| Author | Thread: Best Premium Features |

Continuing the trend of trying to analyze the best/worst of Muelsfell, this is the Best Premium Feature thread. For those of you who are Premiums, those who remember well what you liked during your three-day Premium trial, or those who are not Premiums but can think of some great features:
What is the single best feature of being a Premium? Is there a single feature that just makes being Premium worthwhile for you?
Thoughts and discussion, please. :D

1) Queues. This alone makes it all worth it.
2) Stance changing
3) I found myself in the few occasions where I lost premium, after adjusting for the lack of queue, missing mostly the navigation features - the golem summary on the right, the day/night graphic at the bottom, the quick links. Those are what made the game almost unplayable - I don't want to take the effort to figure things out the long way when I'm not premie so I tend to barely play at all until I get more money. |

| Queues, Stances are required for ranged to be effective, motivation costs for sending out golems are extremely useful, extra space in my basement(I could still use more actually), shortcuts to certain pages is very handy: giving access to the golem I modify the most as well as my most used hunting ground. That is what I like most about premium. Not having ads is like icing on the cake. |

| The "currently active golem" graphic. When hunting, it is the single most useful metric to know if I can keep farming or need to return for repairs. I can often run 4 or 5 instances longer than I would have were I to be forced to tally the math in my head, and lose limbs only by mistake. |

1) Stances. Ranged weapons are almost worthless without these; normal stance doesn't cut it at all. Aggressive attack golems are also far more useful than normal-stanced golems. This is a major gameplay-impacting premium feature, and as a result, it pushes balance largely in favor of premium users over regular users, and essentially makes Premium required in order to play seriously in the game.
2) The quick review on a golem's health in reports and attack logs, combined with Currently Active Golem. Instead of having to pull up the golem's page and guestimate with numbers on the health of the golem, we can immediately see the HP in full effect. Additionally, we don't have to load the workshop to see what golem we have out, and we don't have to examine it to see what sort of state it's in. This would be more important than Stances, if only Stances weren't essentially required in the game.
3) Queues. This should be obvious. I don't want to have to micromanage the artifact lab in order to churn out a lot of armor, waiting exactly 20 minutes on an eggtimer to pop back in and click again. Same with my Worktable and Buildings.
Honorable Mention) The 'move to workshop' and 'move outside' quick buttons. Saves bandwidth and page loading times from having to go to another page to move the golem.
Other Notes
-Naming golems is HIGHLY useful, but it doesn't beat out the top 4.
-No ads is circumvented by having a modern ad-blocking browser.
-Return times are pretty fair, though the halfing helps.
-Lack of basement is solved by upgrading it.
-Smaller market wagon is more of an annoyance than a hinderance, it'd just make us spam the market with smaller offers.
-Having profile quotes be premium only... simply fails.
EDIT-Repair All is not useful enough for premium users, considering it doesn't literally repair -all- places, just those of the base golem type.
-The other features are mostly unnoticable.Last Edited: Jan 22, 2009, 3:56 am |

| For me I think Queues is the most useful thing, though reduced return time is handy as well. Golem stance only makes a difference if you've got a ranged weapon, and since I don't the difference between aggressive and normal isn't enough to put it on top. The quick-link buttons&easy golem view are pretty nice too, I remember really enjoying those back when I first started during the 3-day period, and missing them most when it left, since I didn't really have the resources to make use of the queues. |

| agressive stance does allow your golem to close faster. tested against the yeti, on normal stance yeti starts hitting in round2, flesh1 in round3. on agressive stance, yeti and flesh both hit in round 2, so this could result in increased damage. of course that area is a swamp, so maybe the aggressive just overrules the swamp. |

ok, two premium features that we have, but I want better because that WOULD be even more handy
1) QuickLinks - let me put a link outside the game (to, say, the community wiki)
2) RepairAll let this really - really - repair all. For hybrid golems, it is an unnecessary nuisance to have to manually repair each component.
I don't see this as a feature request so much as a removal of an explicit block. |

Aggressive makes you faster, but it doesn't help you to hit people that are retreating very often due to the order of combat. Quite often you'll close to melee but not attack yet, and the next turn they'll retreat and you'll close to melee again, but again not attack, and so on throughout the fight.
My favorite premium feature is probably return times. The UI improvements like current active golem and being able to move golems from any page would be second, and queues probably third. |

Favorite feature is probably the queues.
Followed by the little Move Golem Outside/Basement links on a golem page.
The current golem graphic/reduced return times/estimated motivation cost.
Don't forget the larger mailbox! |

Repair all is quite nice...except for two limitations it has. Firstly is that it only works for the material that your golems chest is made out of, and secondly that it only works when the golem is on the worktable. If one or preferably both of those were to be removed, I would be much happier with it.
A caveat, you can use the repair all on golems in the clan depot, even if they're on guard duty. However, it still only functions on the material the chest is made from. |

| definately, the repair all on the worktable function should be a standard feature and repair all irrespective of material type and off the table should be a premium feature |

I've been meaning to improve the repair all and let it work both off the worktable and with multiple types of materials. It's just a bit complex to work out situations where you have enough of resource X to repair the X locations, but not enough Y to repair the Y locations.
Good feedback, I appreciate it. :)
I'm a little surprised at how queues is so highly regarded, but I guess that makes perfect sense (as an admin, I skip the queues entirely when I make something, so I guess I took that for granted).
Keep the thoughts coming.

| i take it you mean skipping the queues entirely DD. i'd have to say...no. having to wait for items to be created is a part of the game, else achievements like the 1000 armor one are pointless, and doable in a day, as compared to weeks of armor making/scrapping. |
