Queston for Qixter and the devs

I doesn't have to be a pop-up window. What about a blinking icon in the corner of your screen, by the shop. You click it to bring up the window, that way you don't have stuff pop-in up while you are fighing. If it flashes you have double ring and can opt to selvage them right then and there. It could reset when you log off.

That's true. Not even necessarily a blinking icon. Maybe even set it so you hear a little jingle and the icon lights up. Like when you finish off a quest and the quest log lights up.

Well why changing the whole system for a user who is too lazy to press the salvage button? x.x
If you want to get this rings only as orb drops, then the system would have to recognize the fact that you have all those rings.
What would be if you would accidently salvage a ring and never be able to get this as a drop again?
Prices on mp are pretty high, to buy a new ring each time someone accidently presses salvage.
Besides some of the players have unbinded rings which they want to sell and not to keep, but they don't own all 40 non binded rings so far, would you want them to use their non binded rings because of such a system?
Not to mention that the devs already work day and night 7 days a week to get zomg out of beta and to debug it.
I honestly doubt that we would need such a feature.
Bug fixes would be much nicer if the devs have spare time for special features.

edit: cl 1 ring drops or not would not make a big difference, unless for those who accidently would salvage a cl 10.0 insread of a 1.0 ring -___-

True true.

Perhaps not coding it when you're fighting. Perhaps setting it up for when you're in the null chamber.

Set up some kind of option that would work, but could still be turned off if you wish. Maybe not exactly as I was suggesting. But an autosalvage feature that can be set at the players discretion(like if they want the option of autosalvaging drop rings that are of a lower CL then the same ring.)

It should be set up how the player wants it. Or just turned off all together.

An auto salvage system could work..

Easier though, methinks, to simply fudge the drop rate, and allow individual ring C.L.s to be altered.

I believe I said do away with the selvage feature. It would not be need anymore if you only get the 40 rings. And this other idea about having the option to selvage while in game is a really a good idea. It would save time and it would great for "lazy people" like me that don't want to spend time sitting in the Null to selvage, or that plan out forget about doing it. X . X

But as some people have stated. They like having the option of having multiple rings of the same one.

You shouldn't punish one group to appease another.

That's why I'm running on this idea. People who just want the orbs can salvage while on the fly, and those who want to keep the ring or wait to salvage it at a later time still have the old way to do so.

That way, both parties profit and neither have to suffer.

Yeah, it's a good compromise. smile It's too bad some people can't disagree with someones idea without becoming insulting. Compromise is not a bad thing and this is just a discussion. Not likely that Qixter will ever even see it or act on it.

Maybe users should have the options to:

[__] Turn off ring drops.
[__] Turn off salvage.

Personally, I like being able to salvage rings. One ring dropped in SS can give 35+ orbs from salvaging it. Obviously it'd mess up the game if monsters regularly dropped that many orbs.

That being said, I have accidentally salvaged a 10 CL ring before. I was salvaging other rings and accidentally took out my defib. Took me months to get a new one. crying (If you only ever got one drop of each ring, I'd have been screwed.)

Actually, what would probably be best is if the devs made it so you couldn't salvage a ring if you only had one. That would deal with the initial problem of new players accidentally killing their game chances. (Though they might be able to get ring drops in a crew?)

I thinks it's a nice idea, though I think that the fact that they ask you before if you really want to salvage the ring, before you press ok.
Just check the cl of the ring before salvaging wink
Same happened to me twice already (even salvaged a non binded hack ring once v.v ) but this all only because I was in a hurry to help some newbies who were rushing me <.<
And turning off the ring drops would mean that you won't get any ring drops at all aka. no orbs wich they include, right?
I think providing an option to turn off the recipe drops is much more necessary than those ring options.
Although if the dev team would be bigger and they had much more time, then I guess such a feature wouldn't hurt.
But considering the fact that there are like tons of bugs which have to get fixed, new features which they wanted to release but have no time to work on them, it seems that players could easily play without such features wink

Because it's not necessary to make rings not drop
Think about it
If you have a weapon in ANY OTHER GAME, unless it's acquired through a quest, you can get multiples. This applies for all items: potions, food, weapons, armor, loot
Because making a code for a ring to just drop once is quite frankly pretty dumb
It's a very low priority to personalize this, because it doesn't help with gameplay, and it's not necessary. THey have better things to work on
In addition, they'd then have to bring back the monstrous amount of orbs being dropped
And we all know the horrors that came from that
I personally don't care that a million rings drop, it's annoying, but handleable
I would rather be able to salvage multiple rings at once rather than having to go through the whole process
But that's my though

....
By the way, what the hell is "selvage"?
