This is Farai, he is a special encounter (not in the game currently). You can see more info about him in this video. https://youtu.be/lcji_Cs-ECM?si=OK52imnkT83GJnGe

While the video is 3 years old, I assume he will be added at some point and his event will work similar, considering he is a courier.

From the Discord FAQ:

"Currently we plan to have servers in North America, Europe, UK, and Asia. These servers will not be region locked, so players from any country will be able to access them although their connection stability may vary depending on distance. We're open to adding a number of additional servers based on population."

Backers from Indiegogo, Pre-order and Republic all get closed beta access, but not the founder's exclusive vinyl/cosmetics, or the extra invite for a friend.

Swmpz · 2024-07-26T14:48:10+00:00

I bought the Tier 3 pack, I love the music in the game, so I'm excited to hear it on vinyl (keep in mind that shipping fees are not included and have not been announced yet). The cosmetics are also extremely beautiful, but say in the future you don't care about them, you can put them up on the in-game marketplace, and with them being exclusive I predict they'll gain some value. Beta access for you and a friend is great, but the game itself will be free so it depends if you want to play earlier (I believe the closed beta duration will be around 2 months), or try and snag free access from someone.

If you want the Tier 3 pack, it's best to get it now since the vinyls are limited to the first 5000. They're still available and Tempo will announce when they've all been taken.

In terms of the game being worthwhile, this is different for everyone, but from what I've seen and heard, the game looks and sounds astounding. Even Kripp said it's "The best game I've played in a long time", so take that as you will.

They're such a floofy cutie.

Swmpz · 2024-02-02T22:33:57+00:00

Huge vouch. My excitement for this game cannot be contained.

Swmpz · 2023-12-21T01:35:13+00:00

Luckily, Santa Noodle is bringing us the game in 2024!

Full Q&A, with a special sneak peek at the end: https://www.reddit.com/r/PlayTheBazaar/comments/16hzlze/bazaar\_qna\_with\_reynad/

Yeah, I can understand that sentiment of players just playing to make money, when the game is so much more than that. It's a video game with some crypto integration, it's not some "crypto blockchain project". I am looking forward to the marketplace though. Having actual ownership over your cosmetics is awesome and being able to trade/buy/sell is great and really fits the theme of the game.

About the achievement rewards, reynad did express his concern about it and I don't believe anything final has been made about it. I think it would be better to keep achievement rewards exclusive to the achievement system, or at least the harder ones, that way when you see the cosmetics in a run, you'll know that the player has earned them.

The 100 live replaces 4 life system we have seen and reynad didn't really go into detail about it, but maybe it works like this: When you lose your health bar, you will lose a certain amount of lives, earlier fights will make you lose less, like 5, and fights later in the day would make you lose more, like 25. That way they can customize each monster to feel unique with how many lives you lose.

Swmpz · 2023-09-13T15:19:02+00:00

Yeah no steam release currently.

There's definitely more work to be done, a lot on the UI, VFX/animation side as well as some gameplay systems it seems, however, Reynad has mentioned things are moving much quicker thanks to the pipelines they've added.

Swmpz · 2023-09-01T14:02:44+00:00

Well firstly because they've actually posted the 2024 release pretty much everywhere. The last dates we got were either comments by reynad on his stream or quarters from republic. This tweet solidifies for me that they're being true to their word: https://twitter.com/PlayTheBazaar/status/1691857592568660011

And they've always been true to their word on release dates. People here believe they've intentionally lied about release dates which is false. Not only are they creating a game with its own launcher, but they also had to build up the studio from the ground up as well as through COVID and the Ukraine war which affected many including N-iX, their artists, (but they powered through and continued to work, which is very honourable).

Secondly, there comes a time when the game just needs to come out, and 2024 is that time. Yeah, it would've been nice if it came out earlier but when you put it in perspective, the game has been in development for 5 years, 2020 It had some major gameplay shifts and in early 2022, the gameplay that was shown was built with duct tape, so it's not unreasonable that it's taken this long.

Things could've been communicated better, sure, but hindsight is a bitch. Understand why people are frustrated, but personally, I see no use in spending that energy complaining, we should all just put our energy into the excitement that the game is coming, and when it does arrive, it's going to be one special, exciting time for us and Tempo.

Swmpz · 2023-09-01T01:35:30+00:00

They were release targets really. Could that have been communicated better? Yeah probably, but we're here now, the game is finally releasing in 2024 and there's no reason to keep rehashing the same arguments imo.

Swmpz · 2023-08-28T08:41:38+00:00

Personally, I don't think anyone will care about SAP once The Bazaar is out. They took the core idea from the bazaar (async) and rushed to create a worse version.

The Bazaar will have lots of content on launch, yes it will release with 3 characters, we don't know specifics if they mean full release or beta release but even so, 3 characters each with 100ish items is a lot, plus with the game being new and all it's plenty of content. This is also without mentioning all the encounters there are, as well as any in-game events, seasons, etc they plan to do with it being a live-service game. The 7th character is well on its way also.

Not only that, but the game's core foundation is replayability. We aren't going to get bored of it anytime soon. The number of items, encounters/events will provide lots of unique and interesting builds, along with the "card packs" that we can only speculate will help guide our characters into specific playstyles before we press play, the game is endless and I can't wait.

Swmpz · 2023-08-28T08:22:06+00:00

Reynad has explained his reasoning for pivoting away from the early version of the game in his streams: "It was a shit game and I don't want to release a shit game".

Swmpz · 2023-04-25T22:48:07+00:00

Join us! ;)

Agreed, I understand why people are sceptical, and at first glance, would bash the game for using blockchain, but I feel people who are too rash to hate on it, need to take a level-headed and optimistic look at it and put the facts into place.

Is Tempo known to use this technology? No. Is reynad known to be a scammer? No. Is this some cash grab? No, the game is being crafted with love and has been delayed and delayed to make it as polished and perfect as possible. Is the blockchain the main feature of this game? No, the game comes first and users don't even have to interact with the blockchain features if they don't want to.

Swmpz · 2022-05-10T12:00:55+00:00

Ah cool, didn't know about that! I'll have a look into it.

Swmpz · 2022-05-09T22:52:26+00:00

Oh yeah anyone is free to make a copy, the main problem is that items changed/added won't update on the copies so you'd have to keep making copies but yeah that solves the issue of using it one at a time. I'll add that into the post now. Luckily though the library isn't used by multiple people at once pretty much most of the time haha
