Item Suggestions

Ideas for shop items, other members will certainly have plenty ideas for shop items as well.

--An item that hides your inventory, you could call it a "cloaking device" or something. Great for those collectors that want to maintain an air of secrecy about their horde. All a person would see in their inventory is, "There is something here, you can tell by the distorted air, but you have no idea what it is. This member is using a Cloaking Device."
This might be extended to hiding other stats as well. Maybe one device will do it, maybe you need one for each thing you want hidden.

--An item that shows other members items you don't have: a "Hallucination." For making your collection seem cooler than it really is. Maybe the item description for a hallucinated object will be slightly flawed, for people to catch it if they look close enough. ("[collect] A wooden duck. The most useful item of all, but hey, at least you bought something!")

--Another "Detector" item could be used to look through both of these, but would be expensive. Maybe a future "Overlord Doll" (It's so cute!) and other detecting units would do this automatically.

 

the last dragoon shell

please for the love of god put this in.

that, or a piece of mengsks beard

 

How about a *Insert Terran thing here* generator that boosts minerals gained....Like the Mobious, Cadceacus, whatever (I know I maimed them)....They each boost a different part, like interest, mineral per word.

 

I really don't want to know what you'd use that for. It reminds me of my Economics teacher using "Britney Spears' Hair on eBay" as an example of a good with little intrinsic value, that would sell for a lot of money because of its' rarity and nature. My Economics teacher was awesomely weird.

I like that, I was trying to think of an item that would make a good "investment" other than collectibles, but couldn't really describe it. You seem to have hit the nail on the head.

Maybe a similar investment item lets a member predict the total number of posts that will be made on the forum in the next 24 hours (or even over longer periods, for higher returns) that rewards them for accuracy.

More ideas:
"Beer" was just added, but I am waiting for that 24-can fridge pack of Nuke Cola.

In reference to this thread: Creep, a staple for the Zerg, a delicacy to Terran connoisseurs.

An item that changes the "frame" around members' avatars/portraits. Maybe a Zerg or Terran frame (the current one seems Protoss-y)... maybe you could just have the frame reflect their chosen race, and then sell other novelty frames.

A "Plasma Shield" good for preventing one power level reduction.

 

Please no ideas about collectors, It's more fun if its secret and weird stuff just starts popping up.

 

That's such a good idea

 

I would love to buy Fenix's dead body, Really Really miss him still.

 

Nice..
But I would have to get it. My collection would not be complete otherwise!

 

maby for the investment item, for each probe you get, you get like 0.1 minerla bonous for post. and make the probe a bit more expensive.

 

Thats an awsome idea, this is a must.

I'd totally dig the fenix's dead body idea too.... BUT HE MUST BE ALIVE!

 

maybe hes infested, the zerg did kill him after all,
new item, infested fenix dragoon

 

wow, i love the idea of getting fenix body, dead of alive, both are exelent

 

How bout a command center thats EXTREMELY expensive, but you can pump out your own SCVs that (like what manon said) make like .1 mineral each post. and the more SCVs you get, the more minerals you get.

 

People will get like infinite rich then, thats not funny. Its already so that if you wait 1.5 month your money has been doubled. That isnt much if you have 100, but if you get 100.000 you earn the double in a 45 days. in 5 months you would be like a millionare.

 

O.O ur money gets doubled every 1.5monthes??? O.O wow ok i'm not gonna buy anything in awhile
oh and does it double the money in ur pocket or bank?

 

lol. well ive only been on this forum for 2 days, so i got awhile to go lol

 

Actually, with current interest rates, money kept in the bank will double once every 36 days, assuming no extra income from deposits, and no expenditures. Sweet huh?

 

Mineral stealers
Then we can turn the shop into an all out battleground!

 

Oh, yeh i'v only been around for about a week :thumbup:

Ok... how about adding Pie, with some sort of ingenius and preferably destructive function that i'm too uncreative to think of

...Something to make trading more meaningful would be nice... Like items increasing in value over time? Or like an 'Enhancer' item; so you can buy simple things and upgrade them and then sell for a higher than normal price

 

Items will increase in price overtime. As items became more rare the prices will go up accordingly. Currently there's no enhancer items, but it is a good idea Though we will soon be having random events such as "Any member whole owns a Tychus Findlay statute will get 3000 minerals" It's totally random so stay tuned
