1 - We'll have Torrent file ready for download 1-2 days prior release. Launcher will be available 1 day prior release.
2 - Not all the trade packs will require Gilda, from total quantity it's just like 1/3 of them. Advanced Specialty Packs will require Gilda.
Gilda can be obtained in game from packs, event or quests. Should not cause a problem for players but we'll keep an eye on the situation.
3 - Fellowships packs are not going to be adjusted by 3.0 release. We'll see then how it works for the players to make any further conclusions.
1.) ty very appreciated
2.) yeah I'm aware, the problem is Gildas are way too valuable to waste on packs when the gold output does not vary from 2.9 and the 1/3 affected packs are the most used by far especially by new players(that by being new will restrict more the use Gildas) also the affected 1/3 packs are the ones that requires the most husbandry and fruit trees hence their disuse will hurt those prof trees badly(at least solving the larders issues milk is pretty much the only reason in 3.0 to even bother with husbandry), so at least switch the packs that require Gildas.
For example:
adding Gilda for Two Crowns cream pack will(note I'm speaking from official experience since I played there) will drastically reduce the value of medicinal powder and milk(again no one will make TR with Gildas, you can write that in stone and ban me from the server if it isn't true) but adding Gildas to pomme cakes packs will not be as drastic because no one uses it since pommes are tough to get in decent price/quantity ratios.
but also lets check the most common new player packs
Solzreed Braised Meat will kill instantly the price of egg(in official is inventory trash now unless you cook) but also was the best pack to make when you have to depend in public farms
Gweonid Dyed Feathers will kill instantly the price of orchards and feathers, insta inventory trash
Marianople Duck Down same story
Halcyona Wheat Biscuit same story plus will force control of the packs to those guild who have trade houses in the area because no one in its right mind will depend on Halcyona Yam Pasta because is wayyyyy to expensive to keep up
The same story apply on haranya of course.
This was disastrous on official for Na/Eu and amplified by the royal seed issue that murdered larders(luckily will not happen here), Sure in Korea was different but their Gilda system is completely different and they had a majority of old players with thousands of Gildas in their inventories but on our current system Gilda have way too much value.
Considered it calmly because adding Gilda to the low tier packs will hurt directly new players and will destroy any income possibility from husbandry and gathering, just change the Gildas to the higher tier packages and leave those low tier as 2.9
3.) ok, fair enough but check the statistics since I'm pretty sure almost no fellowship pack delivery should exist, I guarantee it
