I for one could get behind a queue. I would even pay a few treasure to queue additional things. I'd happily pay 500t a pop to queue additional items.

I'm on my computer almost constantly and it's still annoying and time consuming to check baldwin, especially when my internet is slow.

Right now, I only get about 2/3 transmuted materials a day because I don't have 24/7 access to a device. It would be much less frustrating to get a specific material if I could make them in bulk, or if there was a queue, so that I'll have them when I hop back on in a few hours. [b]Even just giving a guaranteed material when you transmute specific items would help a lot[/b]. There are ways to minimize this frustration without making the system OP [/quote] Are you aware that at higher levels there are recipes that let you change one colour into another? No greens? OK, I’ll just break down a yellow into two greens. No blues? OK, I’ll just combine three purples into a blue.

[quote name="gemsandbones" date="2021-05-01 07:32:27" ] I support a queue, only if 1. you can't cancel it. You have to commit to the time total. or, you can, but you lose everything in the batch. 2. can't collect anything until after everything finishes. 3. there's a limit to the total number of things that can be queued, based on time (so you can queue any items up to a total of say, 24hrs, anything that has an individual brew time beyond 24hrs can't be queued automatically.) I can see people having some reservations about allowing this because it would make it "too easy" to obtain stuff, despite many of the high value recipes requiring multiple brew stages and rare items obtained elsewhere. I think these three points address most of those concerns while allowing people, especially new players trying to level up their cauldron, a way to do that a little more easily. I have full unlocks, but i still want to eventually get to 99 of every crafted transmutation ingredient, and it's just so much of a pain that i don't want to bother using the feature. [/quote] personally I have always felt that a queue should go up to six hours or eight hours. That would be 12 or 16 items (2 items per hour). That way people can stick stuff in the cauldron while they go to work or go to sleep, allowing it to work, but they would still have to check back 3 or 4 times a day to add new stuff. AS you said, no cancelling, so they have to be sure they want to take up all that time, and no collecting until everything is finished would work. I also wouldn't mind either it being a perk for reaching a certain level (ie, you have to put enough effort in to reach say level 15 but once you hit 15 you can then start using a queue) or you have to pay a nominal fee to use it. (by nominal I don't mean like 100K treasure or anything in gems, but rather say 100 or 1000 treasure per item in the queue)

I agree that being able to queue up items to go into the pot would be awesome. The issues are ads on the site. They want us clicking on a new page as often as possible to have us see more ads. To resolve this issue, when you queue things up, they could have it pop up in your alerts every so often to "check status" where you have to click on the page to have it continue processing. It's faster and less cumbersome. I don't think it will save any time, however, in the long run.

But, they could also have more ads on each step of the process for queueing items up. That would resolve the issue.

I absolutely support the idea of a Baldwin queque, there can be limits placed on it of course. Maybe you can only queque so many items at a time to be melted. My adhd brain makes Baldwin incredibly difficult to use and keep up with. This would resolve a lot of frustration. Checking FR every 30 minutes seems like overkill to me, maybe it could be changed to every few hours. There could be some kind of barrier put in place to make it less easy and not drastically change the value of items. Maybe Baldwin queque slots could be purchased or unlocked like lair or den slots.

As far as guaranteed materials from Baldwin, I don't support that. I don't think removing Baldwin rng would be good for the economy. It could alter the value of mats. If you are really struggling to get a specific color mat than you can literally convert mats through Baldwin, that feature was added just recently and it's a huge huge improvement.
