that's what I thought also

round sleet
#

Yeah, I don't think you got the padding one. It's not all of the bonuses, just 1 per flesh

keen sedge
#

padding one will sell for way more I think

long maple
#

the type is set i think

loud echo
#

the first one that went out was DS

drowsy warren
#

no there are different flesh items with different bonuses (listed above)

leaden sonnet
#

still same as a +5 DB item. Not the worst deal ever

robust agate
#

Nindon takes it for 255m!
Next up, another property!

opaque wharf
#

melee DS, not including ranged

loud echo
#

melee DS

radiant ginkgo
hushed hazel
#

I don't know what I bought then, I guess - I was reading the Plat descriptions

robust agate
#

Stepping away to refill water. Don't sell anything I want while I'm gone. 😂

leaden sonnet
round sleet
#

Doesn't help vs arrows/bolts

radiant ginkgo
#

its physical DS, not generic DS, needs activation, has side effects, has cost, etc etc

opaque wharf
#

its a trap

desert pilot
#

5 = 5 except when 5 = S

verbal flare
#

will the +5 CER one also be vs physical, not everything?

leaden sonnet
#

Oh, the only aspect that really matters is that it is physical only. the rest dont seem like an issue given the bonuses

cobalt bronze
#

Bundle it with Reggy's cloak and sell it as a 3x DB for 600mil

radiant ginkgo
#

having to activate it every 15 mins is also vastly more annoying than 100% uptime

desert pilot
#

write a script

robust agate
#

Oh, good, we're still on the property.

silver imp
#

So the two offered in March are +5 melee AS and +5 melee DS. The padding ones are in April. And a +5 thrown AS.

hushed hazel
#

So this one is just +5 physical DS - Ah, ok. I misunderstood

silver imp
#

Yes

opaque wharf
#

+5 AS still to come

drowsy warren
#

dying to know what happens when you eat too much flesh though

crisp vector
#

And then +CS one at DR Mania Replacement Event and I weep as I am bloodscrip poor

hushed hazel
#

It doesn't look like I am going to use it, then

gentle grove
#

Heartburn. Nausea. Indigestion.

robust agate
#

Tolwynn wins a property for 200m!
Next up, the blink katana!

wide parcel
#

Upset stomach

odd seal
#

💩

opaque wharf
#

identifying sheath?

nova haven
#

It kind of just like clunks if it's weighted

opaque wharf
#

ohh ok

drowsy warren
#

An identifying sheath, sometimes simply called an ID sheath, is a lightly scripted weapon container that makes different noises when weapons are inserted. The sound is based on the weapon's properties. It appears from testing that weighting overrides flares in messaging.

nova haven
#

sizzles if it's fire flaring, etc, they're neat

verbal flare
#

what slot is this flesh thing?

round sleet
#

stomach slot

gentle grove
#

Makes different sound effects based on the weapon's properties.

opaque wharf
#

AI-crystal in a sheath

drowsy warren
#

what noise does it make when it identifying blink flares I wonder lol

silver imp
verbal flare
#

but you can only have 1

silver imp
#

Right.

#

It's not a worn limit.

hoary ginkgo
#

You're literally changing your body into monster-body to get the effect. It permanently changes your body, right? Can only do that once.

zenith ether
#

I hope overusing the flesh triggers the lurk script on you

radiant ginkgo
#

wow, blink is popular

round sleet
#

How long until Helsfeld puts the blink katana up for sale?

robust agate
#

Helsfeld wins a blink katana for 444m!
Next up, another property!

keen kelp
#

20 minutes after the auction ends

verbal flare
#

these properties, if they don't come with a tele key, you can't ever get one right?

radiant ginkgo
round sleet
#

The SK shield throw was less than 24 hours

long maple
#

family comes first, he has to feed his kids

verbal flare
#

he's had small kids to feed for like 20 years now right

vague onyx
#

is there another thaumaturge book in april?

robust agate
#

Neovik wins a property for 99.75m!
Next up, another property!

verbal flare
#

can people own multiple properties?

distant karma

The small chamber is gently illuminated by the strange stormlight filtering through wide hexagonal windows of leaded glass that look out upon an alien plateau.  Along the walls, shelves hold old books that season the air with the the tang of old leather, the bite of preservatives, and the dry undercurrent of aged parchment.  Silhouetted against the windows' illumination, a writing desk stands, replete with quills and ink.
Obvious exits: out

Your jewel-inlaid tome falls into your hand.```
The Thaumaturge Tome Sanctuary

Props to Auchand for this fantastic item. 🙂
hushed hazel
#

can you bring other people into it?

long maple
#

is that unlimited use?

vague onyx
#

the pet tome follows you around forever right?

long maple
#

it gets destroy when it rains

distant karma
latent jay
#

this entire auction was a long con to force us into the presentation for the gemstone equivalent of florida timeshares

drowsy warren
#

how many anima per scroll fed? Probably depends on the value?

distant karma
#

Depends

long maple
#

neat concept

distant karma
#

It's going to be the new hotness for folks that chase that mechanical 1%

royal cedar
drowsy warren
#

curious to see a few numbers on scroll value vs anima gained

round sleet
plain delta
#

Did Wyrom answer if you can remove the monster flesh?

royal cedar
robust agate
#

Erek wins a property for 100m!
Next up, a kettle!

drowsy warren
#

you don't hold the tome it floats around you

stoic plaza
#

i believe the monster flesh is stuck to you forever

royal cedar
plain delta
#

thank you ❤️

distant karma
royal cedar
#

Very cool

#

It reduces DS?

distant karma
#

If holding it

royal cedar
#

Oh. But doesn't really matter because you don't need to hold it?

long maple
#

i thought magic items don't hinder casters in offhand anymore?

round sleet
#

Why would it only be for casters?

latent jay
#

magic items are scrolls and wands. not random scripted dohickys

static wave
#

whats the 15 second warning?

latent jay
#

even if their script is magicky

round sleet
#

But I don't think it counts as a traditional magic item anyway

drowsy warren
#

it's a scroll, isn't it?

robust agate
#

Teveriel wins the kettle for 70m!
Next up, an herb kit! Also has 20 Survival Bonus and extracts at double speed.

silver imp
#

Auction just went too long, we're working on it.

placid otter
#

every minute now somebody has to smack down the auto-end?

polar veldt
#

Don't you dare end this early! Every item! let's goooooo!

placid otter
#

well yeah, at this point we're invested

silver imp
#

Because of the long delay, if anything doesn't go out, it will be added to April. Everything should, but the auction is getting weird running so long.

latent jay

Where my time sword at?!

silver imp
#

Everything still running.

keen sedge
#

is time sword gonna hit 1 bil?

young salmon
#

have we figured out what this is yet? a burled mesquite disc set with a spiral of picture jasper

robust agate
#

Sarcasm wins the super herb kit for 95m!
Next up, fully unlocked mana-infused full plate!

long maple
#

how many items left?

young salmon
#

Like 34

long maple

brazen chasm

the property voucher says to raise it if you want to redeem it, but it is giving me this message:

>raise my voucher
The green property voucher cannot be redeemed at this time.  Please contact a Game Master.

The auctioneer slams both fists down upon the table and says, "See?  Told ya!  I don't play around.  Fifteen seconds goes fast!  Congratulations, !  Please step to the side, and the clerk will be right with you.  Enjoy that new full plate for your bid of 2 silvers!

uh oh

weary gazelle
vague onyx
#

auchand..is there another one of those in april?

weary gazelle
#

Our current plan is to include a T4 tome in the April auction, but not T5.

hardy salmon
#

Can you turn off the ambient/movement messaging on the cat bell? so as to not annoy people

vague onyx
#

awwww 😭

loud echo
#

btw Auchand I highly look forward to when those Tomes make a tier'd appearance at a future RW/DR/EG or such!

robust agate
#

I like how Ondreian wants the recovery without the messaging and I want the messaging without the recovery. 🤣

weary gazelle

T5 will be remain of exceptional rarity.

what happens when u sneaking around?

drowsy warren

Normal dress: a $_front-knotted pale blue tulle gown$_ traced in bare alabaster-threaded branches

distant karma
opaque wharf
#

that gown is typod hard

distant bone
#

We are looking into the issue in Platinum.

hardy salmon
#

Thanks for the info, I really like this getting information in Discord during an auction in real time.

crisp vector
#

no sneaking you have a bell on. against the rules

hardy salmon
#

Yeah, I didn't even ask if it prevents sneak as a verb/movement style, that's a good point!

brazen pawn
#

With this dress you could LET IT GOOOOOO

robust agate
#

Shenanigans (bugs), but Claudaro has it for 88,888,888.
Meanwhile, a 20x/day Cone of Elements wand.

crisp vector
#

You are unable to determine if it will persist after its last magical charge has been expendedwell that would sure be something if it crumbled

brazen chasm
#

anyone else having issues using the property voucher?

gaunt prairie
#

Uhh...something is up with the gown, right?

round sleet
#

Auction oddities, better whip out that EXP gun 😆 ❤️

fringe elbow
#

Definitely strange

nimble bolt
#

exp gun.....hehehehe.... I like that

static wave
#

well its all broken now

verbal flare
#

what is this 15 second warning thing?

robust agate
#

As that gets worked out...
More issues pop up. Perhaps time to pause.

opaque wharf
#

its probably a way to speed up the ending

nova haven
#

Wyrom did say the auction was getting weird lol

hardy salmon
#

No pausing, only selling

opaque wharf
#

but this is going off the crazy

hardy salmon
cobalt bronze
#

what professions where hauberk?

silver cape
#

bards?

verbal flare
#

bards can,

static wave
#

its doing reverse auctions now

gaunt prairie
#

Uh. Something clearly went wrong with the gown, and while I don't want to yank it out of anyone's hands, we all know when something has gone buggy.

radiant ginkgo
#

aren't haubergeons a dead armor base now?

crisp vector
#

people from the 1990s use hauberk, iirc

sage tundra
#

crash the game

desert pilot
#

this is the reverse auction we've all been dreaming of

sage tundra

gotta pull the ripcord

keen kelp

abort, ABORT

mental pier
#

whats the differance between t4 and t5 on the book

strong apex
#

Oh god it has all gone so wrong!

brazen pawn

Racing through the items lol

opaque wharf
#

lets crash the game to stop donny walberg

is this working as intended or the auction is on crack now

half musk

They're working on it.

its past the auctions bread time

distant karma
brazen pawn
#

Donny can't be stopped. He can't even be contained.

drowsy warren
#

he downloaded ChatGPT and is doing his own thing now

opaque wharf
#

im guessing it was a built in speed up process to the auctioneer, to get the auction over quicker near the end

weary gazelle
#

The auctioneer got tired! 🙂

mental pier
#

no moving stuff to april might not be able to make it

verbal flare
#

yeah but he's all over the place with bids and wins

placid otter
#

yeah, it'll also really play with the pricing since people have been bidding this time with the one limit etc.

cobalt bronze
#

was haubergeon chainmail?

sage tundra
#

yes

odd seal
#

It's aug chain.

crisp vector
#

we're all clear as a bell hit us with some exp lol

hollow elm
#

chain hauberk

round sleet
#

aug

keen sedge
#

aug chain

native basalt
#

it's made of eggplant?

fair grotto
#

yes - chain covering chest, arms and legs

sage tundra
#

The haubergeon is chain armor that covers the torso, arms, and legs.

cobalt bronze
#

I assume aug chain is metal

fringe elbow
#

Haubergeon != hauberk

crisp vector
#

oh aug chain that's actually good, for bards

brazen chasm
#

if a property voucher doesn't work do I need to put in a assist? or just hold off until tomorrow?

crisp vector
#

i was worried someone made this hauberk (gross)

plain delta
#

I would say hold off til tomorrow since Tivvy/Thandiwe are the PP guru/GMs and they are probably a bit underwater with the auction right now.

brazen chasm
silver imp
#

Alright, we had to pause the auction. Something happened at midnight ET and I don't know if we can get this fixed in a reasonable amount of time. We might have to delay the rest of this auction.

silver cape
#

ugh

opaque wharf
#

Violet orbs for all!

hollow elm
#

Nooooooooo

static wave
#

how long is the attempt going to be? 5 minutes or 30+?

amber delta

oh good bedtime

round sleet
#

The Y2K of auctioneers

young salmon
#

y'all must be exhausted

silver imp
#

Probably looking at 2+ hours again.

verbal flare
#

I say 5.5 hours is long enough for one session

hollow elm
#

Manual auction

static wave
#

I sincerely apprecate the time and effort but its been a long night

young salmon
#

Yeah- I think everyone's good for now

hollow elm
#

No, speak for yourself

polar veldt
mental pier
#

just go manual and finish it off

young salmon
#

thank you so much everyone for all of the hard work

placid otter
#

so restarting at 2:30 am eh?

silver imp
#

There is no manual. The items aren't in a place we have them right now.

fossil basalt
#

What's the effect on silver sharing then?

robust agate
#

Can we trade silver again between now and whenever this restarts?

hollow elm
#

lol

crisp vector
#

can the reschedule be on a saturday not a sunday plz

subtle stream
#

GIVE command disabled game wide until next auction

verbal flare
#

No silver trading until next sunday

young salmon
silver imp
#

This will likely all be pushed into RoL.

static wave
#

😦

native basalt
silver cape
#

ooof

robust agate
young salmon
#

when are you thinking for that?

static wave
#

preserve the buyer list

shut fern
#

Will you keep the 1 a piece rule then?

silver imp
#

We don't have a time.

silver cape
#

thats something.....

young salmon
#

gonna be in London the weekend of the 22nd

odd root
#

can the buyer list be persevered?

gaunt ice
#

If you re-start it back up tonight Wyrom. Might want to remove the item that's currently on the table before hand.

placid otter
#

also, that means that you'll have around... 9 hours? of auction content

nova haven
#

For these items only the buyer list should be preserved probably

crisp vector
#

doesn't sound like it's starting up again tonight

nova haven
#

but not for the rest of the April auction items

silver imp
#

Let me see if I can pull the items.

silver cape
#

this system doesnt seem to be overly amazing we've had like what one run where it hasnt gone off the rails?

radiant ginkgo
keen kelp
#

giantphang, what were you doing around 12am est

weary gazelle
#

Folks, give us just a few minutes to regroup.

hushed hazel
#

rummage ftw

young salmon
radiant ginkgo
#

its been fairly smooth once it got started until now

timid aurora
#

Preserving buyer list kinda irrelevant given they can't freeze silvers till ROL. 😛

polar veldt
#

I just put some nuggets in the air fryer

nova haven
radiant ginkgo
gaunt ice
#

the dress and the chain armor went for a steal due to the auctioneer screwing up.

gaunt prairie
#

Yes, the one-per-account auction should stay one-per-account when it retreads; we know who won what so far.

weary gazelle
#

You know we don't want you guys to be unhappy, but when something's working perfectly and then it stops functioning after a bunch of items, we're put on our back foot.

fringe elbow
#

Getchu some nugs, king

brazen pawn
#

I'm having a great time. Should always be something memorable happen at these. I feel bad for the GMs but really this is no big deal to have to delay.

silver cape
lethal harbor
#

What is going to happen with the items that went out under buggy conditions at the end?

keen sedge
#

technical difficulties aside - I had fun, cool items, looking forward to more

humble coral
dusky star
#

i'd rather wait, even if it's 2 hours. i set aside tonight anyway but April and RoL i probaly won't be able to make...

gaunt prairie
#

I have had a great time with it so far -- the items are a good mix, the properties are great, and the speed of things when they go right is perfect.

polar veldt
#

I'll say tho. I should not eat these nuggets.

amber delta
#

just call it and figure somthing out later

polar veldt
#

It's too late and I am too old.. But damnit. I decided to do it.

drowsy warren
green saffron
#

I'm hoping that, if things get pushed from this auction to the RoL auction, please make the RoL auction 1/account, like this auction was.

silver cape
#

thats the dream

timid aurora
#

I'm down to wait but there's GMs that prolly have lives and whatnot. I'm sure it's late for them.

radiant ginkgo
#

i think if wyrom gives us all 4x RPA's and call it a night, we all win

hollow elm
#

Some of us held off strategically to get deals at the end

round sleet
#

Do the GIFTBOXES come with starbucks credit?

brazen pawn
#

There's been some really great items shared so far.

placid otter
#

there are some of us still hoping to gnab something under the rules though, given there's still good stuff on the list etc.

nimble bolt
dusky star
#

keep the RPA, there's things i wnted to bid on

hollow elm
#

^^

radiant ginkgo
#

what's highlights of the stuff left

keen sedge
#

time sword

dusky star
#

look, i don't even care if you just let us bid on them and then get them to us later.

nova haven
#

Time sword, some more properties, the auction still

keen sedge
#

and perhaps AS monster flesh

silver imp
#

We're still looking at the causes, there's a lot going on though.

placid otter
#

yeah, few keystone items

nova haven
#

some stuff I'm probably forgetting

rugged wolf
#

Broken by a gown...

dusky star
#

'like just put it up as "this thing is what you'll get when we can get it out of the auction house"

keen sedge
#

scarab looked coool

dusky star
#

or send it to our mailboxes

granite bluff
placid otter
#

I'm willing to be undertanding, but also hoping there's still some chance to salvage it

rugged wolf
#

just give us all ice gowns and we'll call it even. 😉

loud echo
crisp vector
#

Just want to re-iterate the request to consider Saturday rather than Sunday for the next one of these.

round sleet
#

Wyrom said as much

sage tundra
#

ultimately time is to blame

green bear
#

We're going to try to find the most equitable solution possible

green saffron
#

Gnomish recon harness, tintinbar, temp home key, cigar humidor, more ice gowns, more Nereid's Cradle, ghez claid, auction alcohol still...

#

just to name a few

storm echo
#

Also, maybe hold it during the middle of the day like the last one... Though please don't do another 9 hour auction - streaming that last time was... wow, kinda crazy of me.

green bear
#

I'm sure it won't be perfect or make everyone happy, but we are aware of the concerns, etc. and we're going to work hard on ensuring the solution is as equitable as possible

desert pilot
#

I'd suggest running a saturday and sunday auction at RoL. Make the saturday the rest of the items from today with the 1 item per limit in place, and make sunday what was already planned for RoL. There won't be a way to stop silver moving unfortunately but it is what it is

verbal flare
#

so we're done for tonight and can disperse right?

hollow elm
#

No

placid otter
#

<-- waiting for formal dismissal

vernal bough
#

Over 30... likely.

like i said, you have the list. just manual it, take the silvers and send them to people's mailboxes.

round sleet
#

Wyrom said no manual

radiant ginkgo
#

can you give us an RPA as a going present? 😄

gaunt prairie
silver imp
#

We have two instances going at once.

mental pier

I like the mail idea, even if you can't access them you can just tell us what they are , we bid you keep a list and mail them to us

clear smelt
#

oh nvm that is too many

amber delta

coming up on 6 hrs

silver imp
#

Manual and one person don't really work well.

nova haven
#

There's two instances broken, 30+ items... it'd be rough

silver imp
#

Plus a few items sold too quick at the end there.

mental light
#

both instances are broken?

vital galleon

going to lead to more mistakes if it is forced

young salmon

Plus it's 1:30am for some folks

silver imp

How about we do the rest of the items on the play.net forums before they get retired. A beautiful farewell

And the GMs have been working nonstop on this for days. I vote we give them break

some one was asking me on that earlier

There are more than half

I need a crack at the second nail press lol

Didn't think I'd get anything here, but was and am willing to sit til the bitter end to see if anything can be snagged. That said, trust the GMs will figure something out. My vote being, I'll sit right here.

We didn’t do half.

Just realized the naginata wasn't even up tonight. Sheesh, i'm dense.

Okay. So we can do a few things here.

We can reschedule for next week. Everything will be saved as is. The only issue is I can't keep the passing silver rule live that long.

We can reschedule for around RoL. Same deal. There would be two auctions during RoL still.

We manually sell a few of the remaining items in both instances and plop the rest into the RoL auction which is the free for all.

The problem with 1 is that any accounts that already won tonight essentially get a free pass to win again next week because those people could just move their remaining silvers to a different account and bid. There's no way to guard against it, unless you somehow captured people's remaining silvers as of midnight tonight. Just saying, that's the problem.

You could limit the "continuation" to a snapshot of who is in the room & what silver they have to be maximally fair if a continuation is not in the cards.

What am I misunderstanding about the gold-flecked translucent artifact, which I won at the auction? Infusing it with 1818 necro points (2000/1.1=1818 points) increases my suffused necrotic energy balance by 1 point, but my total necrotic energy remains the same. I expected my total necrotic energy to decrease by 1818 points. In other words, it seems to create suffused energy at no cost.

Silver passing is less of an issue than just limiting to a single win at the event. If somebody really wants to game the system by passing their silvers over to an alt, they probably could've done it regardless.

Any other auction is just alt character auctions

placid otter
#

but yeah, I kinda agree that "all options suck" but just 3 right now seems like the worst option

cerulean eagle
#

taking a snapshot of who's here doesn't mean you have their alts and their second accounts etc and everybody else that couldn't make it here tonight that can suddenly "get richer" over the course of the week to get those 1 item / 1 account auction items. doing 3 is the most logical because it continues tonight as is and putting the rest on the table for the much less restricted. If you keep the limited list, and make it a seperate auction in the week, you're slapping everybody that came tonight and won as well as slapping the people in the face that lost b/c during this week they could have gotten the extra silvers to try to win something they wanted.

rustic swallow

in future auctions can we go back the old way of multiple rooms stuff are sold in? That way if we've got something fails on this the whole thing doesn't come crashing down for some hours or the night has to be postponed?

I'd infinitely rather risk having a couple of people try to steal a second win next week than just dump everything into the free-for-all. 🤷 I don't really care if we can't keep the same list or prevent silvers passing.

moving it to ROL would probably create a larger silver drain. i like that

who cares - it's just a reality we have to deal with b/c it broke - if some people get to spend more silvers on more stuff it's not ideal but it's not the end of the world

# keen cove doesn't seem like a good tradeoff to throw away the restrictions just to get 3 m...

And yet it's more fair than letting people collect more silvers and the people that won something already are SOL.. same with those that lost b/c they didn't have enough for something they want or perhaps realize how much more they need and so take this week/whatever time to get more silvers and break the silver rule of tonight. The only other option would be Option 4. Second Limited Auction and let people that won prior to be able to bid again because people can (and they will) get more silvers during this week to get more silvers to get an item.

I recognize that this is unenviable position and that when coding some outcomes cannot be planned for or predicted. However, knowing how problematic this system has been in the past I'm disappointed that there wasn't a contingency in place for something/anything going wrong or off track.

This auction was originally an end of the year auction, then a January auction, then a March auction, then a double auction. And yet we still had coding happening at the 11th hour, we had rules that were adjusted and altered in the few days leading up to it. I'm not sure why it has to feel so fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants when this was a planned thing for months.

Despite the frustrations, I do want to thank the GMs for their hard work tonight. As rough as a night as many of us were having, I'm sure yours was far, far worse. Your efforts are appreciated and I hope you guys get some rest tonight. You do deserve it. ❤️

Giving silvers is temporarily disabled during the Grand Auction. This utility will return shortly.
Can we get back to our regular programming?

All the items that already sold should be re-auctioned imo. There are items that I, and others, did not bid on because we only had one shot. Now that we have rescheduled, people can move silvers around and those of us who were waiting for an item will be at a disadvantage. I'd have gladly paid more than 100M for the wand harness for example but I only had one shot and didn't bring 10 accounts with 500M silvers each.

There is no fair option -GS motto

There is a fair option. Take a snapshot of the current environment and replicate it next week.

Now people can pass around silvers to new alts. They were locked in with what they brought on who they brought it on.

Thats way too much work

I get that you’re upset, but there are other perspectives that have value. It’s a crummy situation.

I will close this thread if we are going to start being nasty to one another.

nova haven

No, but the fear is people will move silvers to their alts now for a 2nd chance - people that already won stuff

And the dogging on Platinum needs to stop, too.

but does it really matter all that much, was there anything in there that important

desert pilot
#

Huge thank you to everyone involved in putting this thing together. There isn't a solution that is gonna be 100% fair for everyone, that's just not how things work all the time when something catastrophic happens. I for one am happy that we still have auctions like this and they haven't been completely replaced by the mania style stuff (which I also love) and look forward to seeing more of them.

We all need to remember that things like this take so many hours of time to put together, and the demands that some mythical solution that is 100% "fair" be found is part of why it's been 7 years since something like this took place. It sucks what happened, but let's keep it moving and look forward to the next thing.

It does seem a recurring issue is testing in the gm environment versus live.

Perhaps leaving a version of the auction house up in plat to test 24/7 with chipped bricks?

well, looks like I'm not getting a chance at the couple of items I was excited about... if this automated auction thing is going to keep being a thing, I hope a back-up plan is developed to for when it breaks so we don't have to wait an hour or more for a far less than ideal solution

Again, I wish we weren't here at 1:22am ET upset about it all. We wanted it to go off without a hitch too. I can't even say it was a QC issue. It was something really minor in the beginning, and then the fix caused a series of events to happen.

nova haven

#

I know it's been said, but I truly do appreciate the efforts that went into creating these items and the attempts to distribute as many of these amazing things as fairly as possible. Distribution will never be perfect, and breakdowns like this will make it even less so, but I appreciate the attempts at equitable solutions and recompense via GIFTBOXes and RPAs. There was a lot to enjoy tonight, and though I didn't walk away with an item, I also don't feel I walked away with nothing.

Bringing alts with silvers to begin with was fair game for everyone, as it has been at every auction

All good Wyrom. Thank you for your and the teams hard work.

Honestly wyrom. It wasn't that bad. It went fairly well once it got started and last 3 hrs. That's quite a bit already well done

It was run last night with 50 items going out perfectly fine. The issues that cropped up were utterly unexpected.

It appears like the auction script itself needs to be simplified and separated so that you don't have all the pieces in one script which is obviously not working.

We do appreciate all the dedicate, thoughtfulness, and willingness to put up with us. Very excited that these silver auctions happen!

Was still fun! And we get to do it again...

sage tundra

In this case the problem was the existence of “midnight” so you would really need alisaire

Why is there a time aspect in the script at all

All it needs to do is get an item, put it up for auction, sell it, and repeat

placid otter
#

I do think the "around 100 million" for the bungalows was a good hit

sand mist
#

those are california prices

verbal flare
#

what is the difference between the medium properties and regular properties, just room counts?

vernal bough
#

That was a pretty good price point for the bungalows, and you know how I'll scream about prices.

granite bluff
#

Yeah I am surprised the bungalows went for what they did

nova haven
#

There probably isn't a time aspect, and some random bit of spaghetti code took it out

verbal flare
#

someone paid 200m to live in zul

placid otter
#

Room counts, cookie cutter description, no special features to start

sage tundra
#

I assume with no real information that the auction script is doing a time subtraction to know how long has passed before the auction should close

languid compass
nova wagon
verbal flare
#

there's noone in zul ever you can just RP the entire place as your own personal house

It looked like it switched to a reverse auction style at some point.

Which also doesn't need to be in the same script as a straight auction.

And yes fewer rooms.

#

The Bungalows do not have trash cans, nodes, or food. Every bungalow is identical. They do come with slips that let you customize them, through merchants, and they are only 3 rooms.

stuck walrus
#

It's interesting to see how much the prefab properties went for. The last private property I recall being auctioned off for silvers was in the Landing and it went for about 130m. But that was a few years ago.

verbal flare
#

oh no nodes

stuck walrus
#

No nodes, but you can probably buy a node later.

languid compass
#

so bungalows are kinda like track housing

vernal bough
placid otter
#

It's clear they're expanding the property upgrades that you can solve that before long. Or just 418 the room

stuck walrus
#

The customization aspect on those bungalows is the best part.

verbal flare
#

can you buy tele keys for these properties?

leaden sonnet
#

there is some shop coming later iirc

distant bone
#

If you get to a property shop.

stuck walrus
#

You can buy all the fixings for private properties on those things.

placid otter
#

Overall it's the right long term approach to properties in my book

verbal flare
#

properties need supernodes, otherwise why would you ever want to go there

stuck walrus
#

Agreed, but I bet redeeming those slips is going to take a lot of manpower. Probably less manpower than designing 15 unique items for 20 properties.

verbal flare
#

i mean spend time there

It was a trial. It was also a lot of work. I don't want to make promises I can't fulfill.

hollow elm
#

I think it was super creative.

distant bone
#

If/when more get released, it will be a surprise.

stuck walrus
#

I like that they come bare because it reduces the initial cost.

vernal bough
#

Yeah, even if it's not a node, sometimes I want my own customized bit of space to just be alone. I don't use my premie home as much because it is frustratingly non-customizable.

placid otter
#

It also doesn't exist without the owner, which is super logistic problem

distant bone
#

What doesn't exist without the owner?

i'm glad my noded home with integrated teleporter came built in with 220

Several of those bungalow vouchers went down the chute in Plat. It was sad.

sage tundra
#

It sounds like it had some…bugs in it

vernal bough
#

Yeah, I get one of those, I won't even care so much about the big fancy ones. I don't need or want a workshop or a node.

sage tundra
#

get it

gaunt prairie
#

I love the idea of them and what I've seen of them. Would love to know too if the customization vouchers for them are for full customization of those elements or if they're like the wedding-book customizations, allowing you to change out aspects of the customizable prop within a range rather than with GM intervention?

distant bone
#

It is a slip that you can either a) bring to a merchant or b) give to sadie.

#

You whisper the changes you want made on it, the GM approves it, and then you use it.

#

So...

stuck walrus
#

ohhh, not a delayed service

distant bone
#

You WAVE your slip at the item (say a couch) and attune the item to the slip.

nova haven
#

Oooh I thought you could just like submit those

distant bone
#

Then you WHISPER slip base (a new,fancy,couch).

stuck walrus
#

If those slips made their way to the property shop, I'd buy some.

distant bone
#

Then you whisper slip SHOW (Man, this couch is the best <-- this is illegal do not do this).

#

Then you bring the slip to a GM

#

They review it, mark it approved.

#

Or make appropriate QC changes.

#

then you POINT the slip at the attuned item

#

And boom, Bob's your uncle, its updated.

If this wasn't the DEV instance, I'd check to see if this was 1) a private property and 2) yours! But, since it is, I'm bypassing these checks so you can test.
