DDO Black Friday Sales and Bonus

[GoldyGopher]

I'll just say these are not very exciting and as a VIP I am whee-bit (okay more than that) annoyed.

Expansion Trove is not on sale?
Just Tenser's on sale.

No VIP XP bonus?

Only Double Points without a bonus?

It certainly seems like they don’t want our money very badly lol. They could have gotten several hundred out of me for ottos boxes but now I won’t spend a dime by the looks of it. Good for me I guess but frustrating and discouraging.

[glassesjr]

They obviously want their own game to fail cause their actions make it hard to argue against that. I don't get their marketing at all.

I don't understand why they don't make everything on sale minus the very new stuff. Why can't I buy an older Iconic I have been waiting for to go on sale forever, but never does?

Super weak BF sales.

Saltmarsh for less discount than last year seems odd. I mean i know you cant expect them to improve the discounts every time but Saltmarsh especially seems like a poor deal.

Yeah nothing of much interest for me. Was hoping my new player friend would be able to pick up MoTU and Shadowfell for cheap (the 99 DDO point deal) but guess not; we're at low epics and not having them is painful. If saltmarsh or feywild were 85% I would definitely get the ultimate editions but until then I'll stick with my basic version of them.

That’s exactly what you should expect. Things should get cheaper over time. 10 year old things should be included in new things.

[Halciet]

Strange timing for (+20 / +5 Hearts) to go into the store; I would say this was explicitly predicted somewhere but they are not discounted. *cough*

[GoldyGopher]

It seems that Otto's boxes were added to the limited time offers.

[Cordovan]

It seems that Otto's boxes were added to the limited time offers.

There was some confusion over these items as we were deploying things today, but yes, Otto's boxes are available through November 28th.

Sorry to bother you Cordo, but seems that there is no other to talk to (and honestly i feel sorry)

I dont mean to be rude but, was there also confusion over the 25% on Saltmarsh and no discount on trove expansion too?

Another questsion, who is in charge of the marketing? those choices (considering black friday is once a year) are pretty weak.


I know you read all posts, and because of that, we all thank you for the effort, but, could you please give us an official answer?

Thank you kindly.

Have a nice day!

[Sir_Noob]

There is nothing enticing me to buy right now.
This is the first Black Friday I can remember not buying anything.
Sigh...

Otto’s Boxes have been added!

[Phoenicis]

I am a bit disappointed as well.

The deepest discount is on the same pack as last Black Friday.

I was hoping to pick up one of the other ultimate bundle expansions but I guess I pass on it for now...

[Arkat]

What, no Wishes of Inheritance?? :D

[Twilight23]

Agreed. I bought a lot last year but there really isn't anything this year.

No discount on Isle of Dread seems strange. Given that IoD is about to become available for DDO points, I assumed they would have it discounted. If they'd done even a 25% discount, I would have picked up the Ultimate bundle.

On a quick skim, I don't even see anything in the in-game shop that I want.

Minimal (worse than previous) on Saltmarsh and no discount on expansion trove seem very weird (but I don't need those).

It is absolutely RIDICULOUS that MOTU/SF/RL and probably even Sharn are not PERMANENTLY 99tp at this point.

It's like they looked at games that are raking in money and said, "You know what, we should do the exact opposite of that!"

[Kielbasa]

Saw there were sales looked at them did not see Feywild for a steep enough discount to entice me into upgrading my version. Was ready to upgrade that and grab Jurassic Park but maybe I'll wait till Christmas sales. If anyone here doesn't have the Ultimate Sharn Bundle grab that its well worth it at that price. Cheers and happy holidays everyone.

For the people hangry about motu, and shadowfell maybe Tolero will be feeling generous and gift it to people this coming anniversary.

Just a thought standing stone games could probably bundle the cosmetics, tome, bottle of mist from Ravenloft and still get people to buy that in the market or ingame store kind of like the cosmetic packages for wpm and keep on the borderlands. But if you do that please implement the npc for the cosmetics like in Saltmarsh.

[KoobTheProud]

It's strange timing for me because of the 1.5s CD. Normally I'd buy some points and probably a few boxes with them however I'm in a no spend paradigm until the 1.5s CD thing is reversed.

I guess that means next points sale in 3 months or whatever. It's very strange to me not to be spending on DDO at the holidays but a lot of strangeness has happened recently.

[marinersfan]

Agree with others. Nothing interesting this year, at least for me.

For those without, Sharn and feywild are both worth it at those prices IMO. Less sure saltmarsh is worth it at 25% off

It might be because I have had a couple adult beverages and my head is a bit foggy, but what is 1.5s CD?

[yfernbottom]

If they wanted me to spend any money at all on this they could have done one of two things:

1. Offer Saltmarsh at a 60% or more discount so I can get the expensive version.
2. Offer the expensive version of RL that I missed for $10 or so. I would really like to have that Scarecrow.

This will be good for new players that don't have Sharn or Feywild, but that has to be a tiny audience. The only version of Saltmarsh that is currently a good value is buying the base version for DDO points. 75$ is still way too much for the high end version.

[Marshal_Lannes]

The Sharn Ultimate Bundle at $19 is a tremendous value. Even if you bought Sharn for points or purchased the basic edition the items alone in there are worth a lot more than the $19. Consider, the Universal AP Tome is on sale in the store now for around 2200 points but in Sharn Ultimate you get one of these tomes on every character you have now and will ever make in the future. You also get a Dimensional Augment bag and Inquisitive tree unlocked (useful for Hardcore if you haven't purchased it in the past). Even if you don't like the (many) cosmetics included you also get the Sharn teleport, two hirelings, 140 Astral shards plus various potions. And a character slot. Really an amazing value for the price.

1.5 second cooldown

[Nimdeadlee]

The Sharn Ultimate Bundle at $19 is a tremendous value.

I bought it last year when they had exactly the same deal, that's why I'm ignoring it this year. If they offer it again next year too, I will also ignore it then.

The deals this year are very underwhelming for me, I have loads of points and cash ready to spend - but I'm walking away empty-handed.

As A VIP since 2006 I love and only play this game . This is a joke for Black Friday . Big disappointment . Shame .

Sigh...

ditto

[patriotray29]

Whats for VIP? Nothing of value . Wow ! How do you show your face after this lack of appreciation to VIP players . Shocked but not surprised .

[Dark_Helmet]

At least it is better than getting a lifetime ban without actually exploiting.

I don't have to worry about spending any money again.

Stunning post .......i felt the same way but gave in for a smaller bundle than i normally would.

As a VIP with all the expansions I typically don't expect much on Black Friday because it is from the market, just not much there for me. December Deals is what I look for so Black Friday is just a matter of buying points or not. We haven't had triple bonus points for a few years now.

[Inanout]

We haven't had triple bonus points for a few years now.

That was just before the sale of Daybreak. If they ever offer a quadruple sale then maybe they will pull the plug shortly after.

mine bugged out so i didnt get shards or 5 glamored that box aint in my bags nor the augment bag so i wrote a ticket

[DRoark]

Sale or not, all money for DDO is cut off until they fix the Cooldown and other glaring issues. They're out of goodwill.

[LightBear]

I'm seriously considering to buy the Ultimate Fan Bundle for Feywild.
I have bought the Standard edition when it was released.
Seeing that I bought both of the Ultimate Editions of Saltmarch and Isle of Dread, the price seems about right now.
At least it will save me some teleport headaches.

[Malveaux]

Anyone know if the sharn supplies will give the difference of all of them if I upgraded from collectors? Other than the uni tome. There isn't much I want or don't have.
