Tell the Store Team

[Ninety]

How it works:
From time to time we'll be asking you questions, and here in our thread, you tell us: What comes to mind; what you think; how you feel; etc, as it relates to the question(s) at hand.


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!

1. Base Greensteel ingredients, for us that can't afford Funk in the AH. (one character has 2 completed put together stones, but only 1 funk? grrr)

2. I know epics are supposed to be hard and take time to get eveything you need, however in the 300+ hours of game play that I have probably logged since I have came back to the game recently, I have only been able to put 1 epic item together. Don't put the shards,seals,scrolls in there (or do, that would be cool as well,) but maybe turn the +1 loot bonus into +X% chance for items to drop.

3. perminate, visable only to guild members, airship beacons. Odd that I can teleport to meridia or the desert, but I have to run to the 12/Market to get back to the ship unless I spend a few TP each time. I would think if the airship is going to Meridia or the desert I could have them stop by a predetermined spot to check to see if there is anyone to pick up. I would happily pay say 500 TP for this ability.


4. Epic Dungeon Tokens, because running Epic Last Stand 90 times for the 30 tokens needed to fill a slot is a bit time consuming.


5. Spell ingredient container that holds more than 1000 per stack or same item multiple times. Because my rangers want to stock up on 10k ingredients for FoM and never have to worry about running out.

A lot of people are suggesting things to be added to the store that aren't in the game, where the question is "What items/features currently in the game would you like to see added to the Store?"

Anyway,
1. Ability to open quests on hard
2. Ability to open quests on elite
3. Character renames
4. Guild renames

Ahhh thanks! wow I feel stupid for missing that, edited my list on page 7 to include existing items only

[Ebuddy]

There isn't a single thing currently in game that I would like to see in the Store. Quite to the contrary, I want you to develop new content, not find ways to re-monetize already developed assets.

This...

[Forgeborn]

1 - Race changes
2 - Name change (first and last name)
3 - Gender change

You can't buy funk, you are either born with the funk, or you are funked.

Id like to see the roleplaying put back into DDO.

1. Events!
Sell something to us old D&D players. Let us hire a gm for a couple of hours to create and run custom dungeons for us. I would suggest this is payed for via astral diamonds so guildies can all put in together.

This would be a real luxury item and as it involves staff i would expect it to be expensive - but i could see it as a good money maker with potential for regular purchaces - say once a week for a dedicated group.

For example if 6 people each payed $3 worth of astral diamonds once a week on this service it would be the same cost as going to a roleplaying club, with the advantage that we could do this with online friends, and for turbine i think $18 should cover the staff cost for say 1 or 2 hours with room for decent profit.

Some kind of calendar booking system would be needed for organisation purposes.


2. Dungeon construction kit. (let us run our own events)
Let players make dungeons - keep the loot random and no named stuff. Allow one player to act as GM for that dungeon and invite other people to run it, the GM would need tools for spawning of monsters, traps and skill hooks(eg listen: you hear 2 kobolds bickering in the next room) and map creation - posibly just map selection from the existing maps and the ability to talk to the party via both voice chat and GM text.


Both of these suggestions will have a beneficial effect on the creation of future adventure packs as it will likely create a plethora of dungeons, many of wich will be of sufficient quality to make it into the game permanently.
Any players that create good enough dungeons could be rewarded with turbine points and their name put in the credits for the dungeon obviously.

3. PVP Zones
Many people have requested pvp development but just as many hate pvp and think that time spent on it would be a waste. I think pvp zones purchaseable via the store would be an excelent way of judging how much people actualy care about pvp in this game, i would suggest things like CTF maps, team deathmatch maps, fortress maps and assault maps.

4. Cosmetics
More cosmetic options are good and always a source of profit. I would like to see a 'sigil of glamour' added to the store that when combined with any item in the stone of change it absorbs its cosmetic properties and destroys the item. It can then be used as a cosmetic clicky item just like the cosmetic hats. - should work for helms, armour, shields and weapons. This sigil of glamour should also drop from chests - unbound but rare.


Regarding things like items/weapons/potions etc available in the store.
My opinion is that the store should be there to let players purchase adventure packs, account options and cosmetic stuff. There is already too much 'buy your way to victory; in the store and any more is in serious risk of disruption to what balance remains, there are many items in the store i would like to see as drops in game.

1) +50% XP pots. For TR2+. I know these aren't strictly in game but you can get up to it at times with a 25% bonus, a 20% pot, and a 5% voice bonus. If these seem unbalanced for first lives, perhaps limit them to TRed chars.
2) - 5) - can't think of anything else that wouldn't be inappropriate, like cloning other class features.

[GentlemanAndAScholar]

* Greensteel Deconstruction Shards: Shard + item in altar of devastation = all ingredients used return to you BtA. Suggested price ~ 500-750 TPs.
* Guild Boat teleport rods (50 charges teleport directly to your guild boat). Suggested price ~ 250-500 TPs.
* Elixir of Superior Rage Quit (upon consuming it, it will boot you from the game and remove ANY trace of your account ever existed -- forever. Which may or may not include public burning of the hard drive that had your information stored). Suggested price: every single available TP in the account.

[noinfo]

A token to exchange 1 +3 or +4 tome for another of the same type
A token to change BTC tomes to BTA

[Bwahahaha]

Hi, what I would purchase is skin tints.

I find that the colors available at the start to be too limited.

Thanks Bwahahaha...

[justhavinfun]

I would like to see the collectable and gem bags bound to account instead of to the character since it is TP generated by the account that allows you to buy them.

Would also like to see some form of spell components bag instead of having to use 9+ inventory slots for my components.

I would not like to see crafting components put up for sell in the store. Nobody should be allowed to craft items without actually earning them. The last thing needed in the game is more easy buttons.

The items in game that are not in the store I would like to see are Large Bags not bound to character.

P.S. All items in the store should be BTA not BTC.

[maddness018]

1. Scroll Cases
2. Component Bags
3. /showcloak on
4. trade lfm in social panel
5. Guild ship bind point

[Lorien_the_First_One]

Anyone think its funny that at least half of the suggestions ignored the question and answered "what would you like us to add to the game" instead of "what is currently in game you would like added to the store?"

Some of these things are borderline though, GS deconstruction gives back larges etc, which are already in game, so its really TP + Item = store item.

The real difference is that with these is that they do not directly put the final item in the store but an iterim item and I would imagine require coding.

OK, technically it doesn’t exist in game but the technology is there.

1. Large Ingredient trader - I’d *really* like to trade my useless ingredients for Large Devil Scales or Large Sulphorus Stones. 3:1 Cross trade; 10:1 upgrade. BtC results would be fine.
2. Epic Shard/Seal trader - Yes, I want some way to trade in all my useless BtA pulls for something that doesn’t suck. 3:1 cross trade is fine. BtC results would be fine.
3. 20th end reward “full list” loot gem - Yes, a loot gem for the end reward givers that forces a full loot list on a 20th completion.
4. Tower of Despair ring to Trophy trader - More trading of useless **** for something that I can actually use.

[Vellrad]

I must say that I like loot/XP/renown boosts, and use them quite a lot. I would like to see more of them- 6 hours versions of same renown boosts as are now in game, and +2 3/6 hours loot gems.

[Battlehawke]

I would love to see you add a few of our ideas to the DDO store and am quite excited about this post. Here are some that interest me:

#1. Deconstruction of Shroud Items (pay to get your item broken down and your items Mats back).
#2 Perhaps the ability to change Greensteel Item Slots/Weapon Types (change cloak to Neclace, etc., or Bastard Sword to Greatsword) so that if you can't deconstruct it, you can at least still use it, if you get new loot that you love or TR a toon to something in which you no longer need/want that item.
#3. a Ship Teleport Recall Clickie (purchasable)
#4 a "guild crest" that is unique to your guild (perhaps even tailored by someone in the guild) that appears on your Shield or armor and the flag of the ship...

[Entelech]

Race/Gender change reincarnations. Or add that capability to Greater Reincarnation.

I'd also like to see a token that lets you reroll a quest end reward. Nothing is more annoying than farming your 20th raid completion and not getting the one item you're after in the choices. Buy a token, cast it on the questgiver like a guest pass, and check out your new list of choices.
