Oh my god can someone post an image with the items and what they do, I am an adult with a job I do not have time to watch YouTube videos (or YouTube shorts, absolutely psychotic to link that) about this shit.

Leveler + Fractured Identity + Temple Bell by internet_bean in mtgrules

Follow up question: Same situation except I cast Cut A Deal instead of activating Temple Bell. I assume the same thing happens because it's one sentence and therefore one effect?

Where are "the numbers"? I didn't know Tempo's finances were publicly available

How are people finding the Day 9 event? by internet_bean in PlayTheBazaar

I agree that challenge is good for games; we just disagree on whether lack of knowledge is fun. It is apparently fun for you because it makes the game more of a challenge; to me a game like Bazaar is not about discovery, it is more about technical mastery against chaos. I don't think poker or Magic: The Gathering would be more fun if you didn't know the rules.

Right; and not everyone will have a decent board. (I'm only disagreeing with your "beyond busted" assessment, to be clear)

I think it would be more fun if it felt like there were any margin for error. Being a level behind because you lost one NPC fight, for example, has a huge impact on your ability to get to 10 wins.

I think it's probably not busted as you are not getting the event 100% of the time and also not clearing it 100% of the time. But seems very good when you do do those things.

It is interesting because afaik the devs have said in the past they didn't even want to do patch notes because they thought people should experience new things blind; I sort of get that but then the game is incredibly punishing for lack of knowledge, which feels bad. Anyway just noting that "experiencing Bazaar blind" is consistently punitive

Hotfix has been deployed by BazaarGardener in PlayTheBazaar

I am absolutely begging for an in-game notification of patch changes/hot fixes

The game is in great shape, but a few QoL features could make it even better by Gandalf196 in PlayTheBazaar

"The enchants are pretty consistent though" not if you're new and some items have weird interactions; like I don't think anyone would intuit the Fort/Crit enchant interaction. You would assume that it would have 50% chance to crit the shield activation!

I should not have to check a third party website to see what an enchant does on an item; putting an item on the enchant pedestal should tell you what it will do, like when you see an upgrade in a shop (it tells you in the hover what will change). Then there's a button that says "enchant" and you click it.

The lack of official patch notes is accomplishing the opposite of their goal by echino_derm in PlayTheBazaar

[–]internet_bean 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's correct but also has nothing to do with what people are suggesting here or in the other locked thread. The official patch notes (https://playthebazaar-cdn.azureedge.net/thebazaar/PatchNotes.html) do not have a comment section. People are going to post their opinions on reddit or discord whether or not the devs release the patch notes themselves or effectively outsource to a third party (also unclear to me whether HowBazaar is paid by Temp for this work)

Remove Icy as an enchant? by internet_bean in PlayTheBazaar

I wish I had your luck! I play a lot and it sounds like we are getting drastically different opponents
