Changes that need to be added asap

Postby fishmaster166 » Mon Feb 04, 2013 6:25 am

Hi, I'm a fairly new player and somewhat cowardly because I am posting on an alt account, but either way I have a point to make that I feel is very reasonable and valid.

There are a few things to this game that I feel are VERY important to make changes to ASAP before the implementation of future content. First thing is being able to delete a character. Every game should have this. Second thing is being able to, after deleting a character, naming a character the same name. I haven't tested this out personally but apparently even if you go to the trouble of "deleting" (hiring somebody to killing your character, I know, convaluted right?) your character, the game won't let you rename your character the same as your older one. We all make mistakes and sometimes we just want to begin anew, so this needs to be changed. Third, the buying silver idea is asinine. This game is PERMA-DEATH. Already this says there shouldn't be monetary in game transactions for real life money, but to make matters worse it's overpriced in terms of buying of the silver AND overpriced for the items themselves. 250 silver for a snake anedote... really? Why would I waste 250 silver when I could just stuff my items away in a chest and then wait until I die then travel back to it? So silly.

Lastly, I feel like Salem right now is one of those games where whoever has the best mods wins, kind of like WoW. I know it's a weird comparison to make, but in Salem if you have certain mods you are EASILY more efficient and sometimes even know things that players without the mod straight up can't know without it or has a much harder time doing so. (Ender Mod's radar, much harder to spot on screen than on minimap, obviously.)

These things really upset and bug me, to the point when I think or play Salem it just gives off an Alpha-staged game that nobody should be playing in terms of progressing. Until these things get fixed I am ignoring Salem, as in not playing, acting in the community, or paying for it. I don't think is a very subjective idea and should be changed in any game like this that has this problem.

I am making constructive criticism, not trolling or badmouthing another player. That isn't sockpuppeting, but even if it was or is MY POINT STILL STANDS.

These suggestions have been made many times in the past and the devs have heard them all, this I am 100% sure of. In the future please either post with your main account, or use this account from now on for posting.
By the way, just add a space to the end of your name to get the same name as your old character

I agree but it's a feature the devs feel will cause people to accidentally lose everything no matter how many safeties and checks they put on it.

Losing a name can make a loss feel like a bigger deal than items, stats, or property at times. It definitely adds something to the game.

Commercialization is necessary for the success of the game unless you have a different profit idea in mind.

The same reason why they haven't fixed ram bugs in haven, the planets have not yet aligned and Jorb's horoscope keeps telling him to take long walks on the beach

Play nice in the InI section. =)
There are limited development resources and what you feel is a top priority and necessary for the game, clearly the devs do not. At the moment development is primarily being focused on siege, combat, and defense of property.
