DocHolliday 366 Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) Wow that is beyond dumb. I'd love to hear the thought process behind this setup. "Hey guys we have a ton of succesful examples in gaming today. What do you want to go with?" "I want to be unique and do something nobody has ever done before! Lets make player built shops that can be placed in Freeports! To prevent Freeports from having 5 million of them we will charge 1 gold per minute!" "Won't that inflate prices so people can't pay the costs?" "They make enough gold to do this! Never mine its 100k for a war token or 40k for a dragon!" "While we're at it lets remove 6x when the March update launches in April so people have less gold to spend!"

Man, you are never going to get out of that hole. Smh. Wait a couple more days and you will have to sell a galleon to break even and then the upkeep just starts again 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gomez Addams 278 Posted April 16, 2019 Now that’s a good idea! We should be able to sell titles to ships. Excellent idea. It would be a shipyard with all kinds of boats ready to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DocHolliday 366 Posted April 16, 2019 Hey guys I sold 4 brigs this week. How much did you make? I only lost 1,000 gold this week! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I only lost 1,000 gold this week! 1440 x 7= 10080 cost of player shop maintenance for a week coming up short 1k = 9080 divided by per brig = 2270 sale price per brig. Since this makes your brigs less than 2 days worth of shop rent, it would be hard to argue you are overcharging for them. However any player considering purchasing one of your brigs would need to weigh whether the time needed to farm the gold was less than the the time needed to farm the mats to build the brig himself. For the sake of the illustration let’s assume the brig and all its components are of default quality. By careful analysis of comparing the relative time investment of each option we can clearly see that... JK. It’s still patently absurb that shop rent should be a gold per minute, a fact that should be obvious even to brain dead lemurs on crack without any in depth analysis whatsoever. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kampfer91 58 Posted April 17, 2019 I find it is annoying that the shop only last for 2 days and then auto demolish , the shop itself cost quite a lot materials . Sure it will stop people from spamming them in freeport , but i would love it not go auto-demolish on other grids so can have a nice trading post . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No upkeep whatsoever. I mean if they REALLY want to add a tax that the seller pays then fine(not really fine), but oh well. upkeep is stupid. Especially for someone starting a new “small business” that nobody knows about yet. Jesus Christ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they have enough slots for merchandise they wouldn’t need to spam and it would actually be detrimental to do so. HOLY $@“$! There is an auto decay timer as well? Only 2 days? Damn it jat.

SIEGEGUN 57 Posted April 17, 2019 Just now, SIEGEGUN said: Was able to open it and this is what I saw. This upkeep is roughly 2-3 crewmen cost a day. It is blurry because I had to scale it down (500k pic limit). But in case you can not ready it, it says 7/100000, upkeep cost 1 gold charged approximately every 238 min. Not sure how this all works. I think I will put one up myself when I log in and figure it out.

DannyUK 308 Posted April 17, 2019 My neighbour tested it also, he put things in for me to take out for 1 gold just to test it out and it's not worth the hassle right now unless you've got more gold than you know what to do with. The upkeep cost is insane, I was hoping to build one eventually but now I know what it's like i'll leave it until they fix it hopefully. I don't know why they couldn't just have 1 NPC in a freeport and when you click E goto something like "available shops" then it brings you a list of all shops people have. You could have just a search function also, type what you want, it brings up available player shops then buy there and then from NPC. Auction house would be also fun but not sure if they are going down that route, probably not. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SIEGEGUN 57 Posted April 17, 2019 Upkeep is fine, the entire game is based off upkeep. But 1 gold a minute!?! WTF Grapeshot? This is not even mathematically viable for making a profit. This is not for companies with just lots of gold this just does not make money and that is the point of having a vendor, to make money off it. You literally can only sell at a loss because the upkeep is so out of whack. My island upkeep is nowhere near this. So I have to spend 300-500 gold a day to upkeep an entire island, but its 1 gold per .98 minutes for just selling honey? HEAR THAT JAT AND FRIENDS? NO ONE SELLS THINGS JUST TO SELL THEM AT A LOSS!
