3dx Update

[Diana Prince]

Just a little thing that I discovered yesterday (sorry if this was mentioned before, don't want to read the whole 7 thread pages again, lol):

when you invite someone into your room, the drinks, food, etc. don't cost money for the guest and you don't earn any!
That does only work when you "share" your room for friends, group or public.

Donc c'est bien ce que je pensais.
Avoir l'option d'un paramétrage manuel du propriétaire de room, serait mieux. Ainsi il pourrait choisir choisir l'option payante  ou gratuite pour les boissons et la nourriture, peut importe la façon dont il l'ouvre et la partage : pour tous, pour les amis, ou en groupe et aussi fixer le prix des articles qu'il met à disposition dans sa room.
Quand je reçois des amis, à la maison, en général je ne leur fait pas payer la bière, le coca ou le cocktail que je peux leur offrir. Il devrait pouvoir en être de même.
J'ouvre toujours ma room en groupe chat, et j'ouvre le groupe chat, à ma compagne, ainsi c'est plus facile pour qu'elle me rejoigne, et/ou à mes amis. Je me vois mal faire payer ma compagne si elle prend à boire dans ma room. Ca c'est un truc à se faire traiter de radin. Là les gars, c'est abusé

_____________________________

So that's what I thought.
Having the option of a manual setting of the room owner, would be better. That way he could choose to pay or free for drinks and food, no matter how he opens and shares it: for everyone, for friends, or in groups and also set the price of the items he makes available in his room.
When I have friends over, at home, I usually don't charge them for the beer, coke or cocktail I can offer them. It should be the same.
I always open my room in group chat, and I open the group chat, to my girlfriend, so it's easier for her to join me, and/or to my friends. I can't see myself charging my friend for drinks in my room. That's something to be called cheap. That's a bit of a stretch, guys.

[Diana Prince]

With that many items, maybe an ini or csv file for all the prices would be best. And a price for invite, friends, group or public for each item.
This way, you could use Excel for easy managing.

I don't think that manually making the price is actually a good idea at least without making a tight price limit.

Some people can go scummy with this and make it like 10.000 xgold for a glass of wine - and someone can just buy it without looking at the price. It's just how human psych works, when it comes to "cheap" little things - some people sometimes buy them without even bothering to look at the price.

I personally would be happy enough even if food and drink would cost as much as it is now, but if devs would make it free for room owner and also for guests IF room is open for group/friends or if you just manually invited person to your apartment. So basically leaving consumables paid only when it comes to opening room for public.

And if its about making more xgold leave the game... Well, just make a commission higher, not 90-10 but like 80-20 or 70-30. But making us pay for drinks in our own place and making our romantic partner or friend to pay for everything when they come to our place just feels wrong tbh.

I usually lurk the forum and I always restrained from leaving a comment and to create an account here, but this update to me is going to ruin even more the fragile balance between small and "big" or well-known rooms, especially those using bots that are open 24h 7/7. No matter what in this game numbers call numbers, it's a matter of fact, quality and the dedication behind a room is usually ignored. People have a choice, but the concept of hosting and sharing a room is beyond ridiculous now and it'll get worse later.

The incoming issue for me is the new gold transfer system, the fact rooms stay open just with those bots and especially that hosts will get a further part of gold from items will kill any kind of new/small room trying to stay alive or to let people know they exist. Those with thousand xgold will boost even more their fake numbers every x minutes to obscure new players. I see that already happening and later will hit even more dangerous situations. You can't even call it competition at this point. I re-joined the game at the beginning of the year and 3-4 years ago wasn't like that.

Limit the opening time, put a time limit or ask xgold as ticket for delaying the closing time if the owner leaves, or let them select a sub-host for running the room x-hours more.

If you're going to follow @-Chat or MXXClub(not sure if I can meantion its name) example you're going to lose every kind of player trying to find a place in the community and every room will be filled with alts trying to milk other players for every small interaction.

From my point of view, not saying it is correct or not, most of these bigger rooms you mention usually have plenty of means and support to buy gold to stay permanently on top, so I don't think much will change there.

BUT hopefully with this new gold transfer system, you can actually support smaller rooms that you like, by simply interacting with objects inside of them, helping the small room owner to collect a bit of gold to get back onto the top of the list every now and again, I think it's a brilliant way of supporting the smaller rooms

And personally I will rather spend my time in a small or semi-small room, than being in one of those big "clubs" where half of them are afk people anyways, or you have to follow an unwritten "set of rules" to not annoy the host or any of their regular guests etc., like some rooms doesn't like it if I mess around with friends and suddenly start running around like crazy on their dance floor, because of some silly interaction or whatever the case might be, I'm not trying to disrupt anyone else's fun, I'm just having a good time and enjoying the rooms I am in

It`s always ignored, most people are sheep's and follow other people.

And get more people in that buys shit, so they get more xgold and so on and so on.

There is nothing wrong with having rooms open 24/7, they are not the problem, i have never seen Hinch hire 40 "dancers", "staff" and rape his "friends" list so he can open with 70+ people and spend thousands of xgold on boosting Havasu when there are 100+ people in the room already. I have seen it in several other rooms though, but i doubt there is anything that can be done, since the use of multi accounts for bots, and buying of xgold to boost makes the developers money.

This is not meant as a negative remark, but i always see people say that they would do that, and yet in the last year alone i lost several builder friends that just quit after spending months on making something only to get one or two visitors in return, if they are lucky. Most of the time they did not even get that. So i guess i`m just wondering: where do all of you that "rather spend your time in small rooms" go then ?

I have seen people build space ships, moon landings, Area 52, ufo`s insanely realistic replicas of real life places, museums, art gallery`s, asylum, schools, zen forest, monasteries, small villages, full city`s and almost everything in between, but where do people go ? To some random "free use anal slave bbc whore" room with 600 mattresses on the floor and very little else. Or they go to one of the "music" rooms with a ton of bots that get boosted as often as necessary to keep the charade up so their owners sense of self esteem gets a nudge in the same direction.

If you don`t have the right "friends" are in the "right" clique, are willing to spend a lot of time and real money on xgold and be completely shameless in promoting it, you are basically fucked.

And this does not help either.

This image is to me a perfect example of what this game has become, and I seriously doubt it will change.

It's not about being a sheep. At least not for everyone who are prioritizing rooms with big numbers.

It's a lot about what people looking for in game. And most people here not for good rooms. It does not mean that people love mediocre and straight up shitty rooms, it just means that rooms quality is not a priority for most. Most people here for virtual sex of different kinds, from lifeless colds to delicious erotic roleplay with a lot of purple or some lovense included plays and everything in between. And where it is easier to find a partner, in a room with 50-100 people or with 0-10 people? 

I can openly state that I am in 3dxchat first and foremost for erotic roleplay. I know that on this forum such a "confession" may seem like a shameful cringe, but whatever, it's about this forum, not about the game - if we'll look at the game it will be obvious that most people looking for some virtual lewds in one form or another. And yes, It does not mean that I can't enjoy other aspects of the game, I can appreciate a good looking room, I am even using a self-build room as my own place and spent fair bit of time in world editor.

But its all about priorities. Yeah, sometimes I feel like looking at the good room. So let's say I'll drop at, for example, moon landing location. I'll spend few minutes - looking around - either walking or looking with free camera. Very probably that I will enjoy what I see. And what I am supposed to do after it in a room with 3 people online and not really suitable for ERP themes? I will just leave - and go to another room. Maybe I'll feel like checking another little room (just to leave it soon again) - or maybe I'll just drop in a room with a lot of peeps where I can get hit on or chose from many profiles someone I like to write myself.

Yeah, great fucking idea. Let's ruin the fun for all these people who are flirting / fucking / just having a good time in a room when it will get automatically closed, just so you and other builders with hurt ego can feel better about themselves.

Not going to happen, unless you have a time machine as that is one of the many extra ordinary rooms that are gone.

I don`t care if people go to a football game just to eat hot dogs, i don`t care that people pay to just stay i wc and ramble on about politics and troll other people that dare venture in, and i really don`t care if people just stay in shitty room to erp, it is their money. I am just saying that i know a lot of people that had enough and left, and that is not beneficial to anyone.

[Twiggy]

I have only read parts of this thread relating to what is coming up with the new update, mainly around being able to give xgold to others.

One thing that seems to have not been mentioned is how this is going to effect how people will go about boosting room numbers. People with cash to burn will pretty much find ways to pay people to attend. They will offer competitions, pay dancers, offer payment for completing tasks just to name a few and people will go there to make xgold. 

The place will change completely where people with the most xgold to burn will be the ones getting numbers in their rooms. 

Then you will get people buying and selling xgold.

It's thosr thingy you don't really needed, but good to have for increasing rp fun——if they don't cost that much

@Gizmo

I found the round table with cards and liquor is bugged.

It can not be selected, therefore neither moved ror deleted.

[Whimsy]

@Gizmo Also, picture uploads in beta is broken, the image never show and causes major lag after. Vape, cigars and cigarettes have no exhale smoke. Hand bags are not visible and loading of saved rooms is sometimes impossible atm.

fully agree. there's so many other things that should be a priority, many which have been asked for over the years here.

for all the time they've spent making neato foodiestuff, they could have, say, changed out the gift icons for things we'd actually use. I'd bet over half of those silly gifs have never once been used.
