SC seemed to be improving after the rewrite though. HC still has far too small of a playerbase. I think the other problem is due to the small number of players they will get average gear for next to nothing 1-20fg because we are too lazy to hold onto it on mules. Then they go to upgrade after a couple climbs and the cost for a 20-40ee upgrade is thousands. Providing average gear cheap is great for getting new players to complete climbs but I feel like the drastic jump from average to good gear is seriously off putting for new recruits. Especially with no clear way to make that much fg.

Was short lived with no more exciting updates. Game is back to being dead due to lag and lack of communication for future updates if any.

There are a lot of people in this game hoarding average/good items. The main 3 reasons are:

1. They paid a lot for them a while ago and they can't easily resell them for the same price, so they'd rather wait forever, even though they never play the game anymore
2. They aren't playing any games that require fg and they have no motivation of selling their LS items, so they keep them and do like 1 mq per year, if even so
3. And most importantly, there are too many old players in the game that are still somewhat active in the site, who are keeping their items in case the game ever "improves" enough, that they'd consider coming back

On a serious node ablut which items you talk? I play since 09/10 and the recent items which i bought was never sold in those price ranges ever lol

Common practice by some players would be to list items on the market much lower than the agreed upon price and the remainder of the price would be sent directly. Especially for very large transactions where the fee can easily reach a couple thousand alone. Also if the trade occurred within a guild it may have been just transferred via the vault rather than the market.

Im on a network that blocks the game and Items history pages... Check the history on HC item 3357594. There is a clear drop in value on it over the course of a couple years. Perfectly matching the deadzone of no updates/communication with paul.

item not found


well IMO in softcore the prices are currently back to top notch prices.... maybe not to the top top from all time, but close to that

The next sale in that list should have been 7.5k about a year or 2 later but it was sent to a guildmate via the vault

Lag is an issue....but somewhat deal able. Getting dropped while having 80% or more of a map completed is more frustrating.

Also, while shrine food has increased greatly over the few months that I have been here, the average drops/sèxy drops seem to have dropped or almost become non existent in my opinion. I’m not just basing this on my finds, but also on the few amount of times that people post in the overspawn/sèxy/average threads.

Due to supply/demand the demand is far greater than the supply and doesn’t seem to change anytime in the near future.

why deal with lag? its a game where you click pictures, why settle for basic connection issues.

game is a game where you grind hours and hours for usually absolutely nothing. Why be miserable and frustrated with lag?

game is a currency dump and not viewed as important, why settle for lag.

ITS YOUR INTERNET NOT MY PROBLEM. Those people play REAL games and not ones where you just click on pictures (IE League of legends and POE) but the picture game is the ultimate internet breaker. Why settle?

I literally cant disagree with you more on this topic. The drops are exponentially better than before the rewrite. In fact they have not been this good since he nerfed the spawn rate of NMNM and destroyed ambush. Probably even before that honestly.. maybe as far back as when arena was removed.
