Discussion: The Special Black Friday Sale has been extended!
They need to add a Power to the Paragon Market.
"The Temp Killer Power" - This power Suppresses the chance for Temp Power Recipies to Drop.
Also I notice the cost of the Windfall and EXP boosters end in a 3. No other items on the market end in a 3... or rather any number that isn't 0.
With that being said, to break even you'd have to buy 10 of these to get back your Paragon Points ending in a 0. If it was a 2 it would be 5 buys, 5 would be 2 buys, 6 would be 5, 7 would also be 10. So clever marketing ploy? |
I'm trying to figure out what marketing ploy could be devised to exploit the paranoid next.

Oh, NCSoft store, you continue to crack me up:
Of course, you need to know what recaptcha actually does to fully appreciate this, but I can imagine that this is the sort of thing that would cause many a shopper to scratch their heads.
(Also, I accidentally typed "psi(r)" rather than "phi(r)" so someone's calculus textbook is now totally messed up.)

So has the Black Friday sale been extended in lieu new items/sales for tomorrow?

If the purchase was the right to combine in game enhancements into special (team/dual) enhancments ... then I would do it ... But not enhancements I can EASILY buy at AE building after one mission. or just earn in mission
I spent a hundred dollors to get 9600 PPs, which put me over 12,000 total.
I then bought 5 sets of the xp boosters, because I have a bunch of toons that are stuck in my personal "the valley of death" that is lv 38-47. Maybe this will help them get moving on.
I then looked at the Kinetic combats SBE, put 4 each of the best 4 in my shopping cart, and could not bring myself to buy them. I'm looking at a little over 1200 points (or more than 15 dollars) to buy these. I have lots of melee toons, but they slot what drops, or I can buy cheap at the auction house as I level. In order to use these, I would have to either respec existing toons, which is a huge bother, or remember to build my new toons so they can use them, and since it does not become slottable till lv 20, run around with what I can find cheap to level with till 20. All in all, to expensive (even at the sale price) for possible future use, to much trouble for existing toons. If these were available all the time, I might find myself buying them as I leveled, but right now they are just too much like work in my game.
I also looked at the Basilisks Gaze SBE. I can slot those at lv 10, which means I can use them on the bevy on new dominators and time controllers I've recently made who are in the 10-20 range, but I'm looking at least 5 dollars each, and I'm not sure that I like them that much.
I then went to the Luck of the Gamblers, and here I bought 20 of the +global reacharge IOs at 113 each. I thought about buying whole sets, but again 5 dollars times 1-5 for each character. It just did not seem worth it.
Instead I spent the points on 10 more recipe slots and 5 more auction house slots.
So what I've found out about myself is I'm cheap, who know.
I would like to have the option to buy the IOs from the market, but I'm very price sensitive on what I am willing to spend cold. If I were in the middle of playing a toon, and got a new power, and could just grab the set I know I would finally want on that and stick one in the power, and slot the rest as he got more slots, so the cost was done a bit at a time, I would be willing to pay more.
But if you really want to hook me, make SBE sets that have more range, so I don't have to wait till lv 30 to start slotting them, since I'll have something already slotted in there from when I get the power. Or that I can slot at 10, but they top out at 30, so after that I'm looking at having to get unslotters or do a full respec to pull them and then I have to store them somewhere. All in all right now, for most things it is just easier for me to not give you money and not deal with them.
Because I'm also very very lazy, and that I did know.

You are in a maze of twisty little passages
Should mention that the example you used, Basilisk's Gaze, despite being 10-30, a ton of people with holds use it right up to 50 for endgame, and many slot a fifth triple/quad IO from Lockdown or something to frankenslot it. Why? Because Basilisk's Gaze gives 7.5% recharge for the fourth set bonus. :3

If I use the "refer a friend" option on my account and my friend becomes VIP using the 99 cent deal, can I get the bonus points?

You can apply the VIP deal now and wait three months after their sub expires to apply the refer a friend deal, but you'll still be required to buy at least one month of game time at the time you do the Refer a Friend.

can you extend it until like Cyan Thursday a week from now when I have more money ??
The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.

If Numina's had still been part of this sale, it would have been a total Willpower paradise, however, I'll just grab those either in-game or when they become available (if I still need them for builds by then). Funny thing is, if it's the proc that's holding things up, I really didn't need those, just two or three of the rest of the set (in batches of 3). It's not like I am burning merits on Kin Combat or LotG anytime soon. The Basilisk's set just ensured that I will IO out at least two controllers (and maybe a Dom that might need them if I have the points left after the primary run-through).
While Eradication would have been nice to have (especially last weekend when I had to conjure 8 4-part sets of them), it's not as pressing, so maybe the Christmas sale can add some of those.
