ZoS: Mail system

Insandros

@ZOS_GinaBruno

Would it requires years of programming to get either instant mail system when we buy something from the Trade Guilds or a refresh mail button? Kinda annoying that once in a while it's instant and other you need to zone out or log out.... Think that would be the best improvement in game ever since launch

I also find the system to be fairly lacking. It's more of a nuisance than a huge game changer, so may not be a priority. It would also be nice if the mail cycled through more quickly, instead of having to delete mail every week cause of my hirelings. That might just be a problem on console though, wouldn't know how easy it is to delete mail on PC, but I'm sure there's a cool bulk delete add-on or something.

It's just as much of a pain to delete mail.

Isn't that money the guy spent on 225 crown crates enough to fix a mail delivery system?

Also be nice not to get kicked off line 50 per cent of the time when I get mail.

Think about all the people that bought that many crates, and more, and didn't post on the forums.

Now think about all the bugs, all the crappy un-updated interfaces, all the lag.

Now think about how much money ZoS is making and not re-investing back into the game.

Now I am mad.

so far i'm lucky didn't get that bug on mail, only getting game crashed on using wayshriens, but that'S another story, but the bug i get with mail is, for exemple if i cycle my toons to get hireling mails and maybe have too many before i start grabbing the mails, it kinda get bugged i canot grab the items or delete the mail as if, major lag

you forgot al the time investing on new mobs, new ounts, all basic frame wire stuff copy pasted then applying new textures, reminds me of us in 2d Graphic design, making a cereal box for normal Cheerios for exemple, and one with Chocolate Chips. charging full price for both box design, but simply taking the same box design and image and only adding chocolate chipe or chocolate milk by using some layer effect to change the milk color i feel bitchy

Well so far it's taken almost 4 years and counting. Must be a formidable task indeed...

The mail system is horrible. ZOS must know this. It's poor by design and they just haven't bothered to improve it which is likely for the best. They'd probably break something if they did.

why haven't they done anything about this??? I just had this problem right now in the game! so sick and tired of having to log off and on again, this doesn't happen with any other of the 14 MMOs I've played.

I just had to log off and on again twice within 30 seconds /facepalm

Another aspect of the game that is frankly inferior to much older mmo's. ZoS, you're not reinventing the wheel, is it really that complex to make mail work without having to zone?
