QoL All-in-One NPC

Theros · March 2022

Sugestion:

All-in-One NPC Bank, Merchant, Deconstruction Assistant and whatever future bring....
Sell it at CrownStore for 30K (5k from Bank + 5k from Merchant + 5k from Deconstruction Assistant + QoL + Future addon on)
And save some kb in database.

Good ideia?

Yes, that is a good idea.

Add those functions to companions, even better.... no more annoying switching.

Leave companions alone. They are "free" (kind off) i disagree to add that kind of function in companions for free... unless we PAY! if we Pay i agree!

Well, it's a good idea, if one hasn't bought them all already. And if one wants all of them - I have banker and merchant, but no use for the deconstruction assistant.

Then you may buy All-IN-One with Discunt (10k discount) and both are removed from your acount. Easy!

Well, that could work.

This is only to avoid the need of 50NPC in future....

Bank
Merchant
deconstruction
Armory
Smuggler
... Mail NPC
... Farm Lead's NPC
... Construction NPC
... Cook NPC
... Trials+Dungeons NPC

.... i mean.... there's alot of Market in here i know. But i truly belive we can solve this and make some QoL in here. For a fair price ofc!

This topic was brought up recently, so I'll respond with the same answer:

They would lose Crown Sales.

Why? Because they are in the business of selling re-skins. Re-skins of cat mounts, indriks, costumes, motifs/styles, weapon packs, massive houses, etc. They've added merchants and bankers to that list as well.

One of the common topics is about the lack of customization for the Companions, mainly for head coverings. Why? So we will want to get different Companions..with different heads (and personalities). They are coming with the newest xpac, but I am willing to bet re-skins are coming to the Crown Store as well, like everything else.

So.. if you reduce what you currently have to buy, a merchant, a banker, a companion (currently bought through owning a xpac), and a deconstruction assistant, into just one NPC, then you remove the incentive for the customer to purchase re-skins of that entire host of NPCs. Why buy all of them, when you can just buy the Swiss Army knife of NPCs.

Given how the Crown Store is becoming more robust, and expensive, I don't see them sitting around at a table to make a decision where the answer would be "Yes!" to reduce monetization opportunities.

What I do see, are more re-skins. And, more varieties of summonable NPCs..with more re-skins.

I disagree!

They can sell NPC All-In-One as a CAT. Then reseller as a DOG, then a Bird, A rock, A door, A flower, A light.... Lyris...well.... For a fair price i don't see any problem. And don't forget about Database.... Some day, db will not handle all of NPC. So, to avoid that.... All-In-One is the Perfect Soluction!

ps:They can resell Sounds... Male sounds...Female Sounds... Water sound (relax ones) etc.... You dont need 50 items to make money. Just the right one!
