ISO "Great" new VIP benefits

[Eantarus]

there probably are maybe the same 5 people in every VIP need help thread saying that it's fine but the Devs have already ackowledged that it does need help I really don't see them picking out the feeback of this minority players then deciding everything is fine

When those same five people complained about horses in taverns the devs nerfed in a matter of days. Do with that information what you will.

Take a look at literally any one of the threads recently complaining about the loss of daily gold roles. They are FULL of people saying "no, vip was fine, we didn't need the daily gold roles and we don't need anything else".

I have. Probably all of them, in fact. And the ones on social media. What I'm seeing is a significant number of people quite unhappy over daily gold rolls being discontinued. I guess we need a raw post count or the like.

I wouldn’t call no horses in taverns a nerf

I don’t know it is the same 5

Point being that a very small, very vocal minority cried about it VERY HARD and it got nerfed almost instantly(I believe it took them about 6 days).

And yes its those same 5 or 6 people. The cry, SSG acts. Or doesn't act, in this case.

I don’t think it’s the same why would SSG listen to the same 5 people in one instance saying change it then in the opposite saying it’s

I think that’s just biased view

SSG in this case because that’s been the plan this whole time they haven’t figured out yet what they are doing about VIP

Oh it is abundantly clear they've figured out what to do about VIP: nothing.

If you would like to see them add something to VIP to make it worthwhile I would suggest that you end your VIP subscription. Mine ended about a month ago and I will not renew until they do something substantial with VIP membership. Please end your VIP if you want to see them do anything.

Believe me, they would like to do less and still take your monthly money.

That's the plan for me, but my subscription doesn't end until November. SSG doesn't get to chase me away and take my money. They can do one or the other, but not both.

Now if they want to work me a refund for unused time, I'll cancel my VIP as quick as you please.

I would like something Iike a free (btc) lesser heart with each reincarnation for VIPs. If worried about hoarding them maybe a character can have only one at any given time, must use 1 to receive 1 the next life.

As this game has continued on it has added complexity. It is very easy for new players and even vets to make a mistake that breaks a build. Lessen the pain a little for VIPs with a free heart.

Also, being able to TR into veteran status as someone suggested is not a bad idea. Could maybe make that a benefit for 3 month subscriptions.

I already ended mine. Put in a whole thread about it.

If that’s what you want then that’s ok

I’ll still be waiting to see what they do about it

[Wizard1406]

I think one of the most important additions to VIP would be ending inventory nightmare.

Although storage should of course be improved DRAMATICALLY for everyone, VIPs should have the biggest storage, without paying tons of DP extra.

Isn't VIP about removing barriers? Lack of storage is a big barrier.

First step without any extra storage coding required could be :

VIPs get all shared storage for free, if you unsub excess items are inaccessible unless you resub or buy all the slots. VIP can make a "banking char", unable to quest or get xp but has house K and coinlord slots automatically unlocked.

It is NOT what I want.

But by ending gold roles and not adding new benefits(or even stating that they intend to) SSG has made it abundantly clear that they won't do anything about it.

[adamkatt]

Instant sell on vip benefits?!?! where?!?!

If that's your interpretation

[ShotCaller]

Still looking.

[QUOTE=ShotCaller;6561981] "the game is dying" or that SSG is itself crafting DDO's exit strategy."
I believe this to be 100% true. The decreasing window between "events" for store sales of shards and points is indicative of a company looking for liquidity anyway it can and eroding the confidence that the game isn't PTW (in some respects) that didn't exist as much before.
The brand is a money maker and they're going to monetize this one way or another. SSG is failing.
