Cool Idea ! Then we could also have the "SSX: L33T Edition". Cheapest board would cost 1 million and the store only show a single gear item which doesn't change until you buy it. Of course, only by placing in the diamond bracket would earn you any profit because if you don't diamond, you clearly are not skilled enough to enjoy this fine game. :rolleyes

Touché

My main cause for SHOP RAGE is that I have yet to see the only board
of mine confirmed to be in the game.
The only person who has seen "Thicket" was Charmy.

And every time I enter the store with a lower level character, I pray I don't find it..
If I did, I would have to buy and use it at like level 7, and possibly never find it again.

I completely agree. Then for everyone in the middle, we'll have one called "SSX" which functions exactly as the game does now.

SOLUTION TIME

(Option 1)
What if each section of the store broke off into brackets/categories?
Kind of like this:
Suites - Standard
Glowing
With Perks
Gear - Wingsuits
Ice Axes
Armor
Headlamps
Pulse Goggles
Oxygen Tanks

These are just examples, but there could be categories for every purchasable item.
There might even be more branches off from the categories.
I think the menu system is built for this capability; there's enough room on the right side of the screen.

It may not provide an ultimate answer, but if they decide to leave it randomly generated, at least
it would provide more items available in that category.
Add a randomize button to that system, and we'd be pretty golden.

(Option 2)
Open up the entire item list in the shop, just like it is open in what you've already purchased.
List everything in order, and let us go through everything and pick.
It wouldn't be very organized, but we'd see everything.
And I'm not sure how huge of an adjustment this would be.

The question is, how do you maintain every item and its label that you already have when you update the system?
Would this jack up items we've already purchased?

Well, I leave you guys alone for one day with my topic and look what you guys do with it, lol.

So it seems some people actually like the shop the way it is. That's fine with me but why disagree with the people who are having a hard time with it, shouldn't it be fun for everyone? Maybe a refresh but isn't the best solution, but saying 'deal with it' is kinda rude if you ask me.

Some other solutions I thought of:
1 - Make it a cheat, like hold LT+RT and press x on the shop to refresh it, that way it's a hidden feature to most of the players but people who are getting annoyed have a way around it.
2 - Add variations, so when we choose a something to buy, give us the option to choose between 4 color/graphic variations with the same stats and perks, that way we still can't grind for the best gear but we can choose something more to our liking when we finally do find that legendary gear/board/suit.

Seeing no troll comment from Batty makes me believe that the dev team don't actually think it's worth fixing, I do hope they'll at least try to make it a little better for us cause spending a hour to finally get a nice looking suit with the right perk is a bit to much.

While we're on the topic of frustrating, everyone please note that the plural of "menu" is "menus". Just because a word has a vowel or other strange letter at the end, it doesn't mean that the rules of grammar are invalid. When in doubt, err on the side of not using an apostrophe.

Sorry for that, in dutch it's pretty much a rule you write the plural as "menu's" since writing it like menus would change it's pronunciation which is illigal in the dutch language. I kinda forgot that that doesn't happen in english.

Switch's board is one of my faves, but I haven't seen it in the shop yet. Maybe because I was searching for fluoro green. :heh

Yeti · Posted: Thu Apr 19, 2012 3:41 pm Post subject: Re: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

Its a really cool board.

I usually see this in the shop with Zoe but youve got to keep a look out for the extra colour changes teh EA team did

, so its either luck or some boards appear more with different characters?

(edit: this is a photoshopped pic....*hint*...look at the shop section...)

legendary glowing with an extra tricky perk. nice. That extra tricky is one of the best perks I think because it's useful for race and trick events. For race events it gives you unlimited boost for longer even if your combo expires and in trick it gives you access to super ubers even if your combo expires.

vix · Posted: Thu Apr 19, 2012 8:56 pm Post subject: Re: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

no whoozwah...some of the chat folks said the same thing...

...my hamster apparently photoshopped with magnificence.

look at the shop line....it's different than what's in the game. i photoshopped it with my hamster run photoshop...

:heh

I edited the post with the pic to have a hint, lol.

Thank you guys so much!
I only wish I coudl find it...

So, Yeti, was Thicket blue instead of green in the game??
It does look blue here... But when I designed it in photoshop it wasn't strictly neon green.
Making it a .png did that. In Photoshop, it had a little bit more texture and depth to the green color.

Here's a store suggestion, that i think should be implemented

What do you guys think ?

Awesome ideas Yeti and I completely agree with you. I would love to have enlargeable thumbnails or the option to view your stuff in a larger size. I want to see these pretty boards we all made. At the moment, you only see a tiny image of half the board and a glimpse of it on the cutscenes/in game.

The Taiwan flag board shows up as a plain red board in the store thumbnail. I just bought it since it had great stats being a timed offer special. In a normal situation, I would have just passed it by thinking it was some boring old board. This is not the first time something like this has happened.
I dislike the limited board thumbnails more than anything else in the store.

whoozwah · Posted: Fri Apr 20, 2012 10:38 am Post subject: Re: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

I would care more about the board designs if there was more of an emphasis on them. As it is now it's like yeah they're there but you can't preview them and you can't choose which one you want. I don't know what you guys' thought process is when buying boards but the ONLY thing I really base my buying decision on is the stats. Design doesn't even come into the equation.

Now if the boards themselves were blank and we could buy them independently from the designs then I would go to town looking for cool designs for them but since we can't do that, I default to gameplay over graphics.

In fact I think as far as the UI is concerned that should be do-able. A section for boards which are just blank boards with apprpriate stas like normal. Another section underneath for Board designs that also shows designs at random. Boards would cost their standard amount but designs would be pretty cheap. No more than maybe 5,000 or so. then you'd just equip your board and then you'd equip your design and you're set to go.

Batty would this require a ton of work to implement?

Jabbarwocky · Posted: Fri Apr 20, 2012 11:20 am Post subject: Re: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

Had a quick look at this thread and I generally prefer the way the store functions now, however...

I totally love and agree with Whoozwah's post though. I love seeing those awesome designs (tiny thumbnails) but my purchases are purely based on stats.

I'd say the designs can cost a fair bit though. Not as much as a stock board but I dunno, I guess 5k-20k? I don't want to have all the designs within a day.
