Complaint about needing to right click candles

Sheria · 02-14-2008, 10:44 PM

I am writing this in hopes that the right person will read it and understand why im angry and hope that those who agree will post here to show a stand in this.

I have had love candles, passion candles ect for several years now. Its been really cool to hide them under furniture and have just random hearts floating about.

Now all of a sudden they need to be right clicked on! That has messed up my whole display SMILEY<img src= " width="15" height="15" />

I hate that you have to right click the fire places, the candles, the new teddybear, new candles, and just anything you need to right click, is.. terrible!

Ok so I understand that some ppl may not be able to handle the graphics, but I can!

So how about a compromise or somthing. My first choice would be to just turn the dang things on perminatly, but if not then add a light switch to the game that we can put on our walls. Click it on and "EVERYTHING" turns on in the house.

I cant belive im going to have to redo my whole house because of this.

Gzelle · 02-15-2008, 02:51 PM

I agree totally! I also had random hearts floating around and have now lost them. I think everything should be turned on - on EVERY item so that people can see it how you meant it to be. I HATE trying to "beat" someone to my house to "turn it on" before they get there.

Galldora · 02-15-2008, 06:54 PM

I miss the hearts, too! Another problem, now when I do turn the hearts on, they are moving way too fast. Before, they floated up, but now they are racing.

Aevarine · 02-17-2008, 01:04 PM

I agree, I was trying to create a pretty effect on my pool with the new Erollisi blooming flowers. It looks quite nice when placed right, but that means I need to place them under the pool for it to look right.

The whole right clicking thing means I can't do that as you couldn't actually click on them.

Please add a light switch or something!

yelley · 02-17-2008, 05:12 PM

I was hoping once we selected the choice for them to be on that they'd stay on

. Like the OP, I don't look forward to turning each one on when I come home.

Qandor · 02-18-2008, 03:08 PM

It is not just candles. This is merely an extension of what we have been enduring thus far with other items. That includes the fireplaces and the frostfell trees as well. I cannot picture anyone entering their house and running the circuit to turn this stuff on. Including particles that automatically revert to off each time you leave the house seems to be a waste of development time. If it is worth putting a particle effect on then leave it on. If not don't bother giving it a particle effect in the first place.

Powers · 02-21-2008, 10:44 AM

I posted about this issue here, but I should have posted here in the Homeshow, I guess. =)I don't mind having to turn on the fireplaces. They shouldn't be left burning while you're out anyway. =) But I have fifteen candles in my bard's two-room suite and that's a LOT of work to turn them all on. And if I don't turn them on, they're just sitting there looking identical and pointless. I got them for the particle effects, not so I could have sticks of wax laying around.Powers &8^]

I have done in game /feedback on just this subject. I always look forward to coming into my houses with the hearts going. I thought if I turn them on, they would stay on.

Bitter disappointment. There should be some way that if you want them to stay on you could click it. Please give us back our stay on candles, and go a step further and make the teddy bear and fireplaces stay on till we elect to turn them off. I just hate having to run around and turn them on....this is very bothersome to my game enjoyment, as I am a BIG housing fan; all my characters have their own.

Ha ha. The candles don't burn, though; they emit hearts. Hearts aren't going to burn down the Lion's Mane Inn.Regardless, the issue is that most people have one, maybe two fireplaces. I have fifteen candles. It's a difference of scale.For people with a bunch of fireplaces, like in a five-room, I can see the problem.Powers &8^]

Elorah · 02-22-2008, 12:35 PM

I loved the ideas of the hearts floating from teh candles. That was the whole point to having them in my house. Now that I need to stay in my house and light them every time, it is only annoying SMILEY

Please make an option for us to keep them on as many of us have them hidden and only show the hearts floating.

Kamimura · 02-22-2008, 01:47 PM

I actually enjoy the fact that you can turn the candles (and everything else ) off. However, I do wish that the item would remember its settings so that you did not always have to turn it on. There are several things in my house that I'd love to always have on, and a few that I'd like to have off.. It is annoying to have to turn them on all the time. Knowing that visitors won't be seeing my house as I'd like it to look.

Domino · 02-25-2008, 03:41 PM

The old love, lust, devotion, and passion candles will return to defaulting to "on" soon. However they'll retain their new "off" option in case you do want to turn them off. Not sure if there's time to get this in for GU43 but if not they will be back to normal with GU44. SMILEY

I enjoyed using the candles as just light sources. They are good, bright light sources and I have yet to see anything that can replace them. Adding the hearts back as the default option will ruin the effect that I have set up. I would not mind this change at all if there were any number of BRIGHT consistant light sources available. However, the majority of usable light sources are too weak to do any good in most houses. And beyond that, most light source items do not emit any light at all.

I appear to be in the minority here, but I do not want the hearts unless I turn them on. Give better light sources and I would no longer care.

Kirianna1 · 02-25-2008, 04:26 PM

Yay! Glad to see the effects being turned back on! Thanks, Domino.

Since this change hasn't been around long, I don't see how you could have grown too attached to it. There are many light sources available that give off plenty of light. The single candles that are a t7 item give off just as much light. And the t8 table lamps give off tons of light. Much more then I had expected since I planned to use them as bedside reading lamps. They have to be powered with 100w bulbs!

And once again, thank you Domino!

Make sure to examine the light-source in question. Soft glow equals decorative effect. Mine Lanterns are a good source of "real" light.

However, I will say I do prefer to use the love, lust & devotion candles more as candles than for their silly hearts, as well, but I really like the way some of the crafted flowers look (specifically the purple erollisi flower) for their effect(s) and wish these were on constant. *shrug*

I actually wish we had a way to micro-manage the way the effects came on in the house when someone zones in.

Like an extra Tab on our House Management UI that lists all the items in the house that has a toggle effect and you could individually pick and choose the item and the effect on zone creation. IE: that blooming Purple rose over the doorway could be set to "ON" but the 2 dozen purple roses you have in the garden are just set to "OFF". And, that Fireplace in the livingroom is set to "ON: Cozy" but the Fireplace in the Kitchen is set to "ON:Roaring" etc .. etc ..

That be alot of work, though .. I think we'd get our house items doubled before that went in .. *laugh*

I suggest you use the carpenter-made "single candle" which looks similar and should be an equally good light source. The ironwood table lamps are also nice and bright, and so is the relatively new "simple candelabra" from artisan essentials volume 1, if you don't mind a floor-standing one.

missing_peace · 02-26-2008, 01:37 AM

I thank everyone for their suggestions, but I also want to point out that the single candle is ornamental only. It does not emit any light whatsoever. This is why I said that there is no replacement.

Lisabethy · 02-26-2008, 01:49 AM

Yeah - I would really love to see some of the truly beautiful lighting emit bright light -- I hate picking a beautiful lamp and it only giving a "soft glow"

Dubyasdad · 02-26-2008, 02:34 AM

i thought i got all the vday stuff put now im thinking i missed one. several of yall have mentioned some sort of a flower floater. which i dont have so can you please tell what that item is cause maybe i made it but i didnt know about the flowers or maybe i can buy on off broker i hope.

i love the floating hearts, that was the whole reason i got them and for them to be off all the is just plain stuipd when there is lots of alts to the plain candles. here is hoping it is coming in this live update instead of the next one.

I'm not sure what settings you use, but this might have something to do with it. If you up your settings even just for when you are in your home you will find they give off tons of light.

I have many custom settings and if I go in to my house with my raid graphics set I can't see hardly any light. If I change to my best settings it is drastically different.

Now days there are tons of lighting options, which have already been mentioned.

Vinh makes a good point, check your settings.

I played for a whole year unhappy with candles because they didn't give any light, before I finally stumbled on the fact that it was in the way I had my graphics settings. I figured out which settings it was, changed them, and was floored when I realized the lighting I wanted had been there all the time, I just didn't know it.

And I would like to echo the other sentiments, I would love to have a way of all the lighting and/or effects simply remembering the way that you put it. I love all the different things, but its a pain to have to go through and turn on everything, every time you go home for a few minutes. I don't need anything fancy, I wouldn't mind turning them all on, if they could just stay that way until I change them again.

Now days there are tons of lighting options, which have already been mentioned. __________________ Unrest ~~ Dark Elf ~ 80 Inquisitor / 80 Provisioner, Human ~ 80 Dirge / 50 Armorer, High Elf ~ 80 Warlock / 80 Jeweler, Ratonga ~ 70 Necromancer / 80 Carpenter, Froglok ~ 42 Ranger / 18 Weaponsmith, Wood Elf ~ 42 Monk / 36 Woodworker, Half Elf ~ 34 Paladin / 35 Tailor, Fae ~ 49 Mystic / 36 Alchemist, Arasai ~ 49 Warden / 23 Sage Kithicor ~~ Dark Elf ~ 46 Brigand / 20 Jeweler, Gnome ~ 19 Bruiser / 1 Alchemist

It does not emit any light whatsoever. This is why I said that there is no replacement. Vinh makes a good point, check your settings. I played for a whole year unhappy with candles because they didn't give any light, before I finally stumbled on the fact that it was in the way I had my graphics settings. I figured out which settings it was, changed them, and was floored when I realized the lighting I wanted had been there all the time, I just didn't know it. And I would like to echo the other sentiments, I would love to have a way of all the lighting and/or effects simply remembering the way that you put it. I love all the different things, but its a pain to have to go through and turn on everything, every time you go home for a few minutes. I don't need anything fancy, I wouldn't mind turning them all on, if they could just stay that way until I change them again.
