For all you enchanters out there.... we at The Shadow Empire have decided to open up an enchantment system that you may use to find possible combinations of reagents for an enchantment. The entire reagent list for an enchantment is given, no Tier 1 combinations will be shown as there are just too many of them and are easy to determine from the given reagent list, if there are any Tier 2 or Tier 3 (which presently there aren't any) combinations available then those combinations will be shown. You may filter out the combinations by selecting reagents that are a "Must Have" or "Must Omit".

So check it out, and let me know what you think of the system so far.

Enjoy!

With us having to physically travel to the location, I would think the items should be able to stay on there for a month total before having to deal with them, with maybe staying up for auction for 2 weeks as well as a "re-auction non-sold items" option that will put them back one more time for another 2 weeks (1 month total).

Welcome aboard!!!

Hopefully they will put on a time limit on how long an item can remain on the auction as well. In order to reduce the amount of items on the auction. It could also be, that the items are forfeited to the town or game if the owner doesn't come to claim them within a certain amount of time as well. This would keep bringing people back just to collect their wares, though it will also probably keep people from auctioning items at places they don't travel to often. Which may or may not be a bad thing, as it will do its intention of reducing the items list.

As for the one item out of a stack, New World is doing that. Though maybe they could make it so the seller can choose to "sell as bulk only" or "allow bulk to be sold in units" which would cover both aspects.

can't compete with that regardless of how they tax. If you ever played Albion, think about the days when Caerleon was

Resistance is futile. All your base are belong to us.

Sorry.. just had to say that

I am fine with having a listing fee up front, after all it takes money to put on an auction so there has to be some kind of guaranteed payment for the auctioneer and not just the local government.. A listing fee will also help keep junk off the market as the listing fee would be higher priced than the junk being sold. Still, I would prefer the listing fee to be kept as low as possible in order to generate money for those poor folks out in the boonies who only have junk to sell. Ahh... make the listing fee price based off the size of the town/city!! That would work... after all.. it does cost more to live in a big city than the country homestead, and that is also where the most traffic will be.. so its a win win! heavier listing fees in bigger more populated areas, and lower listing fees in far off - less populated areas.

This is actually the first time I have ever heard any complain about not having equipment dropped from mob kills. However, if they were to do this, I think it would be more likely that there is a chance for "intelligent" mobs that kill you to loot your corpse until their "very small inventory" is filled and then when that mob is killed (before being respawned) will drop those items they looted from your corpse.

With that said, I do believe there are much more important things to work on at the moment, though this may be a nice to feature to include much much later down the road.

@Logain said in Fall Alpha Dev Update #1:

That said, I guess they should be 'restricted', as in you can't just build roads wherever you want, or you're going

I am quite sure that players will only be able to build roads within their own town space.

@Farlander

They may have a listing fee, but I would think that they would instead lean toward only having a double tax system. One for the game, and one for the city, upon the sell of an item. At least, this method makes the most sense to me.

Egregious

@TrueCrimsonFTW

With the problems they have had with teleporting, and having to keep nerfing it... I somewhat doubt they will ever having flying. I just hope they keep the teleport in.

Sounds like the starting lineup of my own list as well. Throw in a few lineages, shadowbanes, and etc.. and there's our startup list!

Welcome aboard.

Here here @Spectre , give that @PeachMcD a key!

@Farlander

The auction house will probably be similar to the docks system that was shown in the video. There will be a set tax that the game will take, and then their will be a city tax that the city will take. So, each item in essence will be double taxed. If they removed the game tax completely, then they would in essence be removing a major cash sink from the game which in turn will inflate everything. So I am quite sure they will keep the game tax in the equation.

Points Points Points Points....... MUST HAVE MORE POINTS!!!!

Superfluous

@David353

Glad you approve of what they are doing then. Each alpha the influencers are given keys to hand out to their watchers, and recently they've gotten some bigger named influencers involved as well. DS are always interested in adding more influencers with their content creator package deal just for that purpose.

Once DS gives the date for the alpha test, you will start to see it all happen
