Upcoming features and wish list

[Ryme]

Had it pointed out that my list was very much out of date. On the plus side several of the items have since been accomplished. On the negative side, many of the items have languished, and more have come up. Still the first post on this thread kinda reflects some of my goals at the moment.

[Corrupt Shadow]

* some non-auction mall-like alternative

Yeah, I can't WAIT for this one. A Twilight Heroes "Kregg's List" or something would be funny.

[TheK3vin]

Yeah. The auction house is great, but it would be better if there was also a mall-like.

[Cristiona]

1) Multi-sending/trading: Currently, building a computer for other people spams your inbox with 8 messages (9 if they send instructions too)

2) Select All in the inbox for deleting. People with hundreds of inbox messages currently need to click every one to delete

[Cristiona]

Also, text and shelving for memento cases.

[TheK3vin]

How about chat notifications for messages, trades, buffs, etc.

[Satan]

The framework for that kinda thing already exists, even. Olaf just needs to add a notifications type to chat, and Ryme just needs to make it add a message to the chat db with the notification type anywhere he wants a notification sent.

[Cristiona]

Build multiple for computers would be nice.

[Satan]

If you have a bank account, you might be able to get a visa debit card that'll let you pay for things online directly with the funds in your bank account. Potentially anyways. The only other method Ryme's planning on is getting Amazon to work again, I doubt anything else will be too viable.

[Cristiona]

I'm not sure why PayPal isn't working for you. You can use a credit card with PayPal without even setting up an account. Combine that with a pre-paid gift card backed by a major credit card company (ie: a Visa gift card), and you shouldn't have any difficulties.

[Satan]

The thing is I dont want to use a credit card.

Both a Visa debit card and a Visa pre-paid card aren't credit cards. The debit one pulls right from your bank account, the pre-paid you put money onto the card before you use it. No credit involved, and you can still use it wherever you use a Visa credit card.

[Strlikecrazy]

Does this mean I can have a secret underground layer inside a volcano surrounded by a moat full of zombie sharks with laserbeams attached to their heads?

Wish list>
Ability to change day-time job..Its funny how u can beat up Nazi scientists, trans-dimentional beings, and insane gods yet not be able to get a better job.

We cannot have fancy jobs! It would draw too much attention to our powers!

[Harry Dresden]

Not to mention that if you got a better job, you'd probably end up having to put in more hours advancing your career. Shorter adventuring time.

[Ryme]

You've never heard of high-paid CEOs having to travel on a regular basis? Every other day is normal, but the other half of days you're out of town and can't patrol.

[Carygon Nijax]

I was thinking about that thing of quiting the day job... how about reporting sick?

wait.. didn't I posted this already?

anyway.. the thing to not to get everyday a flu... why not allowing only one quit day each REAL-TIME week... it's not too much.. but at least it won't make you twilight boss suspicious enough to fire you or call the mick

[Harry Dresden]

Ummm...if I took a "sick day" once every week, I'm pretty sure my boss could be calling me to either fire me or tell me not to get sick anymore after 3 or 4 weeks.

[Cristiona]

/announce

Like /day, /time, and /help, it would print out in the chat pane the 5(?) most recent announcements. Nobody'll use it, but when nobody reads the announcements, I could tell them to use /announce >_>

[Satan]

I'd go with 2-3. Those announcements can get long sometimes, fills up the chat.

[Cristiona]

/help is pretty long too. It's not like I'll see it if you type. But I suppose it's mostly semantics. 3's fine too.

[Carygon Nijax]

Somebody in chat said that it would be nice to have a "friend list" to list your friends in the game xD

[Ryme]

Level 10 quest. I've got a few volunteers helping with the level 11 and 12 quests, and someone else working on a major interface upgrade, among other things. Also been doodling with some mechanics ideas that might make a couple of zones more multiplayer interactive, including some drops that would generate more player-to-player interaction.

[Corrupt Shadow]

Man, now I wish I hadn't read that! G'AH!

[Ryme]

I can't accurately detect which reason makes you wish you hadn't read the list, or why you're unhappy.

[Corrupt Shadow]

Now, I know there's a lot of cool stuff on the horizon. And now I have to wait for all of that.

If it were one thing, it wouldn't have been as bad.

[Ryme]

Oh, okay. I'll be sure to work on less, then.

[Carygon Nijax]

Ryme.. just a question.. will any of the things I proposed here be implemented?

- wait. did I proposed something??-

[Ryme]

I'm not sure, and I'm not sure. I'm pretty hit or miss with player suggestions. I enjoy them, but sometimes I don't know exactly where or how to use them, or even when that's part of the suggestion, I tend to prefer to wait for the mood to strike, and for some way for me to add a little bit of my own ideas into the mix.

I believe you've been responsible for something in the game. Quijote's spear, was it?

[Carygon Nijax]

yup.. adn I'm really proud of it

[Muhandes]

Quite a number of small things were implemented. Not everything is big enough to be called an update.

[Ryme]

One: last-minute? We've got a third of the month left. There will be stuff before the month is out.

Two: as Muhandes notes, I've been doing a lot of little stuff that I haven't thought was worth posting. But as a teaser: there's a new foe that I don't think anyone has found yet, tied to a rarely used mechanic. Also, a couple of formerly unusable items are now usable.
