Maybe there could be a regular fee to pay (daily/weekly/monthly, with cash or CE) to keep weapon and trinket slots open instead of going to boost every month to buy the silly upgrade items?
Well, there is still the problem of dealing with inactive periods, but this board is for discussing and improving these suggestions, isn't it?
Have you considered the possibility that your post is unclear?
What is unclear, pray tell?
I said I'd like to be able to pay a regular fee to keep weapon/trinket slots open instead of going to Boost to purchase the upgrades that would open the slots instead.
If you hate boost, give the energy to me and I'll buy it for you.
Or just go to AH.
In your head, what does "pay a regular fee" mean, and how is it different from paying a fee to Boost on a regular basis like you currently do?
I think he's suggesting something where the game automatically charges you to renew your trinkets whenever they fade off.
...like you currently do?
Remember that saying? You've just made an ass out of you and me.
I would hardly call that a "regular" fee regardless, since I have giant gaps in-between the periods that I do purchase my new slots.

See, this guy gets it. I was afraid I was going to have to spoon-feed this thing to you people.
You're complaining about needing to spoon-feed us explanations (all because your vocabulary is too weak to find the word "automatic" unaided), but you also feel the need to criticize me for writing "like you currently do" instead of "like one currently does [to achieve the stated goal]"?
You. SUCK. At communication. I mean, really.
As for your ill-considered idea, automatic charge doesn't play nice with the mist energy system. You're supposed to either buy the upgrades in advance on days when you're not playing (to spend your mist efficiently) or buy them from other players who do (for about 50-60 energy less than the Boost price, in the current market). You can't realistically take advantage of either of those with an automatic payment system.
I suppose perhaps there's a large enough contingent of players who are so lazy and/or stupid that they regularly pay the full price in CE to justify the development time needed to design and implement an entirely new payment system for their convenience (and the additional confusion it will cause for new players). I most sincerely doubt it, but the developers can collect statistics to tell for sure if they care.
Yeah, Khamsin gets it, but that wasn't suggested in the OP. He's guessing that's what you WANTED, based not on the OP, but on the REACTIONS of the posters and the original point and making an educated guess.
You just said, pay a regular fee. An: Without going back to boost every month. You did not specify how, where or any other such things.
Dude, it's clear to YOU because you were the one who THOUGHT of the idea. Don't blame us for not understanding it. I didn't see a phrase: 'Automatically charged fee for maintaining slot' or 'automatic renewal of upgrade' or SOMETHING.
It was unclear. You said: "Maybe there could be a regular fee to pay (daily/weekly/monthly, with cash or CE) to keep weapon and trinket slots open"
1-There is a regular fee to pay, it's the cost Boost has when you buy it off him in the first place.
2-There is no mention of what system this regular fee would be used on. Automatic charge, click a 'renew' button? Never mentioned.
you also feel the need to criticize me for writing "like you currently do" instead of "like one currently does [to achieve the stated goal]"?
You made an assumption that I go to Boost every month (which I don't) to justify your poor interpretation of my post. Yes?
You just said, pay a regular fee. An: Without going back to boost every month. You did not specify how, where or any other such things.
This isn't hard to figure out. I clearly have a problem with the current method of buying equipment slots, so there's really only one other way, and that's to pay a regular fee deducted from your CE/with electronic funds.
Also, I worded my post clearly enough: I want to KEEP the slots open. You can't KEEP them open by buying the upgrades and using them because they eventually expire and they get locked again.
So, yeah:

This is wrong.
You. SUCK. At communication. I mean, really.
No, you just suck at English.
It's just that you want to automate something that takes at most 5 mins a month.

Okay, if you think it's a bad idea, I'm fine with that. Let's talk about that instead.
I'd forgotten to mention one other detail I had in mind, and that would be to pay for keeping the slots open long-term by buying in bulk, but would cost less overall than buying the upgrades every month (yes, I want a 90% discount roffles).
But the former notwithstanding, I personally wanted this because I hate reequipping my crap after my equip slots expire.
You are making a big deal of something that doesnt really deserves it. I think you are not angry about going to boost every month, you are angry to say goodbye to ur precious ce. The system is ok, it is very simple and you only have to do it once a month. Live with it.
And dont ram on everybody for not liking your suggestion, if you make a post be ready for that.
Tupac:
Please read the thread over once more, slowly and carefully. You didn't really get the GIST of it.
Thimol:
Please read the las line over once more, slowly and carefully. Seriously dude let it go.
All right, I'll just tell you, since you can't seem to get a grasp on basic assessment skills:
The bulk of this thread was about two people who didn't understand my original post, okay? Never once did I rail on someone for disliking my suggestion, if ever they mentioned my suggestion at all.
Or did you decide to just barge in and think that you could end this argument without doing so much as reading the goddamn title?
This is kinda funny but anyway, i know what u want, i understand. You dont want to go to boost to have a another weapon upgrade, i get it. Your "solution" to that "problem" is a fee like they discount from your ce or something like that, honestly you werent too clear about that.
Now see, if they ever do that there could be problem with people who doesnt want to renew their trinkets, therefor they would have to do something about it like choosing to not renew it. You never said how it would work or nothing. This is a suggestion thread not a complaining one.
Dont you think that its too much effort for something that takes a minute of you life.
And dude relax, dont ram on everybody. Theres always a good way. If you dont like how they be hatin on your thread then dont hate either, if they say your post is unclear well explain yourself, u arent gettin nowhere like this. In ur next comment dont complain about me, instead make a clear statement on how this would work.
Ok, if I have to spell it out like you so hate having to do, what I meant was that he gets it, but what he GETS wasn't what was said in the OP.
If you think everyone who didn't get it was stupid or something, then I may as well make a thread called 'I like cookies', then rage at everyone who didn't give me a cookie, because when I say 'I like cookies' means that I want cookies.
Dude, it is a warranted reaction to say: "Isn't that already how it works?"
Then all you do, is tell them what you really meant, not go "Omg y da people da so stoopid they don boter to read wat I say?" (I know, I know, you didn't actually say that, but it's more or less what you did. 'Why people don't read? I mean, really'. Just EXTREMELY exaggerated.)
WHATEVER. Just if someone doesn't get it for whatever reason, you spell it out for them. Like a normal person. They may think in a different way or something, they may have a minor mental disability, it doesn't matter.
They don't get it, explain it so they do.
END OF STORY. :/
what i dont understand is why you dont just buy multiple upgrades at a time then. Unless I am mistaken they dont deteriorate untill you activate them, so you could buy a years worth and just let em sit in your invnetory.
Combined with the fact that boost hangs with basil in sub towns now, you dont even have to go out of your way to see him anymore.

Yes.
It.
Was.

Well, like I said, I wanted an option to pay in bulk to keep the equip slots opened over a longer period of time that would ultimately cost less than purchasing the upgrades each month from the merch.
You can actually already do this right now. Have an alt buy trinket upgrades whenever they have 100 mist, and do that for 4 days or so, discounting you 600ce for 6 upgrade slots already.
Then right click your already existing trinket slot upgrade, and choose "Extend until ~", which will make it last 1 month longer, and do it three more times. This effectively makes your slot last for +4 months. Then do the same process with additional trinket and weapon slots, with less/more extensions based on whatever you want.

Don't you need another computer for that or something? Right now, I have one other knight, and we share one ME gauge. Do I need the other to pay for its own CE?
Y'know what, nvm.
Cbf explaining something to the same person over and over again when they can't just take it.
Really, your post may have implied it, but no-where did I see even a hint of 'automatic fee' or any such thing. Regular does not equal automatic.
Not like you were even bothered to explain it when someone didn't get it in the first place...
Either way, CSB, and not gonna be posting here again. Wasting your time if you try and argue back :P
L8r.
Okay, I understand if whatever idiotic cultural tradition encourages you to be hardheaded or whatever, but if you don't understand the concept of an electronic bill when it's suggested, then I don't know what to say.
Like, maybe you could ask for a more detailed explanation, taking into account that there could be a possibility that I had something in mind that didn't involve a change that only took the effort of a noisy fart?
But then again, I suppose thinking outside one's comfort zone is asking too much.
Paypal and the major credit cards supports subscription payments. On a recurring cycle of any peroid of time. Monthly being the most common.
Is this a bad idea? Possibly, due to minors stealing their parent's credit card to get the subscription setup. But from a money making standpoint, Three Rings has nothing to lose.
Using CE as an automated payment method for weapon and trinket slots, is more complex as their would be programming work involved. It would be a good thing if your constantly playing though.
Just to confirm, you have paid $ in your "Thimol" account for CE (and/or elevator pass), correct? To do what I mentioned, you would need to make another account login (that's free of course). That new login will have its own Mist supply you can use that's separate from your "Thimol" account (assuming have spent $).

Well, I have spent money on the first account, and I already have a second free account, but the two still share their energy, as far as I know.
Hmm that's odd. You have two different login usernames and passwords for these two accounts, or are you referencing the second character you created within your Thimol account?

no
Um. There already IS a monthly fee in CE to keep weapon and trinket slots open.
So...you're suggesting that things should work exactly like they already do, except that you should be able to buy upgrades without talking to the upgrade merchant?
