We have just make the following improvements to the game:

 

• Increased the amount of buffs that can be listed in a Buff Package from 5 to 10.
   
• Added a new 'Requests' page for managing incoming Buff Package requests. Note previous Accept and Reject links in the log messages have been replaced with a link to this new page.
   
• Changed the gold and Fallen Sword Point limit on Buff Package costs to 500,000 and 10 respectively. Packages currently listed higher than those values have been changed to be within these new limits.
   
• If the player requesting a Buff Package already has a buff of equal or higher level active when the seller accepts the request, the buff will be skipped and the rest of the package will be applied. (Note the onus is on the requester to ensure the relevant buffs in package can be cast on them.)

Some players price based on the 25 stamina = 1 FSP rate from the upgrades page. With so many higher level buffs being 30 stamina, this means we wouldn't be able to list a 10-buff package at the price we want.

Also, another piece of bad news: Since the market is currently filled with more buffs and buff packages than 5...The new packages, especially if charged at or above 50k...well, the chances of even making it observable are minimal. [EDIT: This means, in essence, that the amount of packs/buffs displayed must be increased. And just as a silent whisper...again, I'd add: please, differentiate between single buffs and packs.]

 

 

However - thank you for the recent changes - these have been long called-for! Great help!

By the way, any word on whether we're going to get a TOGGLE ALL button?  Turning all packages on and off individually is really annoying...

time to lower their price, advertise else where, or offer fewer buffs.

This is getting better all the time. Looking great guys!

 

I have a question. Why are you limiting the amount of buffs that are able to display? Many of the players have a buy all buffs option in their biographies (such as myself.) Is there a rhyme or reason to this cap?

 

Thanks,

that would let players advertise with 60+ buffs  or 120 (or however many offense/defense/special buffs we have) at a troll amount of level 1

 

would be tricky to have a way to advertise that large amount so you know what you are buying..

Considering the cap was put in place due to a few people spamming up the featured listings with "silly" numbers, having a cap that restricts legitimate sales is frustrating.

I'm loving this additional resource for finding buffers I normally wouldn't find. HOWEVER....

 

I have seen at least one player (with multiple instances) list a 1 buff package for crazy prices, the most recent case being Rage level 69 (yeah that's right) for 10 FSPs.  He is obviously waiting for some unsuspecting soul to press the Send Request button to their demise.  This practice is unethical and utterly undermines the intent of this great feature.  Thank goodness the offerer's name is attached to this "value pack".

i think one FSP per buff is a good restriction for the Buff Market.. what would you have it at? unless you are against a restriction all together?

I've just added Toggle All On / Off buttons to the manage page

Now I'm getting this message:

"Rebornjedi has requested the 'Anti D' buff package. [ Manage Requests ]"

Any possibility to change to:

"[Accept] [Decline] [Manage Requests]" ?

That will save us a lot of time, and will help mobile users, just an suggestion.

Before this update, that listing was Rage level 69 for 69 FSPs. With the update, it was auto-changed to 10 FSPs. This was one of the "silly" listings that caused the cap to be put in place. 

I've just added Toggle All On / Off buttons to the manage page

Thank you thank you thank you!

Sure - I've added the direct Accept / Decline links back in in addition to the manage requests link

Thx a lot Hoof

If each buff was no more than 25 stamina to cast, a 1 FSP per buff rate would be a "break-even". However, this is not the case, as most of the high level buffs are 30 or even 35 stamina each.

 

I am simply pointing out that the restriction put in place due to a few people spamming up the listings with silly numbers is now restricting the rest of us from making listings we want.

What if the limit was maybe 2 FSP per buff and 'x' gold ?

While I would not personally make a 20-FSP package, I think this is a more reasonable limit with the 10-buff limit.  It would still prevent the "silly" listings we were seeing, while allowing more flexibility for pricing.
