suggestion Allow opening chests in-game when we get them

[RockyRaccy]

It's quite annoying that we can't open our chests ingame and have to leave to do so, so I was thinking if it's possible, we should be able to hit that "Use Now" when we get a chest to open it in-game, so we don't have to leave or even shut down our server just for some clothes.

While I too would appreciate this feature from a personal standpoint, I feel you're missing the bigger picture.

I think it serves an important purpose to newcomers. It draws the player's curiosity to the 'Item Collection' menu. Otherwise, what'll happen with newcomers is they'll click "Use Now" instinctively, unbox their stuff, and continue playing, under the perception that the main way to see their cosmetics is at a character select screen or at a wardrobe.

I'm under the impression that, from a financial perspective, it's imperative to Klei that newcomers be made alert to the details of the cosmetics. It's also important for the pleasure of the player that, if they care even slightly about cosmetics, they understand the collection system. So if you still want this feature, you'll need to propose an alternative to the current approach. And it needs to be elegant.

Agreed.
