I liked the wheel, but I'm a nerdy spergelord and can still see that this is much better. Agreed with the samey feel of most of the weapons. Shotguns/Blades are like that and feel much better as a result. They should take a similar approach to rewarding different gameplay with the other weapons.

An amusing image. Apparently at one point, the exchange was so bugged that no matter what price someone set for Aurum, it would sell for 1 MoF. The person that sold it would get their full money though. Then the exchange started giving people 2X Aurum per transaction. loving amazing.

Man, I guess I just caught the beginning of this currency thing before I went to bed. I should have stayed up and traded more, unless it's actually rolled back in which case... I'm glad I slept through it. Goondolences for anyone that put effort into this.

quote:We're terribly sorry for any inconvenience caused by today's extended maintenance. As some of you may know by now, there was an issue discovered with the Exchange and it'll take time to come up with a proper solution to both the underlying issue and the effects it may have caused. Today's maintenance period has been extended until at least 17:00 EDT / 21:00 UTC...(please correct me if the conversion is wrong somehow) and we'll try to keep you in the loop on any other developments. Patch notes will be posted on the official website at https://www.secretworldlegends.com once the servers are back up. They have no clue how to fix it and shits gonna be offline the rest of the day. Oh Funcom. Also, you know what was different about last night? Lots of people were given multiple character slots. Aurum is shared between characters. What are the chances that it's something as simple as multiple character break the whole loving exchange?

Edit: You know maybe we can fix this by telling them to cast Crimson Theater on top of Crimson Theater and that will reset and rollback the servers by an hour. A few runs of that and we will be good as new. Drinkfist fucked around with this message at 19:57 on Jun 25, 2017 |

Digital Decay posted:Did they really not test the cash shop and currency exchange during closed beta? If by test you mean, did they give the 100 beta testers 1k Aurum a week for the last two weeks of beta and see what happened, yes. If you mean did they do large scale testing where they gave a few people large quantities of Aurum to see what would happen, no. Did they have GMs putting Aurum into the system to test what happened when large amounts entered it, no. This was the same philosophy applied to pretty much all the testing. What is the absolute minimal amount of testing we can get by with? Does the system functional work on the face of it. Great. We're done.

It's why I never pay for f2p games unless I like it despite it's flaws. Since it's free I can play it how I want until it sucks to play. And it currently sucks less than it did before so

Thinking about it, I really do not understand how this economy is any better than original flavor TSW's. So, OK. You can pick up a MK3 weapon with a good suffix and sell it for 10k marks. Sure why not. So, how in all the world is this going to result in anything different from how most signets were not worth a drat, and the few good ones hit 15 mil, 40+ mil, etc Pax? At least that Pax was obtainable by running dungeons! People are only going to want the good MK3s! Have I lost my mind here? Am I missing some silver lining?

MK I and II will be fodder for the grind to 16 max level greens. I feel like at one point they were saying part of the "crafting" economy would be that you could sell upgraded items to other players, but upgrading them binds them to you so I guess that didn't happen after all.

Lawlicaust posted:You can upgrade without binding so you could definitely sell upgraded items. Huh, I thought it turned bound items. I tried putting a few upgraded items into the guild bank and it told me no. I didn't think I had equipped them but maybe I did accidentally. That's kind of cool, then.

Can you stick this in the OP so it's easy to see? Playing with goons Cabals (guilds) are cross-factional so we can all poo poo up chat together. You can get an invite by either posting your character name here or through discord. Note that you must be online to receive an invite, so try to request an invite when you'll be online for a little bit and during primetime hours. Chatting with goons Since Discord is the cool thing now, come join us here. We are a member of the Goon Discord Network which enables unified authentication and a directory of goon servers for lots of games. After joining our Discord channel, you'll need to be authed in order to request an invite. pre:To be assigned a Goon role and get an invite, follow these simple steps. Authenticate with the Goon Discord Network type !authme SA USERNAME HERE in chat For Example: If your username in Something Awful is IAmKale then type: !authme IAmKale If your username in Something Awful has a space in the middle like for example Tempus Thales then type: !authme Tempus Thales You will get a PM by the GDN bot to authenticate your account. Follow its instructions and you'll be assigned a Goon role.
