/updates discussion thread.

Unread post by jupider » Fri Jan 02, 2009 8:56 am

Thought I'd start a thread to discuss the game's updates, since there doesn't appear to be one (at least not one that I can post on). So my first thought is this: The links to use/equip/etc. when you get an item is super-cool awesome, but would it be possible to add a "autosell" link? 'Cuz that would be really cool, too.

Can I just say that this thread is a great idea jupider, as much as anything else it will help the game updates be more noticeable, I know a lot of people tend to miss them.

Just a word of caution though, make sure any suggestions that arise out of discussion are put in the suggestions thread.

Awesome thread idea, cheers, jupider. Re: Autosell - could be done, but how would you want it to work? Immediately autosell the item you click on?

That's kinda what I was thinking. You know, if you get something you already have that you don't need any more of. But the more I've thought about it, the more potential problems I forsee. For instance, if you get two items and want to autosell them both, what would happen after you clicked the autosell link of the first one? Should the click redirect you to the autosell page? Should you just get a message and nothing else? Should you get the "Do it Again!" link to continue adventuring? I guess there's a lot more to it that just "hai guyz can u make a lnk plz?"

Heheh, that's *exactly* why there isn't already an autosell link. I thought about it, ran into all those problems, and just decided it wasn't worth it.

Since it's really really tedious, and mostly pointless, you don't have to anything for von Noob after you reset. Seriously. Try it and see.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. And I still get my burgers and such, but what about the extra 20 turns?

S'alright. With the recent tweaking, they're not really necessary anyway. Good job, Gobb! Keep it up. :)
