/popcorn - the daily deals and microtransaction thread
|
Ouch!... Another big (32 items this time) sales event. But GGG missed Lightning Scorpion pet... oops. If this keeps up then regular item prices will be meaningless and the sale prices will be the new normal prices. But most of us wait until a sale to buy anyway. The psychology of having a sale to increase mtx purchaces is waning if GGG keeps doing large daily sales for much longer.

" This is the danger of GGG putting too many items on sale daily and bigger quantity of mtx on weekends (plus Friday and Monday) that they will be repeating often. For example, now that we get a Super Stash Tab sale every 3 weeks there will never ever be any reason (other than insanity) to be buying more stash space at any other time so the sale prices are the new normal prices for stash tabs.

I'm tempted by a few of these - particularly the Malachai one - but I have so many portals it's quickly becoming difficult to justify purchasing more of them. Especially when you factor in the inevitability of portal MTX being in future supporter packs & challenge league rewards.
The game really needs a wildcard option. I'd prefer the option to mark portal MTX as favourites and to use a random favourite each time, but at this point I'm thinking even a random portal MTX option would be a massive improvement. Otherwise buying them just feels like a waste imo. :/ |

You must be kidding. Like a pair of socks for each day of the month, the more the merrier, bring'em on GGG!

Since these sale prices are worse than the sale back on April 7th (except Black Hole) it is easy to not buy. We got a new Malachai blood red portal effect on May 1st... YAAWWWNNNN!
