Anyway, regarding the "Bank Junk Filler" button I suggested last time, Ash. I posted it on reddit and the reception was pretty good, with a cuple hundred upvotes. However, some of the feedback I got was that people didn't want more buttons on the interface...

Good. It's in the list of things to consider for future polls.
I think we've got a lot of scope to use the bank settings panel for things like this, so that new buttons can be kept out of the way. It's presumably not something you'd need to click all that often anyway, but it's more accessible than an NPC.

Are the uncut gem packs coming soon?

Mod Maz has been doing the programming for those, so I imagine we'll see them next week most likely.

Haven't tried that out, but if I have a bank full of placeholders and I try to deposit a new item (that doesn't already have a placeholder), would it be possible?

No, a placeholder holds the place exactly like a real item does, so a bank full of placeholders is legitimately full. That's partly why we made a button to get rid of them all quickly.

Are Castle Wars halos still getting an update? D:

Oh yes. But we haven't asked Mod Ghost to postpone the Monkey Madness II GFX work to deliver that cosmetic update faster. It'll come.

Also we've had requests for an option to generate placeholder junk to fill your bank, so that people can make 'Deposit-Inventory' do exactly what they want it to do.

Well then maybe if the poll for generating placeholders for items we currently don't possess passes, the people who had previously used junk to artificially make their bank full should probably be creative enough to source for the junk placeholders themselves.

It's my personal opinion that if you were to allow a button or NPC to automatically generate junk for us, it would probably make things slightly less interesting.

Just my two cents.

Glad to hear it's on the list :)

The thing about the concept screenshot I made for the idea, was that I created it before you posted the picture with the padlock button on Twitter, but I posted it to reddit after you had revealed it. Which is why people had (legitimate) concerns with cluttered ButtonScape.

Had I created the concept after your twitter post, I would defnitely have placed it on settings instead. You're exactly right in that it wouldn't need clicking often. You'd essentially decide "Now I mine at MLM" toggle it on, then toggle it off when done.

Also, speaking of the Padlock Button, if I could give one piece of feedback for this update, it would be to move that to either side of the interface. If you want a visual reference on how that would look, I could send you my "button" concept on Twitter, just let me know :)

Okay Mod Ash/Ronan.

About that PID update + arena + pvp.

What's the point of that update? Pid doesn't change middle of the duel.
Especially Def 1 DDS staking. There's PID most likely a win.

Do you guys expect people to PK/Stake with timers on the screen? And write up what time anybody had the ''''pid''''?

It doesn't make any sense at all.
Pid changes every 60-90 sec & doesn't even change INSIDE ARENA. How do u expect me to snipe the Pid if i can't even figure out this...

Staking was random, now it's random... and by the most idiotic way...

Sorry but the PID system. Put it back to 50-50 0.6/sec toggle. This update is useless.

When does the pid change? Does the timer run between the duel? If it changes EVERY 60 to 90 seconds.. whats the point of it? Its still completly random. What happens if YOU RELOG?

Personally I like that those horrible satchels from Tower of Life have a sort of use, even if it's just as a filler for Jmods testing bank updates. That's not why they were originally created, of course. In fact it's rather hard to identify the design goals of those satchels.

Shuffling it around is easy, if there's a place where players would agree that it looks right. (There may not be.)

From what I've seen, most people ask for it to be together with the other buttons on the right. I'm personally indifferent on it going to the left side or right side, but I do agree it shouldn't be sitting in the middle.

Then there's also the feedback that it doesn't save the toggle between logins, but I'd imagine you guys are already on the case for that one.

"enable placeholders button" should be always on if that is what you have selected, if i log out it goes off and i have to turn it back on each time, can this be changed?

Yup. It's currently working like the items/notes toggle, which resets between login sessions, but we can make it permanent pretty easily.
