Goblin Squad Store Soft Launch

[Ryan Dancey]

OK everyone it's time to get green and crazy!

The Goblin Squad Store is now on-line.

This is a soft launch. We need to run it for a few days without it getting hammered by the load of millions of hardcore MMO fans descending en masse to throw money at us. Well, OK, that would be awesome, but .... this is very new code. It still has that "new code" smell! And the odds are that we'll find something about the store that needs fixin'.

So go ahead and let your friends know its ready to use, but please don't submit articles to the gaming press websites about it yet. We'll handle that ourselves when the store has had a little bit of real-world use.

If you have questions about the store or how it works, please ask them in this thread so I can keep all the responses coordinated.

Now let's get some more Goblins!

Sorting of Goblin Squad Packages is wrong: Pioneer and Open Enrollment should be first listed, not in their alphabetical order.

[Ryan Dancey]

@DeciusBrutus - we agree. Paizo is working on changing the sort orders.

[Nevy]

Is there no Destiny's Twin option or Twice Marked? :(

[AvenaOats]

Good work.

I find it hard to see the price for

- Pathfinder Online Add-On: Regional Trait Pack
- Pathfinder Online Goblin Squad T-Shirt

Under: Step Two: Pick Your Add-Ons! ? Could be me or could be the formatting of aligning the prices or they could be missing. They're not displayed when you click on them individually either (range of sizes and regions is listed however, respectively).

[wxcougar]

That's really weird, when I first looked the prices were fine on all of them, but when you mentioned it AvenaOats, I looked back and they were gone.

[Jazzlvraz]

Only three Add-Ons have "Add to Cart" buttons.

[Harad Navar]

Is there a way for existing Goblin Squad Members to purchase additional add-ons? It does not seem to recognize that I am already a member.

The former, in particular, has been held out from the beginning as a Kickstarter-Backer-only reward; I can't remember off-hand whether the second's been in that category as well.

[Cirolle]

So... its only for the goblin squad pioneers?
The people that have already donated and are probably already in EE?

Or do we purchase them through the "My Pledge Drives" section of "My Account"?

[Cat-thulhu]

Same question here. I backed the kickstarter and am a squad member but it doesn't seem to recognise me for add-ons. Especially the very cool minis.

[wxcougar]

Cirolle, I believe there is a way to become a goblin squad member in that store. Then you have access to the rest of it. That's what I am gathering anyway. Someone feel free to correct me : )

Edited to make that Someone feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

[Nevy]

Hmm, it wont let me buy anything? It just keeps removing it from the cart. Lol :(

[Cirolle]

Ok

I will correct you

Ah, we apparently can't add items from the "My Pledge Drives" section.

[Cirolle]

Its the millions of MMO players that are crashing the site.

Damn it.
Oh well, by accident, I spend my spare 100 dollars on EQN Landmark.
Money out the window

Actually, it seems to be bugged in Google Chrome. In Internet Explorer it is fine.

[Lifedragn]

These are exactly the kind of issues that were the reason for the soft launch.

[Pax Morbis]

So I am pledged in through the guild level, and I am buddied up so I think that I am all good. If I buy an add-on, like the honourable title, will it be applied on top of any pledge benefits I get from my buddy pledge?

Ouch! That would have been a good test plan a few years back. These days Chrome is the most popular pc-based browser, and not testing in it is a big no-no. Wonder if Firefox works? I think that's #2 these days...

Live and learn, I guess. Live and learn. (I was making similar mistakes a couple years back myself)

[Ryan Dancey]

In order to purchase anything the first thing you must do is get Goblin Squad membership.

Click the button that says "Become a Goblin Squad Member".

Once you have added any of the packages in that section to your cart, you will be able to put add-ons into your cart as well.

If you are shopping with an account that is a member of the Goblin Squad, you should be able to buy add-ons and such without doing that first. I'll double check to make sure that is working as intended.

I can only add to cart the Memorial of Honor or one of the two Game-Time add-ons at present myself. Using Chrome.

[Nevy]

It is definitely not working Ryan. It will let you put the item in your cart, such as the Pioneer option, but when you go to check out it will say "this item has been removed because it is unavailable."

In Google Chrome, it will not even update the shopping cart when you try to add something to your cart.

I'll have to come back later as it is dinner time...I hope they don't sell out :(

[Pax Morbis]

I can add them all in Internet Explorer just fine. I can only add a few of them with Firefox and Chrome.

[Gary Teter]

Whoops, sorry about that folks, the Goblin Squad store was only partly turned on. We're going to be throwing the rest of the switches over the next few minutes, and I expect we'll have it running properly within the hour.

This thread has more information about this update to the website.

[Lifedragn]

Question on some of the items that come with packs... are these real-money purchased items things that persist through death without expenditure of threads? I imagine the answer is yes, just based on the outrage of losing an item that you paid real cash for. Of particular interest is that bag of holding in the player's pack. I'd hate to give a little extra just to get that and then have it looted or destroyed.

[Ashgan]

looks like I checked at a good time will be back in an hour ish take a look see.

[BrotherZael]

Ryan. I want your

Store

[Deianira]

Working from my iPad, I cannot add a tee shirt to my cart (no "add to cart" button). The only things with the button are the Memorial of Honor and the two Game Time options.

<hugs goblin plushie and sobs quietly>

[Fiery_Dervish]

Is there a list somewhere of what you already have based on your kickstarter backer level and/or daily rewards? I don't want to accidentally duplicate items o.o

[Gary Teter]

The My Pledge Drives page might have what you're looking for.

[Pax Rafkin]

Are those minis the same ones were getting from previous Kickstarter? Assuming we pledged earlier enough?

[Ryan Dancey]

@Pax Rafkin - yes

[BrotherZael]

it has been completed :I

part of me regrets parting with 100 dollars for this game.

He was quickly shot, stabbed, clubbed with a shovel, thrown into tony's bread shop, put through WWI gas bombings, and then exercised.

All is right in the world.

[Alzaric]

It took a little doing, but I finally got it to work after trying a couple different browsers. Obviously some kinks need to be worked out, but it appears as though my card has been charged, so I'm happy for now. :)

[BrotherZael]

Took me a few tries as well XD

I hope these posts are making the devs happy

[Deianira]

Yay! Goblin Squad tee shirt ordered!

<twirls around the room with her goblin>

... What?!

[Vaith]

I just purchased it and confirmed my order was completed from My Account settings. However, at this point, I should receive an order confirmation via email but haven't gotten it yet.

Just to let you know.

I'm not judging... that Goblinsquad T-Shirt is one of my favorites. Though I rarely get to wear it because the girlfriend always grabs it to wear first.

[Nevy]

Okay, so for some reason it kept saying my credit card was declined, so I was bummed out. Now I go and look on my credit card and the one that I tried three times on has been charged 100.00 x 3 and my other credit card that I tried once has been charged 100 x 1.

What do I need to do?

[Ryan Dancey]

@Nevy - [e-mail]

So... I take it you've ordered one for her? Major boyfriend points!

Thanks Ryan, I sent the email. It's no big deal I just want to get in on Early Enrollment. Hopefully I can get someeee of my cash back, lol. Don't be so greedy :)

[Nightdrifter]

Might want to change the description on Pioneer:

"Get into Pathfinder Online during the first month of its Early Enrollment phase"

"a digital downloadable copy of the Pathfinder Online MMO and an invitation to become an Early Enrollee in the second month of the Beta"

[Kobold Catgirl]

I gotta be honest, being as cheap as I am, I kinda wish there was an option to get in something like the third month of EE. ;D

You would think. But then she'd just wear both... like she does with the matching Jurassic Park T-Shirts I got. XD

Thanks :)

That was what i was looking for.

[Nightdrifter]

Another description error for the 1 year add-on:

"Get a head start by pre-purchasing one year of Pathfinder Online game time at the cost of 10 months of game time. That gives you two months FREE!"

10*$15 = $150

The price for 1 year is listed at $180.

[Harad Navar]

Finally worked in Chrome. T-shirt and 2 player packs to make 3 full character sets (player/region/class). Guild later.
