Musings on Bazaars and Telewhores...

[Urat]

Wouldn't it be nice if we made whitegate like Ru'lude gardens?

Heres what I think would work... what if we start moving the bazaar people in batallia to the chocobo circuit, as well as telewhores and peopel sellign stuff in shout.

Think about it, suddenly the people in, say windurst, that need a tele, dont need to run to whitegateto get a tele due to lack of telewhores in the three nations.

You cna get to the chcobo circuit from any city, and you dont need to go there for anything important, ie quests, AH, stuff like that.

It'd dramaitcly lower whitegate's lag, you wouldnt need to travel far at all to get to the bazaar people (batallia), everyone would get a lot more peace and quiet in all the cities.

No taxes. More telewhoring all around, less whitegate lag, peace and quiet, a LOT less runnign to get around, easy accesability... Can get there with a level 1 mule... whats there to lose?

You can't even complain about having to move your mule from batallia, cause the entrance to the circuit in jueno is 5 feet into upper jueno, right beside batallia XD

Hmm, scratch that.

It appears at soem point in time over the last coupel months, SE has put a tax in the circuit.

I know it wasnt always like this 'cause I used to bazaar my chococards in there, and there wanst a tax on them.

Still, that doesnt rule out telewhoring and shouting...

 

[Sketchzter]

I dont think its possible to bazaar items in the Chocobo Circuit... Atleast I couldve sworn thats what the lady at the counter said. But the idea of using that as an overall place to teleport around is actually really good imo. It'd be cool if they implemented AH in there that could only be used if you actively participated in Chocobo betting and races. It would give people a reason to actually use it, just like ZNM gave a reason for people to use Pankration.

 

[Euphacent]

I've never even stepped foot inside that place.

 

[Urat]

Yeah you can bazaar stuff there, it's where I used to sell chococards...

Anywho, some other things I've been musing on...

When are we gonan start partying more in the past? Like the place has soem very sweet spots...

Take Vunkerl Inlet for example. Robber crabs right at the spot you warp to. No other mobs to avoid, ltos to pull, probably good exp...

From what I've seen there are a couple races, like gnoles, that give an exp boost when you kill them. On top of that, the allied sigil is intense.

Has anyone here tried out the 100 AN lose less exp when you die add on to allied sigil? Holy crap. It cuts it in like, 1/5th. Instead of losing 1K exp, I lost like, 200. This would be really nic ein parties in the 70s. Imagien losing a 5th of the exp when you die?

I dunno, I'd like to be invited to soem past parties, try new mobs out... Meh

Sit em in Wajoam Woodlands. There's a safe zone, about 25 steps from the Whitegate MH. No tax, no congestion.

ive done 2-3 meripos in Beadeaux (S), when aht Urghan was full, its good exp. But aht urghan is better!

Chocobo Circuit has always had the 10% tax rate on bazaaring.

Personally, I think that SE should implement a quest or some sort of requirement that allows the diligent player to use the Circuit for quick access to all the cities without having to run around all willy-nilly.

I don't see how that would wreck game balance. Make it a Rank 10 + Captain + some sort of chocobo raising/racing requirement and you've avoided making airships and current methods of transportation obsolete.

They should make the jocky equipment available and have it be added to that.

 

[Urat]

It's coming. It's in the .dats...

Rumours are it's gonna be either next or the next next update...

Prolly gonna need to have wrapped all of hot and cold and all racing... oh hey... XD

 

[Morari]

It's coming. It's in the .dats...

Oh really? I suppose it's in the dialogue tables of Chocobo Circuit?

There are a lot of cool "leftovers" and stuff in the dats. Several areas have dialog about a "Planar collapse" that's been in there since at least CoP. Oh and the Pankymon dats have information on a future 3vs3 monster fights as well as all these cool variations on the feral abilities (like being able to make your monster physically smaller to increase evasion etc).

This next update had better be stellar though. If the fanfest is built around an update rather than an expansion, then that update had better be epic.

I had a really decent one in Castle Oztroja , only problem was the mobs were fairly spread out so it was impossible to keep a constant chain, but we were still able to make 20k~ /hr so it's definatly somewhere i'd go again (admitedly only if Mamools are full)

as a matter of fact, one of the npc's told me, upon wrapping HaC, that if I kept it up, maybe I'd get a VCS coat of my own =o
