Harvester's Market - your thoughts?

[Gonzo the Great]

What do you guys think about the new harvester's market? I'm having mixed emotions, because it's not that bad that I don't need to change worlds to check all the vendors around Blackfell as it was before. On the other hand I can not teleport to the market and the area is pretty huge. And what I didn't realize so far: are there different vendors if I am in different worlds or are they the same in every world? And currently not that many vendors are there, I checked today (but just the lower "ground floor", there were 5 or 6 vending machines.

You can definitely teleport to the market... there's a teleporter there you need to activate it.

The overall area layout and the big platforms to build vending machines are just lazy design. It could be better but at least its a move in the right direction.

Ooooops, you are right, now I found the teleporter. And thanks to it I found out that it's even worse. Because now I could switch worlds and guess what? Different worlds, different vending machines. And they are scattered - many on one platform, many on an other, some here, some there, some up, some down in the canyon and so on. Thats now worse than before around Blackfell......

It's a waste. In blackfell it was cool seeing every ones truck designs. In the market is just a boring set of platforms with vending machines on it.

Is massive and ugly. I don't know about other servers or if the devs think there are 10'000 active player per server, but on my server there are barely 2 platforms used per world.

They could have made a nice enclosed smaller market only at the bottom of that place, closing it at the top with some "cosmetic defence"...
Why would you make an elevated defenseless market when you got manibus attacking from the sky?
It just show how much time they spent making it, not even consider their own game lore even so slightly.

...and like Shaggy said it was nice to see different truck shops in BF (a bit less nice when you had ppl bringing inside BF 5x3 trucks messing up everyone else shop)

Old world is so much worse than blackfell, multi levels and no quick way to move between them, nothing rendering right it is a mess. I hate it....HATE IT.

Way of winter is great, nice area, easy to see everything quick to move it was done right.

What i would like to see is a single world, like if you are doing a prime war. one of my alts has 15 worlds to move between to check the vendors.

what i would LOVE to see is a auction house. it would be easy for anyone to buy or sell and would make prices more stable and not so crazy between vendors.

With the amount of Bots around, Auction house would be rediculous.

you know i haven't noticed a single bot. But i do tend to solo play.

I'm still on the fence about the market. It's a great idea really, but I'm not sure everyone placing machines only one one world is really effective. (which is how my server is) While, yes, it makes it nice not having to swap worlds to compare prices etc, it's really just a clusterfk and usually only the first couple of platforms see a majority of people buying from. Because lets face it, who's gonna spend hours going through all those platforms full of vending machines, not many people. Not sure why people don't just build on their own respective home worlds to spread things out a bit.

I also miss seeing everyone trucks and how they are designed, it felt more personal, this just kinda feels boring and mechanical.

The Harvester's Market area is a wasted potential, huge and open areas with little cosmetic vibes or sense. It just shows how they spent little time ''designing'' that area, and it makes no sense whatsoever, for example in my Mani server only one platform is used, and it's always the one closest to the teleporter once you cross that wooden hanging bridge, while other are empty, lower levels of the market are a mystery to me because who in their right mind thought that we need such a huge and empty, soulless area which certainly does not resemble market.

[Snackie Grimoire]

Did they ever change the restriction? Apparently people vending machine are getting removed even when there is items still in them.

I rather just park my truck nearby and have it stay open till server sign up or when there is no items left

[tinsmith33]

There is another setup it seems farther west looks better then current setup .
And no there is no teleporter at it sadly .

[player7112]

I don't have any problem with them, can still use old trucks too.
When you have the right merchandises at the right price, your shop is in the proper location, your items will sell like hotcakes.
Some players can even make a fancy supermarket in their territory. But I prefer it simple. Just teleport to the market, dump items to vendo and go offline.

I am in World 5 and there is no vendors in my harvest market
