It wasn't. They were hoping that you wouldn't notice.
What the bleep? Some adventures cost double or more now!
There was a comment on test server about some players forced to play BK and VLT at level 60 cause they are unable to get better ones. Is this change a try to push them over the edge so they cant play anything at all and have to quit?
They should have just revamped the entire market with new adventures. It's been a few years since the last change...
Dev Diary for weekly challenges say they do not contain luck based quests for the challenges. Well, they contradict that by putting in TOW and Besieged City adventures to do since the drop rate aren't guaranteed for either of them. If they expect people to do TOW or Besieged City for a weekly challenge, put them in the market for map fragsments.
Quote:
All of these challenges will contain stages which ask you to accomplish things such as producing resources, completing adventures creating and applying buffs etc. What they do not contain is any luck-based tasks, such as treasure hunts; this means you can more predictably complete these challenges with some consistency, without the fear of running out of time due to bad luck.
Must be a bug - since not mentioned in Change Log - or just another change to make life harder for low level players - for high level players with RPH and lots of explorers the price in map fragments is no problem.
As the title says - pretty shameful
Merged
agreed
Totally unfair for newer players while those playing for years have it easier in every way
[16:34] BB_Acadma2: Can someone place some of the price differences you noticed, how much and where, in the Forum post please?
[16:35] BB_Acadma2: I'll bring it to the attention of the right people
Witch of the Swamp was 96 map fragments and is magically 110 map fragments.
But, as I said on chat, the right people should have a record of all the prices
I checked the prices on Wiki the other day before they updated them. Here are some I found: BK has gone from 295 map fragments to 510. Roaring Bull from 295 to 610. Stealing from the Rich from 145 to 190. Traitors from 145 to 200.Quote:

That would be because I never buy any resources or lootspots from the trade office so they can do what they like with those prices and I wouldn't notice. I do, however, gift adventures to lower levels in the guild so do see those prices.Quote:

TO prices always have player influence,and rarely have a longterm effect on gameplay of others. Merchant prices are solely under the control of BB and does have a longterm effect on player gameplay choices. ( Given BB often ridiculous pricing policy in merchant with no real link to game prices. We as players should not just take what they throw out there and accept it, as has often been said in the past, there understanding of their own game sometimes beggars belief when it comes to things like merchant prices. So one has to ask why they did not consult those with the knowledge before implementing this change )
I said in chat that I wondered if I had been caught in a time warp and gone back three years, as it seems BB had gone back to the dark times as this sort of thing was rife during that period. Devs making changes to suit their idea of the game regardless of the player base...it cost you a lot of players back then, and you really haven't got that luxury any more. Most of your players now, I'm sure appreciate new content, yes, but still like to play the game THEIR way. If you ( BB) explain what your doing , I like most here will give it a go and understand what part the changes mean for the game. But really you should do this before implementing it into the live game so any miscalculations on your part can be corrected. Sneaking it in is not the way to do it and shows little respect for your players, but I said this the last time and it seems it fell on deaf ears :(
And you talk out the back of your beard - read the post.. Its BB setting the prices, not the playersQuote:

Increasing their price suddenly and without notice is just unacceptable...
ok so i look in shop to get wots yeah im lazy i do pinky ponk big letters things get the 2 addys quest wots east one to do anyways just load nus send to tower job done but when looking in shop some didnt look right
i know i dont do rb addys and normally give mine away in guild or gift them and yeah i can make mf so not no big prob there but what about little levels they might not have the fattys to find addys or mf and they not gonna have rph to make them really will they neither
kinda seems abit baiased towards people that can make them over them that cant coz unless they have good mates that can send them or in a guild to maybe get some addys they gonna be snookered if have to do certain ones to buy in shop and cant coz no way to get the mf to do it
when your a lower level you dont have the gc to send fattys addy hunting all the time so seems kinda unfair on them i think and thos mid range levels maybe that also dont have loads mf coz we know how fast you can level up these days.
maybe its a way for smurfs to try slow the level up rate down i dunno but seems a bit weird coz i cant remember it being said anywhere they was going up in price
Settlers! You have been heard!
I would like to make everyone aware that the cost of Map Fragments has reverted to their previous prices.
Hope this is some kind of a failed joke. BB doesnt know what they themselves have changed? BB doesnt have access to their own games last version and has to relay on players to remind them?Quote:

Superb. :DQuote:

What has reverted back is what was there previously.Quote:

i dont think we should be stopping players trying to get on in the game and as some quests ask them to have this addy or that if they cant afford it how the hell would they been able to do the quests not like thats gonna encourage them to want to play the game
but ty for telling whoever and them changing it back
Worryingly, I notice that the prices that were inadvertently (?) applied here are still in action on the test server. Is this a sign of prices to come?
