When expectations meet reality.
During last Gree event the amount of sales significantly increased during the 2nd half of the event.
This time however I couldnt observe such a development.
I assume that this is related to the long easter weekend where people have more time to grind and dont have to rely on market sales.
Only yesterday I noticed a slight increase in sales (not enough to make my excited).
However, expectations vs reality can also work in the opposite way.
My massive investment in large amounts of specific commodities (which so far I couldnt sell back with profit) has lead me to the expectation of roughly 20 mio credits losses.
While I was cleaning my inventories and organizing the special items I also transfered the money that was spread over the 12 chars to my main char just to notice that instead of 20mio losses I made 25mio profit over the past month. A welcome surprise.
I lost a bit the overview since I always was buying commodities with one char but transfered them to the other chars so I can sell more items (by bypassing the sales limit per char).
I knew that I made a few very good deals but thought that the continious investments would have eaten up all the profits.
I am wondering if I should try to get an unstable lightsaber (they cost almost 70mio credits now).
Well... maybe I will just wait and hope that someday they are for sale at the cartel market. 70 mio is too expensive.
When they are for sale on the cartel market I give my lightning tuning back and use the cartel coins for that light saber. The lightning tuning is worth less than 70mio credits on the GTN.
I had a bit time to try the the Sith Inquisitor storyline (Lightning Sorcerer). I am always surprised how different these classes are and how different the storylines feel.
The dark side usually isnt something I would identify with but its really fun to play.
My Sith lady is really badass. Not many quest NPCs survive the cutscenes. Everyone who disagrees with me gets electro-shocked or struck down by my lightsaber. Vader never was such an evil bastard.
Its also interesting that my master tried to kill me but failed. Now she has to follow my orders. The next higher ranked Sith lord wants to kill me now.
The Sith Inquisitor storyline makes you paranoid.... either you kill or you get killed and potentionally everyone is a threat.
Oh, and I meanwhile have a Jedi padawan after I killed her master. She still believes in the light side but her anger grows. Ill give her some time, she will taste the darkness.
Generally I am very surprised that the class stories never get boring. They so far have very different styles and offer different motivations to play.
The Jedi Knight is the great hero who challenges the emperor and fights his way though the imperial forces.
The Jedi Consular on the other side goes the more diplomatic way and tried to find allies which fight together for the republic.
The Smuggler is the troll who constantly makes bad jokes and poses while chasing the guy who stole the smugglers ship. Smartass holo chats with the enemies and some illegal activities included.
The Soldier is driven by duty and the task to catch criminals and traitors.
And now the Sith Inquisitor is driven by gaining more power and trying not to loose it.
