Add "Go in House" in iMG menu, or replace "Go Home" for "Go in House".

I would rather have in the menu "Go in House" than "Go Home" (street).
Most of the times I need to go in the house to pick up objects and not on the street, so I find that option more useful.
I am typing /house all the time.
Maybe you could divide the cloud in 3 parts "Go Home" / "Go in House" / "Go in Tower". Or else have 3 different clouds.

  • I'd hate for it to be replaced.  Adding would be nice, though, and the tower too.

  • Adding would be a lot better, and for adding "go to tower" too.

  • To go to your street:
         Type /home in local chat.

    To go to your house:
         Type /house in local chat.

    To go to your tower:
         Type /tower in local chat.

  • Except the op knows about typing.

    And I agree, it would be neat to do it without typing.  There are plenty of times that I play the game with the mouse and am not able to reach the keyboard without a bit of difficulty.

  • as long as its very clear button that lets you pick outside vs. inside, because if you are towing someone around and drag them in, then you could have problems.

    anyone who was around when we got keys - and could give them to folks - remembers how long it was before we had problems with just that.

    (it was bout 20 minutes, for those not here at the time)

  • Maybe put in preferences what you want the default `home' teleport to be - home street, house or tower.

  • @Klikini and Arietty
    -_-  did you read at all what i wrote?
    Sometimes i feel like people don't read at all things. And I feel like treated as an idiot, so thank you very much for that and also for taught me what i already knew (and said).
    But I forgive you this time. ;) lobe

  • Elf makes an important point. If someone were following you could pull them into your house by mistake if your cloud went into your house. I'd vote for separate clouds for home and yard.

  • @ Lucille Ball, I see. In that case me too with distinguishable cloud icons, one for the street, other for the house, and maybe a third for the tower. Perhaps all of them with different forms... Ex: http://goo.gl/A3os4

  • +1 Mount Aspen.  This would be a great thing to be able to select in preferences.

  • There are the 3 commands previously mentioned that already currently exist. If you want to be able to change where the home cloud takes you, that would work, however I can see this leading to other issues. Many people don't want to let people into their houses that they don't know, if you make the default the house instead of Home Street, and the person is being followed, you WOULD have ppl in our house that you may or may not want there. It would be easy to forget which option you have picked as well. it makes more sense to have the commands to either be /home /tower or /house but have the default be the home street to avoid confusion, often people will meet on home streets...and accidently having a crowd of people in your house because you forgot what your setting were isn't ideal. Also it would greatly help if the commands were much more commonly known, currently thats not the case.

  • Yes, but first rebalance the rest of the non-cheese recipes

    But a good idea. Perhaps they can add a lowercase() operator too, since /TOWER is an unknown command... :/

  • @Lyrical DejaVu I know about the commands and I use them.
    The thing here is having the shortcut inside iMG menu.
    About people following you that should always be something you should notice before teleporting. Well, at least I do.
    But, as we have been sharing ideias here I now think that the best solution for all would actually be the one on Mount Aspen's comment.
    This way players could choose between the three possible options: House, street or tower.

  • I don't get this "accidentally in your house" issue.

    If we could choose where the cloud takes us, the cloud obviously would show us a big picture of the place it takes us. Just as it is doing now. The cloud shows me a picture of my street, so it's quite easy to understand that I go to my street.

    If the cloud would show me a big picture of my house, how could that be misleading? And anyhow, how many people are using the "follow" option to their homestreets? You don't even need that. Just make people click "Visit homestreet" in your profile.

    "Follow" is much more useful to places where people without teleport can't just go by clicking on the map.

  • Having the 3 choices would be a nice addition to the game.  Even so, there are other things I would prefer to see TS accomplish before this (and I too sometimes find not being able to land in my preferred home street "spot" sometimes annoying).  I'm sure it must be on their to do list somewhere.

  • @Louis Louisson I completely agree with you, but some players might have/prefer different methodologies, so despite we wouldn't have a problem with it and I actually played before this system and we were always having guests in our houses and that was never an issue, I understand their fear of that possibility, even if remote, to accidentally "land" in the house with one follower but unwanted guest. 

    @Princess Fi Your comment made me think about other possibility: If we could mark our position somewhere, like you said your favorite "spot" for instance: 3rd floor in the tower (as we have it now with the 3 possible locations for teleport)... That home-position could be marked and later changed.

  • Kul, Thanks for expanding on "my idea" as I was only thinking of the 3 possibilities that you originally mentioned.  So.. your idea, actually.. beyond being able to choose other than house, street or tower.  However, I think that might be rather cumbersome from a programming perspective and might also create considerable lag if we could all do so.  Nifty idea nonetheless! :-).

  • agreed. enter street, house, and tower options would be AMAZING!

  • I realized you knew the commands, but i was reiterating them as my post was half way down the page. Also i didn't say it was necessarily a bad idea, i was however trying to point out it might cause more problems than it was worth, concerning the playerbase as a whole not per individual.

  • Princess Fi The lag depends, I think, beside how much information is coming from the servers, on their speed and also the connections through all the network.
    So I can't see much difference, if that would be changed - also because we are already using those options through the typing codes. If it would affect something, I think, it actually could reduce the lag, because people don't need to move so many times to be in the "right spot". ;)

  • This could be done in a way similar to setting you butler's post. Whenever you're anywhere on your home street (2nd floor home, 7th floor tower, etc), click your cloud menu. Next to the home cloud could be an option 'set location'. The home cloud would then be set to wherever it was you chose.

  • @Muncey Mango, yes I was thinking of something more or less like that. :)

  • As for the right spot idea....this just seems unnecessary and , really how long does it take to walk a home street?...not long at all
