Salem

Bigger radius for clicking "Pick" when harvesting

I think Salem would be more enjoyable if this was patched.

Hopefully, one day there will be a radar incorporated into the minimap. The custom clients already have this, and you can just right click the icons on the minimap to interact with them instead.

What custom clients?
... People who altered their game client to give them an unfair advantage in the game over others?

How is this allowed? ...
Any unofficial client should be automatically banned. ... And its a huge security risk to allow random clients to float about the internet. There could easily be hidden keyloggers in them.
There's a reason why Runescape was very strict about things like that.

Besides, a portion of the playerbase would always be suspicious and might not use even clean customized clients. This would result in them being penalized for being careful, while other more reckless players who take a risk on getting their account hacked could run around with boosted clients and enjoy the benefits.

Also, radar on the minimap?
.. Hmm, one of the things I like about Salem is how hardcore it is. Surely radar would have already been included if the creator of Salem envisioned it. .. right now we don't even have a compas. Besides, if the radar showed ungrouped players it would seriously break the fun for hardcore pkers who try to sneak up on their target.

Custom clients have been used for years now in these games and everyone but you apparently use them. Jorb and loftar allow custom clients

There is another subforum specifically for modding clients and creating tools. Check it out.

Judging by this guys posting I'd bet you 3 to 1 he;s a regular poster/player who went and got a new code at Ten Ton hammer and is using this to start ****. you heard it here first.

His point is valid though, the forageables are WAY too tiny, it's impossible to use default client. There should be a general foilage image, it's rather big, easy to click and see so radar isn't so op.

Although I use and enjoy custom clients, OP has a good point. What I really want to see is J&L making a new official client that is superior to the 2 best custom ones atm and adding some sort of ban/code over the use of unofficial clients. HnH might get away with it but when Salem goes live, it could be problem.

Some of the foragebles are way too small. It's a complaint many of us have had since alpha opened up. Some of them are also extremely difficult to see without using said radar, oakworth being one. If I were to guess, many of the models and textures are still placeholders awaiting art asset production (no need to guess as it's clearly the case).

As far as using the custom clients, they're not much more help other than being able to spot them. Too often I run into a situation where one item is laying close enough to another it's difficult to click on either one.

It really isn't possible, it's java and written very similar to H&H. There are always ways to get around it.
