Allow entry to properties during bidding (rejected due to dupelicate)

We will file suggestions here that did not make the cut. Don't expect detailed responses, but the most common reasons are:

  • implementing the suggestion is impractical, or too much work for the gain
  • the suggestion is thematically against our design philosophy
  • the suggestion is too detailed/low-level
    Keep your suggestions broad and focused on RP benefits, please, not detailed suggestions of how to fix everything.

Allow entry to properties during bidding (rejected due to dupelicate)

Post by WanderingPoet »

Right now the system encourages wide spread bidding. Maybe you get something, maybe you get absolutely nothing. But the more you try, the more likely you are to get something.

As it stands, you can't enter houses unless you break in. This means you're blind bidding and if the house isn't going to serve your purposes it goes back up for sale.

Awkwardly, the owner the home can't even enter, but anyone with keys can. Now, it'd great that you can snatch up all your stuff before people buy it, but it's more important that people know what they're buying so they're only bidding on property they want.

Rejecting this only because it's already been suggested

viewtopic.php?f=15&t=40230

For what it's worth I actually rather like it as a suggestion, but feel it needs discussing with the team first.
This too shall pass.

(I now have a DM Discord (I hope) It's DM GrumpyCat#7185 but please keep in mind I'm very busy IRL so I can't promise how quick I'll get back to you.)
