Improve the Bazaar

Wolfkyn · 2022-11-09T10:19:01.220Z

I’d love to see more placeable decor items in the bazaar. Sacks would be awesome, and already exist in the silver mine dungeon, so I’d think that’d be an easy addition. Stacks of lumber, piles of stones, trees…the potential is there.

They have an absolute wealth of things to sell us in already existing game assets. It’s ridiculous that they aren’t putting them in the bazaar from the very beginning.
It would go a long way towards giving us options and choices. In fact, already existing game items ought to have their own category and never be on a rotating basis but rather permanent offerings.

The dev stream for chapter 2 showed some some good stuff armours placeables and events so some stuff is on the way. I like the khitan samurai armour and the animal armour as well

I believe that they also hinted about adjusting their shop pricing too.

I love Conan and really wanted the Bazaar to be awesome but, the prices are just too high. You’d sell me alot of items if prices were half or lower. 17 bucks for a table with some food on it? There are 10+ mods that literally do the same thing. I’d rather be able play unmodded if you’d make and sell cosmetic packs 10 bucks add in like 20+ things. Make it appealing please?

If I can make one request in that please price isolated building additions of already paid content accordingly (IE new cathedral additions to stormglass which is already monetized in Siptah DLC) These should have a better discount than base game additions (IE sandstone set 1 and 2).

erjoh:

Why? You also have to pay for the basegame. Its not, like it is free.

erjoh · 2022-11-09T17:45:37.250Z

But in comparison between the sandstone sets and the upcoming stormglass, the base game cancels out and so Stormglass has another price wall associated with it so there should be consideration for that in pricing the SKU.

I love what you are saying. The basic idea of the bazaar is awesome. And the way they are talking about it they are trying to refine it. They need to put a little Rock Star attitude into it. We will see.

I’m all about FC making money and continuing my hobby/addiction called Conan but consideration needs to be taken account that an upcoming bazaar item should be priced as an enticement to a larger DLC purchase. IMHO, I would set the costing @ $5-10, knowing that this would also trigger increase sales of Siptah DLC when EL builds show off dark cathedrals of sorcery…but that’s just me.

So, I’ve been giving this some thought, and I still don’t understand their pricing. The overly expensive pricing model seems reminiscent of f2p games, not a game that requires an initial purchase. For example, in games like Red Dead (I’m assuming similarly in GTA, but I don’t play it) and Fallout 76, you have the ability to acquire paid currency via a grind in the game. In RDO, it’s gold bars that can be farmed in myriad ways like treasure hunting or fulfilling challenges, or even dailies. In FO76, you can get limited numbers of atoms for the shop via in game challenges, as well as a FREE season pass that has them with certain levels. Allowing for alternative methods to acquire Crom coins, even if in limited quantities every so often or with a tougher grind to farm them, would make me consider spending more on the bazaar since they don’t feel so finite and expensive. Granted, the prices should also come down a bit as well, but I think with the alternative free methods, it feels more justified. As it stands now, I’m thinking entirely with my wallet and not like, “oh shoot, I’m still short a bit. I could buy some coins now if I want, or I can grind out some missions and check back in a week, or wait for the next rotation to buy that.” Let’s face it, the game should entice f2p players as much as the whales.

erjoh · 2022-11-09T19:09:24.068Z

Preach! I still think with the change in how Conan revenue comes, it makes sense to turn it into a F2P game so that the bazaar (the main revenue vehicle) can be in front of as many people as possible.

The only thing I can think that would stop this sound business move is that the servers @ gportal couldn’t handle the load. Perhaps they are waiting to move to a more stable server environment? IDK. But totally agree with you. F2P is where it needs to move to.

jmk1999 · 2022-11-09T19:18:56.590Z

Idk if it should be f2p so much as a happy balance for those that choose to buy everything, regardless the price, and those that choose to save a bit of money and buy only what they want. I think in some ways, f2p could be disastrous for the loyal fanbase and bring about the toxicity known in f2p games. I get sad enough when I see a massive sandstone box erected overnight outside my beautiful base. I can only imagine said box being multiplied by 10+, and the server filled with casuals that destroy the camps and countryside in droves.

Lets wait and see what we gonna get with part 2 bazar and battle pass…
New setups will show us where everything goes. Save all the righteous malice to that point.

LostBrythunian · 2022-11-11T23:36:49.975Z

Counter point, let all the righteous malice out now so further discussion of the Bazaar after Chapter 2 drops can be less contaminated by lingering resentment over previous price points.

Denversetti · 2022-11-12T07:25:15.850Z

Fair point, but what if we gonna get top lvl BP with epic rewards, and rest are Bazaar items for 1-3 usd each? =)

Crazy prices and still FC hasn’t done anything about it… Even a new Ferrari is cheaper (on a price/performance basis) than their overpriced gaming store

MarcosC · 2022-11-12T09:56:42.393Z

You see how much console players need good BLB content. We have no mods.

Tuffman · 2022-11-12T15:07:46.364Z

The equivalent weight of vanilla extract would cost more than most Ferrari’s.

Why is that important? It’s not, it’s nonsense. Just like comparing the price of an exotic car to virtual items in a video game. None of it makes sense.

Denversetti · 2022-11-12T17:05:33.525Z

I make vanilla extract by my own…
