Character Login

I'm sure this has probably been mention, so if it already has, sorry but it should be mentioned again. When you login and select your various toons on a server it would be helpful to be able to check information about character without having to login in.

Examples:
Check influence amounts, check salvage, enhancements and recipes etc. Sometimes i have something stored on a toon and end up having to login / out/in/out trying to find the perticular toon, really frustrating and time consuming.

Plus it would be helpful if some basic account adjustments could be made from here, maybe a server global storage system, so you can swap items between chracters without loggin in. Since people trade inf/salvage back and forth now, I dont see this as game breaking, just would make the whole process less irritating, time consuming and remove the chance of all the abusers of this. Who steel influence/recipes or what have u.

Now it requires bothering a friend/sg member or a stranger and taking a chance, log in/out/in or trying to use Wentworths to exchange money, either through the use of selling and storing salvage or trying to buy cheap items at a much higher price and hope to not actualy give someone else your money. Since it is always going to happen, and the nature of oplaying multiple characters leads to getting items other toons can use that you have etc, I find it hard to believe this wasn't added to the game a long time ago.

Though if nothing else, if I can just see what each of my toons have without loggin in atleast that would be some help.

This sounds a lot like the oft-requested City Vault, which has so far been held back by technical limitations. As I understand it, too much information is sent back and forth for the server to handle it without slowing down.

Since a static xml dump could be done upon log off and allow viewing of this information at login screen, 0 information would need to be sent if that was the limitation. Or generated upon login if the system could handle it.

And as far as the server limitations of transfering data this is also easy, allow for 20 queued transactions from login screen / without them taking place until finalized, so again no information being sent and then queued for completion, wouldn't have to take place immediatly or in real time.

There are always ways to do things if the will and effort are there.

Actually City Vault was halted because of the 3rd party programming they had used to make it. That 3rd party kept changing things, and interrupted how it was all going to end up.

They may still be able to salvage the idea, just not using that company and program.

And where exactly are you getting the "xml dump" from? You're assuming that's how it's done...

I agree with the general idea of being able to see actual information on your characters at the login screen. Last night, for example, a friend was running the Midnighter arc, and I wanted to bring a character who needed the badge along on it... so I had to log in and out until I found one. I also often want to play a character if I have friends in their level range on, which I can only find out by logging in.

Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.

Yes to seeing information without logging in.

No to being able to transfer without logging in.

Also: what Zekiran said. Just because you know how ONE system works doesn't mean you know how THEIR system works.

Also, I want City Vault still. But I don't think we will ever get it. It was nothing more than a big screw up.
