The stash tab sale is a mockery to the new players that bought early

[Kludd]

I personally think this should have been from day one rather then now, hear me out. Can imagine the people that are big fans that got to end game quick have already bought them cause its a necessary for end game and i assume some of the new players are feeling a bit upset.

The stashes ain't a must during the acts but once you get to the real game it becomes more of a must, and alot of us that did that sub 3 days most likely bought the tabs with the early access packs we bought.

I might be the only one that feels this way but man it felt like a "♥♥♥♥ you" from GGG to people that spent/played a lot early. Would rather have had no sale then the feeling of fomo if someone bought early.

*edit: clearly people feel that people should be more informed on the game so i guess i will step down. *hat off*

The sale isn't something to do with PoE 2 at all.

It's just a seasonal rotation sale that GGG always do that is occurring across both games.

That the next stash tab sale was coming and when has been known to players for ages. Because GGG do a good job communicating such things for those that look before buying.

You need to remember that both games share the same MTX ecosystem. When something goes on sale, it's on sale across both games, and what you buy in one game crosses over to the other.

GGG aren't about to cancel or change their existing store schedule just because PoE 2 Early Access started.

Wow...this is really "boo hoo poor me" the thread.

"Dedicated players" already had all the non-PoE2 exclusive stash tabs (like currency, essences, big premium tabs...) because they carried over from PoE1. The rest could easily be bought with the 300 included premium currency.
The sale is nice for the "non-dedicated" people though.

Yes they have the same eco system schedules i know that, Would still have been a better choice to have it one week prior on release tho and been way more user friendly for the masses and not really a make or break choice.

Anyone at the office could have said "hey poe2 is releasing on friday, lets have the stash tab on release rather then the next week cause most people will probably buy them and it will encourage people to buy them as well while the hype is there, people will probably be happy about it"
Rather then "Hey lets half the player base buy them for full price and then bait the rest of the people that didn't buy into a sale that is scheduled and point out that if they missing credits they can buy a better pack."

Already had all my stash tabs from POE 1 but generally this time of year the put a sale on.

Again, no one was baited.

GGG were clear ahead of time what the usual sale schedule was.

If people choose to not look into things and just bought blind, then that's on them.

Own your own behaviour, rather than trying to disassociate yourself from your own actions and put blame/accountability on someone else.

The buck stops at you.

It's the nature of sales that some people will have bought the thing a day before the sale started. That's life.
I myself just got me the gem stash tab two days ago. I don't read GGG news or their website, I login via Steam and play the game.
Sure feels bad knowing I could've got it cheaper now, but oh well, it is what it is. The game is great, so it's worth it either way IMHO.

Stash tab sales are always at the second weekend after a league launch. In this case the second weekend after PoE2 launched.

Still feels a bit a bit rude to the new player base, most of them won't have a clue so unless they spend time on discord / reads Xpost there is no way for them of knowing, ofc we can agree to disagree on this.

Agree, but i think it would have been more user friendly tho for the masses if it was done a bit different around release for them.

We all know that the majority of the masses won't read Xposts/discord

Mockery? As you said, stash tabs aint a must during acts, and many people with average time they can play during the day just getting to endgame. Week 2 is like best time to start stash tab sale (unless they could just start it from the beinning)
Also "big fans" already know GGG usually do same in PoE 1 or have most of stash tabs they need bought from there

I originally bought the stash tabs without a sale. I dont feel ripped off or that GGGf'd me over. I wasnt aware of the sales and i learned from that

As a new player I did my research and bought them all today.

It seems like smart business to be honest.
People know that a sale will come sometime down the line, but some can't wait and buy right away at full price (me for example).
