Issues/Bug with negotiation screen

[ItsAboutMat]

The tutorial says I have to hit the bonus yellow to have a better value on my potions, BUT, even when I hit exactly every bonus part, wasting no time, I still have the potion valuing less than before, doesn't matter ho many times I hit the bonus thing, or how much time I spend doing it, just doesn't work at all. Am I doing something wring here, or there is really a issue with this mechanic? Anyone else having this same issue?

Did you already reach your max haggling modifier? Haggling gets capped at 20% until you place talent points into it.
So once you reach that value all you can do is go down, as the game progresses the boxes become smaller and you loose more money from the time in the minigame.

Other people have reported that the moment they started the minigame the amount lost on the minigame was impossible to keep up with even at the beginning. I never had this problem so i don't know if that's a actual bug or they just played the minigame badly.

Haggling is especially annoying when your dealing with potions that don't cost much. Haggling a 30g potion isn't worth it since at the start you could only get it to 36g with no talent points placed in.
I don't remember what the starting cost of a Rank1 healing potion is but i'm pretty sure at the tutorial you can only haggle it up by like 2-6 gold max which the decay from the minigame quickly outpaces the haggling up charge.

Haggling for me is only worth the effort if you are buying/selling expensive items where you can see a significant change in the price for the effort placed in.

The thing is not playing wrong or being bad at the mini-game, the thing is EVEN when I hit the boxes correctly and fast, each time I hit, the scale goes against me, and it was supposed to go against the customer, right? If I miss or took too long, the potion will have less value, if I do it right, the potion becomes more expensive, that's what the tutorial text says, but it's not what happens, and I think even in level 0 of negotiation when you hit the box right, the scale should go against the customer, not against you.

When buying/selling you always want the left side to go down when selling a potion this represents the buyer putting more money on the scale to purchase, when buying something it represents you putting less money on the scale to buy things. When the scale is all the way on the left then accept the deal. If the scale reaches the far right you're forced to accept the worse deal.

There's also numerous bug reports of the haggling minigame on their discord server.
Some of them including that their mice are possibly double clicking in the minigame. So when you press haggle when on one of the acceptable spots it will actually decrease the value because the extra clicks will haggle in a invalid area.

Try using the space bar instead of clicking to see if your mouse is also doing that. It works just like using the mouse just hit the space bar when your in one of the gold bars.

Hey man! Thanks again for your answer, but again, I get how the mechanic works, the problem is even hitting exactly the right square, the scale moves, but it moves the right down, doesn't matter if I'm using the keyboard or the mouse (which is brand new BTW, so no chance of double-clicking by itself). I even asked if I was doing something wrong, 'cause there's like 3 or 4 different symbols, and for a moment I thought that even hitting right, if I hit the wrong symbols the scale would go right (in case of me selling something), which if was the case, the tutorial of the mini-game should tell the player what each symbol means... But no matter which symbol, the scales always go against me, that's why I started to think that that's a bug.

Nope any symbol should of been accepted, the symbols just represent some vague idea of you having a conversation with the other person while trying to get a better price.
