Trade/Barter timeouts not good.

(1/4) > >>

Kizz:
The trade/barter timeouts is not a good idea imo. I tried to trade in a near deserted town San Francisco, and tried to sell bunch of stuff to trader, having to micro-manage what u want to sell and what u want from the trader in the alloted time given is insane. After more than 3 tries I cant trade anymore with any trader, even traders from other towns? Is this a bug or a feature? In this way, the game is actually forcing people not to trade, but to craft and than find the npc with the most caps and go do a simple trade which would be faster and within the time limits.

Example, I will save a bunch of BB's than go find trader with bunch of caps and juz do this simple trade. While traders with lots of junk in their inventory will get overlook.

Yeah i had the same happen to me it's stupid they should only limit the amount of time you can speak to them as the time taken for that is usually constant for each player.

You can use several ways to restart the timer during a transaction, because it restarts after any successful offer. Do your shopping in 2-3 offers, instead of 1 too long. Good luck )

Its a bug I guess. It happens when you run out of time twice. If you want to barter again you need to restart the client. And while trading if you have a couple of seconds left you can always hit ESC and start barter again, also increase your barter skill and barter time will be LOOOOOOOOOOONG :)

Kizz:
Yah but why make barter time long with increase in barter skill? Isnt barter skill support to get you a better barter deal instead? You go out to shop to buy something in a shop, does the shop have a timer for the questions u ask before u make a purchase? Its more like you using your negotiation skills to get a discount from the shop! So how is this so different in Fonline 2238?

I still dont understand the reason designing this in this game? Maybe Developers or GM can share their insights further....
