    Yes, @DarkStarr this is critical to improve the way quests play out.

    Perhaps it could also be helpful to create smaller scenes that require Multiplayer, but don't require PVP. They would be "virtually physical" meeting places with some crafting tables and access to mail and banks. Design them to look like a crossroads or small camps. Add a merchant with limited supplies.

    If there are a few of these scattered around the world, I could see them used as quick stopping points for groups going in or out of the nearby scenes fighting bosses or completing quests. If there aren't any player homes there and the dynamic (read:server side placed) content is low, load times might be decent enough. If performance doesn't suffer, I could see raising the character limits for these scenes too.

    That begins to sound like P2W, but perhaps I don't completely understand what you mean.

    Boats that can move and battle - I love it. I can imagine a naval flotilla attacking both NPC ships (Elven, Obsidian, Skeletal) as well as other player ships. Multiple ship types especially for smaller (Town) (Sloops) and of course title option of "Captain" to all that have a ship on the water. Anyone ready to start up a Pirate Fleet?

    Oh my sweet Big Baby Jesus, this is wonderful. I had been spamming this question for every QA for a while, and I thought @DarkStarr was simply ignoring my "jumping the gun" enthusiasm (read: Settle down Daigoji, settle down, still have the final 20% to go), but I was wrong... The Chaos King was, in fact, preparing this massive teaser missive that answers all of my questions and then some.

    I feel so moist and giggity right now.

    I have played a little already with an XBOX 360 controller and chatpad using Controller Companion on Steam. Chatpad isn't much good other than typing in the chatbox or filters, but would be great if you could use 1234567890 for spells.

    Please add a roll/pass system to auto distribute loot when you are grouped
    • The lack of a roll/pass system for looting makes all group looting slow and cumbersome (Or just become you loot it = you get everything)

    Please add a target assist option for coordinating attacks when grouped

    • The lack of a target assist system makes mezzing useless in group situations
    • The lack of a target assist makes coordinating/focusing fire almost impossible in groups
    IMO these two items should be added before book 1 is considered complete.
    They are just basic functionality in an MMO style game

    BTW: Really dig the Discord integration. I even suggested that on the forums over a year ago. It is better to let someone else worry about instant messaging, plus we get their dedicated attention to messaging features in and out of game. We can form as many social groups as we want, whether it is a carpenter's guild or a musical group, literally anything (even spying ;) ).

    Thank you. I was starting to think you guys don't value the players suggestions. This plan is amazing. I would like to see much more done to the crafting system too.
