In 3 Brief Phrases ....If only the Devs would add B4 Release

Ok Community lets play a game. Have fun and don't think too hard just say it. Here is the phrase of the day:


I would be excited about release if only the Devs would


add ____________


and ___________


and____________


before we release this game.

 

1. More quests that reward deco items (I love the banners and some of them are very challenging to get so I feel I earned them instead of them being given to me!)

2. Continue to improve performance (it's getting better all the time but keep improvements coming)

3. Very rare, random loot (This is getting better and keep going since I should have a sense of anticipation and excitement every time I loot a mob/bag/chest even if something is a 1 in 10,000 chance, or even rarer, or even a rare deco item)

Love the progress and looking forward to seeing what secrets the devs still have up their sleeves (you do remember them saying they had some surprises a few telethons ago, right?)

 

1. The ability to see items/prices added to player vendors and public vendors in the SOTA API.
2. The ability to better customize your character (either more "parts", or the ability to tweak features of a character, such as facial structure, build, etc).
3. Horses/Mounts!

 

1. More variations of player vendors that do not look like bartles and james. This is crucial to creating a better looking world. Currently every inch of player housing has the same bearded idiot (sometimes several) staring back at you. When new players see this, they have to wonder why we can't get this updated after almost 5 years of development.

2. All of the combat mouse overs and descriptions need checked and updated. There are so many that just don't make any sense, give wrong out dated information, or have UI problems. For example, celestial blessings shows a percentage of magical resistance, then duplicates that. Which is odd because we don't work off a percentage modifier we use a flat rate. So it's both wrong and duplicated at the same time.

3. Have a viable counter for every combat skill in the game. This doesn't have to be a special counter for each skill, just a viable all purpose one will do. Combat skills like Trip currently have no counter. There's no innate or active skill that blocks it. You just get tripped over and over again. There's also a contact poison that does all the damage on impact, so there's no way to use a potion of cure poison since the damage is already done. These are the types of things that desperately need fixed before release.

 

1. Quests with no bugs, and a journal that updates flawlessly.
2. Fishing!
3. Treasure Maps

 

1: wipe
2: moral system
3: MOB scaling between modes

 

1. Group content
2. Treasure hunts
3. New Crafting materials and new currency that make existing resources useless

 

Spoiler: if we have to be realistic

• Fix the Postal system so that the "Take All" button actually takes ALL the post you have and ALL contents of every mails in it (instead of the current click-fest which destroys your hand's wrist)
• When listing on vendors have a CTRL+SHFT drag pile which lets you drag a pile, then displays a popup of X units for Y price until you reach vendor limit or pile less than X. This so that you don't need to split add set price etc over and over and over again.
• Split the action key into one key for "use" and a different key for "take"

Spoiler: if we can wish for things that won't happen

• Finish all promises to a fun level.
• Add at least three mini-games which showcase fun things todo in the game which are enjoyable in themselves. For instance A) fishing B) treasure maps C) experimental agriculture
• Add functionality so that players can create their own quests adding dialog (keyword-response) to their NPCs (vendor, servant, automaton) and adding generic player quest items for turn in. With limited XP rewards (max 1 reward earned per player per week) With a tips to creator system using gold.

 

Well, I'm excited anyway, but here's my hopes.

1. I second @Baron Drocis Fondorlatos, vendor clones must go! We may be used to them, but they are a serious liability for immersion.

2. I know the dialog system won't change before release, but I sure hope the look and feel gets some beauty.

3. I second @Spoon. Fix the mail, non-functional for active merchants.

 

1. Alternative route that does not involve to going to the Oracle

2. Faction or PK/anti-PK PvP

3. Incentive to visit POTs

 

1. Group content
2. Treasure hunts
3. Factions

 

1. Being able to adopt the children at the orphanage.
2. Interchangeable wall backgrounds for the plays . We have various background pictures in game , just increase size.
3. A doppelganger that will lure monsties away so you can proceed without fighting, of course on a specified timer.

 

1. Unclone the Merchants, Old Ladies, Women in red dresses etc etc. How hard can it be ?

2. A guild war system

3. Balance/adapt combat and non combat skills to encourage more co-operation and interaction between players in online modes.

 

1. Skillsystem/ Resist overwork to not have to skill all magic and make pvp more accessible.

2. More Sandbox mechanics like Treasure Maps, varied rowing encounters, Siege-like celestial Events.

3. Moral/Faction/PvP Virtue System

 

1: A replacement for the coconuts. (While I appreciate the comedic value they just seem way to outta place and kills the emersion.)

2: More tamable creatures. (Even if we’re stuck with the current un-enjoyable Taming system for a while, some variety would be nice for RP value.)

3: Diverse invasions. (Seems like the bad guys went shopping for cronies and got a bundle bargain.)

 

1. Buyback option on Merchants.
2. "Last seen online" in guild roster.
3. Timestamps in chat.

 

2. Mouseover

 

1. More Butcher Stations in NPC towns or a Field Butchery skill.
2. Mixed clothing outfits that don't suffer weird clipping and overlap.
3. PC Vendor Buy/Sell from stack.

 

1. Remove commissions on ALL vendors to make the game less obviously PTW
   
2. Fishing
3. More vendor choices - no more pod people!! this has to be easy to fix as there are so many pre-made NPCs. Just make them random when dropped so we can just cycle through till we find one we like! PLEASE!
4. (bonus) All armor dyable
