Someone suggested this

It's far from perfect but at least it would be something. So who knows what will happen.

Are you insane? That's an intelligent responsible idea. What's wrong with you. Next you'll be suggesting he drop it in one of his market slots without setting a sales price.

I'd have at least 36 if I slipped to premium. Only question is whether or not they are going to count the 4 slots per server players unlocked when CoV was first released. If they do that will give many vets an extra 60 slots.

It wouldn't matter what it was called. The simple fact that it is going to restrict access to active accounts means it is going to garner backlash.

For further clarification according to the dev posts up in the discussion thread, if a free player buys anything in the new ingame store they will automatically become a premium player as well.

The only people who will be Free Players will be the ones that never spend a single dime on anything in the game.

Apparantly going free to play is more important.

No we can't.

We've been saying the same thing for years.

Standard Code Rant. Don't assume something is simple. If it were it would have been done already.

No one has said you aren't free to make this suggestion. However just as you are free to keep suggesting this till you are blue in the face we are also free to keep reminding you that you wouldn't have accidentally deleted that recipe if you hadn't turned off the already existing prompt and paid attention to what you were deleting.

No it isn't. Smash is right what we pay for is access to the game, and with the exception of microtransactions, nothing else.

Yes there is. There are actual problems and projects the devs have to work on. Your problem is one you created for yourself.

You chose to turn off the delete prompts.
You chose to rush thru deleting recipes from your inventory.
You chose not to pay attention to what you were deleting.

No I'm not. At no point anywhere in this thread have I ever said that your idea was near impossible to code. What I actually said was your idea is an unnecessary waste of time and resources, and the simplest solution to the problem you had was for you to pay attention to what you are deleting.

Not disagreeing with you but honestly how many people have the patience to do wait it out. I predict that there will be a very tiny portion of players that will choose to play solely on the VIP server.

But we've had people like that in the game for years. They are only hurting themselves by doing it. Remember when Freedom used to get locked down from population overload during special events like 2xp weekends and the one server crowd on Freedom would come here and whine because they couldn't logon?

Same thing will happen here. We will tell them they can still play on any one of the other 15 servers and if they refuse we will once again laugh at them, tell them to cry moar, and deal with it.

Ah the KittyCrusader Hypothesis. Claiming something is a simple solution when they have nothing other than their opinion to back it up.

I believe in these situations the Standard Code Rant applies.




Tripling (at the very least) the number of prompts in the game is hardly a simple solution as opposed to paying attention to what is being deleted.

Exactly. This is no different than the complaints about PvP. There is a small but obnoxious number of PvP players that gets their jollies acting like d-bags. Everyone knows they don't represent the whole PvP population but PvE players will avoid PvP zones altogether rather than risk encountering one of the jerks.

There's little to no elitism or snobbery going on, just people wanting to avoid D-bags.

Except for the regular players hogging all the good names on the VIP server.

I like Bob. It has a nice ring to it, but I'd spell it backwards.

Wisening

English

Verb

1. Present participle of wisen.

wisen (third-person singular simple present wisens, present participle wisening, simple past and past participle wisened)

1. To become wiser.

No matter how much you try to deny it you are suggesting the devs add more prompts to the game. As it stands now we have three "Are you sure you want to delete" prompts. 1 each for recipes, salvage, and enhancements.

You are suggesting the devs increase the number of delete recipe prompts from 1 to 4.

Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Ultra Rare.

And if they are doing that for recipes they'll have to do the same for Salvage.

Common, Uncommon, and Rare. Three more prompts.

Oh wait can't forget Enhancements.

TO's, DO's, SO's, and IO's.

Wait DO's and SO's are broken down into origins so we better add prompts that ask a person if they are sure they want to delete an SO or DO they can use.

Oh and let's not forget that IO's also come in common, uncommon, rare, and ultra rare varieties. Better add 4 more prompts to verify if players want to delete them as well.


And all of those additional prompts will automatically start enabled on each character so players will have to go through the list every single time and disable them. Yeah that's not going to be a PITA.



Even if the devs limited the additional prompts to just recipes and salvage they would be replacing two prompts with seven new prompts.

A much better idea will be to ignore this idea and let players pay attention to what they are deleting.

It only takes 1 second to look at what we are deleting and skip over the purple recipe.

Imagine looking at a contact list of 30+ names on it, in no specific order. The clutter feeling goes all the way back to before they even had tabs sorting our contacts. Originally we just had one long list of open contacts that was pure hell to go thru, and if you outleveled a contact before completing the story-arc it just sat there forever, and each new outleveled contact just made the list grow longer and longer. We didn't have all the features we do now like turning off xp, or Ouroborus so we could finish up outleveled contacts.

I don't see what the bad news is. To me bad news would be hearing that people are caving and paying those outrageous 3-D ticket prices.
