How many times you've been on the run from some attacker and quickly tried to GR out and ended up dead on the GR because you couldn't find the location on the GR list fast enough?
How many times you've given 5 expensive rare parts to researcher and got back 5 parts for Paw of Tiger?
Too many. I'm not saying that this kind of things happen all the time, but occasionally when they do happen, it's very annoying. Why? Because it would be so easy to fix these things.
---------------------
1) The unarranged GR list problem.
Right now the list of GRs are in the order you get them. This can be very annoying especially when you play multiple chars and the list is always different. Solutions would be simple, either update the database on the servers in alphabetical order and keep using it, or then update the client with a small clip of code that arranges the GR list on the GUI. Fixing this would be so simple, and it would mean easier gaming for all the players so why can't it be fixed already?
---------------------
2) The "Trust noone" problem
Everytime I give my rare parts to a researcher I gotta make sure he's reliable (ie, someone I know), but even then I can't be sure that I'll get my parts back. And what will I do when I need my dear 5-slotted Holy Lighting fixed? Give it to some "repairer" who I find on the plaza? No thanks.
Solution? Tradeskill window which resembles the trade window. The customer opens trade, the repairer inserts his tool into the window, customer puts his item in the window, they both press "Tradeskill" button. And item is fixed, but it was never in danger to be stolen by the repairer. The window stays open the whole time until tradeskilling is done or cancelled. Same goes for researching.
Pros :
-Cutomer's items can never be stolen or switched.
-You can use any tradeskiller you find without the fear of losing items
-Either the customer or the tradeskiller can provide lube/cubes, by default it will be first be taken from customers inventory. No more "I need grease/cubes!" whining.
Cons :
-Tradeskilling might become a little slower than it is now
-Anything else?
But what about barter? It would need another kind of solution, and I'll let you guys think about that.
---------------------
Ok, this is just the start, if you think that there are similar small problems in the game, which could be fixed rather easily, please post them in this thread. This can be moved to brainport later but please let it get more attention on the community talk for a while.
Remember, small details make the whole.
Ps. Rate the thread (and that also means that if you love the unarranged GR list and that people are able to steal your stuff, vote low)
