That would mean that people with perfectly slotted gear still have to pay attention to their clothing if they don't want them to be distroyed.


Ah, I apologize. A durability system in that sense would be nice. But it is what I would consider a punitive change and we feel Salem is punitive enough right now so we are avoiding those for now.

Not really, it would be really rewarding for crafters and traders.

I may make a poll on the subject. I'm skeptical to say that the majority, at this stage of development, also wished that their items would naturally decay as well over several other pressing issues.

I've moved the discussion of characters not being able to log out to the Ideas & Innovations thread. If you're going to discuss an idea in depth, that's the best place to do it; it's also the best place to get an idea noticed if you really want us to consider it in the future.

Thank the light, I have always been so sick of announcement threads getting derailed by discussion of game mechanics.

The name of seasonal stall suggests that items will change in there only a few times a year, or should we expect it to be more common than every few months? Will there be an announcement? I try to avoid going to town as it often makes my computer crash, sometimes a trip there and back can be 3 reboots.

Expect the contents to change more than once a month but not more than once a week. We will announce major changes to it, but may not announce it every time. While I am sympathetic to your computer crashing on trips to Providence we are looking to make more and more reasons for players to congregate in town other than simple trade. This is primarily to help facilitate opportunities for more social interaction.

Please note that we do not consider "Nice Things" to be a patch. Nice Things will be our method to keep things interesting between patches which are currently slated to always be weeks, not months.



I know patch has been delayed, but any update on seasonal stall?
