"Far Unlocks" patch
Posted: 30 Jun 2017, 15:29
Adds two quest options.
"Allow Far Unlocks" allows the player to unlock any set, regardless of distance.
"Unlock Distance Multiplier" is a multipler that gets applied for each step the set is further away, starting after the fifth.
For example, if it's at the default of 1.25, that means, the first five sets on the list will have the default cost. The sixth costs 1.25 times more. The seventh costs 1.25^2 more, the next 1.25^3 and so on, the multiplier is capped at 500 to prevent overflow, but if there is demand for higher (default card price data has some crazy numbers, you can actually expect to be able pay the 2 million for the 500x multiplier), it can easily be changed to a different number before adding the patch.
It's important to note that the order in the window counts. This means if you already did some "far" unlocks, your list might put sets you'd expect to be cheap at a high price. Why? Because with 3 distant sets, there are 3 times as many sets at a "near" distance to you, that get put in front of your intended set. So when doing far unlocks, keep that in mind and don't expect the set that was 5th on your list to stay there. It might get pushed down by another 5 or even more slots, as sets close to your new unlock are added to it.
