Daily Deals Introduced

Hello,

i am not sure of the right place to post this but one thing i would like to see in a hopefully future patch/release is when fighting in groups is more time to pick up your named drops when fighting, it seems currently only have around 4 seconds before someone pouches your drop. which i am sure that i am not the only one frustrated with this, some people in these groups are not even fighting they just bird-dog waiting for a drop, hover over it to make it hard for you to click and secure your named drop. i missed picking up my first Legendary drop because of this, not cool... "please help stop the pouching!"

on the lighter side i do love the game!

Thanks Rick!

I want to preface this comment by saying, I really love GGG and I'm happy to support you guys. I feel like people who complain about the pricing of microtransactions really don't understand just how difficult it is for startup companies to make money in this industry.

Overall I think the slight increases, pushing most microtransactions (that were on sale previously) up around two dollars, were perfectly fine.

What I don't think is okay is to increase the price of something that was previously "on sale".

I faithfully insta-bought the blue cyclone effect assuming that the skill would be better and that it was a good deal, only to find out that I've almost immediately lost 1 dollar for no reason.
That being said I think I still netted an overall savings in shop tokens, but I just find it a little bit preposterous to decrease the prices of something that was "on sale". Definitely the kind of thing that will make people more wary of purchasing something from your store.

I hope that doesn't sound too harsh, I really do love the game and I'm happy with the cosmetic system.


One final thing, are you guys planning on fixing the fiery visage clipping through 80% of helmet models? Otherwise I'd like a refund, lol.

On a second note, has GGG considered making the "$" icon blink for 1 hours if there are new items/sales introduced or until the player click on it?

Kinda like how mailbox blink when you get a new mail.

Please, no blinking icons, health bars, or any other screen clutter unless there is a way to disable it. The gem leveling bars and party health bars already clutter up the screen too much.

strong argument for removing or shortening the timer, it's my opinion as well.

I would love to give regular donations - BUT: The game is not running yet on my pc.....

I am still hanging around in act3 normal, trying to get piety´s key, but can´t,because game is breaking down everytime she dies.

Dear Devs, this is costing you a lot of money, because I am not the only one who plays on win32 2GB Ram. Please, fix your Game, and give us a chance to do s.th. for your Portemonnaie :)))

To give you feedback for the Prices: I think they are ok, as long as you stick with your system of not selling items ( I love this philosophy), it is normal to make visuell effects little bit more expensive. As long as the stash stays at a reasonable price, I would not mind if the pets and other things become pretty expensive. Don´t care for 5 $ more or less on that point.

Have you tried adding:

-gc 2

to your POE start line? I'm also on Win32 (with 3GB ram) It helped me quite a bit with Piety crashes.

So if we find out that something we purchased now costs less and send you a message noting this will we have those points refunded? Just curious :P

If you're unhappy about it, our support team can make you happy. The purchase is appreciated either way though!

does this mean everybody now just has to spam support with requests for reclaiming the points already spent on microtransactiont-items which are now on the weekly sale to save some bucks?

if yes chris please rename "sale of the week" to "exchange item of the week to a cheaper one". i really hope it's just that guy who is allowed to do it.

Alright, I am way confused.

Chris states all "on sale" banners are gone. Not true.

Let's take the "verdant" weapon effect. It used to be 200 points. Now it's 130, but still has a sale banner. So, is it really 200 and on sale for 130? Or is the new price 130 and can go lower with a daily deal?

I love GGG, but shop pricing seems to be the one thing the aren't transparent about.

PLEASE make the $50.00 give 515 points!! I don't want to spend $20, $40 (Two $40) or $70 (One $50 + Four $5) just to get flat values. After all, $50 is the cost of a standard game, so I imagine a fair bit of purchases are in that range? I personally cannot stand the odd number left over because everything in the cash shop is a multiple of 5. The 516 points given to $50 makes no sense! No one can use the 1 point and so it just annoys people, leading them to NOT buy the $50. You should do this with the $5.00 and $10.00, as well. Just make them 45/95!!!

I like some of the price changes though. The daily deals may be a good way of getting all of the people who were ALMOST willing to get the item before.

@ people in general
Don't be tasteless and ask for a refund of points since the prices were reduced. Cash shop items have no logical "value" to them like a common good. If you were willing to pay for it at the old price, then that's what it was worth to you. The fact that GGG would offer a refund clearly shows some respect towards their customers. Give them the same respect by not asking for the refund. (Do you really think it's worth everyone's time to get 35 points back...?)

I think it would help on the Daily Deals if you included Was/Now info, so people can see how much the deal is.

Let me know once there are cats in the pet shop. Until then I'm only interested in more stash tabs. =3

Seriously, please make a couple of cats!!!

Cats in general are OP, which is why cats have that I will do whatever I want philosophy. If GGG adds cats, they will have to be balanced by Jack Russell Blink Dog packs (which could replace any flicker strike mob revives).
