For a game that heavily focuses on Companys the system is quite rough.
How about adding a guild bank so you can supply your mates with tools and potions?
How about adding a log so you can actually see how much each member donated?
How about adding “guild tabards” like you have them in WoW?
These are just some of the small stuff that is acutally considerd the norm in MMO’s these days and shouldnt take more then a few hours/ days of coding to add to the game, afterall this is amazon we are talking about so budget/manpower should never be a reason not to add this stuff.
I would probabyly be able to add most of that stuff in a week of work and im a aboslute amatuer.
On the other hand this is Amazon gaming, so they arent lackig budget/manpower.
The donation log already exists, its just hidden to us.
The Guild bank is just the normal storage system but with a changed source, basicly you could just make it so the game counts your guild as a player, and then change the acces to the ID your guild has. sure thats a very rough way to do it but then again, a real dev prob has this done in a few hours.
The guild tabard is prob the hardest one but since we can already make symbols for our company most of the work is already done. Just add a white shirt with a placeholder texture that gets replaced by your current guild symbol.
Again, this is basic stuff, and a big company like amazon can only justify not adding these things by being lazy, im sure the devs thought about adding these things but got hold off by higher ups. Even the stuff they did add are sometimes so rough i can hardly imagine they got to spend the time they wanted on the features.
While I know nothing of coding I completely agree with building it out more. The cool part is this game (even though it’s been Alpha’d & Beta’d) is still in its infancy and our input will still be heard. I think they will include this in future developments.
This part should have been omitted. There is a lot more to software development (test driven development) than just an hour of “flex tape” coding.
Otherwise, solid feedback on what needs to be implemented into the current company system. A log is for sure necessary, especially with some of the stories I’ve read on reddit where company leaders emptied the treasury, created new characters with the gold and are planning to use the server transfer as their escape plan.
