Breakdown of Saturday's Marathon Sales Day
|
We've calculated what portion of sales each discounted microtransaction contributed, as a percentage.
Here's the list sorted by timeslot (earliest first):
Here's the list sorted by sales (best-selling first):
Various factors like what time of day it was and how recently we ran a deal on the item probably influenced sales a fair amount, but it's fascinating to see which items are popular. We're not planning to run a promotion like this again soon, but if we do decide to repeat it in the future, we'll definitely built on what we learnt this time. Most heavily-requested deals that didn't make it into the Saturday special will be featured in upcoming daily deals over the next few days/weeks. Thanks again for your awesome support, it really helps! Last edited by Chris#0000 on Jun 9, 2014, 1:06:21 AM

OMG First for the first time in my life (yo dawg).
On a more constructive note: Chris, me and many people wanted the Hatred effect :( I spent at least 18 of the 24 hours checking the website and nothing. I really want that effect for my current build, and the only reason I don't buy it is because it costs 90 points and I only have 60. I really wanted a sale on that one :( I'm in an abusive relationship with life. It keeps beating the hell out of me and I'm too cowardly to leave it.

I was very surprised no pets went on sale.
Ascension tied to Lab is the worst thing GGG has done...apart from GGG's philosophy on Trading. Oh and Gambling Loot boxes. And selling out to tencent.
I used to love GGG. I supported to ensure GGG remained independent, now I just wish I could get my money back. -_- |

Was hoping for Seraph pack.. wish I got the Elite armor pack now :(
Edit: Heavily requested items on sale for the few days/weeks? Seen people waiting the Seraph pack like me, hope it's on the list :) Last edited by Snel#0551 on Jun 9, 2014, 1:13:03 AM

I am wondering why the 24hr sale was back-to-back, i.e. only 1 item every hour.
From what i've read on reddit, a fair number of people missed the sales because of time zone differences. Why weren't all 24 sales items discounted over a 24hr period? This way, nobody would have missed an item due to time zone differences. Is there a particular reason why GGG chose to run the marathon this way? Are people more likely to purchase the current sales item if they don't know what's coming up next? If all items were discounted at 50% for a 24hr period, wouldn't more people be buying/spending points to purchase the deals? I feel this 24hr sale (back-to-back) sends the wrong message that sleep is not important, which is a very dangerous one (health first!).

Nice one. I would have bought a few others except for that pesky thing...what do you call it?... Oh yea sleeping. I like the idea of putting all items on sale for 24 hours VS one every hour. It's not very realistic to expect people to lose a days sleep for MTX sales.
Actually even having a 12 hour sale on a group of mtx items would be acceptable. Saved Last edited by 60x7#2399 on Jun 9, 2014, 1:31:18 AM

" Am also curious about this. |

Like I said on reddit. This should probably have been 12 hours then a repeat for the next 12 hours then a new set of 12+12 hours to accommodate all time zones better.
