Commodities outside the rift or a warehouse will decay.
The rift and warehouses are the only place to store these. Official city commodity shops remain unaffected.
Stockrooms, bags of stasis, and other methods of preservation will no longer affect commodities.
Outrifted commodities will decay 12 hours after being outrifted.
Commodities dropped on the ground will decay 1 hour after being dropped (or any act/loss of connection that causes them to be on the ground.)
Commodities can be sold on the comm market directly from the warehouse.
When the term on a commodity sale ends any unsold commodities will first attempt to fill your rift. Any remainder will then move to the lowest costing warehouse lease in your name. If there is no warehouse lease in your name, any remaining commodities will then be placed in your inventory.
How many of each commodity you can sell at any time on the comm market will be capped based on your associated commodity mining ranking. The particulars of this scale will be announced in due course.
All commodities currently being sold on the commodity market at the time of this change (0100 GMT June 20th) will be returned to their owners. These will first attempt to fill your rift. Any remainder will then move to the lowest costing warehouse lease in your name. If there is no warehouse lease in your name, any remaining commodities will then be placed in your inventory.
We will also be adding integration for mining claim and storage to pair with warehousing.
Commodities this will affect:
Steel Wood Iron
Leather Coal Obsidian
Cloth Gold(bar) Rope
Elemental Ice Silver Gems
Platinum Bone Lacquer
Stone Ironore Rawgems
Goldore Silverore Rawobsidian
Platinumore Rawbone Impureice
Carbon and Rawstone
Remember, these changes go into effect at 0100 GMT June 20th.
So far I am definitely not a fan of this change whatsoever.
Leases don't have a maximum capacity, you pay per amount, so if your mine collapses and you have a lease with a warehouse, it should all go into there, at worst your lease payment increases.
If your rift capacity is full and no warehouse lease exists in your name, only then will commodities go to your inventory and begin to decay.
Someone gathering commodities for legendary mining, or a large house build, might well want to invest in a warehouse lease to store their commodities.
What was said that the number of commodities you can sell is impacted by your commodity mining ranking.
Just as an aside, you're not charged for commodities in a warehouse if those commodities are on the market. Much like with your rift, those commodities get taken out of play for the duration of the market offer so you don't accidentally spend them on something and cause them to vanish from the listing or become invalid in some other way. The being able to sell from your warehouse is entirely a convenience addition - it has no impact on your profit margin other than for the initial lease purchase (which is a pretty nominal fee).
1. I am curious the impact of this decision on cities.
I am all about PvP. Right now cities are not being punished enough for their improvements, losing guards, getting rooms destroyed, etc. I understand there has to be a balance because Mhaldor or Targ would grief cities with lower numbers. I understand this is a hard thing to think about, balance and fine-tune. This idea (leases/warehouses) puts MORE money into cities. More money into buying improvements, holding credit sales, etc. Some will argue that is good for the players. I believe the ORB (which almost every city has) isn't punishing enough when turned on and off because no one is really said "hey we can't turn on the orb for this defense because we don't have the upkeep cost".
2. A lot more people mining which will hopefully cause PvP (Assaults)
When I am around to prospect, all I see is small mines, rarely a mine bigger than medium. That means more miners are out or people have bigger legions. Which is good. I liked that change to mining because it forces people to actually assault in order to get the good mines. But with this change the smaller miners will not be able to keep up with the big spenders which means less miners, less conflict and the rich get richer.
If you added a cost to turn it on/off, more people would just leave it on indefinitely. As for the upkeep, it is already a pretty decent chunk of comms obsidian just to have it there, whether it's working or not.
It's crunch time! and my OCD is destroying me.... Knowing I have policies and leases setup that I do not want available.
Any chance the ability to remove / delete policies and leases are going to go in before the 20th?
lots of little initial errors, like not knowing you can't have spaces in the naming convention, and my test lease/policy to make sure I was going to be doing things properly that are sticking around. Oh, and the fact that you cant add policies to leases that have already been sealed, even though they were sealed before policies were introduced
And!!! one final question, for now! What exactly does setting delos as a "memberof" "exclusion" do? are they supposed to cover the rouges? I can add/exclude cities but I am thinking rouges may be able to slip in the cracks here unless delos is supposed to cover them.
I see you and your team working fast behind the scenes!
Thanks, that announce is great
How many comms got destroyed in this first decay wave? CM looks so empty now!
