the backer coupon anymore… everything changed.
And now after reading this with the box, I start to imagine those people who saved money since last year to buy themselves four, five, six or even more Titans…
Good for them…but the Titan might be a “once in lifetime” thing for me, maybe also for a few other people here. So I would like to have the first batch to be remembered as unique as possible.
Sorry again for being so emotional right now, also for the long post here. And sorry if all I was writing above doesn’t make any sense for you. Maybe it’s only a that I’m overreacting a little bit after this shock yesterday so it might be better I should leave the forum for some time until I’m feeling better and don’t write such stupid stuff anymore. Sorry.
Farewell for now.

Hey Magneta - first of all, feel hugged or whatever might bring a little smile onto your face. I feel very bad for your situation, and I seriously hope you will find a solution for that… sometimes they just magically appear to you, try to keep hoping! 
I really like what you wrote, and after reading (and totally understanding!) it, I asked myself why I was even happy that all Titans will be shipped in this nice box…
I feel like Michelle made that beautiful packaging specifically for us, and that still stands - when she made it, nobody knew if there would ever be a second batch. So she made that with us in mind, and to give this very exclusive and kinda high-end magnet a worthy wrapping. Now, I would be a bit sad if this nice design would no longer get used… and if I imagine this special magnet getting sent just in a “normal” little paper box, it just feels unfitting to me (just my humble opinion, feel free to disagree 
).
Yeah, I think I understand that… for me, knowing that I was one of the “first batch Titans” ( ), and that my picture is sitting in some Hall of Fame (which few people outside of this crazy wonderful community will ever visit^^) is enough, but everyone draws this line somewhere else, and I can understand if the box is equally important for you.
Maybe there is some possible compromise, like, same box, but in a dark grey or even white? So there is still some distinction, but the Titan is always shipped in a box that looks worthy of it^^
And even if not, try to remember that Michelle made that box just for you (or rather, us all), and that will always stand - you do not lose that, even if other, later Titan buyers might get the same boxes (and hopefully be equally happy about it!)

Never be sorry for expressing yourself!
And you don’t sound neither stupid nor kiddish!
Totally get where you’re coming from!
And that might be shit now…
But you know what? The bright side is that everything will change again!
For that is the Vicissitude of life!
also…
Jumping on that train as well!! 
(We are seriously lacking hug emojis here!)
From my personal point of view… the surprise we all got when seeing this special box is something that no one else will have.
It was such a strong collective feeling that it even prompted us to open a whole new thread as to not spoil others!
Not to mention the special card we got.
But reading your post I can totally understand your point as well!
That sounds like a cool Idea!
That’s my way of seeing it too. 
Anyway, @Magneta, there is no need for you to run away!
You expressed yourself, were brave, and we’re all here by your side whenever you need!
