Bulk Item Purchasing

Post by Numba1Gunner »

Please Please Please Implement a way to purchase items in bulk. I understand the idea of limiting the availability of some key items so that they don't flood the gameplay. But as it stands now I belive every time to you leave an NPC's menu and re-trigger it you get the full options again.

Specifically I am talking about potions. I have maxed out everything for the current version, so now I'm faced with 2 options.

1. Abandon game until further release, possibly forgetting to check and being lost forever

2. Burn and Churn my character slowly through the levels as I search for a ring of lesser shadows in the Gargoyle Trainers.

I really really really want to pursue path 2, but it is becoming a painful endeavor. on my most recent trip to town I bought approximately 250 Bonemeal potions..... that meant i had to go through the NPC menu 25+ times, and manually tap the screen 250 times. This process added nothing to the storyline or gameplay... it only added to me probability of getting repetitve-stress syndrome later in life. Please please please throw us heavy players a bone and allow for quick selling and purchasing of items.

It could be by introducing "sell1" "sell5" "sell10" "sell50" buttons or by giving the option to enter your own number to sell or buy. Please I'm begging you to implement this asap. If I got an update tomorrow that had nothing but this I would be thrilled. My fingers are begging you to have mercy.

I completely agree with Numba on this one! I would like to take it a step further and suggest that you implement the functionality that would allow us to do a bulk drop of items into tour "home" basket.
I have hundreds of Bones and stones that I want to drop all at once. I think holding down on the item should include a "drop all" option.
Selling in bulk is also a very nice feature that I often wish was available.

Are you talking about a place where you can store stuff for future use ?

That would be totally useful.
Ha Ha, Made you look.

For everyone's information these concerns are addressed in issues 25, 51, and 59 on the google code page. There are a lot of interesting comments and suggestions to the issues there as well as here.

This option is already available at home. There is a basket in the lower right hand corner. Stand on it, hold down the item you want to store, and it will give you an option to drop it in the basket.

ScorpionZ, I understand that. I was talking about being able to drop X number of a particular item into the basket all at once.
ie. drop 100 bones into the basket at onetime.

Good idea, and in addition to bulk item purchasing and basket dropping, might as well add bulk item selling too.
