Now I consider the personal caravans as the light and fast versions which can move faster than a player can run. I don't know if fighting while riding a pet is possible so those fast caravans might have good chance to survive, depending how are balanced. Maybe are also more fragile and can be ambushed.

Personal caravans is what we saw in the stream. They are slow as fuck. And mules should supposedly be even slower, cause otherwise literally no one will use caravans at all.

Everything else is pve currency, because it comes from pve.

Your artisan will not be able to give glint to your PvP alt and it will not be able to receive citizen currencies to buy some ingredients from NPCs. The pvp alt would only need gold, because that's what you'd be buying gear with (that's if you're not sending it gear directly). We don't know if stolen glint will be usable for the same purposes as normal one, so it's unknown if the pvp method of acquiring glint will even work as desired.

And if commodity multipliers are not as crazy as they currently seem to be - no one will use personal caravans at all.

I don't think transporting resources with caravans is a good idea. how would you transport resources then? The same way they reached the node. It's not like I walk in the forest mining stone and cutting wood followed by a caravan.

Raven016 wrote: » For me the mule system is any mount which has large inventory, faster than a caravan which is a vehicle. Mounts which are meant to run fast should have less inventory space and while technically can be considered mules I would call them just mounts. And being half protected by corruption is an advantage for gatherers.

This also implies that if there is commodities for sale at black market, they'll probably be more expensive with stolen glint in my perspective. Which means that it's only meant for gold. And that could, in theory, lessen the amount of pvp attacks (both ow and caravans). I'm curios what kind of type of glint will we get after destroying a node. Will it be stolen or pure. Cause getting pure glint would be a nice motivator for sieges. Less pvp in the ow would mean more glint hoarding for those who farm a lot, which means higher reward for sieging them. I guess I'd be somewhat more ok with the system if it promotes more node sieges, so that'll be my feedback if Intrepid stick with glints as a feature.
