DVB*
* Dynamic Vendor Balance: a mechanic that changes the prices of goods and services for each specific NPC based on supply and demand from players.
Here we publish our response to the lively discussions (data relevant as of the patch note writing):
- There are 7 herb vendors in Dwarrhan: the one in Harbur is overloaded by 8.5 times, while the one in Camlasse — by 2.3 times;
- Herb vendors are an alternative to gathering herbs in the world. It was initially intended that they sell herbs at inflated prices to those who do not want to gather/trade with players;
- In Dwarrhan, there are 4 metal refining NPCs: in Harbur, they are overloaded by 6.6 times, while in Buddre, their balance remains unchanged.
Near-term plans for DVB:
- Information about NPC workload, "quality" of quests will be added to trade/processing and quest windows, allowing for quicker assessment of the situation;
- The recovery speed for each DVB NPC will be dynamic, making NPCs more unpredictable;
- Traders and some processors will be added to Black Zones (whether they will be random is still undecided);
Changes to the roadmap will be published in the coming week.
