The frog is seriously annoying. If I purchase something then I want the item immediately. If you miss the stupid frog you lose the item. Something wrong there.Deroiste quijote
Love the frog. Also love the delay. It is short and it adds more flavor to the game! The instant get stuff was, maybe this is the wrong word, unrealistic.
I love the frog. I haven't had any times where I needed my items and couldn't wait a few minutes. Not only is he cute, but I like when he comes because I am able to see what he has brought me and keep track of whats coming in my inventory better.
The frog should reappear in under a minute if you move away from your current location, if you become unreachable for any reason (reload client during delivery, log out completely, etc.), items will go to your mailbox. If you are in an instanced location (like the tower quest locations or Rainbow Run) or in hell, you should receive your items once you leave.
If you find for some reason you aren't receiving your auction items, please file a bug report to let us know (we will make sure you get them). This is never supposed to happen!
I love the frogs...but not with the auction. Too much having to drop everything to get the delivery. And half the time I'd get 2 frogs a few mins apart, if not almost together.
The window for sending mail needs to be smaller so that you can see the frog swooping in to take your package away. I only noticed him when another player was sending their mail.
I will admit that the only time that Mr. Yoga makes me impatient is when I need the items for projects. But at the end of the day, I don't mind waiting - more Zen time.
The idea is funny, it takes me out of the zone that I sometimes get into when I am trying to finish a bunch of things and has me wait and relax a couple minutes. That's why he's the "yoga-zen" frog!
I LOVE the froggy, and the delay was implemented intentionally for game mechanics, some of which may not be obvious at this point, or for that matter discernible at all ...
I forgot about the frogs with auction goodies and thought I had lost my purchase. Then the yoga frog turned up and cheered me up hugely. Please keep them, they are great. :-)
+1 for keeping the frogs. There were a couple times when I wished it could be there instantly, only because I knew what instant was like from previous tests. I think it is a great mechanic for the game, and a wonderful addition to the world. Who knows the frog may be just a small part of a something bigger and better.
I'm also a fan of the frogs. The longest delivery time I noted was three minutes, and that was when I was deep within the bowels of the mines, so I guess my frog had to go further to find me. I don't think that's excessive delay at all.
Maybe an option to pay extra to have the frog deliver the item from the auctions - and the frog is faster, otherwise the (snail mail) delivery goes to your mailbox and takes 10 real world minutes?
I love the Frog Delivery System! Sometimes I wish I could get my letters via Frog so that I don't have to hunt down a mailbox. By the way, is there a list somewhere that shows where the mailboxes are, incoming and outgoing?
They are supremely cute but ruin project coordination.
Also, whether it be projects or mining, when I pay for food from auction is when I want/need food from auction. I live in Phool, have no garden, no desire to garden nor cook. If I find myself needing food, I need food. :)
Pretty please leave the frogs to the postal system or give me an option to pay more for instant delivery as it used to be.
There's more to the game than just projects...I play mine by cooking and farming - a whole a lot cooking and farming.
Last thing I want to have to do is to keep having to drop my screens down to greet and talk to a bunch of "anythings"...be it frogs or whatever...just to get items that I need at that moment.
Same reason that I don't want to have to drop everything to run to a vendor every time I need something. Only with the vendor, ya don't have to click constantly to finally get it to leave - just to have another one show up!
@Cupcake re: Ohhh come on, if a 2 minute delay really ruins projects than you're obviously being too competitive!
My two currants :]
Also...divine, aren't you derioste quijote? Lol..Posted 16 min ago by Cupcake| Permalink
Pretty sure I wasn't rude or insulting in any way there. I'd appreciate the same in return, and maybe you could read the whole thing. Ty for the 2 currants though. I will value them forever.
Oh dear...sorry!! I wasn't implying you were, and certainly wasn't intending to be, although I see how it came across that way. Promise, I was just being lighthearted :)
do the frogs add to the lag? at one point in the alakol party when there were tons of frogs i became completely frozen in my tracks and couldn't move until i reloaded...
I love the frog, but IxÆoN has a point - there's a lot that lags in this game due to the Flash component being used. I'm not sure that the frog really adds to that or not, but I was reloading a lot today (but not when the frog was around)
my only thought on the frog is that glitch is beautiful, and the frog... just doesn't fit. he sticks out like a sore toad. i wish he would meld better with the design, even more like a crab :)
