The Time Traveler's Alliance

Discussion in 'Next Island' started by Corey 'GreyFox", Mar 2, 2011.

  1. Okay Time Crystals are expensive for one reason, high markup. Gathering the materials yourself is very time consuming. So why not work together?
    My idea is to get a group of people together willing to gather, each person going after just a few of the materials needed. So one person hunts drakes, another hunts chimera, etc. And another person who is able to does the quest to gather blueprints.
    The objective of this is to provide materials for free to a crafter, someone who is trusted. In exchange for gathering these materials everyone gets an equal share of all time crystals created. The crafter would hold onto the crystals until enough have been made for each person involved to receive 3 crystals.
    So who wants to see how cheap Time Travel can be if we work together?
     
  2. I am game, but also like to wait for an announcement whether a bug, and if its going to be fixed
     
  3. Count me in, I will provide Blueprints for a share of the crystals.
     
  4. Count me in too...but I would suggest until all have 6...you gotta be able to come back :)
     
  5. 4 people, 6 crystals each... with the time it takes to gather the resources and the amount of failed atempts i would be guessing your expedition will be moving to ancient greece sometime next year...

    not saying it's a bad idea, just saying it's a time consuming idea

    Would be willing to help as I already have a lot of the needed materials BUT hesitate to do anything more until someone official says in plain language that the bps are not bugged (so we gotta live with the high fail rate), and that time travel is actually implemented, so for example if I had 3 crystals right now I could go. Also for that matter, ND suggested in his role play post that there would be other ways to get them cheaper off the monkeys maybe, and Enzo also said at some point earlier something about 'other ways'.

    Good idea to try working together, I wish you all the best of luck of course, just some things to consider :)
     
  7. FYI I got an update from mindark within 24 hours of my first reply from them to let me know its being looked into still so I am sure a resolution is coming
     
  8. I am game for this if we find a way to do it so we all contribute about the same amounts so no one feels taken advantage of.
     
  9. Count Laudanum in. We are already working on a project like this so its not difficult to expand.
     
  10. hmm might be interestning once ND confirms that there is no other way to get there and that the tp there works.
     
  11. Like the idea - It is the same thing we are doing in my SOC - we already have enough mats to send 3 people on a round trip (assuming a 100% success rate on the BP)

  12. not to sound negative, but you should consider yourself lucky if you get a 10% success rate... unless today's server maintanence also alters the success rate... :|
     
  13. Lets all hope jellyfish. But I heard theres some major lag on the area in calypso they probably fixing a server link or something
     
  14. the TT value of the ingredients are low, and the TT of the crystal is 5 ped..

    have anyone tried adding a ton of animal oil residue before crafting? i know it's not a limited item, but what if it's simply that the success rate is actually very high, but since the TT of the ingredients is so low we get failures almost every time if we dont add oil residue to the window... anyone wanna try my theory out? (if it works, plix give me credit for it ;D )
     
  15. yup I tested that as well as all other residues and I even tried max condition click and got same "could not execute" so I am sure its glitched
     
  16. ok :/

    you convinced me, it is glitched.

    fresh out of ideas then.. maybe the server maintenance will fix it.. cross my fingers
     
  17. Server back up. Is it too much to ask for an update on what was fixed? :)
     
  18. Do the math a little bit eh eh now let me use the mind bending talk

    thay have a high markup and are expensive because of greedy disturbed players

    that person could have gave it a low MU but no his/her ego took the answer for it


    i dont see a problem with the idea we have now its just greedy players that spoil the game for every one else

    mind ark should ban these manipulaters and all the things that go with it


    if you want money get a real job , if you want profit go to the real stock market or open a business

    now netteler is at 500ped withdraw players will be cashing in on it so thay will be trying to sell at a higher cost for items very high MU infact

    like the netteler buggy car i saw for sale at 900ped thats a bloody joke right a good way for mindark to go bankrupt if thay take the money out thats 400ped out the system

    well we can tell with the price of cars , boats ,helis if its manipulated by greedy players

    LOOK AT WHAT YOU HAVE DONE I DONT EVEN PLAY ANY MORE BECUSE YOU DESTROYED MY GAME PLAY ,

    IM OUT GOOD LUCK TO THE MARKET DATA IT NEEDS IT

    Oh go ahead neg rep me i dont care im only speaking whats on my mind , i belive in freedom of speech , this forum is not real life but neg rep me in real life we will have a big problem
    dont live in denial you know whats wrong with the auction just say it
     
  19. See you around Boost :)

    I certainly won't neg-rep you, it's bad enough from my point of view that you can't seem to grasp that this game does not resolve around you - not me, not anyone. This is the game, these are the rules and the way it's played. We either live with them and keep on playing, or simply quit.
     
  20. Anyone try making the crystals after the update today?
