The bazaar problem is not addressed at all… they are so against players trading in an mmo game which is dumb. They call it an exploit but an exploit is usually something game breaking that is borderline cheating but isn’t because it was how the game was made. Biggest problem are bots being faster than humans and have no problem waiting at all. I bet KI would do something if the community banded together to bot the bazaar en mass. They can’t just let actually obtain reagents with ease and not paying them. Hiding behind the term exploit is a cop out.
I did tend to ask about something for the next main storyline for Wizard101. It mainly covered Jaki Whisperwind's home world and if we might be able to get a bit of info or a nugget at some point in the next upcoming storyline or Arc 5, Ruben said that would be in talks with Sam, who wasn't there. They did appreciate the question.
No offense to KI but what they’re doing with the whole bizarre situation is straight bullshit because it’s literally been in the game since it came out and now they’re finally addressing it and it’s crazy that they’re calling in an exploit
There are reagent packs for a 100 of one kind, for 500 crowns. God the reagent part of the bazaar is just practically non-existent due to being non-functional. If it isn't putting barriers between accessing things like crowns, or paywalls, or pay to win or xyz, it's the sheer amount of time something will take. We were already camping at the bazaar! I have other things I want to do than to wait indefinitely for not only a player to sell something, but for the devs to let me buy it as well. Like read that sentence again 50 times and tell me that those are really strong choices on behalf of the devs. Anything regarding crafting is going to need an entire overhaul. Part of what made selling reagents an important tenant was that *all* players got reagents from wherever, but not all of them care about crafting. Am I supposed to farm mobs or bosses for reagents too? Along with gear or pets or amulets or stitch gear or wands or whatever... god_damn_
so if I have a no trade auctionable robe I want to stich on my other wizard, I have to sell it in the bazaar then switch to the other wizard to buy it. they're calling that an exploit? I'm trying to sell it to myself! someone's getting exploited for sure & it's not KI.
Do we know 1. If console will be cross platform within itself (so can Xbox, PS, Switch players use the same servers) and 2. Is there any news on how talking will work on console, possible proximity voice chat exclusive to console? (Roblox have it for example, so why not Wiz?)
How is coodinating with other players wrong. Like anybody can make friends in the game, anybody can buy or sell those reagents. If anybody has the ability to do this what makes it unequal or unfair?
Oh it was tonssss of glitches with that event lol. One of the last notorious ones was when the combat was broke for the entire game. Fingers crossed it works this time! 🤞
Also... the bazaar thing is such a sloppy bandaid. It's been in the game since the *beginning*. It's like, a core foundation of user experience and playing. Also, it's a multiplayer game!! what do you think that means?? It's obvious they can't afford to have the proper capabilities to actually address the bots. Why would they not look at the patterns created between speed and item acquisition and start there, or give folks a cooldown if they've met that pattern or criteria. Come onnnn

I heard that question too! I’m also interested to see some more backstory about Jaki!

i do not give a fuck what ki has to say until they tell us spark has been permanently fired.
K don’t think they’ll say much about it anyways lmao. I think he’s gone though.
who's spark?

The consoles will share a server and be able to play with eachother. Regarding voice chat I honestly doubt they allowed that.
Looks like I'm staying offline that specific day Portal Of Peril returns 😭
I wonder if it's embarrassing for the devs to continually fumble choices regarding user experience
this ki live was mostly just them announcing they have no interest in community requests :(
Console is another way to milk users they have to buy membership once again and of course every pacl they already bought in the pc versions of it
mystery discount is coming tomorrow, trust 🙏😂

How does it make it Black Market too? That's what people do to help others, they sell reagents for them. I don't get this logic of it being wrong.
Finally I missed portal 😢
I miss the old forums, bring that back please
No cuz Discord exists and tbh It's better this way cuz stingy ass KI always locked the forums behind a paywall so discord is much better.
Did they retire the Marley bone motorists pack?
Supposedly they did 😭
The earn crowns videos don't even work anymore. They just only want us to buy crowns it seems.
Do they still give crowns for the questions that were answered? I know they've done it before
I think they still do, not entirely sure though.
they do. I think they mostly look at Discord questions instead of Twitter although I dunno what Emma the "new" CM would do.
what was the portal glitch
Oh it was tonssss of glitches with that event lol. One of the last notorious ones was when the combat was broke for the entire game. Fingers crossed it works this time! 🤞
Astro bot GOTY!!!

Oh wow so they already ruined console by making people restart from scratch KI is a joke dude.
Hahaha yea I’m a little upset about it too. I won’t be playing it on consoles unless they add a Cross-Save in the future.
