Missing on hand item after update

Boy I can't wait until he finds out his raggy dolls are all gone.

Yes, that's exactly what happened. This sucks, and I'm sure nothing will be done about it. I can see now why there are practically no players in this game anymore. They should have given some better warning of this if they knew it was going to be a problem. An in game announcement before the server went down would have been a lot more helpful than to hope your players read a forum message. This game is worth exactly every penny I paid to pay it, which is zero.

I can understand your felling. The truth is I'm same like you too for the first time playing Salem. I playing online game for more than 10 years and very rare open a forum website. And if I must coming to forum usually I just read it. But this is Salem . If I'm not read forum and lost an info about the game, that's my fault. They think I was a spy because I was not post anything at the forum . I hate that fact too but as long as I want to play this game, I must stick by to it

Very funny. Do you want to unruin my character now?

[Thor]

That cap went to a right place.

i lost 2 tools. not the first time and certainly will not be last. just have to be thankful it was not far more

the dunce cap is a achievment (not a bad thing JC wants it to make look, since it looks cool and unique and also has no negative effect) and you should be happy u got one

[Cheena]

JC you can't really expect people to all read the forums. There was a good point in this thread about also posting a warning in game.

I can expect anybody who wants to know what ways the game is changing and how it will effect their character to read the official game forums.

I will not spam in-game to accommodate those too lazy, ignorant or indifferent to read the announcement section.

If you don't care enough about your character to spend 5 minutes, once a month, to familiarize yourself with the changes on the horizon, then I don't see why you should be immune to the effects of a patch.

You don't have to spam. Just create a Announcement board that works just like signs and write stuff on it, like... "if you don't read forums and then come to cry about what I already said, you'll get a dunce cap" :p

This is unfortunate. How much have you missed out on because you haven't?

To sum this whole thing up:

The big commercial games have people on staff to produce websites and inform players as well as keep people on staff monitoring every little detail. This takes extra people, though, and that means more money in salaries. Independents can't afford this as developing games takes a huge amount of effort. The independents that have done these things have effectively formed their own little publishing company because they can afford to do this from selling tens of thousands or even millions of copies of a game.

edit: As much as I'd love to see a game like Salem become huge, it probably never will. Games don't have to be commercial successes to be a success. There's more to life than money, and games are (should be) done as art first, not on whether or not it's going to make money. Commercialization of anything is the first step to ruining that thing.

Moved from Bugs to CuaH. Not a bug, just a whine thread.

Yes, there will be an NPC in Town who will hopefully educate players that they will most likely permadie to something they don't understand if they don't read the forums.

how about a way to open forums in game?
