So there is a brand new item in the deal of the day: Polly... and my first thought was, "oh sweet a new vanity pet to go with the swashbuckler hat, arrr I'm a pirate!" Yes those were my exact words (notice the quotes), no paraphrasing or summarizing. So my issue with this being offered as a deal of the day before being offered in the store is that I had no idea that Polly is actually a vanity shield and not a pet. There is no indication of what type of vanity Polly is on the screen and there is also no was price since it's the first time this item is offered. We cannot really gauge how much of a deal this item is since we have no idea how much the price will jump to after the 24 hour deadline.
While we are on the topic of the 24 hour deadline; I know that during a patch STS decided to make the daily deal match up with CST (Central Standard Time) my clock still resets at midnight PST (Pacific Standard Time) and the deal changes before the timer actually hits zero. It also keeps the same deal after it does hit 00:00:00.
There was a statement by the developer Flip to inform us of the time zone change, but I'd like to know when the timer will reflect this change. I'd also like to know if there will be a change to the vanity icon or a not to inform buyers which type of vanity the item is. I guess one could guess what type of item it is based on what other items are missing, but if you're using a two handed weapon you could have nothing else equipped in the picture and have to guess if the vanity is a weapon or shield, it could also show the vanity and the weapon due to the glitch that has been around for a few months now. One could also guess that shields only show up on the left hand, while weapons only show up in the right. Most of the ways to decipher what type of vanity item is in the deal of the day were figured out as I was typing this out, but it would be loads easier.
