I am fairly new to NW and just logged 100hrs. Now I am starting to use the trading post more frequently. Creating Buy and Sell Orders etc. I guess, I am doing relatively okay at this point, but I lose track about everything going on there.
What really baffles me is, that there is no postal system in place. I don't know, what I sold or what got sent back in my storage, because it expired. The trading post in it self is really scuffed and not intuitive at all. I think many here agree, that AGS has to work on the trading post. But why on earth is there no system in place, that sends me a message and I have to look in a mailbox, to get my stuff/gold (like in GW2 or WoW for example). Sure, going to the mailbox is a nuisance, but atleast you know, what exactly you sold and how much gold you get for this.
Am I alone with this?
Hello, my name is Patrick (24, he/him) and I’m from Canada. I’m new to pen paling but looking to gain a few pen pal friends from anywhere around the globe! I’ve lost touch with some friends over the years and would like to make connections with new people. Whether you want to be a pen pal for a few months, something long-term, or see where it goes, I’m flexible with it.
I’ve had this long fascination with the postal system and love checking our mailbox even though it’s mostly coupons. I’ve also recently started collecting stamps and covers. Maybe one day I can be a philatelist, but that’s yet to come. For now, I’m just an enthusiast that wants to share stamps and see the ones people choose to use.
Some of my other interests include:
- Movies, movies, movies! I’m not the best at explaining why I like them or why I think one is good, but I’d like to improve that through this medium. I’m always open to recommendations and enjoy pretty much everything.
- I love nature but haven’t interacted with it often in the past couple of years. I grew up in the country on a small hobby farm but now live in a city for university. But I’ve also had some fun fish-related fieldwork experiences to make up for it.
- My favourite animals include ducks, geese, and chickens.
- My partner and I have many teddies!
- As of today, I want a fountain pen but haven’t figured out how to get one or what kind to get. There are so many facets to pen paling that I keep discovering and it’s ever-so-exciting.
Honestly, we don’t have to have much in common as long as there’s a synergy between us. We can talk about just one thing or many things. I’m always trying to learn new words, so I’d think it’d be fun if we gave each other a word or two to somehow weave into the letter appropriately.
Send me a message if you’re interested! 😊
Hi,
It is a bit of a strange request, but I wanted to ask if someone could send a postcard to my 3 year old.
Longer explanation:
My three year old had to be hospitalized two weeks ago. I brought along a big book about Post Office and now The Great Decider decreed a high interest in the postal system. The kid got fascinated with the idea that people and animals (the book had elephants writing postcards to zebras ) from all over the world can send postcards. We are spending hours every day reading the same book and discussing how postal system works. I was asked if we will get the postcard too…
If this is not too much of a burden, could someone please send us a Xmas / New Year postcard? It would really be a treat!
I ordered something online, shipped to cyprus within 2 days, payed online on thalissupp and a week later it's still not in the post office for me to pick up. How hard is it? Kirie eleison
I've been thinking about what Grian said of a messaging system involving mobs. The simplest solution I can think of is foxes, picking up the messages, chased by wild wolves.
The redstone would be fairly discreet. A dispenser could feed the item to the fox, and a button selector panel could selectively open doors to have the fox path find to the recipient's base. A t-flip flop could allow a pressure plate/tripwire to have a first activation that cuts off the wolf from the fox, and a second activation that flushes out the wolf and resets the system.
The main problem with this idea is it's not the most efficient in entities. Assuming that each boatem member maintains the capacity to message all others at least once, that's 20 tamed foxes and 20 tagged wild wolves (all 5 players have 4 of each, 1 pair for each possible recipient). The main feature of this system is you have to pay your messenger with berries, which will look very cute.
Besides that it all comes down to the roost/path design. The messenger foxes/wolves will need a place to be housed that will also cycle through placing them in the system. The "pneumatic tubes" also don't have to be tubes, there's a lot of fun to be had in designing the path of the chase.
This has all been a really fun thought exercise. I originally had a much more complicated idea to cut down on the number of mobs where zombies were used instead. I'm still toying around with the mechanics in a testing world. Essentially, a mob farm filters out a zombie that is primed to be the messenger and it'll chase a villager to the next base. The farm only activates after a message is sent and only until a zombie is primed. So, instead of a pair for each other member you'd have only a villager roost and a single zombie.
One idea I had for the messenger roosts is using a piston feedtape with fence gates to cycle through choosing the containers to put/pull the foxes/wolves from. Expanding this idea to other areas, I can easily see making use of this design to have a water stream with variable chutes.
We may need to pay additional shipping costs, but it’s better than having Amazon drivers dump our stuff at our doorsteps, ready for porch pirates to steal them.
At least when Canada Post can’t deliver my package, they bring it to the nearest post office and let me know the address so I can go pick it up there.
Edit: countries’ postal systems, plural, not singular. Sorry.
Missing a packing for over 45 days that was shipped to an APO, AE address. I talked to the Post Office on base and they tell me they only have the same tracking as the USPS and to call them. I contact the USPS and they say the base should have additional military tracking. Can any nice postal folk help me out?
I mailed a documents to a government entity, yet I think I wrote the name of the entity wrong on the address. Is there a chance that they never got it, and if it were wrong, would they return it to me?
Loving the game, besides a few things, but overall it is great. But having an MMO with a player to player economic model is one thing, but forcing trade to either be on the Trade House(where the items/market are limited to the town), or person to person is another(within a 10m radius). In a game with no Mounts, and a cost of to travel anywhere whether it be towns, or shrines.
Please Devs give us a postal service with the usual features, COD etc.
My character is no stranger to messing up the postal system. She helped convince a bunch of mail carriers to fight aloneside her in a battle against an undead army. Most of them perished. Anyway.
Most recently, the party was searching for someone they suspected to be a follower of Cyric. This man worked for the postal system. He was very devoted to his job and would not really be willing to speak with them during work. My character, a dumb noble bard who has a bad relationship with her Father, decided that partially shutting down the postal system would do the trick. She ran in frantic saying that her Father had tried to send her a care package and accidently mailed her little sister after she had crawled into the box.
Well. Chaos began as I started a manhunt for my little sister who doesnt exist. Sending trains trying to contact other mail carriers, it was nuts. I was of course sure to add that my Father likes to pretend he doesnt have another kid. My characters is being sued now, but it was worth it.
So I'm writing something and at a certain stage I'm going to face the problem of people sending letters.
Now I distinctly remember in The Untamed that LWJ sent a letter to WWX in the Burial Mounds, and Wen Ning picked it up from Yiling. But how did it get there?
I've looked up Ancient China's postal service, and one did exist from the Zhou Dynasty onwards but it was only for government/Imperial/Military stuff.
And in Word of Honor I seem to remember letters being left at the bank, I think.
Do the Clans in the Untamed have their messengers? Is there something like a Poste Restante (or P.O. Box) where travellers can get messages if they don't have a permanent home?
It’s very niche, but I have a strange interest in the postal system and mail carriers. I’m looking for books including or about them. Any genre welcome. Could be a memoir about a mailman or a novel including one etc.
