Linking Items on chat - IDEAS FOR RYZOM

#1 Added by Dullahan 11 months ago [en]

The Idea: Having the ability to Link items in the Chat

Purpose

1. Trading - If players want to sell/trade their crafted items for other goods instead of just dappers, for example, someone crafted a good amp that has 97% to most of the stats, but he doesn't want to sell for just dappers, maybe he wants to trade it for another item that he doesn't have, or specific Mats.

2. Easy way to show others your item - what would you do if someone asked for the stats of your items? you would trade and then put the item on the trade window, if you have the item equipped, you'll have to unequip it and then put it on the trade window.

There's a many more convenience this feature can do, but these two are the ones that pop out of my head instantly.

If Ryzom does have a similar feature that doesn't involve the inconvenient way of doing it that I just mentioned above, or if someone already suggested it, Please do say so.

This is a really good idea. And it's a very standard feature for all modern MMORPGs as well.
Don't know how technically challenging implementing this could be, for Ryzom, though. But you have my vote, kind person.

I will soon release an app that might help you with that.

By the way, you have to trade in person anyway, so the "inconvenient method" is less inconvenient that might otherwise be the case.

The other thing to do, if you're going to offer it up in the Bazaar section of the forums, is to take a screenie of the INFO window and post it.

One of the moments where this option would truly shine is the Black Market. People have to manually transcribe the item's stats and to flood /around with them.

Another moment where it's nice is to compare several items of similar level but with different strengths (e.g. choosing which pairs of amps to give to another person). Instead of pulling several items from storage and putting them in a trade window, you .. just link to to them.

Overall, it seems to be one of those "nice to have" things with no downside. The only shortage is in development time , so of course if it takes effort from actually important changes, then this should never be a priority..

@Moniq, can't really judge right now since I haven't seen the app in action, if it does show the stats of the linked item, then yes, you pretty much hit the nail on the head.
