Author Topic: Gui, Menus, Items and other Tweaks. ( fast fixes yet important )  (Read 1975 times)


- At the request of GM's I will clarify and explain why these suggestions should be implemented asap.

1) Items like radios need to stack in all menus. - 1a)because radios are dumped into trader inventory and they currently do not stack making trading nearly impossible with the 30 second time limit.

2) All traders should be able to deal with multiple players at once and increase trader timer to 60 seconds or make the timer reset when you set an object in the offer menu.
 ( I have to say this is borderline the most annoying thing I've ever dealt with in any mmo menus )

-- 2a) because 30 seconds is not nearly enough time to do any type of barter or trading period.

3) Skill menu should not stop you from right clicking to swap to other cursors ( move, attack ) and should not stop you from moving or attacking. ( 3a) I've died at least once by pressing S instead of A and the skill menu pops up and stops me from clicking. )

4) Cooldown on crafting weapons and armor should be reduced by half. ( currently it goes up to over an hour wait time just for making 2 t1 weapons ( IE Grease Guns ) )
4a) because I should never have to wait over an hour to craft more then a couple of t1 weapons or armor ever. this is a waste of everyone's time and is not nearly a good balance method

5) Cooldown on picking up junk should be reduced by half.
5a) because junk is a very commonly used item and in high amounts ( IE need 3-5 for most objects ) and picking up a max of 6-7 per 20 mins is annoying and a waste of time to walk across the wastes for such low amounts.

More suggestions to come- reserve

Stackable radios? Suggested and answered zillion times.

@Wire - I'm suggesting you do some tweaks on specific things and make the game much more enjoyable and easy to deal with and use. what other category would this thread go under it is a suggestion to change things.
--
@Wipe - If radio stacking was suggested a zillion times you could have fooled me because they still aren't.
- Evil Barter timer? My character is not evil, I should not have 30 seconds to rummage through 100 guns and find one that I want to buy and then rummage through 100 of my guns and rush to put them all in the menu before it auto closes.
-Unfortunate to hear about engine limitation on menus, I guess I will have to stick to rebinding keys then.
-Again what do you mean Evil cooldown? I should have to wait 2 hours real life time to craft 4 t1 guns. and again if it was suggested to be change so damn much then why isn't it hot patched? it's small but pisses alot of people off like barter timer.

Also this is a suggestion thread, not a " will the devs ever make radios stack able" thread it is not a question thread.

I don't want to sound rude but you act like I'm out of line posting about things that need to be changed when I see no roadmap of things to come from the devs.

You post about things that was discussed many,many times [one of them is even older than this forum] and answered in every possible way, including PMs, IRC, mail, mumble, bottle messages and pigeons.

Making yet another thread about same thing will change nothing; everything have its own place on "todo" list or is changed with every bigger update. I hope this "more suggestions" will be something actually new, not just another copy of old thread which you missed just like "Search" button.

You dont ask, you dont propose, you just say to devs what things they "should" do, mostly not bothering even explain why in your point of view it should be done, nor even asking other players.
As also Wipe mentioned, it was already discussed more than couple of times, and those idas either stay in mind, or rejected.

Or ignored.
Now i think there's no sense to explain important issues to certain developers in reasonable matter anymore. It will be plainly ignored.
Instead, do more bitching. The more bitching about a certain thing occurs, the more apparent it will be to the community and then apparent as a public opinion to the devs.

Keep it up.

do you know there's some evil bug with crafting : if you have materials for 2 items in your inventory when you craft 1, your crafting cooldown will go very high.

you should be able to do more than 2 grease guns no ? P90 is only 23 minutes cooldown.

Well, not for 2 items, if you have for 2 items, then you'll get x2 CD, if you have for 1.5 items you'll get x1.5 CD ^_^
1 metal 6 gunpowder for 10mm JHP, it gives ~4 minutes CD.
If you have 1 metal and 8 gunpowder, it'll give like 6 minutes.

Why cant you just give the trader 1 cap everytime the timer reaches like 5 seconds or 10?  ....

so just have my brahmin carry all my crafting equipment and waste my time bartering with brahmin to craft 1 item at a time to not get a massive un-needed cool down that wastes my time? thanks.

this cooldown needs to be way less harsh, gun smiths and armor smiths need to be able to outfit their entire gang without having to wait 2 hours real life.

It's a bug which isn't fixed yet.
