IS Depot as the home for all things IS

I would like to suggest that the IS Depot be used for all IS purchases AND gifting.

As all characters have IS Depots now, it should be easier to gift FROM your depot to any other account's depot.

ie, there's a sale on permanent backpack tickets and you stock up. Since you can't use more than 1 bp ticket on a single toon, you leave the rest in the depot. A friend, later on, confides that they really need one. You gift directly to your friend's depot & they grab that permanent bp ticket on the toon they want it on.

so.. process would be:

1. Purchased stuff from IS goes to IS Depot
2. Player grabs IS stuff from their IS Depot
2a. For a particular toon: log in as toon, grab loot
2b. For another toon ( gifting ): log in as any toon, select item(s) in IS Depot and click gift to toon
2c. For another account ( gifting ): log in as any toon, select item(s) in IS Depot and click gift to account

Of course, you would probably be good friends w/ someone to directly gift to their IS Depot since you'd need to know their account name.

I love the idea that whatever you buy stays in the IS Depot unless you need it.

They should remove their depot thing that broke the gifting option in the item shop and just send us the items in the mail as they did in previous years, tyvm.

Stop breaking stuff that didn't need fixing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :pillepalle:

This feature is actually coming to all GF games (and already launched on a few without problems). But alas, RoM is different and problems arise. So no, the feature is here to stay as far as I know now.

I personally love the feature. I can't answer why it's only for wheel items, but there's gotta be a reason somewhere.

Would be cool to have the depot just replace IS bag, so you can put all your IS stuff into the depot, and name your own catagories/subcatagories to put things under, that you can then search for items in later

Thanks for saving me the trouble of having to research the depot's details. Since it's currently only linked to the wheel of misfortune, there's no reason for me to concern myself with this. I rather like ycavan's idea and would like to see something like that implemented. However, if something like that cannot be added and it's permanently linked to the wheel, how about we fix the root of the problem and make the wheel not straight up gambling? I feel that the dev's don't want to suck it up and admit that the wheel was a poor idea and thus try to make it more appealing by adding in the depot. With all the time spent adding in the depot, something much more useful could have been added in.

I understand that this feature is being added across GF's other games, but RoM doesn't need this kind of stuff atm. They need to focus on improving the game through bug fixes & making the game more enjoyable first. They can always focus on these miscellaneous things at a later time.

To me, as a player, the implementation of the depot says that GF is more concerned about increasing their profit from the game by making the most $$$ consuming feature more appealing. There's nothing wrong with wanting to increase revenue because that's what a business does, but there are better ways to do so. I'm sorry, but that's the impression I get from this. Please forward our concerns as I'm sure that I am not the only one who feels this way.

We got broken quests.... NPC's that are red...broken ISS...broke classes.. broken skills....pink colored chat....bosses that randomly dont reset, or reset midfight... barriers that dont go down after bosses die....events that are broken... siege( dare i say more)...missing ISS skills for gear >70.. no lvl 80 elite skills or 90 elite skills...the more i think about it the more i can keep going....

But by all means.. worry only about the item shop for the last 6+ months its ok. :dash: :dash: :dash: :dash:

The item shop was the best working part of this game until it was decided to "FIX" it. There were no complaints and the players were happy with the item shop until the "FIXES" started. Some how all the complaints about other problems with the game were ignored and unlimited money and programer and coder time were thrown at the best functioning part of the game. To what purpose? The net result has been more and more players leaving the game. The players have gotten nothing good from the change in the item shop only problems. Not a single new sale or giveaway (let it be known that the Turtle was just stupid and pointless ) . WERE THE CHANGES IN THE ITEM SHOP JUST DONE TO DRIVE AWAY ENOUGH PLAYERS TO FINALLY ALLOW THEM TO CLOSE THE GAME?

Well it surely seems that way and probably less vouchers for loyal customers for their other games when they close it down, we wouldn't want their other games economy to suffer from player of ROM going to them lmao. Sadly this game i loved and played for years had so much potential, fun and an awesome community but i would NEVER play another Gameforge game if you would pay me.

Cerberus, you are so right on what you listed but no ones shows any interest at Gameforge to adress those sadly. Too many broken promises and soon comments, just looks like an abusive relationship :beer:

I hope the soon in "we'll fix it soon" is measured in different units of time than the soon when Gameforge told us "the rune NPC will return soon" or "diamonds in AH will return soon", or any of the other still pending "soon" promises made years ago that were apparently measured in units of soon in years unbeknownst to the rest of us until the years have passed, because this game is really going to take a nosedive if gifting is gone.

I strongely disagree with this, I have a mailbox full of the previous years advent things that I have no room to stuff/stack (and I'm a OCD hoarder, so I can't delete them... yet) and its nice I dont have to worry about that, cause the depot

altho I was really excited when I first heard about the depot being a unlimited perm item shop space I was hoping to be able to stuff some puri's and other stuff bought into it :/ but this thing with the advent works too

We got broken quests.... NPC's that are red...broken ISS...broke classes.. broken skills....pink colored chat....bosses that randomly dont reset, or reset midfight... barriers that dont go down after bosses die....events that are broken... siege( dare i say more)...missing ISS skills for gear >70.. no lvl 80 elite skills or 90 elite skills...the more i think about it the more i can keep going....

I love you, marry me?

this is something that gets me and it's probably off topic, and as much as yes, the turtle is nice and the depot is ok and yes I want things like perm backpack space

I would Love to see ALL these little things Fixed FIRST > each and Every 'little' thing adds up, and I worry/think that they will get pushed to the wayside as GF/runewaker/watever keeps wanting to 'bring new flash/bling'

how long have we been living with the pink text in chat randomly? :/

Boy I sure am glad those permanent backpack tickets went on sale so I don't have to gift backpack tickets to alts now that gifting is broken and disabled

Oh wait, no, there still hasn't been any sale on those tickets and even if there was one now, it can't be gifted to characters that need it.
A real sysadmin knows how to change the time.
If you make the same mistake while trying to make up for the previous one, you are doing something wrong.

As much as I'd love to say I offer consulting services, the scope of things broken is too large.

I still cannot believe the NEW IS and now also the DEPOT cannot stack items being introduced to the Gift Shop Bag. Pathetic. Nuf said. :?: :!:

OH, it is my suggestion that items stack when entering the Gift Shop Bag. Now this post probably cannot be construed as not being a suggestion post. :(

I dont care their ítem deposites its just a "meh whatever" feature, the mess that caused it is a big problem since it stopped part of the game economy because cant spend gold on días, then the diamonds sellers cant get gold to gear up fast, then is not worth farming anything because the demand is low and prices go down. Then u just do dailys and go afk play something else.
Also if we cant buy días for gold, then cant unbind gear, cant plus gear, cant stat gear, then nothing to make us play
And even if diamonds are on 300% sale, why buy a lot if u cant sell or gift lol
