There’s probably a naming rights deal in here somewhere. Maybe two. How about: Bethesda presents the Boomer Inc.

Stick with the Dew. Their pockets are plenty deep and gamer demographics are the sweet spot of their target market. They’ll pay extra. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
INVALID 1,037 Posted April 18, 2019 Thanks for the valuable feedback folks. We definitely want to see more players making use of shops, so let's see if we can get them in a better place. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I were you guys I would get rid of the upkeep all together, at least until the shops have been fully tested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We definitely want to see more players making use of shops, so let's see if we can get them in a better place. First off thanks for the response. Despite what others say/think in my experience you (GS) have good communication with players, listen to feedback, and I think that is a very good thing. That said I think they need to be more than just "getting them to a better place". Getting them to a better place implies they are actually functioning. These are not functioning. They "technically" work, but a 14k upkeep cost for selling honey, at 1 gold a minute is not even functioning. No one can actually use vendors right now. That is straight broken and unusable. There is NOBODY, that can use these, sell things, and make a profit of any kind. My island upkeep is insanely lower. So you can own and upkeep an entire island, but if you want to sell honey its going to cost thousands and thousands of gold in upkeep? I think this issue needs to be bumped up in priority as basically every one wants to be able to do this. And nobody can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Others may have been providing “valuable feedback” in this thread, but *I* have been goofing off. My valuable feedback lies elsewhere. Here I have mostly been threatenening cartoon levels of violence and dreaming up get rich quick schemes. Just wanted to set the record straight. Also Jat pm me about my idea for a secret no bid selection process regarding the naming rights for the upcoming Auction house. Just want to make sure they get awarded to the proper parties me.

Fix and get Vendors right but the moment you put in an AH is the moment you take any chance this game ever had of being a decent game with Trading and Economy and toss it right out the window!!! It will instantly devolve into World of Warcraft type theme Park crap economy!!! Ultima Online and Star Wars Galaxies did Economy right with Vendors!!!

Dhara 8 Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) Please, please no auction houses! This is such an old and tired idea. I'd love to build a cute little town with shops and stuff. Been waiting for a game to do that for years now. Bases are already close to being useless. And if we can sell ships and tames that would be totally awesome. I can see myself sailing around everywhere to see what ppl are selling, what they are pricing stuff and so on. Lot's of game play there. But an auction house will just make it so boring. One stop shopping like Walmart or Amazon. No one else will ever be able to compete on their own claims and so all you will have left will be the auction house.

Not everyone is going to want to sail across the map to buy some wood. Freeports should be the place for the player shops. not just that but if people did sale that far and then the seller didn’t have what they wanted they would be pissed. i am still all for an auction house. I like one stop shopping Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey that’s cool. Odds are every other grid except the ones that touching yours will be closer to the Freeport. but yeah if they sail by your island and happen to be sailing by on the right side of it and are also looking at your island then yeah that would be cool too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
