Tell the Store Team

[Emili]

Pre-Cove, My opinion was nothing should be added to the store.

Now that certain people have farmed that event, purchased all ingredients and created a sick amount of inflation, my opinion is that all crafting ingredients that are tradeable/sellable should be added to the store. Plat is now meaningless and if anybody who did not abuse the event wants to craft anything, they will lose interest and leave the game long before they either a) can afford to purchase at these ridiculous prices or b) farm enough ingredients themselves.

I really don't know if Turbine did this on purpose to take more RL money from people, but it sure looks suspicious. A pre-conceived plan to put crafting ingred in the store then an event to ruin the economy and make Plat worthless???

I wonder....

I have never bought an ingredient from the Ah besides a couple twigs and couple scrolls in what three+ years?

Still I have over 30 GS items and most dual shard... ToD rings, epic items so go figure?

Am sorry I craft mine from running things, I pay with time and playing the game... PP was never worth anything really and commodities are there for the taking, trading or just asking... over the years I'd wager I given away enough smalls and meds to craft two tiers shroud items for well over a hundred people...

1) sex change

2) last name change

Greensteel deconstruction.

I am only leaving one suggestion for emphasis.

My #1 as well. Hopefully done correctly and not too expensive in terms of TP.

From a coding perspective it seems like not that hard of a fix. This is theoretical as I have never seen the code but If you know X+Y+Z = item then you should be able to Destroy Item and add X+Y+Z back into the inventory.

[steelblueskies]

yeah seriously true on all the ingame>store is a flawed concept without breaking parts of the game. alternatives.
1. raid completions advancement item/service. +1 or +3 to a single raids completion counter. must wait one week before using another.

for those times you just loathe the idea of another half month or more of waiting to tr just to cap a raid on a toon.

2. shroud cleansing essence doubler. requires one essense, creates two diluted essenses( ie a sub item that works the same, but cannot be used with this paid item. this prevents a move by the population to simply farming to non completion and buying essences and winding up with people who don't know what shroud part 4 is. yes i know 20ths can contain tomes as well)

3. i support either and item to account bind btc items, or deconstruct greensteel.

4. how about a loot bonus item that actually matters worth a ****? you know something which modifies your loot table for a raid chest to increase odds of raid loot by 5/10/15/something %.

How about something like this:
NEW TO THE DDO STORE
Trinket of Transfer- Grants you the ability to transfer 1 Bound To Character item to any of your other characters on the same server.

Have you spent 2 years trying to get a Torq for your wizard but pulled one on your Barb the 1st time you ran Demon Queen??? Does your ranger have a ToD ring for a cleric and your cleric has a ToD ring for a sorc and your poor fighter has not managed to get a ring at all???

With the Trinket of Transfer you can easily move a BtC item between characters. This one time use trinket will allow you to put any BtC item in your shared bank account ( may need to be purchased separately ) and transfer ownership to the next character who removes it from the shared account.Also available from the DDO Store ToTx5 and ToTx10.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------How How much would you pay for this ability???
How many Epic Tokens would you be willing to farm to do something like this????
Wouldn't this make a great end reward for a 20th run on some raid???

I can't see this happening at all.. but maybe something to boost rare drop rates for specific quest and items.

[Ungood]

While, I must admit, some of the things suggested, while they do not exist yet, are wanted, they, well, do not exist yet, and thus I would wager do not fall into the realm of the question asked.

submitted.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question!
What items/features currently in the game would you like to see added to the Store (aside from the ability for VIPs to buy quest packs)? Please list no more than 5!

This has been brought up in a few other topics, I think it had a bit of a hot button spurt of the moment bloom of threads. And, there seems to be some questions regarding what should and should not be in the store.

-----

The first thing that comes to mind is a hot button issue and topic of much question, which involves the ability by players to purchase specific loot:

In Question: Named Drops from Quests.

IE: Having it listed in the store, perhaps by expansion pack the named dropped loot for players to buy.

For example:
The Sands of the Menechtarun
Bloodstone
Spiked Turban
Bracers of the Hunter
Ring of Spell Storing
Tourney Armor
Bow of the Elements (Air)
Robe of Fire
Etc, Etc, and So Forth.

Gianthold
All the stuff that drops there as well.

Now, we are not talking the epic version here, just the normal drops from a box version stuff. However, by the people that wanted this, the consensus was that these items if bought from the store should be BtC. for obvious reasons. Now there was opposition to this idea, with the claim this would destroy the game and the economy, but nothing showing exactly how that would come about.

However, to be fair, while for the life of me I cannot see how BtC items can have any impact on the economy, there is no denying that players have put in the time to earn these items, that are rare, hard to find, and in some cases even difficult to get. So there putting them in the store, would be in a sense diminishing in their eyes their accomplishment tor their position of superiority for the possession of these items.

So, while this is wanted by some, it is met with firm opposition by others. I would say a slippery slope at least.

But, as you can see from the responses here, from loot increase gems, to ways to speed up shroud completions, that the grind for specific items tends to be daunting to many players, even hard core players have shown a bit of dismay from the grind sometimes.

However, the real issue with this, is I have no idea how the proposed new crafting system will affect the desire for these items, so, while it is something that has been proposed many times in the past, new changes can make for new desires and wants from the gaming community.

--- (hey look this is a break!) ----

The Second Item on the List: Collectibles. This is Simple enough. The things we collect from nodes and other places. Mainly the rare items, (You all know which ones are rare)

--- (hey look this is a break!) ----

The Third Item and this is pretty much the last thing I would like to see on the list. The rare collectibles that drop from quests, like Tome Pages, Shield Pieces, Dragonshard Essence, Tempest Runes, Etc, Etc, Etc, but that is not a huge issue for me. But it might be nice to be able to get that last page I really need.

It think it would be handy, and it would be tempting to just bypass some areas to skip to what I want if that was an option, but, if was there, or was not there, I think it would be mostly a non-issue for me. But, it would be somewhat nice to save myself a week or farming for a specific rune, or something.

These are my suggestions, I am just one player in the game.

Thank you for asking our opinion and our feelings on this issue.

1) More clothes
There's a very limited selection of armor appearance kits currently. It's nice they're exclusive and custom. But they don't need to be. Just go through the existing library of armors and robes, pick the X best looking ones, and sell those as armor appearance kits. [EDIT: Make sure Naked is on the list. ] I occasionally find a cool looking piece of armor and trash it because it's got abilities I don't need. If I could take the look of the armor and apply it to another armor with useful abilities, I'd pay points for that. Btw, the existing male kits are ugly. Sorry to be blunt.

2) Clothes you don't outgrow
I have a house full of female gamers. They love armor appearance kits. They want one for every day of the week. They want new ones as the seasons change, just because. But there's no way they're going to shell out 150-250 points per outfit if it can only be applied to a single suit of armor. Armor is easily outgrown as your character goes up levels so then you've wasted your points. You should be able to apply the kit to more than one suit of armor. Or apply it once per level. Or something even cleverer that you will think of.

3) Back Button
Currently, if I put something in my cart and then click Continue Shopping, it doesn't take me back to exactly where I was before. That puts me in a bad mood, and I don't feel like buying when I'm in a bad mood. There should be a back button to take you back to the exact screen you were just looking at.

4) Easier Navigation/Search
This morning I was shopping for armor appearance kits. I can't quickly find all the various styles available. I have to wade through all the color/style combinations. It would be better if there was an expanded navigation hierarchy so you could quickly see all the styles available (Gold Crest, Crest, Royal, etc.) without worrying about color, until you've chosen the style. Like apparel retailer web sites. EDIT: Same principle applies to navigating to anything in the store. Example, tomes. Right now I can navigate to Tomes and then I have to wade through the whole mess. Navigation should be:

COSMETICS
>ARMOR APPEARANCE KITS
>> All Armor Appearance Kits
>> All Light Armor Appearance Kits (all the 1's)
>> All Heavy Armor Appearance Kits (all the 2's)
>> Leaf Light Armor Style (Leaf 1 is a poor name, no one knows what it means)
>> Leaf Heavy Armor Style (Leaf 2 is a poor name, no one knows what it means)
>> Gold Crest Light Armor Style (you get the idea)
>> Gold Crest Heavy Armor Style
>> Royal Light Armor Style
>> Royal Heavy Armor Style
etc. Choose one of the above categories returns all the colors associated with the chosen style(s).


STATS & LEVELING
>TOMES
>> All Tomes
>> Supreme Ability Tomes
>> STR TOMES
>> INT TOMES
>> WIS TOMES
>> DEX TOMES
>> CON TOMES
>> CHA TOMES
>> +1 TOMES
>> +2 TOMES

- Choice of "bound to account" or "bound to guild" option for some items
- A "combine guild charter" allowing 2 or more smaller sized guilds to join together without losing guild favor
- work out some arrangement with Screaming Bee to allow players the ability to purchase the Screaming Bee voice changer with their Turbine points.

[Sealsniper]

I would love to see:

1.XP pots greater then 20% 25%/50%/75%
2. Ability to purchase character past lives...so those that don't have as much time as others can purchase some of the way (if wanted) to completionist on a toon. This would be great for folks who dont like to run certain classe, say rather than having to run barb TR for past life, i can buy in store for say 2500 TP. If i want 2 or 3x past life ranger I can purchase rather than grind another 9 million xp for 2500 each life.\

For those that want to earn completionist goal can still do so via the grind, but those of us who have 9 or 10 toons we like to play and havent moved to a single toon for TR grind to get a completionist can get the past lives they want or can buy all the way to completionist if you have a big enough pocket book. $$$$ money maker for DDO big time$$$$$

Where is that supreme ability tome that is on sale 3/18 and 3/19? I can't find it in the store. And if it is there why is it hidden? I've looked twice and it isn't in any logical place. I wanted to buy that and time is running out, thanks a lot.

I don 't think you are serious on the first one.

The second sounds really sweet, but that 's not in the game.

What 's a screaming bee voice changer?

1.XP pots greater then 20% 25%/50%/75%
2. Ability to purchase character past lives...

and LOL to you sir!

--- (hey look this is a break!) ----

And to you too

Adventure packs unique loot

Yeah i shortened your post, but... cool idea! It' s really a good idea coming from... me

[Ungood]

yeah I Shortened Your Post, But... Cool Idea! It' S Really A Good Idea Coming From... Me :d

Lol!

click the view all items button,
if you already used a +2 tome you will not see any supreme tomes in the ddostore

[psikick]

You mean I can't buy more than one and none for my other characters? Typically senseless.

[Gleep_Wurp]

1) shroud shards
2) all cookies and cakes
3) all named items
4) unbinding tokens for stone of change

[aerendhil]

i would like to see in DDO store :

1) a premium account upgrade that allow to open quests on normal/hard/elite (as per VIP), on all server
2) greater heart of wood

[Talon_Moonshadow]

Green Brier Twiggs, and other Vale ingrediants. Especially the ones that don't drop from explorer area chests.

Shards of Power.

Devil's Keepsake. And other boot ingrediants.
Not because I think they are needed, but because no other players will let you groupo with them, if you don't have them.

More options to change Helmet appearance. My WF has a helm that looks like a Samarai helmet that I just love. It's even blue and matches my body coloring. Yet, I would be better off with a lot of other helmets in the game. I would love a chance to make another helmet look like this one.

I would also like a premium service to move characters from one account to another one. I made my second acount back before the DDO store, and before we could purchase additional char slots. But todays game makes it more beneficial to have chars on the same account. Especially for bind to account items.

Even more storage options!
Not knowing what may someday have an epic option, I have held onto just about every named item I find. And I really hate to get rid of somehing and one day regret it.
Plus crafting expansions make me want to hold onto even more stuff.

Wand/scroll cases.
I know they are not in the game, but it seems easy to add them IMO.

Dragon Scales

Orchard Tapestries

Anything to stop grinding. I do not want to run the same quests over and over again to get enough of some rare dropping ingrediant.
Named items are different. They should be rare. Ingrediants to make something seem like something you guys could make money off of.

[Wildseed]

-More expensive store only version of TR (say double price) that does not include the extra XP requirement. And before the "easy button" posts start, we already allow the xp curve to be reduced by 20% by people willing to pay for xp potions from the store to be constantly running, this is no different.

Ooh, I like this... implement this!....
Okay what I'd like to see in the store:
1. Craftable item deconstruction(Greensteel, boots...etc) should get back what put into the item.
2. A way to reuse an armor kit, or a reusable armor kit, so I can use it as I level up my TR on whatever armor she's using at the time. I believe the current armor kits are overpriced since I can only buy 1 a month (as a VIP) and that would leave me 50 pts for the ones that look the best to me.
3. A way to change my character's appearance. Repick her facial appearance for example I accidentally put a mole on my half-elf, don't like moles, I'd like a way to redo her special characteristics
4. Bypass Flagging requirement on a Raid.
5. Cheerleading outfit. We have cheerleaders now... we need outfits. Oh wait, you said already in the game... my bad... ignore number 5 Or I'll change it to the above quote...Oh, you said already in the game.... +3 tomes.
