Haven’t had spell glyphs in forever. I would say we’ve had a few decent bazaars though. Way too many new expensive gem deals now, that make Bazaar frustrating at times. Or even like food heavy bazaars which is difficult because you don’t get as much food as you used to.
Bazaar reward track definitely needs a rework IMO.
It seems like they are putting junk on sale in bazzar and selling for gems, a few times we have had players sacraficing gems to by useless items purely to help us meet the goal evert time, iv actually saved over 30000 honour that i normally use for bazaar glyths but we not getting any
Yeah I’ve had some good deals, vip though spell glyphs and minion glyphs I think it was last week for honor. Also had spell glyphs mid June for food. Don’t think that was vip.
Our guild had a good week, last week, in the bazaar regarding Glyphs.
That said, I also do see the general observations in the bazaar that most others are seeing. The bazaar is generally clogged up daily with Gem-expensive Legendary/Mythic Gear offers + Spell Dust offers + Aether offers that not only prevent the rarer offers from appearing, that they often also hard block completing the guild bazaar purchase quota for the day.
@Jeto Bazaar now is often way too gem heavy. None of the gem deals are particularly good or affordable. Would be difficult to gift our way out of this for buys. And the food glyphs which would have been fantastic when we first started playing this are no longer particularly good either since the game no longer gives you the food in chests it once did. Would take a tremendous amount of resources just to buy 2 of these glyphs, much less 4, and then afterwards you’d be out of food and unable to actually play the game in terms of farming chests. Some of these prices and bazaar in general need to be reevaluated in my opinion.
Even for high level players, this is a ton of food. How do you expect any low level players to be able to get any of these glyphs? Cost should be cut in half to 4500 imo, so it’s obtainable for low level players and high in some cases. We just supposed to clean out all our marks and honor for 1 or 2 glyphs? Noooope. And yeah, the gem “deals”. Are atrocious and way to frequent, many useless when we have 1 million shards to never use. This goes towards the daily shop too. I’m a vip and it’s loaded daily w bad gem, crown options . Sometimes no gold at all, which is annoying. Vip “deals” should actually be deals and vip worthy. Hope this gets examined thoroughly, because obviously did not when reworks was done.
We haven’t made any adjustments to how the rewards are selected or how the cost is generated for a couple of months now - where we moved some offers from VIP only to any slot and we added in some more Gem and Gold offers
The options for rewards and costs are on a rotation from a pool, there are some days I have all gold shard offers and others that look like this - I’ve been grabbing notes about the amount of Shard offers there are in-game
I’ll say this to be fair. One thing I actually do like about the food scarcity is it makes speed minions far more relevant. A year ago when I first started, you could just run all cunning minions and be just fine with how plentiful food was. Now top minions are rated on speed and cunning, which I think is healthier for the game and adds even more strategy in terms of what minions you upgrade. Are the food in chests too low though still, possibly? I think though, at the very least, some of these prices in the bazaar need to be lowered.
@Jeto - If we had this much diversity and such low prices in our bazaar most of our players would be doing handstands! Perhaps we need to post screenshots of our bazaars for a week so you can get a better idea of what we’re talking about.
I don’t think Jeto’s bazaar example is that great either. Best thing on it is the minion shards, but that at least can be restocked and gifted alliance members 50 gems to buy it twice. The minion shards is a good example of how you make a solid gem buy with a cheap cost so its feasible to buy it (or gift so members can buy it) to help out your alliance with bazaar.
There is no need to post any screenshots, it is something I have already been discussing with the team & have plenty of examples already as well as access to the bazaar data.
Todays bazaar is just a better rotation for my Kingdom than it has been… for example
I appreciate you passing the information on to the team for their review.
However, again, this bazaar has much better variety and significantly reduced pricing over what we see. I believe you’re on a special server, does it have different pricing and drop rates than our servers?
If this is an example of what you’re seeing regularly, you might not be getting the whole picture.
The server I am using is running the exact same data you are all on - the only different is it’s separate so updates can be released to me first before going live.
It is not a dev/cheats server, it does not have test data or test changes. The data for your bazaar offers is the exact same pool of rewards and costs that I am playing on.
Again, the development team has access to that data and the pool of offers and costs everyone is pulling from.
I’m just trying to understand why it appears that your offers are different from ours.
I don’t believe you cheat, nor did I mean to imply that in any way.
My apologies if I offended, that certainly wasn’t my intent. I appreciate the hard work you do and your commitment to your players.
Anecdotally, my guild’s bazaar offers have also become Food heavy, whereas previously it was Honor heavy. I can observe this because over the last few months, my Honor total has been steadily increasing even with buying the Honor-overpriced Armor Glyph in the PvP Shop (just to spend the Honor on something of value to an end-gamer).
From my understanding, each slot on the Bazaar screen has a pool of rewards and then a pool of resource costs, then on top of that is your Bazaar Tier. As you progress through the tiers, the rewards change.
Our Kingdom is always Bazaar Tier 1, and maybe up to 5 at max.
Think there are some similarities between what is shared here and likely on discords and such, as cos most of the active Kingdoms are also the players most active in Community discussions - so I would expect them to have similar Bazaar Tier levels
Any reasonably active full guild can easily sustain max Bazaar Tier (10), as it only takes 50 daily purchases (~2 per player in a full guild) to reach that goal. Which is likely why you are observing similarities with your observations.
Level upgrades? We stay tier 10 except for the occasional miss. The bazaars do not seem to be better or worse depending on your tier level at all. We go 5 6 days sometimes with nothing exciting or useful at tier 10. If a lower level bazaar gets better deals and or options, then the tier upgrade is pointless right? I believe Gem Raiders have recently asked about their bad/poor bazaars?
Another week since i posted and not one good bazaar for us in gem raiders with even one glyph but the mythic for 2500 gems has appeared twice now.
@Jeto are the odds all the same for each item daily or do gem offers and stuff we don’t need have a higher chance of appearing at a level 10 bazaar?
These are not great offers at all. Im pretty disappointed in the bazaar and i look forward everyday to see what we’re going to get and every day it’s a let down.
There is nothing special about a tier 10 bazaar.
And you can’t compare your low level to a X at all…
Thanks for passing this on to the team @Jeto and thanks all the feedback from the players here!!
Maybe we can help sort this out for a update in the near future…fingers crossed.
spell glyphs and minion glyphs I think it was last week for honor. Also had spell glyphs mid June for food. Don’t think that was vip.
