Are you rolling out a HM for trading guilds?

ApoAlaia · June 27

Running trading guilds is already a struggle, we don't really need further pressure.

This week was the start of the Zenithar event, bids for desirable spots were positively eye watering.

You schedule a long maintenance on Wednesday killing most of the trade on that day, and another long maintenance this coming Monday?

How are we supposed to make the gold for the bids on Tuesday? Moonlighting in one of the houses of ill repute in Riften?

That plus entirely removing the ability to sort listings by time left from console a week before Zeal because update timing was just that amazing.

Feels awesome, doesn’t it?

The lack of ability to sort by time is really killing my happiness. As an avid furnishing plans collector the new patch had me rushing to the guild stores to check out the new stuff. I've no idea what the new stuff is (patch notes didn't say) so I look to see what people posted most recently.

Now, barely a week into the patch and I'm over having to type in (on a controller don't forget) the search terms Every. Single. Time. I log into my main. And again after updating/ fixing an add-on error by reloading UI which can happen after using a wayshrine*.
It's not fun. It's frustrating and I've had enough.

* Add-ons for Xbox have been great. Of course there are teething troubles and whatnot, my complaint is not with Add-on Devs - we love them for bringing the good stuff to console, thank you.

👀👀 moonlighting you say?

In all seriousness, this is a big problem for sure. Totally agree

And now the banner says the entire last day of the event is down. Really?? Essentially three full trading days gone in one event - one which is at least partially focussed on guilds? WTH are they thinking?

Yeah this is/was a big mess-up

ApoAlaia · July 4

I am starting to think that the focus of the event is not guilds, is actually maintenance.

I... fail to can anymore.

The rule of thumb when reading the article about an event is to subtract 1 day from the duration and one day's worth of tickets from "you could collect a whopping X tickets". Sadly, it's what it is.

No, you just get to bid double and hope for the best.

I dont think they really consider how the systems integrate from a players perspective. I think between the brain drain by project blackbird of people who really knew the game/engine and the current team that doesnt seem to play or have the passion to see and fix these things regardless of: The game and player experience is bottom of the list after input from MS, monetization, etc. Regardless of what they tell us, layoffs, restructuring , and their track record makes this kind of lack of attention to integral game mechanics more likely and easier to predict.
