Seriously, can we please make the shop rotate weekly? You already gave us three pages that cover the last three rotations. So why on earth do we still have to wait two weeks for “new” cosmetics? Just make it weekly. There is absolutely no reason for the same stuff to sit there for this long. Anyone who wants to buy something will buy it. And if someone misses a rotation, guess what? There are still three pages of previous rotations available. You have already solved half the problem. Just finish the job. Or, and hear me out, you could do something similar to what Apex does. Make **every cosmetic permanently available for purchase at its individual item at full price** through the character customization screen. Want a specific helmet? Buy it. Want just the chest piece from a set that hasn’t appeared in six months? Buy it. Then keep the rotating shop for **discounted bundles and special offers**. It makes sense for everyone: - Players who are patient can wait for their preferred cosmetics to appear in a discounted bundle. - Players who want a particular item right now can just buy it at full price. - The shop will be there basically for bundles and introducing NEW cosmetics. - Fatshark gets more opportunities to make money instead of hoping someone happens to be playing during the two weeks a particular cosmetic is available. - And we can finally stop pretending that artificially restricting access to digital clothing is somehow necessary. Apex has used a version of this approach, and it makes far more sense to me. I cannot imagine the number of potential purchases Fatshark is missing simply because people cannot buy what they actually want, when they want it. I mean, **you are literally stopping people from giving you money.** How does that make any sense? But I understand that asking Fatshark to abandon artificial scarcity might be a little too ambitious. So forget that second suggestion for now. Just rotate the bloody shop weekly. Please. It is such a small change, and it would already make the shop considerably less annoying. ---

It is painfully obvious at this point that fat shark is not in control of the cash shop beyond providing player feedback to who is… Might I recommend… Perhaps… Posting on the tencent forums? XD ---

FOMO certainly has boosted their business btw a lot of people on Reddit are blaming Tencent for the FOMO rotating store, meanwhile, DE—another company owned by Tencent, in its popular game Warframe, features only 2 FOMO cash skins: frost&mag heirloom. All other skins are available for purchase at any time. ---

Yeah the Tencent blaming has always been cope imo. FS shown that they’re more than fine with stuff like this, and afaik Tencent is usually pretty hands off with their studios unless they start preforming poorly. Either way, the rotating shop is awful and I hate it, but thankfully most of the cosmetics suck anyways so you’re not missing out on too much. ---

> [@Ryshek](#): > > Might I recommend… Perhaps… Posting on the tencent forums? XD > [@DiaoYu](#): > > FOMO certainly has boosted their business Whoever is in charge of the cash job is thinking chinese, no offense to china, great power house of a country - but the chinese gamer brain works veeeeeery differently than the western gamer brain. you can temp the asian gamer with these sudo-FOMO crap, but not the westerner, the westerner has to be tickled in some other way. But here is the big problem. there are absolutely zero people playing this game in asia. I know cause i tried playing Darktide when I was over at SEA for a year, the only people in my lobbies there were arabs, I do not think I even caught any indians in my lobbies. So who are you marketing the game for? the chinese? they are not playing darktide, the characters are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too ugly for them, they like pretty people, not whatever literal human rejects we have in this game. I can throw a sandal off my balcony and it will hit a guy prettier than any female model currently in game. Anyway, stop pandering to an audience that DOES NOT PLAY YOUR GAME. > [@dragomusic](#): > > Yeah the Tencent blaming has always been cope imo. My thinking is that whoever is running the mtx shop is not very experienced, and either is their first job or their first serious job. they are clearly copying something they think is working for other successful games without realizing that the target audience is very different, and also some of those games are FREE!! HELLO??? wake up!!! follow an actual shop that makes sense for this game. ---

> [@Metaphage](#): > > the westerner has to be tickled in some other way. I hope so, because there are quite a few people on Reddit who would gladly give up their lives/firstborn/left testicle just for some cosmetics to coming back 😅 Given that Fatshark shows no intention of discontinuing it, and even similar games like HD2 continue to follow the same pattern, I’m pessimistic about this, they’re surely laughing all the way to the bank ---

the only way the shop is ever gonna become normal is if people stop buying stuff from it the complaint “the fomo store is too fomo” is meaningless, that’s the design. you are meant to feel bad if you miss something and then can’t buy it anymore. it teaches you to buy immediately ---

> [@eatingsand](#): > > the only way the shop is ever gonna become normal is if people stop buying stuff from it On one hand, I think everyone who buys the full set of cosmetics is a walking advertisement for the Fatshark fomo shop, with the sole purpose of telling everyone else, “Hey, you **just missed out** on these shiny outfits!” On the other hand, i made all my classes a walking advertisement… They really knows how to grab human nature to the balls ---

HD2 actually canned its rotating shop a while back. It primarily makes money via warbonds which 1) are way cheaper per skin than Darktide and 2) feature a currency you can grind in game at a fairly reasonable rate. If you play a lot of HD2 you’ll find it pretty easy to have enough credits to buy what you want, iirc. ---

Honestly? The Class DLCs. Make them purchaseable via Aquilas, then make Melkbucks able to buy Aquilas. You’re now selling content that can be purchased for a reasonable fee in premium currency. Done and dusted. Alongside this the Aquila shop would have to become a non-rotating storefront. Done, and then I can close the single biggest and most enduring complaint about this game that remains. ---

> [@Ragnarok101](#): > > The Class DLCs. Even allowing to buy the class DLC with aquila would be so good cause im sitting on a ton of them. perhaps with a markup price, like 2000 or 3000 aquilas. > [@Ragnarok101](#): > > Alongside this the Aquila shop would have to become a non-rotating storefront. and are they doing well financially? I am unaware of thier financials, but if i understand correctly. helldivers studio is like a block away from fatshark. ---

> [@Ragnarok101](#): > > make Melkbucks able to buy Aquilas. I think this is unlikely to happen because so many people have a stockpile of Melk bucks. I have 500k and that’s after wasting a bunch on curio gambling. There’s little use for them currently, so anyone doing weekly contracts is likely overloaded with them. ---

> [@Effigy](#): > > I think this is unlikely to happen this is not unlikely, it is impossible. But what they can do. is super hard and annoying quests that melk can have on a weekly basis for 100 aquilas. something super annoying even more annoying than penances, and its across all characters, not just per class. By annoying, i mean something like complete an auric expedition and collecting 2000 tech remnants. something only a fraction of the player base can do. cause one person dies and you lose all the remnants. this way people are forced to play expedition, on highest difficulty. and get good for those measly 100, which add up to 5200 per year, not too shabby. but you want to drive the person to a state in which they will say F this, ill just open my wallet.
