/popcorn - the daily deals and microtransaction thread

Holy shit! 57 pets on sale this weekend.

Most shocking extreme prices are the last 2:
Lightning Scorpion Pet at 800 points
Weta Pet at 2 points

Who would ever pay $80.00 USD for 1 pet?
"You've got to grind, grind, grind at that grindstone..."
Necessity may be the mother of invention, but poor QoP in PoE is the father of frustration.

I don't remember the exact price now but I think it's like $140 or $150 USD normally. I'm not a pet guy but I was looking at them randomly a while back and had quite a bit of sticker shock on that one myself. I was actually going to make a thread about the ridiculous price of it but figured it was old news. Crazy though, huh? At the regular price you have this choice: buy 2 brand new video games and take yourself out for a nice steak dinner or buy 1 pet in PoE. LOL.

If you have to make such a choice, you're probably not the target audience for this pet.

Must be nice to be wealthy. But even if I could afford extra bling there are just so many QoL features missing from PoE and such major balance problems that I'd not support that much. And don't even get me started on how shitty trade chat is with "seller is AFK" bullshit insanity. I finally ponied up $60.00 for the Legacy League Supporter Pack as I got an Albino Roah feather right out of the gate and later in Merc act 4 a Rogue LS that said it would drop a corrupted item dropped a 6L chest, followed a few days later by a Jack The Axe weapon and a nice shield to complete my Champion tank build and get me to level 90 in 77 days of casual playing. That was fun and worthy of supporting GGG, but otherwise it's been pretty much SSF starvation for my casual playing so I don't see GGG as deserving a super amount of financial support. Of course with such high RNG in PoE everyone's playing experience will vary.

According to the PoE Specials (ya there are 57 pets on sale... I had to add them all to the Daily Deals... fortunately I won't need to update them again until Tuesday) the normal price is 1100 points for that scorpion pet.

Agree POE isn't perfect. But it's the closest to perfection in the ARPG market and GGG is continuously improving on it. In my own small way, I'll like to see my support as an encouragement to them to keep on going :)

Also agree everyone's experience and mileage vary so we should all support and pay for only what we think make sense.

A dance-off?

Boring. :/
all dance effects are 37.5% off

apparently these cost 40 points each normally? could have sworn they were only 15. these would sell a lot better if you could toggle them to replace your idle animation, even though that would look stupid it would be really funny
