Why is the store so small? I want to buy all the building set expansions but can’t.
Also, why are there not back to back battle-passes year round? Surely the income and player login outweighs the development time for some cosmetics and marketing material.
They tried it and it didn’t. As best as can be identified it seems to have worked out as a losing proposition, since they opted to cancel the battlepass system rather than continue it. The previous DLC model was far preferable for most players anyway.
As for the Bazaar - many players have asked for greater access to the ‘stock’ and to be able to buy the things they want, rather than relying on this FOMO version, which probably loses them some sales. We don’t know why they insist on sticking to it.
My opinion the battle pass content was too costly in man hours so lost money.
I’d never seen season pass content in games that were DLC quality, most were just reskins, but not Conan’s. The content they were giving away was every bit as good as the bazaar content.
But I doubt they change the bazaar though, they use that FOMO to keep people checking the bazaar. Sort of like stores that rearrange things regular. While looking for what you need you end up buying stuff you saw and wanted.
We keep asking and they keep dodging on making the store actually worthwhile.
Instead they make some tweaks here and there but nothing significant.
At least you can see your characters now in the costumes and using the emotes before you buy them.
I’ve seen some stuff with a itemlookup mod, the bazaar didn’t gave any new items since the new year, but if you seek “LOC_” you find that they prepared some “Treehouse” pictish building pieces, a pirate tavern bar but still not showed yet, it’s boring to wait and wait and wait, over and over. Really frustrating they don’t even give a little update to it.
The Bazaar should have a full catalogue and rotating specials.
The initial statement that it rotated because the inventory was small and would look sad was valid, years ago
As for Battle Pass, they killed that.
Something something focus on other content.
Right now, they are clucked if the do and clicked if they don’t.
New (premium) cosmetics will trigger hissing and rage about unfixed bugs and wasted dev time/greed
Lack of new offerings gets the why bother with anything, don’t they want money response
But the simple fact is, Dune is in crunch time.
Don’t expect much for awhile.
