Barter Improvements Chaff

[sabinati]

yeah, you just set price in coins, it's easier

[Jackard]

does it have increased item slots or number of trades? if not i would imagine the flexibility of a barterstand to be more useful for players over time

[Potjeh]

Coin stands are much easier for the customer.

Anyway, thinking about this a bit more, I think copper and tin would actually be better than bronze coins. IMO bronze is now less valuable than it's component metals, since they can be used for a wider range of curiosities.

[Jackard]

less i have to carry around the better

[Jackard]

Ah, here's a thought. It may already work this way, but in case it doesn't: stands should autotransfer their ownership when a player reincarnates.

Also, an alternative to favors is allowing players to set more than one price for an item.

ugh wtf. sabinati just now tells me that barterstands dont accept bronze coins. is this intended [as a means to support a failing mechanic] or another overlooked item for pricing? i cant remember if bronze coins came after barterstands, it may simply have the same issue as other new items

why does this game even have redundant mechanics like two separate stands? they should be the same thing. it makes no sense

[Jackard]

Well that must be changed, I was pretty sure you could change it before. Are you sure you're emptying the stand completely, ie clearing both items for sale and payment?

making a market, have tested this on around six different stands now!!

we wouldnt want it to work that way to anyhow, it would require you to waste a barter slot on something stupid to reserve the stand

did have one standjacking, but weve been unable to reproduce it so i don't know where the catch is. maybe it accepts new owners if it goes empty for too long....? guy says he didnt use it for a few days because he couldnt set sausages as the price

it looks like vending stands definitely have temporary ownership, though

[Jackard]

cant even set gauze as a price. blegh
