Add 30% Mount Potion back to the itemshop

Quoted

I asked colleagues about this, but didn't get any specific answer. I guess (this is how it goes with other games) there is no specific reason about it. We simply have enough other items to offer.
What you can do is to open a thead here and ask. Stuff from Suggestions (they are not totally unrealistic I forward to responsible people. In this case it would be Game Designer incharged for Shop).
I'll let you know if I get an answer.
But based on my experience ... I will get same answer as I gave to you: Because we have other items to offer.


@cm Mika

So basically, this hasn't been sold by itself for over a year now. This is something we have asked for that whole year now. ITS SOMETHING WE WANT A sale doesn't have to be added around it, but it at least should be in sales more often.

I would say to have the 7 day version for 14 dias (300 phirius tokens) and the 30 day for 49 dias. There isn't really a reason to not put something back in the itemshop that people will pay money for.

You did not get enough pots around new year?

What is IS ration for DIAS vs. PT? 14 dias or 300 PT would make 30 day one over 1K PT, and we were getting them for 700 iirc.

So... 8 months later and still no sale... that makes it okay to not put on sale anymore?

Also, back then, if you used too many buffs, the potion would be PUSHED OFF. So you would lose you mount potion. You could contact support, but they aren't able to recreate the scenario so they only gave one out per account. That's it.

ps; i dont recall seeing it by itself. I had to buy it bundled with a mount. That was around x-mas.

Not by itself.. and that's still eight whole months. Not to mention how many people lost the ones they bought then because Runewaker are a bunch of idiot programmers who allowed them to get pushed off.

It was actually between Christmas and New Year - time where lucky ones did not know what to do with all those mounts....

Don't bother the tread died long ago when people found out that it was being ignored. Nothing ever came from it.

oh come ON now! Like Moonlight has written in several threads already, give them time. Besides, it has only been 4 months (much much less that a year) since that Gameforge-started suggestion-request thread was started, and they have repeatedly told us that they have their events and sales planned out at least a year ahead of time. Impatient customers. jeez

hmm, am i done channeling pinkhat, yet?

The purpose of a sale and the item shop is to meet customer's immediate needs. Not what they may need a year or more from now but what they need today. For anyone to say that they should plan a sale a year in advance in a computer game is just plain absurd. what is needed now will in all certainty not be needed a year from now. But it fully explains the sales on items that went out of use months ago. Almost every sale in the past few months has been met with a chorus of groans in the forums as being sad and silly. If the planning teams are setting up sales a year in advance by what is needed now, this game is doomed. A sale in a computer game should be set by what is needed now and be planned no more than a week in advance at the worst 2 weeks or a month.
If you check what is done in the other MMORPGs you will find an almost immediate response to the player base needs in their sales. You want to sell something to a customer when they need it, not tell them wait a year while you plan a sale. You want their money today when they want to buy not lose it by waiting a year, when it will no longer be needed.

I doubt this. Wasn't the gems used for the new title system on sale not long ago? The new title system definately has not been around for 1 year, so the only way that sale could have been planned 1 year ago is if Gameforge's IS team knew what Runewaker would release 1 year in advance, which I find unlikely.

I am only repeating what GF have repeatedly told us here in the forums, since GF has taken over. Careful, you might get away will calling Gameforge employees lliars, but most of us can not.

And the "impatient customers" comment was total sarcasm. But that is how we are treated.

I don't quite understand the theory behind a "sale" in a premium item shop. Wouldn't the publisher (and the character) benefit more if the items they needed/wanted were just permanently offered? I don't quite understand why we're trying to throw our money out for things that we desire and need to play this game effectively but can't because the item shop doesn't offer what we need, but only in burst sales once a year.

I was gone from this game for around a year because of the FEU takeover. I just came back in mid July. I was level 67 when I left. Levelling my character up to 80 means I have to regear. I had 2 ABL's and managed to stat up a new sword and shield and sell or donate my old with the ABL's I have. I'm neglecting the rest of my gear right now because I don't have ABL's to get rid of the old stuff. It's just sitting on my character fresh from the AH as I see stuff I want.

Mount speed pots are someting that is desperately needed, and an item that would do good in the Phirus Token shop. Or make it dias only too. As I said above, I don't quite understand why we're requesting these items be added to the diamond shop so we can BUY THEM WITH MONEY, trivial items that actually increase your bottom line, and it's not being done. We're trying to throw our money at you and you're refusing. It's like me going into the hardware store and asking them why don't they carry screwdrivers and then offering them steady profits if they do, and the hardware store refuses. I just don't understand.

Well the item was indeed on sale at new year's, the only problem with it, they disappeared from our buff bars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i lost about 20 of them. Please don't tell me to write a ticket, because i did, answer = We cannot reproduce the error you have mentionned, so ya. That was just crap answer for someone paying with his money to get in game stuff that they know will disappear and not replace.

Well the Mount Pots amongst many others were fixed with patch 6.0.1 so that they no longer should be overwritten when hitting the buff cap limit. Clearly at some point this was a known/reproducible error hence the fix.

+1 to Mount Speed pots making a comeback...
