Any chance you will put the "intermittent" on sale items in the store permanently?

I'm talking about Otto's Boxes, etc.

It makes no sense to me why these items aren't available permanently. For Boxes, for example, I've TR'd at times and run through a past life on more than one occasion, rather than wait for the next sale to come round sometime-never. If they'd been available I'd have bought them, so that's cost you a good chunk of my money SSG.

Right now I'm debating whether to wait for them to come back on sale or just start running EPLs for the new Destiny, so you're currently at risk of losing even more of my readies! Don't you want my money guys? 🙄

Similarly for Tenser's - I'm happily grinding out SXP at cap, but would still buy a Tenser's, though my grinding makes that prospect less attractive every day.

Whilst I can only speak for myself, I'd be surprised if I'm alone in being cash-rich, time-poor, and preferring to buy Boxes over running EPLs, but I'm also unlikely to be the only one impatient to get those EPLs done...

So, to summarise, tick-tock, SSG! 😁👍

I'm sorry but this^ is NOT an improvement. You expect people to purchase your cosmetics virtually blind? Some cosmetics look better on different races, different genders and without a way to view the cosmetic properly on the character you are looking to dress... well... there are going to be LESS cosmetic sales. Cosmetics are all about the visual aesthetic and you are entirely removing the viewing portion prior to purchase. People prefer to make informed decisions, especially when it comes to money. You are further removing function from the DDO store in this aspect. Yes, I know it was ONLY functional in the 32bit client but now it will no longer be functional for either. That is a downgrade any way you slice it.
Not to mention there are so very few cosmetics options. They are too much limited. They should build new cosmetics too.

Yes, its pretty pathetic when something actually working as it was originally intended and useful to the players is considered a bug.

also worth mentioning "we have increased the size of our icons to give you a better visual representation of the offers before purchase" while showing an embarassing screen with 6 cosmetics but 4 of them....well, increase the icon to godzilla size, whatever, still no idea how it looks....

They seem tone deaf to how ridiculous and unreasonable this lack of function is for the consumer. *smh*

Just curious. Why would you need to use that website now? I've never used that site and able to do everything I need from ingame store already?

The cosmetic preview seems to be broken already in both 32 and 64 bit clients.
It doesn't preview, It alt tabs to a blank window like a different process in the desktop.

Finally a use for my Diners Club Card!
I remember at my first job after college (small software company that made point of sale / register software), we had an option for that as a payment method. SOME of our customers would ask - DO PEOPLE STILL USE THIS?!!

I don't doubt it, they probably broke it ahead of time when U60 went live, not the store update itself. But it was definitely still working in 32bit during the most recent Summer Sales event, because during the sales week when cosmetics were 75% off I went down the list trying absolutely everything on again and picked out 3 more that I had previously not purchased.

Did you talk to the Fatespinner to go inside the place in order to activate the tree? If not, it won't work.
