Sealed Bottles Pt.2

[Fenris]

Simple suggestion.

Please reconsider the content of sealed bottles.

In my opinion there is no point collecting Sugar,Tobacco, and Iron ingots in small amounts.

Thank you.

It's austerity, pal.

Due to an engine limitation in the new version of Unity, the devs actually have to pay the wholesale market value of all the goods that are in the game. Global iron prices just rebounded (http://markets.businessinsider.com/commodities/iron-ore-price), and Gamelabs is a small studio, so that's why we don't have anything but miserly amounts of loot in the game anymore.

 

Seriously, though. Imagine how disappointed Somali pirates would be to hijack a supertanker and find only 3 gallons of oil on board.

The sealed bottle content is slightly irrelevant but the wipe will cure it.

Cure it? Really?

You mean instead of 50 Tobacco, we would have 100 tobacco in it?

Yeah "austerity"......

Untill nobody can earn money but selling stuff for ridiculous prices or PvE.

You get more from a sealed bottle than boarding a LGV and taking the loot currently on the testbed...something seriously outta whack in my opinion

I am not interested in boarding AI traders.

I actually got a few bottles I need to pick up but I only do it when I pass that are.  Your pretty much spot on they are worth getting traders.

And for a guy that seems to hate PvE so much, isn't collecting bottle exactly that?  Sounds like you just want the old big rewards for little to no work.

 

Though honestly it's sad a bottle from a wrecked war ship gives you more goods than a trader hauling goods.  Hell I be happy if the traders at least had close to the same cargo as the bottles do compared to what they have on testbed right now.

I would not even care if the Sealed Bottles get removed completely.

So either they can be rare and provide valuable stuff, or they are not needed at all.

(Was proposing this "long" time ago, after they were nerfed.Thats why the name of the thread..Part 2)

why do they have to provide valuable stuff?  Some folks *GASP* actually like doing stuff like collecting them even with the small rewards.  That is why I don't go out of my way to get them. I'll pick it up if i pass that area, but that is not my thing, but we have a clan mate that loves to sale all over the place and pick them up.  It's his way of killing time when there is no PB's or PvP going on.   

The game truelly lacks content and that content keeps the casual players in game and the more of them we have is the more targets we get for PvP.  So the more silly things like this that are in game that keeps some players around the better.  Means more sheep for the slaughter.  You know so we don't have to attack AI traders, but instead we can attack some unlucky guy looking for his bottles.
