So since some of you here know everything about whats going on with ddo days before everyone else...
Can you tell me what the sales will be like.

Or... Just make speculations on the types of dog shit deals they will throw together last min.

Im guessing the catcombs will be on there for the low again.. too bad i cant buy it 4 years in a row.. damn..

Wheres dat cheap half orc pack?

What about motu and stormhorns again? That will be fucking awesome to buy again this year too...

But seriously.. they need to add something else for those people who nay have already bought the same 6 things they keep putting on sale year after year..

Those sales are good and all.. and should still be there for new players.. but can they add something to this list? Well something worth buying at least... im guessing thatll be a no.. what do yall think?

Let's see. A good marketing department would look at where the focus of the game has been, and where it's likely to go.

- TR grind for racial lives
--- Needs:  All races
                 XP boosts

- Latest update we are calling an expansion to squeeze some cash out of the players
--- Needs: Loot boosts
                An incentive for the hold outs to buy it

So one could make a case for putting the races, (Warforged, Assmear, Gnome, Half-elf, ect) up on the block for a discount price.  Might even try to sell some "racial starter pack" with all the p2p races in a cash only bundle.

One could also bet on loot gems being worth a sale.  Same for xp pots and slayer boosts.

Instead I'm sure they will try to sell the same stuff that nobody needs.  Well, I shouldn't say "nobody".  3 lives ago I did have 1 person in party who had to drop when we started on Catacombs because they didn't have the pack.  I guess SSG could focus their entire Black Friday / Cyber Monday sales efforts on that one player and nobody else.

Yes.

Exactly.  This is SSG.  We'll probably see a decent discount for the new players on a handful of races/classes/packs the rest of us bought years ago and a slight discount on over-priced crap like shared storage that only someone with more money than sense would actually bother picking up (at anything other than 75% off).

There's no info yet.  Doubt we'll know Black Friday sales before Jerry's livestream next Wednesday.

I reckon they'll go for 30% off the ravenloft pack just to piss off players that bought the pack at $130 cause that's what they're good at!

That does seem like exactly the sort of thing they would do.

They can call themselves SSG.......but inside beats the heart of Turdbine.

Triple bonus points or they can GTFO.

Sarcasm aside, if they had any brains at all, they'd throw up a triple bonus points sale for black Friday.

All the whales have already bought the high end Ravenloft pack.  Now they should go after the holdouts who won't drop $130 one pack just to get some cosmetic fluff.  A triple bonus points sale would be hard to pass up for the holdouts planning on using TP and favor to get all the Ravenloft stuff come March or whatever it is.

And if they wanted to be really diabolical about it, they could throw the Otto's boxes back in the store the following week and drain those point balances before March gets here.  =P

3Q17 was the Summer Sails event with 75% off items. 
4Q17 is Ravenloft, and Cordovan has already commented they're happy with the sales numbers so far.
1Q18 is Ravenloft via points.
2Q18 is where you might see triple bonus points. 

I expect Black Friday to be a DDO non-event.  There will be a token bundle we'll roll our eyes at and wonder what the hell are they thinking.  Then we'll turn around and spend our money at Amazon or other established retail outlet.

Wow.  It really doesn't take much to make them happy, does it?

And you know?
  

Dear players,

The D&D rules you were familiar with were too simple to understand, so we're continuing our move away from them to needlessly confusing subsystems that will make your play experience less fun and invalidate old builds and loot. We hope you have fun working out what the fuck MRR, PRR, MP, SP, RP, CL, MCL and all the other bullshit we made up whilst drunk means.

Love,

People who don't know how to fix their own mistakes cleanly

Yea, all the ones NOT wearing the new cosmetics. 

I'd guess only about 30% of the active population have the $130 pack based on the trench coats and fedoras.  About 10% were sporting that 2nd tier cosmetic for like a week after it went on sale, then they realized how lame it looked. Haven't seen anybody wearing the pimp coat with fuzzy collar since then.

Well, they may have bought the expansion base pack and that wouldn't show in cosmetics.  But, if 30% of the population bought the highest tier pack then:  A) I'm sure they are pleased with the revenue.  and B) They should have offered an even higher tier with more stuff in it.

I highly doubt 30% bought the highest tier pack.

But if 30% of you delusional  fanbois went down on the devs, they would at least be smiling while they churned out lackluster content.

Turdbin, keep changing the DDO rules, because McDonalds sold over 200 billion hamburgers by changing the recipe for their Special Sauce every couple of months to keep interest up.

Not really.  Just guilds and channels.  But most seem to have bought the pack.

I'd pay $500 if they implemented cloaks and created some really cool Cloak, Helm, Armor (without asymmetric shoulder pauldrons) and weapon effects like what PoE has.  Thrown in with some points and QoL stuff.
