Merchants need to be changed.

[Kha]

I never got to making this post during the test itself, since i kinda forgot about it, but better late than never right?

Ynow what's an absolutely wonderful experience? You go into the dungeon solo, you do well for yourself and find a portal out, you found all sorts of treasure while you were in there, but no gear! Well not to worry, there are multiple merchants available! So you go to the treasurer and make tons of gold, stash it all away and think to yourself "Ynow, my rogue could really use a shiny new dagger" so you head to the weapon merchant aaaaaand....

The whole screen is red apart from a pickaxe, there are no daggers on sale, not a single one, every weapon is for a different class.

Why is this a thing? What other game like this (Tarkov is the only one i've heard of) just has a store be completely useless because you randomly have things show up in it that your class can never use (assuming you're not playing the fighter). We already know that each merchant instance is different for not only each individual player, but each individual character, there isn't any good reason for the merchants to function as they did in the last playtest (that's playtest #3) other than to needlessly inconvenience the player.

Trading with other players exists, ofcourse, but i don't see that as a reason for the merchants to suck, even if merchants start selling gear only appropriate to your class, trading with other players will still have a big part in the game.

Or what, am i wrong on this and everyone else loves seeing nothing but red in their store window? any thoughts?

I agree but also it seems like the player sales will be easier to use next time and thats where all the good equipment will be. /but I do agree that its silly, especially since the devs dont want to make it easier to swap gear between chars, to have it like this

yeah they already said they don't want trading gear to be easy.

as far as the red goes. the best fix would be to add a class specific filter.
though i didn't find any of the merchants to be "inconvenient"
