Some things I would like to see...

JC_THREE · 10-12-2009 09:39 AM

Before I begin let me request for no sugestion forum thataway's -->. These are some things I have seen around the forums or have thought of myself. Also before I begin I would like to know what you all think of my (and other's) ideas that I am requesting here. (in other words tell me what you think.)

1. Would it be possible to have a WW or black market access pannel in sg or vg bases. Why? Well it would cut the occasional lag at WW (I know, not very often, but still.) It would allow you to buy recipies and salvage then craft it in your base (to sell for more or slot). And it would be a handy tool.

2. Instead of a vault being a personal salvage storage, make it an inf. storage. Why? Well salvage can be stored and sold on the market. Sometimes it would be nice to store inf. and then withdraw it when needed. Also if it was account-wide you could store inf. and then get it with another toon, or with another toon on a different server.

3. I had a 3 but I forgot it.

4. For you all to tell me what you think.

Well, if you already know where you should've posted this, why didn't you? It's not the Rhetorical Player Questions forum, after all.

Well I guess you were right, but how often do the devs frequent the sugestion forums? Plus, I planned to see how much my ideas were liked and then post them in the sugestion forum if they were popular.

They frequent the suggestion forum a lot more than they frequent the player question forum.

Ok I get the point, I am sorry, and please forgive me. Once this post is gone from the first or second page of this forum I will repost it in the suggestion forum. I had heard here and there that the devs hardly go to the sugestion forums (and I just checked dev digest, no posts in the sugestion forums-although they may still go there and just read). So to sum it up I am sorry, and again please forgive me.

I think you can report your first post and then in the box request that it be moved to suggestions.

just request that it be moved. and any other suggestions you have should be put down in that section also.

and do us a favor, use the search. plenty of suggestions like these already.

For an on-topic reply. I'd literally stab a baby for 1.

I would like this as well, but who is going to pay that poor guy (or girl) to stand there and wait for you all day?

I like being able to store salvage. I put the items I need for recipes in the vault so I don't sell them by accident. On top of that I don't want to fill up my WW/BM slots with stoarge. I need them for the stuff I'm buying and selling. You can hold 2 billion inf on a toon. How much more do you really need to be able to hold? I have yet to see anything that would require you to have more than that. As for the account wide access, I'm going to leave that dead horse alone. It's been beat enough already.

What I would like to see added is storage for recipes. The base IO storage isn't an option to me anymore after I had an otherwise good teammate take 10 sets of Halloween salvage because they wanted the inf they would get from selling them. Never again will I put something I want to keep in open storage.

Heh. She'd get awfully lonely, wouldn't she?

To threadjack slightly, I've always wanted the ability to add NPCs in my base, for example a few scientists in white lab coats carrying clipboards. Maybe they could even have some customizable banter that would randomly execute.

To the specific suggestion regarding WW/BM access from the base, I wholeheartedly /sign!

With all the resources being poured into Going Rogue, I'm really hoping bases are getting some kind of love in there somewhere.

You wouldn't need a person - it'd be done via computer - like a superheroic ebay

Ok I will do this, just as soon as I learn how. Can you tell me how to do this please. Once I know how I will, by the way thanks for forgiving me.

To report a post -- click on the little triangular signpost ("Report Post") in the left-hand margin next to your original post. I THINK that's where they're suggesting you place your request for the moderators to relocate your post. (However, when you do so, a cautionary message below the text box appears ["Note: This is ONLY to be used to report spam, advertising messages, and problematic (harassment, fighting, or rude) posts."], so I'm not really sure if that's technically the way to go or not.)

As far as searching previous posts/threads goes, click on the "SEARCH" link located at the top of the page and enter keyword(s). The search function is fairly robust on this software.

Suggestions foru oh, ummm... yeah.

No. There is such a thing as TOO convenient. Travel time is a time sink for a reason.

No. Salvage vaults should store salvage. It is a convenient feature to have a personal vault. Now if you had said that it could store BOTH... then, maybe.

Also, one can already store as much Inf. as they want on the market. Simply place a bid on an item that doesn't exist. There, instant Inf storage. Also, transferring influence/infamy is also possible... it's called use the Market, or get friends who will loan $$ across servers.

Was it to suggest something that hasn't been suggested to death already? That would be a nice change of pace.

Check.

ClawsandEffect · 10-14-2009 03:16 PM

Influence storage already exists in a fashion.

Go to WW or BM, bid however much you want to store on a Set IO that is level 53. You will never buy it because they don't exist at that level. You can't transfer it that way, but you can store however much you need to. Players with ridiculous amounts of inf use that method to get around the 2 billion inf cap.

Probably will never see an account-wide bank syestem. The devs don't seem to want to make it easier to twink out low level characters with a high level sugar daddy. Their view, as I interpret it, is that it is unfair for those players who don't have a high level character to siphon money from.

Yes, I know WoW and other games have one. But, if you stop and think about it, money in CoH is a LOT easier to accumulate than it is there. And also, in WoW you generally don't see people regularly playing more than 3 or 4 characters at once, tops. We can have literally hundreds.
