Daily Deal Feedback

"
How often do you check the daily deals?

Whenever I log in and think about it, so probably 3-4 times per week.

"
Do you feel that Daily Deals are accessible enough?

The login screen shows one item out of several, so you do have to login, hit M, click specials, wait for the load, and then scroll to see if there is anything interesting. That's a lot of clicking to see if you have a good deal for me. An option to open the daily deals page automatically it when you (first) login each day would be a nice feature. Sorta like a splash screen that other games use to push their sales, but using what you already have in the game. Would be a quick fix :-)

"
Do you use the Watchlist feature?

Yes, though I regularly still miss the sales because the alert is sent by email, and there is no in-game support for the Watchlist at all.

"
Do you prefer sales based on theme or microtransaction type?

I think the mix you've been doing works pretty well. Variety is nice. You could maybe do a combo where you have a skill gem MTX of the day, and an item MTX of the day, and then some special on top of that.

"
What percentage of your microtransaction purchases would you estimates are made because of daily deals?

Less than 20% I think. I usually insta-buy the things I love, and wishlist the things that look okay or won't work for my current build, or MTXes for skills or item types I don't (currently) use. I tend to splurge more on MTXes just after buying a supporter pack than closer to the next pack, because buying points outside of supporter packs feels like a waste when they don't count towards the next pack. That can also be a reason for me to wishlist items, and then daily deal/wishlist interactions remind me of the item when I happen to have points available again.

Are there any features that you would like to see added to how Daily Deals work?

In-game alerts for when wishlisted items are for sale would be useful. In-game management of your wishlist would be useful as well, actually. Maybe an indication if you already have certian MTXes in the Daily Deals, or not. Having to lookup if I already have a certain armour or not reduces the "impulse" part of the purchase :-)

Identity is cheap. Reputation is priceless.

How often do you check the daily deals?
Every day I play (4-5 days a week). It's right there on the login screen.

Do you feel that Daily Deals are accessible enough?
I don't think it could be easier than "Open shop, click Specials".

Do you use the Watchlist feature?
The WHAT feature? There's a watchlist? I will now.

Do you prefer sales based on theme or microtransaction type?
I prefer by type. I like to mix items from different themes, so a whole theme going on sale only gets me one item. Plus, you tend to see people wearing that theme all over the place for a week afterward.

What percentage of your microtransaction purchases would you estimates are made because of daily deals?
Nearly all of them. All my purchases are pack items, mystery chests, and sale items.

Are there any features that you would like to see added to how Daily Deals work?
A forecast of what sales are coming would be nice. I often miss sales if they land on a day I don't have time to play but I almost always have time to stop by the website and buy something.
1. Everyday! (sometimes even several times if I delay my decision what to buy)

2. most are, but some are not reasonable enough to ever consider, if it's only one piece for 200-400 points (back attachments, wings, body armour pieces). Armour sets, weapon effects, portals, pets and tabs are fine though.

3. I used the feature until you offered several MTX per day. The long waiting for a special MTX is not crucial anymore, because you get other stuff in the meanwhile. On the other hand now the same MTX appear several times a month. That makes the watchlist less important, but it's nevertheless useful.

4. I prefer more unexpected/surprising deals! If you always put them out in the same themes it becomes less interesting checking them out, because after the fifth time you already know what is in the list by seeing the first MTX on the homepage on the right side. You can stay with themes, and also with types, but do not make it stale. That would hurt your sales (fewer people will check them out in the future).

5. Estimated 50%! 40% are from supporter packs or third-party-deals (twitch, G2A) and only 5% from non-deals in the MTX-shop.

6. Change it up from time to time. For instance a "nostalgia"-theme with MTX only from the year 2013, and the next day only new ones from 2017. Or offer a collection with the exact pieces a "build-of-the-week" had equipped. And post a picture of a character everyday who has a combination of the MTX on!

Would be nice to have themes after areas in the game, like "crypt" (all bone-style types). In general name your deals.

Give a another 25% discount if someone buys two MTX on the same day. You make a lot more money with that concept. I certainly would buy 2-3 more MTX per month if this would be a thing.

P.S.: I want portal-augmentations!!! ^_^

1.How often do you check the daily deals? - Once a couple of days.

2.Do you feel that Daily Deals are accessible enough? - I have mixed feelings here. It is so so for me. Because the deal is perfect but the price of the Coins is much for me. Not every country in the world can spend the same amount of money.

3.Do you use the Watchlist feature? - Always

4.Do you prefer sales based on theme or microtransaction type? Microtransactions

5.What percentage of your microtransaction purchases would you estimates are made because of daily
deals?
- 25-30%

6.Are there any features that you would like to see added to how Daily Deals work? - More alternative Skill Effects.

Thank you.

How often do you check the daily deals?
Daily while there's at least one thing I'm waiting on a sale for, still at least once a week at random during other times.

Do you feel that Daily Deals are accessible enough?
Yes. Making the MTX entry in the help panel spell it out clearly near the start of the text that "If you don't like how the items strongest for your character look together, or if you run out of item storag space, you can fix both of those at once with a supporter pack including an armour set and buying stash tabs with its points", could keep a few people from quitting because of those issues, I imagine. Might be the more common reason for a first purchase rather than thinking of it like a donation.

Do you use the Watchlist feature?
Yes, but I don't log into the forums as often as the game so I'd prefer it ingame. On days I don't want to start the game, I find it faster to glance over https://www.pathofexile.com/shop/category/daily-deals than to go through the login process.

Do you prefer sales based on theme or microtransaction type?
Theme on workdays, an entire type on the weekends (similar to stash sales) would be great. There need to be more sales including single pieces of armour sets. When a set I only want the Helmet from is on sale but none of its pieces are, that feels bad.

What percentage of your microtransaction purchases would you estimates are made because of daily deals?
At least 90% of my points are spent on items that are on sale, maybe 20% of that are spontaneous purchases of items I wouldn't have considered if they weren't advertised that way. I could imagine buying Supporter Packs more frequently if the "sales rotation" was faster (more items per day). As it stands, I know I may have to wait a few months to get a MTX I want at its real price.

Are there any features that you would like to see added to how Daily Deals work?
Ingame notifications about forum PMs would fulfill my wish to get Watchlist notifications, and would be useful in other ways too. A simple "You have X unread messages" in chat when logging in (or switching characters) would be a great start, I don't think receiving them "live" during gameplay should be a priority (it might even be too distracting to add at all). It's important though that this notification only happens once per group of unread messages. Maybe they could get "unread but already notified" as a state in addition to read and unread.
How often do you check the daily deals?
-> Everyday when daily deal resets.

Do you feel that Daily Deals are accessible enough?
-> Quiet accesible , but goods are not satisfying enough.

Do you use the Watchlist feature?
-> I use it.

Do you prefer sales based on theme or microtransaction type?
-> I prefer both. for example. theme(Seraph) and microtrasaction type(portals) are both good

What percentage of your microtransaction purchases would you estimates are made because of daily deals?
-> I buy almost every microtransactions when they're on daily deal.

Are there any features that you would like to see added to how Daily Deals work?
-> Seraph sets i prefer.
SUGGESTION: When full armor set is in sale, i would like to have all individual peaces also in sale. I've got some armor set peaces from mystery boxes at some point and would like to fill them up but it feels too expensive to only buy gloves and boots for the same price as full set in sale.

Would be cool if there was some type of community poll for selecting specific MTX to appear in daily deals.(not my idea but really interesting just copy it)
