    just make it able to be dyed please :) all armors and clothing would be wonderful if they were able to be dyed but i understand that would take a big effort in redoing textures. i would fully expect anything new to be able to be dyed though.

    Plate and chain armor isn't currently dyable, though this has been a suggestion through the years. Seems we want to do this now, but a matter of when is the question.

    Agree 1000%

    Shroud of the Avatar should have its own identity. I know that it can't directly use Ultima IP, but it should be developing its unique Ultima-ish IP rather than just ripping off other people's work. The book was a good start at creating a unique world with a unique identity, and the game should have carried on in that direction. Adding a Darth Vader costume and light-sabers just makes this game look like a cheap, generic, Chinese knock-off MMORPG.

    I'd rather see the game delve deeper into the Obsidian lore, and come up with variations of their cosmetics. Flesh out the backstory of the world more, introduce a new civilization and sell cosmetic items from that new in-game culture. Make the game unique and memorable.

    Please Leave the "U" helmet option available so us who like that traditional samurai look can still have it.

    Did the XP item from supply bundles get dropped?

    Agreed! Variety and options I say :) I can't wait to see what he comes up with next.

    There's a handful of items still pending a patch or two.

    @Elgarion There is currently one set of dyable plate. They released it like 8 months ago. I have not seen it in the store since. It is the heavy plate armor pack in the store now, but it was dyable. Give me a shout if you want to see mine.

    Hmmmm, interesting. I trust what you're saying, no worries. The tendency is to add dying capabilities to more and more things, so hopefully you'll have more plate/chain added to that limited mix at some point.
    What is this mystery page that I missed? "Main Patch Window Page... hmmmmmmmmm. Link?

    I would settle for a regular one-handed katana that could be dual wielded (either with another katana or a wakizashi or another Japanese sword).

    I am not impressed with Star Wars (How many Star Wars rewards must we be given?) rewards or Bunny Ears.. My game play is inside SoTA not Star Wars or Strip Clubs. When can we start getting some Rewards more meaningful towards the game itself? And not based off a "cute" idea. At least in UO when you got a reward it was usable and game related. Burning top hats doesnt appeal to me... I can go on on on... Not one time have I received anything Viking related as a reward for my 1o months of payment.

    It is hard to covey humour or sarcasm in text.

    There's a whole slew of Star Wars content missing from the game, possibilities are endless.

    Baby Yoda pet for the house (that would be a huge seller!)
    Bounty Hunter armor that makes you look like Boba Fett
    Have the fractured moon slowly recombine into a Death Star
    Reveal that Kobolds are what Jawas actually look like underneath their robes.

    Did the extra XP from bundles make it in yet (there are no patch notes)? I don't want to open my bundles until this is in.
