Admittedly, they're all FSH features, but for the most part, they're lower down on the level of importance I suspect ?

 

As you say, by continually adding things to the poll, it's lessening the effectiveness OF the poll, so I think, from now on, I'd rather keep the poll as is - see which of the 3-5 items Hoof wants to implement first are and, once they're in, I (or, ideally, he) will do another thread with ALL remaining features listed from the get-go, to get a more accurate picture.

 

 

Personally i consider those FS-helper features the most important,

that help to manage large upgrades.

Be it upgrades of component slots, backpack, guild store, stamina, Auction House.

For most of these there is not much of a point without FS-Helper.
From the list it would be those related to inventing + eventually Scavenging summary, PvP arena filter.

 

Though i have to agree, there is not much point in adding them now

 

Just hope HCS will keep the old FS-helper feature (whatever gets picked to be implemented first)

as an option, until that feature is fully integrated and working. 

This to avoid we have to live with something half done / half broken for a long while to come.

And therein lies the rub.  What is important to one player is not importantant to another therefore the only fair and responsible way to integrate FSH into the game is to take it ALL and integrate it all in one shot.  Will this delay the overall implementation?  Probably, but better all of it delayed than some people feeling second class because they didn't get their wish list, especially if there is no set timetable for total implementation and/or that timetable is not followed.

I've made a list now of all the FSH features in the poll and all those subsequently brought up but not added... If there are ANY other features, mention them now so that the list is complete and these accusations about favouritism / personal preference inclusions can be eliminated

While i would like it all converted in one go, i doubt it is going to happen.

Looking at the list of Coders, i am guessing only Zorg and Hoofmaster are left working on FS,

and this only part time, as they work on other projects like Eldevin too (correct me if i am wrong).

 

With the amount of features in FS-helper, i am starting to wonder if it would not be better,

if HCS takes over development of FS-helper.

If an update of FS threatens to brake a feature of FS-Helper, they can decide if it is easier

to fix FS-Helper or add the feature on the server side.

This would in my opinion, give most bang for the buck.

That's how I understand it too - the only full-time FS Cow is BG ?

 

Wish it were different  (as in more dedicated resource, not that BG wasn't full time LOL)

I think their main priority is just cancelling out any and all scripts. If they simply takeover FSH, then it's still possible that coders out there can customize it beyond the normal settings and HCS won't be able to detect it. All they'll see is the player is running FSH which is legit.

 

By implementing FSH into the actual game, you can fully ban any scripts and hopefully be able to ban anyone using them.

 

But yes, if they took over FSH, it would certainly be time efficient. Too bad they can't get the Eldevin coders to work on FS for just one week lol. Imagine all the work that could be done and what features would be implemented.

I can see a bunch of reasons why HCS would want to get rid of FS-Helper.

But they have to figure out how to do the best with the resources at hand.

Who knows, once Eldevin goes live and hopefully becomes a success,

that might free a coder to do other work.
 

Best players can do is make a priority list, which will work for as many people as possible.

Hoof has asked me to start this thread ('cos I couldn't find the first one) regarding what features of the FSH should be implemented into core game code first...

 

To that end, there's a poll above - and, if I've missed anything, I'll add to the poll ..

 

The top 3-5 will get the first look from the almighty

One thing Id like to see tweaked is the store! Is is just my pet peeve, or should the Guild>>>Store from left menu take you there and allow you to pick up AND deposit items? Its minor, but a pain in the butt to have to go to Guild>>>Manage>>>Report to get to the same place! I always forget and just click on store and have to start over!

I would also like to see the relic ''fetch stats'' option integrated in to FS..  it doesnt seem to be working properly most of the times on FSH..
