/popcorn - the daily deals and microtransaction thread

Thank you!

Ghost Flicker Strike effect 27% off - 65 points.

e: As an addendum, the Awakening supporter packs are now available, if you didn't already see them (you totally did)

I'm not sure what the idea is with the amulet microtransactions that show a glowy ghost guy above your character, or how they're relevant. The weapon effects look quite nice though, but I wonder how many variations they can really do on "glowing weapon" without being super kawaii anime rainbow.

As for designing a divination card, I hope someone with a spare unique item design also gets the Highgate pack to design a Divination card, and puts those two things together. Or heck, if you have two designs, make a unique map with the only loot being said Divination card (or that map being the only place to get that specific card) and your own snowflake unique item only obtainable from those cards.

No $11,000 pack this time, though! $1100 is the limit. Mad props to Charan and whoever else bought those when they were available.

The Wiki says that Soul Nexus Clarity was on sale during
2015-04-27??? Can't believe I missed it lol

Maybe it happened during the dead of night, when unsuspecting bargain hunters were slumbering.

No... I think the Wiki is in error, it was Hussar Wings that was on sale on the 27th.

I think the shackled demons look great! If it appears in party play, it might spook the other players lol

I agree that the weapon effects look nice. The Awakening Weapon effect costs 50 points, yet it has a level of detail comparable to Arcane Weapon that's worth 95 points.

Great value for sure.

Really hoping Anger/Wrath/Hatred go on sale at some point.

Prior to the black friday sale in November the last they have been on sale was like August/June/July 2014.

That's a really good point, I wonder if they'll put them on sale when the expansion comes out because of the buffs.

But again as always, the best method I can think of is to do what you're doing and make a post asking for them!

I doubt it, since GGG determines the Drop-Zone.

Is it just a dropdown thing where you pick the things they let you pick or can you request a bit of leeway with it?

Devourer Maul 38% off - 110 points.

A hammer skin that actually looks pretty cool.

As an irrelevant aside, whenever I click "reply" I always hit the "microtransactions" button from the Shop dropdown. It knows
