I've made a couple changes to the way agency lockers handle hand-held "accessory" items.

1) If you are holding two items and swap out one in the locker, your item in your right hand will go in the locker, the item in your left hand will go in your right, and the new item will go in your left. This is just a convenience thing to make it easier to rotate items in and out.

2) Lockers were never supposed to allow you to hold two of the same item. This was really a bug that I took a long time to fix. It should be fixed now. If you are already holding one of a particular item, and you try to get out another, it will force you to swap that same item out. So it should no longer be possible to hold two of the same.

If you have any comments, or experience problems with the new lockers, please let me know here.

Yes we are adjusting our locker to fit the new holding accassories rule. And yes I was holding a camera when I was trying to wear a second one.

OK, hopefully nobody should be getting kicked to the login screen now.

Are items still disappearing?

I ?ve swapped a few items to check and it seems fine now but I didn't try to wear two of the same. Also now we can swap items without having to store the second hand acc. first.

Please try swapping in and out a few things. Don't worry, I'll replace anything that disappears.

I haven't been able to repeat any of the problems with things disappearing myself.

I havent had any more problems either. But I think its also because i cant hold more than one of the same item anymore, so the situation isn't the same as when the problem first occurred.

Yeah, I thought that might be part of it, but Murdox reported it happening when he was holding two different items and attempting to double up on one of them.

Swapping items doesn't seem to be a problem anymore, except for the fact that I still get kicked out sometimes.

I'm sorry Ben. I really appreciate your hard work. I always like your changes. This change is fine, with some advance notice.

Although, I think you are doing a great job. I do want to express how badly this sets back some agencies.

It took us a long time, money and effort to build our locker. To get it, to what we call perfect status, ie for 2 smart, tough, charming detectives to play at the same time with the best items. Hence it is built to hold 4 Tommy guns, 4 shortwave wristwatches, 4 perfumes. Many of us, have built their own personal items around this as well, or haven gotten great with a faction on it.

If the rules of the game change I am fine with that but:
1. Notice would have been nice.
2. I can not go back to winning the items that we could win on non-incredibly hard cases.

This is really affecting my agency. But also me as an invidual player. For instance today, I have to play on smart and tough, holding one item less in my hand. So I guess playing rediculous cases are out of the question. :(

I'm not having any more trouble with getting kicked off. The items swapping seems okay now too Ben ;)
