# inland lagoon So we can search affixes by tiers and items by keywords

Is that you main concern? I still hate the fact that ever since they added that Ugly "List Item" button in the middle of the screen, they also added an invisible "no click zone" over 90% of the Bazaar UI, meaning you can't have your inv open and search for stuff at the same time. And even when you find stuff, that damn button gets in the way of text.

Ive decided to just stopped the game because of how frustrating it is to navigate MG, and switching to CoF just bricks my character now. MG just feels like a poorly designed afterthought added in to the game, especially compared to CoF

Regarding MG.
The gold is 2 inflated so ppl has stopped listing some items that they think are worth more than 1.5b which is the cap. So to buy some items u need to search in discords which i think is a testiment to a broken system. Any plans on adjusting it somehow?

ancient cradle
#

I mean since the gold cap on items on the market is 1.5b, its obviously not intended for items to be ''worth'' more then that? Maybe another gold sink like a market fee of 10-15% like WoW did (which a friend said, so not my idea but seemed pretty solid imo).

pastel marlin
#

Items are worth what people will pay for them. A lot of it is inflation due to a lack of meaningful gold sinks + massive gold generation through regular gameplay coupled with the overarching community figuring out the worth of some items

#

There’s plenty of items that are worth well into the billions, I suspect the 1.5b cap is a technical limitation because it seems like an odd spot to cap it off at arbitrarily

#

Like, going off of current RMT prices for gold something like a 4lp red ring (arguably would be the rarest and most expensive item in the entire game, none have ever existed in the 4 years the game has been out) would be in the territory of “don’t even try to sell this for gold, RMT it for the price of a used Toyota Camry.”

#

so the engine only allows 2,1b? xD

fresh plover
#

as alot of other games

#

like in poe1 dot damage per minute is capped by the same number

#

32 bit engine: 2^32 = 4,294,967,296. So that means a 32 bit integer can be any integer between 0 and 4,294,967,295. Unless you want to be able to use negative numbers, in which case you split it down the middle, and you get any integer between -2,147,483,648 and 2,147,483,647

humble burrow
#

2,1b is like nothing tho i could buy 1 lp2 prismatic gaze with it on 4% like either they need to change the engine or maybe whats prob more important is finally add gold burners since soon everything is on 1,5b

fresh plover
#

its nothing cause we had huge inflation due ro seveal reasons lol, if devs took care of some things we wouldnt be in such situation, but tbh they should just cut all gold drops 10 times and the issue would be solved

#

or add taxes on market

humble burrow
#

make taxes, cut gold drops, make that u can at least sell legendarys that u buy mats from market from so unique and exalted and be able to sell it again like how in the world will u ever buy a good legendary from market place

#

If you got an item like that I don’t think a single person would blame you for rmt’ing it honestly

#

The rarest csgo skin in that game sold for 2.5 million

#

I don’t think they need to touch the caps though, they just need to introduce more aggressive gold sinks. A tax on the market of like 10%, a listing tax of 1%, 7 day limit on postings, maybe buff lightless arbor a little bit to make it more appealing to run. Maybe even a second gold sink dungeon

Maybe a gold cost for crafting

basically, having played on both, I think CoF is easier to gear on start cause you dont have to wait on higher ranks to access LP and exalted items, mg is punishing at start but if you can get it going feels more rewarding. you can sell good items that you dont need (but you gotta have a general knowledge if something is good for selling etc, what builds are hyped now etc) and it also allows you access to endgame big items faster. like I sold a scales of eterra for 400m which helped me buy another item that I really needed for my build.

thick shore
#

anyone have a good MG filter and can help me know how to set it up with my class filter (shadow daggers bladedancer)

signal isle
#

I think that CoF is for people that like making alts. Its easier on MG to gear high-end char, but harder to rotate between many alts.

bronze acorn
#

Do alts share the same lvl as your Main with the Merchants guild or do they start from lvl 1 ?

split wave
bronze acorn
#

Awesome thank you

subtle falcon
#

MG = you farm items for yourself / alts / to sell, when you sell, that gold goes into one pool that can be used on any char

#

when you make a new alt, you throw a few mil at the gear and are ready to push to 500+ corruption immediately

#

whereas with COF you will spend tens of hours farming the same equivalent gear that is pretty damn cheap on MG

#

if anything, CoF is the alt-unfriendly faction

#

if you want to make it alt-friendly, you essentially use a MG filter while playing CoF in order to collect strong pieces for all the meta builds in advance, in case you decide to play them later

#

and let's not gets started on getting uniques with 2LP+. In MG they are usually very expensive, but you can farm the gold easily (if you know what you are doing you can easily farm 500m a day with MG)

#

with CoF you straight up cannot farm 2LP+ items reliably, and if they drop, they can be bad rolls

split wave
#

MG punishes you for not always playing your most powerful character, while CF pushes you to create new characters (for example, you might find a super BiS item for a build you aren't running, which in MG you'd just sell, while in CF it encourages you make that build).

MG punishes you for not always playing your most powerful character,
how? from perspective of gold farming, sure. But MG allows your otehr chars to become your "most powerful" char significantly faster, ie. just buy items.

while CF pushes you to create new characters
yes, exactly. Honestly I think CoF is much better designed, except how alt-unfriendly it is (... and they need to change rank 9 to be target-farming uniques)

split wave
mild forge
subtle falcon
#

^

split wave
#

Almost, but not exactly. Depends on what you're farming - like for exalts you should be farming on at least the class for the thing you want.

#

in CF

#

or idols

subtle falcon
#

so you put aside all the good items for meta builds

#

in case you make an alt down the road

#

also, MG farms exalted at a way faster pace with arbor. CoF simply cannot afford to throw 5m at arbor chests per run, but MG can, because those 5m chests turns into 25-500m profits consistently.

split wave
#

No you don't use an MG item filter, you just look at high LP drops or stuff that you'd be open to playing

subtle falcon
#

and you can do like 300 exalted items/run (under 10 mins). Prophecies cannot really beat that.

subtle falcon
split wave
#

It's not about what's meta

mild forge
#

I mean they both have the pros and cons for sure (spending time in market searching prices etc or going through loot explosions or rerolling prophecies)

the problem is MG is infected with RMT which screw the whole idea, while cof is clearly "what you see is what you get"

subtle falcon
# split wave It's not about what's meta

if you only filter class specific items, with CF, and you get a fat unique for other build, then you will spend up to tens of hours farming a good exalted to slam into it

#

whereas if you just use an MG filter and put all good exalteds aside, you might have one ready

#

a good MG filter makes you loot like 1 out of 100 exalteds anyway, they won't take too much space 😄

split wave
#

At first you were arguing that CF was the better faction for gearing high-end characters, now it just seems like you're arguing that CF is always the worst? This is going nowhere

subtle falcon
subtle falcon
#

but overall MG is better, because being able to buy/sell items will pretty much always be better

#

even with the horrendous UI

#

well, better is subjective, depends on what your goal is obviously.

mild forge
#

I'm wondering what would happen if you could resell MG gear

split wave
#

You've said multiple things, so at this point I'm just confused lol

subtle falcon
#

min max a char? be flexible when it comes to alts? have something to do at the high end corruption other than pushing it (ie. farm items to sell)? = mg wins

play solo & maybe have more satisfaction from farming the items yourself etc? = CoF wins

If they let people re-trade, they can pull some levers on stuff like increase favor cost to list already traded items or consume a % of gold spent in the market with a "tax" to help slow the market or inflation

subtle falcon
# split wave If they let people re-trade, they can pull some levers on stuff like increase fa...

the game definitely needs a (hefty) tax, but I'm convinced there is a dupe method right now, and there are bots that do nothing all game except generate infinite gold from it.

Ie. my friend who has unstable connection and often has packet loss/10s lags can often pick up an item from the ground, it would go into his inventory, but the item is still on the ground, and he can pick it up again... and again. He can also often forge T1->T5 while lagged for 0 FP cost... I cannot imagine what people do that go out of their way to abuse these sorts of things.

Imagine you do an echo that rewards high gold/item to vendor, and you run all day between pick up -> vendor -> pick up -> vendor...

#

so in my opinion it's premature to introduce gold sinks and whatnot, before these sorts of things get fixed

subtle falcon
#

so at some point, soon, we will hit a point where half the good items are listed for 1.5b and there is no way to sell the truly exceptional items which should, in comparison, cost 10b

just like when WoW had a gold cap of 214k and some items were valued at 500k etc

What? True dupe bugs are always like #2 on priority behind literally unplayability stuff

yes, in an mmorpg. But this game is ARPG. Look at it from this perspective:

  • most players from my understanding play CoF, but let's say it's 50/50
  • out of 50% of players, only a few % make it high enough into corruption where the top end gear matters, let's say 5%
  • out of the 2.5% of players, ie. MG only, only a handful would get negatively affected by duping. In essence duping causes deflation, ie. more items on market = higher supply with same demand = price goes down. But we see inflation, that means it's not just used for duping, but to generate gold (ie. vendor items over and over).
split wave
#

It's definitely possible that dupes etc. exist that are unknown, but I think people just underestimate what bots and human farms are capable of

subtle falcon
split wave
subtle falcon
#

the only competitive metric we have in this ARPG are arena runs. How many people care about them? Considering that you need to invest like 10 hours into a single arena run to push high enough waves?

#

don't get me wrong, I agree, it needs to be fixed

#

but it's something that in reality affects a very small % of the playerbase

honest cave

#

Yeah sure. Or you're just giga lucky

subtle falcon
#

#

what mods are you picking?

#

you can consistently hit 300+ exlated items/run if you pick the right mods

#

but if you don't pikc the right mods, it's easy to mess it up and hit only 70 exlated/run

#

not to mention idols... you can hit like 600 idols or something per run 😄

#

and some idols go for 100m+ easily these days

#

if you are not sitting at a gold cap, 2^31-1, while having at least another gold cap in sold items that you cannot redeem, then you are doing arbor wrong 😄

25 runs I did with targeting duplicating uniqs. Other 25 I targeted on exalteds

inflation causes items to get more expensive

2LP items will be 1.5b

and only certain meta items even remotely hit tyhat much

plenty of 4lps that are dirt cheap

4lp liaths ( which is great for fireball sorc ) only cost me like 40m?

you are... avoiding the question.

that's a limitation of an int(eger) in most systems

I mean, we know why not, but it's not an unreasonable thing to do...

#

what made me always wonder is why all the games use signed int... it's not like we can have negative gold

#

I mean, wouldn't help much, would be simply 2^32-1 instead of 2^31-1, so cap would be 4.3b instead of 2.1b

but still... why? 😄

maybe limitation of the game engine/db system they use, not sure

pastel marlin

they could just yoink runescapes solution to the int limit where they made platinum tokens that can be purchased at the bank for i think its 1:10,000 gold

yep, but well... if it becomes really problematic then inflation sources should be investigated first, because it's not realistic to hit this sort of inflation if all the systems work correctly - especially in a game with seasons where the whole economy restarts from scratch

I'd say once they fix all the dupes/exploits for gold generation, introduce proper gold sinks (at least 5-10% fee from selling on market), and being able to re-sell items (ie. you use item, get upgrade, sell old item back = items become cheaper overall)... it might just not be needed to go over the 2.1b cap

#

ie, don't optimise prematurely 😄

fierce river
#

Is the market super inflated or is it just a noob perspective? I'm looking at my 2lp pieces for my build, and all of them are at around 400million gold. There's no way I can farm that much gold, I feel like CoF at least gives me a chance to be lucky.

Has anyone swapped from one to another, and how do you make the transition smooth?

int is still the default data type to use for stuff

why not use a long? because the devs never intended for inflation to be so insane, probably

COF is just about putting the lenses for what you want, reroll, get say, dagger prophecies, and forget about it until you have favor again.

  2. People often go for 2-3LP items when in reality often it's only 1 affix that really matters, and it's way cheaper to throw a few 1LP/exlats together for that 1x affix, than go after 2-3 LP. Eg for mages it's mostly always just the T7 int that matters, the rest is nice, but int is like 10x stronger.

Well my idea was get to rank 10, get all the items i need, and then shift back to COF

#

then even if I go back to MG I am still rank 10

f**k oh no, what could the stars mean 👀

#

THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!

lunar belfry
#

that is true, minors arent even supposed to use the internet!

subtle falcon
#

anyway, objectively speaking MG is better if your goal is pushing endgame and minmaxing, simply beacuse you pool items into a massive pool where everyone else pools their items, and can take advantage of it

but CF is better designed, imo, and I'd suggest to go CF on your first char.

lunar belfry
#

yeah, i have two but I went back to COF on what I consider my main, im alrdy 6 so thats cool.

#

those greater lenses to stop u from getting certain prophecies r the way to go right?

subtle falcon
#

But my advice is to only pick prophecies that get completed on stuff you are about to do. Eg don't pick arena and go out of your way to do prophecies there. Better reroll more...

yeah ive done that before and regretted it

#

No one is making 25M per run lol he cappin

pastel marlin
#

It’s not a flat amount per run

#

You’re looking to rng your way into duplicating valuable uniques and exalteds

honest cave
#

It's rng. You can get 50ish T7 exalteds per run and make 10 billion out of those items. Or you can make 0 gold

pastel marlin
#

All it takes is one run where you get duplicate and triplicate rolls on your chests and then you drop a valuable t7 and you make like 400mil off one run

dry halo
#

So it is the gold sink

pastel marlin
#

You don’t sink that much gold on it though

#

Few million per run at most

#

Which is nothing

dry halo
#

few million lol

#

I'm down to 4 million total

honest cave
#

Around 4-5 per run

So you’re broke broke

I tried doing vault twice, died on stupid 1 hit kills(like 5k+ dmg) and gave up, dunno maybe i should give it another try. Its just so stupid that u have to waist so much time if u died.
Even though im flying through 800 corruption rn😭

subtle falcon
#

it's pointless to argue this becuase people don't understand waht mods to pick so they end up having runs with 50 exalteds instead of 300

dry halo
#

so which mods should I pick? Does order matter?

subtle falcon
pastel marlin
#

That’s why I always say if you struggle to make gold it’s not the game, you just aren’t good at making money yet. But you’ll get there. Everyone is new at some point

fierce river
pastel marlin
#

People like to blame anything else for it. “Dupes, inflation..” etc

dry halo
#

farm items and sell them. Everyone knows what to do, the question is how to best do it

subtle falcon
#

put some work into researching what mods are available, do some math on which ones you should pick to maximise rewards, and you are good to go. Dont' randomly click like a goofus.

I got a spreadsheet where I input what mods I picked already (you can pick 10 in total), so I know what others I need to look for. Even if I have to spend 10m on that last mod, I'll click through the options till I hit it

obtuse pendant
#

Sorry to repost but I had a quick question: is there a search bar in the bazaar interface I am not seeing? Or is search only through the dropdown filters? Any help much appreciated

dry halo
#

So the goal is to get a ton of exalted and uniques. Should I bother with idols/glyphs?

subtle falcon
pastel marlin
#

Idols are insane

frosty bear
#

What would you say are the top vault modifiers out of all of them should i pick?
More chests or more exalted/dupe?

dry halo
#

listing idols is such a pain though lol

subtle falcon
#

the system is broken because items don't expire

#

I often sell items I posted 2 weeks ago

pastel marlin
#

Yeah, patiently waiting on the market rework

honest cave
#

Kek. You make it sound like it's like brain surgery to pick the right mods. You basically pick one "Add chest with exalteds". Then you pick more exalteds on that one random chest. Then you duplicate and triplicate that specific chest and get 6 chest in total. Toss in a "Get 45% more items" 2 times and 50% chances to duplicate the items in the chest. You will end up getting your so called 300 exalteds. And in the end it's still rng.

subtle falcon
pastel marlin
#

Needs a tax, posting fees, item expiration, a single interface, better search functionality

subtle falcon
#

and yes, this will, on average, net you way more gold than you invested. For me it's roughly 10x

honest cave
#

Oh yeah, forgot that one

#

Maybe I just had giga bad luck y-day when I blasted 25 runs targeting on exalteds

dry halo
#

Here we go, time to turn my 4M into 40M or 0

honest cave
#

Just gotta hit that one item once to net 500m

subtle falcon
#

you need at least 3x 45/30% though, 2x is not enough

subtle falcon
#

I spend 8m on average to get the right mods

#

I mean, go for it, but maths is not on your side 😄

dry halo
#

math was good. Spent about 3M Got a bunch of duplicate and triplicates

subtle falcon
#

sometimes it takes me 2m to hit the right mods, sometimes 20m 🤷‍♂️

#

average is around 8m

dry halo
#

i just got 3 FC relics lol

drowsy bear
#

I don’t even bother with idols because there’s 600 pages of them for each affix and you can’t sort by <>=

pastel marlin
#

Lucky

subtle falcon
#

cuz most don't bother, and plenty of them are 100m+

#

just need proper filters

drowsy bear
#

Filters are hell for them too

pastel marlin
#

I wish they would just give us a proper API so the community can solve all the issues 😂

pastel marlin
#

I miss being able to hit control D and have a pop up come up with a price check in real time in POE

dry halo

price check would be amazing

#

having any info on what is sold would be infinitely better than what is listed

drowsy bear

And search settings not clearing everytime I open my inventory to double check an item lmao. Have to screen shot my item and have it open on another screen

Just wanna say. MG is great for trying out jank builds. Geared out ghostflame lich on a 10m budget. Half of which was spent on idols.

Mostly 0 gold LP1-2 items lol.

I just started MG yesterday and after 1 day I would say this entire design is awful and needs a complete rehaul especially idols. I'm glad I started on COF lol

Well i like the design but im not sure what they can do to combat the huge inflation of prices - again assuming its RMT related

fresh plover

Fixing duping would be step one and banning botters will be step 2, they are doing it already

deep hamlet
#

bots are rather sophisticated now and days - im shocked that bots are already a problem, and I did see finially catch duped items in market

fresh plover
#

Its a problem only because we had gold duping bugs so bots literally stood at npc earning millions per hour

fresh plover
#

Item duping has no effect on inflation, its just more items on the market

crystal tulip
#

Yeah not being able to narrow down searches make it an absolute pain especially for idols. Not being able to control the tier for each affix during search is another major oof. Also being able to search for certain level / skill ranges on items.

#

On GG items its not too bad cause theres not many but when you're starting off going through 100 pages of LP 0 / 1 items was frustrating

#

Hard to find a good sell / buy price

don’t sell yourself short, 1.5B or bust

ok thank you

It’s worth more than 1.5b

Go to trade discords and take offers in the form of gold + items if you want to actually get full value out of it

#

Or just take gold cap (2.147bil)

pastel marlin
#

Either have more accounts to hold more gold, or do what I said above, items + gold since it’s worth more than gold cap

#

Unless there’s a bunch of others on the market for 1.5b, but I doubt that. 4lp peak and 4lp jungle potion is so rare

#

Jungle potions worth a lot more but 4lp peak is still for sure worth more than gold cap

there is a gold cap in the game??

Yeah it’s 2.147billion. It’s the highest value that can exist on a 32bit system. It’s a tech limitation thing

dude, i'm developer -- unless there's something a timeline in the database, doing rollbacks from logs is not easy

Especialyl for a game where all data is saved server side

Ever wonder why most of the dupes dont actually take?

Its because all that data is server side, no client side.

pearl walrus

that's not the same thing. It's client side sync issues

It shows that they have all the neeed data / logs to be able to do rollbacks

hardy lance
low prawn
#

With the smaller scale of the game, and active player base presently, a rollback is trivial

#

if we were talking millions of users needing rolled back, it wouldnt be easy.

Do you know how databases work? Do you know what timeline behavior is at the ORM level? (Assuming they're even using ORMs)?

but no. It's not.

#

doubt its only recent though i assume its been ongoing slowly for a while

pearl walrus
fierce kayak
#

cause the amount of gold/costs of things wouldnt make sense

pearl walrus
#

so droves of people started doing it

low prawn
#

You literally just initiate a rollback to a restorepoint from before the " bug " in question, and its all automated if done correctly.

hardy lance
#

It's not recent -- this gold exploit has been around for a while. One can presume as long as the RMTers have been selling billions of gold

fierce kayak
#

like even at super high corruptions u aint making anywhere near enough grinding 24/7

hardy lance
fierce kayak
#

must have been a thing for a while

woeful ferry
#

A 24 hr. rollback would save the market a least

hardy lance
#

not just the gold cheaters

low prawn
#

Okay and?

hardy lance
#

That's ridiculous

low prawn
#

Rollback is a rollback

#

You roll everything back

hardy lance
pastel fox
#

Some games use dual currency system, legacy currency and current trading currency. everytime they mess up and currency gets duped, they roll all over in legacy and everyone start at 0 with trading currency

low prawn
#

Cant selectively rollback one part of the game, because you cause more headache having to deal with people moaning about how they were given different treatment. Or have peopel tht slip through the cracks

tiny spire
# hardy lance That's ridiculous

what do you suggests the devs do then? Patch it and let it play out so the gold exploiters go unpunished and the market remains scuffed?

hardy lance
pearl walrus
#

so there are several possibilities here:

low prawn
#

So yes, snapshot rollback. Affect everyone.

hardy lance
#

that's why i was wondering if they are using ORMs with timeline behavior

fierce kayak
#

i mean only way is to completely roll back every1 and mess every1 over otherwise its gg either way LOL

delicate notch
#

rollback will affect COF unfortunately.

woeful ferry
#

Patch it and rollback 24 hrs. you'd not impact the gold sellers but you'd save 60-70% of the market at least.

hardy lance
#

if they are - then they will indeed have a decent way of rolling back only those that did the cheat

pearl walrus
#

at the very end of thje day, you have to rollback everyone

fierce kayak
#

cause even legit players will just be listing 1.5bil 1/2lp items and ppl buy

pearl walrus
#

because even if you did a snapshot rollback

#

you'd have to remove the gold that went thru the bazaar

hardy lance
#

dude, i just hit LP3s yesterday after grinding for days on CoF.

#

i'm sure i'm not alone in this

#

rolling back for everyone is gonna be a crap approach

woeful ferry
#

And an entire faction of the game is now useless, which is more important?

low prawn
fierce kayak
#

maybe if they have a way to rollback for every mg

#

LOL

pearl walrus
#

that affects ANYONE that went thru the bazaar

#

ANYTHING

#

even if it was legit

#

you might as well

#

just rip it back 24 hours

#

no joke

#

or at least like.... 12-16 hours

low prawn
pearl walrus
#

oh i thought you were arguing partial

#

my b

#

lol

fierce kayak
#

i mean look

low prawn
#

patch it, and do a pullback ffully atleast 24 hours

fierce kayak
#

look at the urzil's prides in the mg rn

pastel fox
#

By the time they are able to rollout the rollback they are going to need a lot more than 24 hours back in time 🙂

fierce kayak
#

any 3lp urzils enjoyers for 1.,5bil?

hardy lance
#

then they can undo MG players only

woeful ferry
#

I mean its about every 2-3 LP item that any popular build uses sold out or is selling for gold cap. Its dead if they don't rollback

hardy lance
#

if not, then it becomes more problematic.

low prawn
#

I mean, they need to do everyone

#

because there are people with MG alts

hardy lance
#

I disagree

low prawn
#

and you know they abused this to get gold on their account

pastel fox
#

Gold dupes, hyper inflations, all this has happened 100 times in history of games and the world. Plenty of ways to get out of it 🙂

hardy lance
#

Right, with something like continuum they could roll back specific players that are identified as the exploiters

#

and they can go back as long as they want

pearl walrus
#

i am the perfect example of not abusing anything. i posted my Suloron's before i knew the bug existed

low prawn
#

this is why they cannot, and should not "selectively target "

woeful ferry
#

That would take too much time and the damage is already done, the items are gone

pearl walrus
#

once i see a Bil hit my bazaar in 5 mins

#

i found out

hardy lance
#

punishing CoF players again for MG behavior is crap

woeful ferry
#

But there isn't a better solution thats actually plausable

hardy lance
#

I have zero alts, only play CoF

low prawn
#

Again. People have alts. Gold is account wide.

hardy lance
#

i'm certainly not alone in this

low prawn
#

Get over yourself.

pearl walrus
#

cooked take.

#

lmao

granite moss

the market is terrible right now the rune that dupes an item has turned it into a nightmare

wow so glad i went back to COF a week ago when i started noticing the price jump up for everything phew

woeful ferry
#

You literally can

pearl walrus
#

sure ya can. if you have an MG alt

#

or

#

swap to MG

#

do the bug

#

boom

#

so again, cooked take.

hardy lance
#

Like i said, I don't have an alt -- and i know i'm not alone in that

pearl walrus
#

yeah that's fine

#

im just not exusing COF from this for once

hardy lance

Hah

This is half the playerbase

good for you

# pearl walrus I am not trying to be rude or anything here, but......with the word of this flyi...

i have pinged a few devs on a few things today, but since its a holiday weekend...not actually sure who is working / when they are working / if they are working. again, we just handle discord scuffles. i really dont have more information than you guys do

i dont know if this is a "new" dupe, or an old one that got overlooked, or an old one that was fixed and got put back in somehow...i just know whats on the reddit post, like you all

should we hold off playing for now? in case of a roll back. i don't mind playing helldivers 2 ATM. i'm leveling up my runemaster and i don't want to relevel it again

" My software has a software breaking bug that surfaced in the last 24 hours, let me try to isolate the bug on its own and do it that way which prolongs the damage, and then leave the damage in the software instead of rolling back to a restore point after fixing the bug "

woeful ferry
#

You are asserting that prioritizing a single character's 24-hour progress holds greater significance than the collective investment of all MG players thus far. The fundamental essence of MG revolves around trading, a cornerstone that has been rendered obsolete.

Your entire suggestion is literally them shooting themselves in the foot, and goes against every single common practice in codebase.

LMAO

#

you're not a developer

It's going to hose everyone

cause gold is acct wide

plain and simple

hardy lance
pearl walrus

you have to do a rollback.

Honestly if they don't roll the servers back, MG is dead

pearl walrus
#

there's nothing else to argue here

hardy lance
#

Cool story bro

pearl walrus
#

It's wild to me that the only company to embrace doing these types of rollbacks is Jagex

#

and everyone memes on them lmao

tiny spire
hardy lance
#

those that didn't participate (willingly or not) would not be impacted

tiny spire
#

So only CoF players would be unaffected

hardy lance
#

Just to be clear, this bug has been going on for a while. 24 hour rollback wouldn't do crap

woeful ferry
#

It literally would, you don't even understand what happened.

hardy lance
#

I do. I know that everything was sold out in the MG

tiny spire
hardy lance
#

but even before that, people were selling gold

account-wide gold makes it impossible to not affect everyone except for very spesific people who never touched MG

fierce kayak
#

its to a point where doing anything except lightless is a waste of time

woeful ferry
#

Tons of gold is irrelevant. Everything that has been listed for 10+ days at cap has sold.

leaden wharf

#

Rollback is already treating the symptoms but not the cause

tiny spire

disabling the whole bazaar thing until the next cycle is the best solution so they willplay their infinite gold in lightless arbor who cares.

its not related to this shutdown of market

you're talking about making CoF players pay

how about instead MG gets nuked

More than this bug, I'd like to know why action hasn't been taken when the bug was reported over 10 days ago, the principle is simple isn't it

if the cap is 2.14b or whatever, it's literally the trade function not reading that the player is capped and to end the trade w/ nothing traded

that's it

i think this bug has been here for months

and gold sellers stocked more than1k accounts

if they rollback all MG transactions and trades that's fine. jsut gimme back my items. i have 2, 2LP boots that i sold for 70M earlier. now they are worth 1.5b loool

even if they fix it,if they perma ban both the buyers and sellers
