Logging out is only a problem because of the reoccurring download glitch

True.

I feel like at this moment the devs are really busy plus it might be really difficult to add that in.

Also true.

However, I think @caleb_Larkmagnet1's idea would be great down the road. That would be highly efficient and would probably tend to more game time per user. I know when I hit the logout page to switch, I usually end of quitting since I don't feel like putting my username and password in to change characters.

Would definitely be a big plus for the lazier-ish people like me.

It also might stop @Sierepica_Fuzzywalker from logging in with two characters at once and breaking the game as a result.

If the iPad version ever gets updated (give that another 4 years) that change would be a must for increasing mobile engagement. Nobody wants to relog to change characters while they are sitting at the dentists’ office.

I have an idea for making you get less stuff that you have 999 of.
If you take the loot table for something which could be 50% pipe and 50% cog then divide the chances by how many of each item you have, then subtract the total chance for an item from 100% and then distribute that among all the options; for example, iv you have a loot table of 50% chance for a cog and 50% chance for a pipe and have 100 pipes and 0 cogs then divide them by the respective number(unless it's 0) and you would get 50% chance for a cog and .5% chance for a pipe, then subtract 50.5% from 100% and get 49.5% and distribute that among the options and end up with 74.75% chance for a cog and a 25.25% chance for a pipe.
This would work well since it scales and you still would have a 100% chance for an item. This would need refining, but I feel like it would make a lot of players have an easier time getting items.

Yes. My thoughts exactly, homie.

Fellows? Please?!

I think it may be time for the Aethesian flurries to DIE.

It's almost spring and the snow is pretty much gone.

[Jayhawk_Greencape]

It'd be cool if the game sorta randomly chose a weather pattern based on the season and everywhere reflected that. (Except for rain when the engine's full in the snowmoors)

[Eerie_Coppernight]

It would be nice to see some flowers.

[Jayhawk_Greencape]

Other than the ones on the trees?

[Eerie_Coppernight]

Yes. I have a weed yard and the wildflowers come out around spring. Why anyone would want a perfectly manicured lawn when they could have violets and other things is beyond me.

[Jayhawk_Greencape]

Why have one when you could have both? :0)

[Eerie_Coppernight]

Because lawns are high maintenance and boring to boot. When I get a home, I'm going to let nature take my yard. I'm also going to buy all the extra Christmas trees from this one florist after the holiday season is over and plant them in my front yard. Roots and needles will be welcomed and lawnmowers will be dismantled for parts.

[Sierepica_Fuzzywalker]

I shall confess to wanting a front lawn entirely composed of barrel cacti. Naturally, they grow together and could form a formidable barrier to unwanted canine visitors.

The Snowmoorian cacti are very strange, but since they exist, I presume other succulent plants could be admitted in-game. The presence of barrel ones in Evercity could suit Lucky’s twisted sense of humor.

This has probably been done before, but it's kind of a frustration for me.

Profession restricted clothes;

• Keep them the way they are
• No clothes should be restricted
• There should be a couple outfits that are themed for certain professions and can only be worn by someone of that profession, but most clothes should be accessible to anyone

Duplicate outfits with different powers:

• No
• Yes
• Other (please explain)

[Spector_Otterquill]

Anyone can wear but you don't get the buffs.

[Jayhawk_Greencape]

Wow, I need to explain my answers.

• Profession wise (I'm going in poll order...), I think they're fine now, Emily saying 'Shiny' makes TONS more sense, however, I do believe that they should be improved along the way to Revelation. I believe that the Academy would be a good place to do that if the resistance has a hidey-hole there.

• I think the autos make more sense being harder. Let's face it, with no training, you shouldn't be able to take out a patrol of autos! However, I think the new autos need revisions as some (i.e. the crash variants) just don't seem needed.

• For the weapons, how they have it makes since, however, I would say that you shouldn't get the weapon (At least from leveling up) until you can use it. If you do make it, you should be able to use it, but with decreased damage dealt as you don't have sufficient training yet to wield it best. What would also be cool is if you can have a 'hotbar' of weapons, but you can make extras and level them up to be better.

• Let's not forget what this wondrous game is for. I think the focus has rather turned away from the gospel. I really enjoyed the parallels, and I think taking even a few away is damaging the integrity of the game. :0)

• New items... I think that some are too rare! I mean, how is anyone going to be able to craft the 'new and improved' urchin's patchwork if we can't get more than one of anything new other than crystals (Which still seem to rare) and cans! (Also, devs, PLEASE make iron more common, or at least fix the lagoon glitch.)

• As for crafting plans, old suits shouldn't change! (I like the repair option though!) I also think that, new items for new outfits. Also, (devs, I know you'll have to get to this eventually) the clothes actually need to look new. I also think that changing the major storyline's quests slightly to match the profession would make sense. (i.e. a soldier has more fighting quests, while a mechanic has more 'fix-it' quests) Just an idea! :0)

• Rewards... I think that it makes since for the rewards to stay how they are as the professions are obviously going to have different clothes. I think that the rewards for the first 1-2 levels need to be fixed though. I don't want 3 of the same thing that doesn't do anything! :0) I think for storyline, the rewards must also be upgraded. give the plans along with the item! (It would also be cool if the main quests gave bigger buffs?)

• Auto health/weapon damage: Once again, this makes since. Autos are understandably strong (they're metal after all...), and you're actually taking understandable damage! You should not be unphased by getting shot in the chest! ;0) Weapon wise, I think the damage is fine, and I like how the damage dealt (basically) goes up with your level now. I do think that some profession-specific weapons may be in order.

• (Now we move to @Amelia_Lightgear...) I kinda explained my views on this above, but restricted clothes makes sense. It also makes sense that veteran users would have different/special clothes. (Make the old clothes the new exploded hat!)

• (Back to @Beth_Applemine :0) ) No. Absolutely NO duplicate outfits. The powers are GREAT, but they shouldn't be on duplicates. :0)

This concludes my rant explanation. :0)
