I think it is pretty annoying when vendors, especially farmers, walk out of range while we are trading, and thereby close down the interface. Can't you please fix this so that interfaces stay open no matter how far away the NPC walks?

 

Another example of this is Otto near the the eastern gate to Eldevin City. He is very conveniently located for selling stuff we collect outside of the gate, but unfortunately he walks around collecting planks, so If I am not careful to place myself near the center of his path, he walks too far away from me when I am in the middle of transfering items to sell, and the window closes down. It is extremely annoying.

but that's part of the charm of this game. the npcs aren't static animation characters. they have lives and are busy doing their thing

 

you get used to it. you just need to go up to them, click and it will open the window and won't close once you do. they will stop walking.  it's possible that your clicking them before your next to them maybe so the split second of doing that and the window opening gives them a chance to continue their animations?  idk but I got the hang of it after a shortness and don't have any issues with it. 

 

I wouldn't want them to change it so that the npc's that are doing things just stood there like statues.  we have enough of those in games and this one.   one of the funniest animations is Otto's temper making him go after players if they knock on his door or when they first encounter him if they keep clicking on him.

I still say that the game is buggy when it closes down interfaces like that. It is not something I should get used to. It should not happen at all. It is poor design. The NPCs can walk around all they want, I am fine with that, but it should not have any influence on open interfaces.

Hi,

 

Thanks for the report. I've improved this behaviour so they stop even if they are in mid patrol. If you happened to talk to them while they were already moving they would keep going and close your shop.

 

This should resolve the issue, it will be in the next update.
