Reject Counter Offer
« on: June 12, 2010, 04:26:34 pm »

One of the more annoying parts about trading is when the caravan trader decides to put in a counter-offer.  I look at the offer, it's ridiculous, but I can't reject it.  The way the menus are setup right now, you are forced to accept, go back through the items and de-select all the stuff, and then try trading again.  It's fairly annoying, especially, when you are trading a bunch of items.  I wouldn't mind counter-offers, if I could reject or at least edit them.  It'd also help out when you have bins with stuff you want to sell and stuff you don't, as the traders ALWAYS seem to go after the stuff I DON'T want to sell.  I can't remember how many times I was trading crap copper gear looted from goblin invaders for steel gear for my defenders... and the trader decides to select a few steel items of mine... forcing me to search through about 25+ pages of items to deselect them... only to have them selected again by ANOTHER more inane counter offer.  Caravan traders are pretty ballsy when it comes to subsequent counter-offers.  Seriously, if don't like giving you that much of profit before, do you really think I'm going to like give you an even HIGHER amount of profit?  I ain't running a charity here.

I agree.

Quote from: Phantom
Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

And on a related note, a search/filter option in the trade view similar to what we have when selecting items to move to the depot would be a VERY helpful addition.

Hell yes!

I agree with Urist. Steampunk is like Darth Vader winning Holland's Next Top Model. It would be awesome but not something I'd like in this game.
Unfortunately dying involves the amputation of the entire body from the dwarf.

I double plus plus this suggestion!

Very needed feature. Again, plus plus.

What is this, a therapy session? We don't need to console someone because they're upset about a fucking video game. Grow a beard, son, and take off those elf ears!
