Summer Telethon 2017 Missed Questions

Can flyers currently be mounted on walls, or just bulletin boards? It would be great to be able to stick a flyer on any wall, whether a house wall or an exterior wall or fence that can support it.

Mountable plaques would also be a great feature. Vertical ones (on walls, etc), and possibly horizontal ones (on display tables).

 

What I'd like is to be able to access my personal vendor data through the API, or through the chat log if that's the only way to do it.

For game wide data, it would be nice to see what prices are at the time of SALE, not when they are put up.

Otherwise that data becomes a method of advertising.

 

yes they can! but it has to be flat, can't use a tree.

 

So this means deco walls too?

 

yes, just tried it on a wooden wall

 

Cool. Trees would be really nice surfaces yes... I could imagine hanging a lantern as well as flyers. (Hanging a torch on a wooden surface sounds dangerous, though !)

 

Woops, edited my post. I meant more of "force people to alt-tab out of the game" i.e. use outside resources.

 

Regardless, I would make the same point.

 

Yes on walls too

 

and columns too which is really great. I just request we could see them better. Like they stand out more. They get a bit lost in some colors they are placed on.

 

I really hope you change your mind before then. I think there will be a a lot of severely disappointed people.

GreyMouser Skye: When will "Start on World Map" go away?
By end of year.

@DarkStarr

I concur with not removing said feature, you are going to have many, many people get trapped somewhere in a dungeon for example and just turn the game off instead of dealing with running out...at least with start on world map they are still playing the game - instead of being presented the choice of not logging back into the game because if they do they're still stuck (not fun) or doing something else (fun).

 

Please do not remove "Start on world map". Why on earth would you do that?

 

welcome back, +1 respect

 

As opposed to now, where we just keep rerolling until we get what we want, or at least something that isn't worthless for the intended build, and it drives the prices up to ludicrous levels. Given that failure chances on MW and enchanting are as high as they are, there would still be plenty of chance and plenty of rarity. Not being able to choose the effect is simply another tedious chore that crafters have to wade through. Multiple layers of RNG like this is bad design - pick one or the other.

 

I don't see the Q/A posted here, or maybe it was answered already (or forgotten altogether)... but as fas the custom book covers: A book with a customized cover— when placed in the printing press for duplication— will take the same default "Blank Book" cover when replicated, i.e. the contents of the book are replicated, not the cover. Is there a way to fix this without having to spend gold for every single book copy? Or perhaps have a "Blank Book" version for each book cover pattern?

 

What if rerolling reduced durability by, say, 5?

 

The max durability damage is already a stupid mechanic, we don't need more of it. I know someone is going to say "but choices!" - except it's a false choice. The correct choice is always more improvements, durability hits just add a bunch of tedious busywork to that correct choice. A choice would be something like having to improve crit chance or crit damage but not being able to improve both. Punishing me for taking the clearly superior option is not a choice in any real sense.

If the devs can't be bothered to finish crafting, they could at least take out all the stupid bullshit.

 

I'm a bit concerned that apparently half of the questions are related to deco or aesthetics, rather than actual gameplay or mechanics.

Chaff and wheat. Smoke and meat. Fluff and stuff.

Ah well...

 

@DarkStarr Thx for the answers; Anyway when i heard the smart idea of modify the items dropped, the drop rate, the items type value etc. I told about what will happen, and i'm not a Genius, but for sure i'm a player with a few experience, for sure the igg cashflow needed to be cutted, but not that way. I don't know if who have the idea try them in game or ask some experienced player feedback about an idea, but really can't understand a lot of choice, seem really are done and tried out randomly without considerding how an idea will work or affect in game balance. Anyway all the silence before that answer was frustrating, realease 42 killed the gameplay, you can just check how many people are playing and how many hours, all those people were waiting r43, and now we will wait r44; if you check the poll i did on general, why you quitted or took a break from sota, the most answered is: "
Feeling of waste time due to the hard farming, grinding etc. neeeded for all without a return. ". Anyway https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/f...ng-or-stopped-to-play-sota-poll-inside.92564/ this is the poll, and yeah we all know we are in an early access but calculate a balanced cashflow don't need to break the game, and btw now the cashflow was down to 6k, figure out how it impact don't need a master in economy, another thing that hurt is when in a patch note you read of inexistent balance or fix, that is just crazy.


In any case thx for the answer and i'll wait the next patch to play or the Q3, cause to break down the economy someone neeeded a few minutes, to get us back some fun maybe will take month?!

P.S. Yeah i feel velenous.
