Confirmation Button

Postby sMartins » Tue Jan 03, 2017 3:40 pm

For the new World add a Confirmation button when you insert the char name or wilderness beacon password so that new players don't get mad forgetting to press Enter...or fix it in some way.
Cheers

Not sure I understand the problem.

I think he means that when you right click the bonfire (to finally spawn in), it should ask for a confirmation and your destination.
“We still, alas, cannot forestall it-
This dreadful ailment's heavy toll;
The spleen is what the English call it,
We call it simply, Russian soul.”

An idea to consider: Tedium, a Feature.

Not convinced. Just do the right thing, or roll a new dork if you fail.

I always felt a flicker of doubt when entering past hearth secrets or charter stones (it's my often self-doubt when entering any sort of information). Perhaps if there was a stronger form of confirmation? Although, I believe the charter beacon flickers to light, does the grave stone do anything after you inherit?
Although, I'm pretty sure you can just mash it multiple times. It seems rather negligible honestly.

That's not it. I think his problem is that in text entry fields (such as entering your character's name), there is no 'ok' button to finish entering your text. You need to press enter to confirm, but no part of the interface hints at this.

Exactly...I have been watching at many new players trying to burn into the fire or trying to spawn friends to them and rage quitting cause they cannot accomplish that....they were not pushing ENTER on password or char name, cause it's not intuitive when you are new to the game to do so. (there are plenty of this little thing tbh that i think needs a review...but this could be a nice start)
I think if you aim for Steam this things need to be fixed in some way.
