Please make it easier to find the town crier

For example have him show up as Point of interest when you visit the town
Would make it much easier to hunt for empty lots.

 

not to sure why they aren't all just placed by the entrance to each town instead of hunt the cryer.

 

Good post. Totally agree.

Presently the town criers seem to be established at one consistent point. But that point is not always the entrance to a player owned town.

 

I too have had issues finding them at times and would pefer them to be where you enter the zone

 

Remember that town crier is ALSO a banker. POT owners might want to save the bank NPC building, rely on the crier, and put him near the city center, so to let inhabitants take advantage of their banks without having to go up to the scene entrance to deposit/whitdraw junk there.

 

I think the town crier should be shouting across the town all day, so all we should have to do is listen for the shouting, and we'll easily find him. If that is implemented, this thread wouldn't be an issue.

 

If it was up to me, town criers would be walking back and forth along a pre-defined path from the main town entrance to the central plaza, through the main road, swinging a huge bell and yelling. Pretty much like... well... town criers used to do.

And they would wear a very showy uniform, so you couldn't really miss them.

 

It would make sense to have a barker's stand or something for them, so they are readily located

Also... that's what Santa does the rest of the year?

 

And for when the town crier goes home and to bed there is a notification wall of sorts?

 

That, and a 24 hours service can be put in place if a second NPC takes on the night shift (without the noisy bell I presume).

 

I have to say that town cryer would be hard to miss in that colour uniform .

 

Yes! Perhaps the night shift could carry a large lantern.. We do have these already.. Let them use them!

 

to right if he has the bell in the picture above nobody will get any sleep including people in the next town

 

Speaking about loud noises, I hope there is something that can be heard from the other side of the city one day. Minding your own business and suddenly (volcano rumbles?) I guess they would have to be pretty rare!

 

By the way, I can't seem to find the town crier in Etceter. I ask around, and they all tell me, 'Molly is at the docks.' but the only ladies i see near the docks are pilgrims..

 

Molly is a faun

 

I have asked a few times to have the Town Crier / Banker NPC be renamed something along the lines of "<town name> Visitor Center" or "<town name> Greeter" or something that denotes him as a specific NPC that all POTs are required to have (as well as PRTs).

It is my hope that this NPC will be tied to the "choose your town's entrance point" feature coming soon, so that when players enter a town, he's not only the first NPC you see, but he may be set up in a little booth, or next to an open cart like Shandy Chapman, etc.
