Boats - Stealing Your Money
« on: July 06, 2009, 10:48:52 PM »
I want to pose a suggestion I think a lot of people would appreciate:  Could we have an added "Are you sure?" option for the boats (both around the lake and the Vistani boat) after selecting your location before sapping your money?  A few times, I've found myself accidently selecting the wrong location and immediately going "God dammit, there goes 250 / 500 gold," which I would then have to spend again to get me elsewhere.

It wouldn't hurt to have the "Are you sure" dialogue, and it would probably save a good amount of people from miss-clicking.

It's a reference to Vista having an additional "Are you sure?" confirmation before you do almost anything.

Not really worth the effort.  Besides it's kinda funny if you think about it.  Should have turned left at Albuquerque.

It's just an added dialogue option to save the potential miss-clicker.  Not really a big effort if you ask me.

Yeah. It would be nice if Rics suggestion went through.

I am naked under my clothes,


But besides that it would be a nice little thing to have, but little not really super important things end up on the bottom of the list normally :P

I am sure we will see it soon though!

I'd just, not Miss click.  Next step, an are you Sure option for EVERY conversational script.  Sell a Mushroom, ARE YOU SURE? etc etc etc..........Not a needed function.

I like this idea.  It would certainly be more entertaining than some of the stuff that makes its way into the game. 

On a serious note, Rex would feel the need to catch the Vista Churi, strangle it, and eat it raw.  That's hardcore, baby.

It's pretty hard to missclick selling an item, considering you have to either drag it to the merchant window or right click and hit sell.

Miss-clicking dialogue, on the other hand, is, well, one click away.

Actually the function that is usually equip an item becomes sell an item when engaging a merchant, more than one person has sold something dear to them that way and been forced to buy it back at a crazy rate.
So it can be quite easy if you are careless, it's happened to me.
