Hi,
First wanted to say how much I love this game, alpha and all! I pretty much have very few problems with things others complain about, and I am really looking forward to all the things that you will be adding to this!
But there is an item I think really should have been finished before releasing this as an alpha. Its the storage system, and how it is shared.
The whole idea of this game is to share everything within the town, and eventually through trade with other towns.
But when your teammates lock up their stuff, and you need access to it when you are there and they are not, it means you are wasting time with others that could have been spent getting what you need done.
I really think you should have gotten that part done when you set up the ability to lock your stuff up. I find it the most frustrating part of the game, since people can never know when they will be on, there is no way to coordinate this, as some people will be off for days, and I cant get anything done until they are back.
I know multiple people doing the same thing can help, but you have to realize how unreliable that is, because no one is truly reliable when it comes to games because we all have lives outside of it!!
I hope that you will be able to get this fixed, as it is extremely annoying and very time wasting for people like me who can spend more time there than others.
I have seen others make suggestions about what they would like to be done next (like more farm animals, etc..), but most other cosmetic and add on's should be put on the back burner until more pressing issues like this are dealt with.
Do you have any idea when the ability to share buildings will be available? I hope fairly soon, since it puts pressure on others when they know that their team has been waiting for them to open the house so they get the materials they need. The same goes for warehouses, if they can be accessible to all while still staying locked up to outsiders it would be great.
Thanks for listening!
