Is it a time for open beta? - Thoughts 'bout bank and mail.

Postby DarkSeed » Sun Dec 08, 2013 1:59 pm

I play this game since closed beta, i saw many content added (not SO many, but nevermind), and i still see these buildings in Boston - bank and post office.

Is it a time to make them work as they should? Let the Bank deposit player's silver, instead of making "crate-chars" (i saw a n00b in JT with 20+ alts used like crates for hay, ore and other crap - WTF maaan?), and let the Post Office deliver player's mails, instead of using forum PMs.

It's not a ton of work. Devs, make it already pleeeeeeease!

Subject of the topic has nothing to do with its content. Open beta has started like a year ago

Thank you, Captain! Looks like i missed it! Now we got argopelters (bugged with K.O.-loop - in whole year) and Alchemy (still useless).

The point of the matter is that altvaults are the only 100% safe storage (up until your account with them gets hacked - easily solved by using a seperate account name which holds no connection to your other account at all). Why would we not use 100% safe storage when it is available ?

Because of chars-per-account limit will come may be?

No, guys, i think it's OK to have n00b-chars for some tasks (and silver holding, of course) - 10-12 of them. But letting players to have 100 living crates for crap holding is ridiculous.

In My Horrible Opinion, to put Bank to work will be better. Let players have silver accounts and small deposit space for lavuables with percentage fee taken on withdraw or/and putting items into storage.

Also, take a fee for dilivering letters and crates via post office - this would work just fine.

"Open Beta" may have started a year and a half ago now, but this game, in my opinion, is still at the "playable alpha" state.

Aside from the fact that they're the only safe storage around, they're also BY FAR the easiest storage to organize. Once you have all the alts spawned (pretty easy with a couple of AHK scripts), it just becomes much more manageable than having 20+ cupboards with stuff you might need someday.
