And the sale price fluctuates based on demand/supply etc, works a lot like the GW2 Gems or whatever they're called.
You can do better then that. I'm not seeing any creativity or effort in your post. You didn't happen to work on the Pantheon kickstater did you?
Buy orders are a little different I believe, higher fees and only good for 48 hours for CREDD.
They have a purchase rate fee for the buyer on the buy order? That's a bit of a market killer if they do.
Scientist is boring as fuck. But if you're somewhat of a min-maxer, it's the only path that I see as useful. An ability to summon your group, or teleport to the capital city aren't match by any of the other paths - in my opinion. Settler can summon a mailbox and a vendor, so it's probably second best, as far as abilities go.
This has been my absolute biggest pet peeve. The add mentoring into the game, which excites me because typically my wife (as a stay at home mom) gets to play more than me and usually outlevels me. However, when we can play together and she goes to mentor me -we can't see each other because she already completed the quests in the area and is in a different phase.
It saves from a wipe on a bad pull or something, but it's not like the death penalties in this game are extreme. Scientist and Settler just overall save you more time.
How do you know there was no foresight on the part of the developers when it comes to their design decision on how to implement phasing?
Because their systems specifically don't work with each other. It's a stupid design, whether they consciously made that decision, or just didn't think about it.
I'm not sure if you're joking or not. They already have the technology for phasing. Hell, they even have the technology for groups to sync into the same phase. How fucking hard is it to just have the mentor be put into the same phase as mentoree?
Not sure if you're stupid, or just not understanding what I'm saying. What I'm suggesting doesn't change their playstyle or preference for phasing whatsoever. It would just let me play with my wife using a system they've used as a selling point for the game.
Except WoW hasn't ever advertised a system specifically for friends who are further progressed than you to scale down to play with you. So why copy a design of a system that conflicts with your own indigenous systems?
Not really certain if you are stupid or just not understanding what I was saying, but what part of too technologically complex to make it cost effective did you have a problem comprehending?
Well I did read your post and I play Wildstar so time for you to come to the realization MMO design doesn't revolve around your wants and desires. If it was so simple to design and code what you wanted then phasing would have been designed and implemented exactly like you believe it should have been. Once again, the fact that it isn't should tell you something. Since you don't seem to be getting my point, your belief that it should be simple to implement isn't as simple a thing as you perceive it to be.
This is such a fucking ridiculous conversation. I can't believe you're actually defending a broken system. It has nothing to do with my personal wants or desires, their system is just fucking stupidly broken for ANYONE who wants to level with a mentor in a phased quest area.
Phasing has it's place. The majority of us don't want to go back to one raid boss per server and dungeons being camped. Phasing in the open questing world is annoying and a failed gimmick to breath life into questing. It's become a barrier to grouping with random people and a bigger frustration to group with actual friends if you aren't perfectly synced with each other.
You are confusing phasing with instancing. They are completely different technologies.
I've always considered an instance just a phase and vice versa. See your point though so for clarification, instance good phasing bad.
