    I did actually check this out but as it turns out there appeared to only be one new hairstyle, and I had to spend COTOs to browse (which is very silly as I needed to go back to customer support and pester them to refund my cotos when I didnt buy any new styles)

    Is there progress on custom POTs? Maybe an ETA.

    I know many have chosen to go with templates that have static or dynamic layout primarily because of release, but I've been excited for the POT owners that plan to stick to more of a custom design.

    I'm completely sold. If even half of these come to fruition...this game will be groundbreaking!

    How about Necromancy system - Frankenstein style!
    Death skills are all great but how about being able to piece together your own minion(s)

    First you would harvest "ingredients" much like with any crafting activity, by killing the enemies of choice. You would then summon a cool "Harvester" pet (who would of course look suitably ghoulish, perhaps with a large sack on his back to hold the gathered body parts) :) - He is of course vulnerable to attack so it is important to protect your Harvester while he takes body parts from your fallen enemies. Once gathered you would then go to your "crafting table" (which could be an Altar or operating table of some kind) and assemble the parts. The cool thing would be that by combining different parts from different enemies your finished minion can contain elements of each. This would mean you could custom create your own being! For example by combining a Satyr archer with a Human mage, you may come up with a creature that can fire magical arrows and have a unique appearance, half Human half Satyr, for example. (Obviously there would be limits but hopefully the art could be added to support the creation of these hybrids in game)
    Your minion, as a companion would gain experience and level. You could even "enhance him" by adding body parts from different enemies. Could be a really unique system and allow all to become that true Necromancer they have always dreamed (had nightmares) of becoming :)

    Just my thoughts :)

    Kind Regards

    This Please for the love of all things holy!! :D We spend Sooo much on our POT's, these steep limits are horrible. With the massive increase in performance we've seen, can we please get some love on this matter sooner rather then later!

    Hello,

    Outside of any Steam Achievements, is there a planned achievement system, something similar to say SWTOR, or Diablo 3 ?

    Best Regards

    PLEASE fix the fishing system. A perfect cast in the middle of a school of fish should improve the chances of catching a fish, as an example. The fishing system in general is lightyears behind current technology as far as realism and immersive play is concerned.

    I have a few ideas to share:


    Economy:
    Traders from abroad appear at town docks, taverns or town squares for a short time (a week maybe). They sell odd items, items from foreign lands, and give quests so gather items they are looking to purchase

    I am unfortunately not in the best spot for foot traffic so it would be great to be able to register my shop and location with the town crier. or a quest to visit shops (keep the economy running).

    Upgrade mail system to have purchase orders for items so that things that I can easily make in my part of the world can be traded or sold to others that may have things I need / want.

    Fishing upgrade:
    More variety of fish and fish that pertain to the bodies of water. Catfish in a swamp or creek, bass, salmon and trout in rivers and lakes, snook, snapper, grouper in oceans. And how about crabs and crawfish and more spawns for oysters. And more recipes for seafood.


    The journal / questing log system:
    For a completionist like myself, the current system is so very muddled, confusing and irritating. You can't tell what quests are complete and which are not. How about making quests into "chapters"? How about adding a "header" that states ongoing or completed.

    Taming:
    How come there aren't stats displayed to show what the level of your pet is?
    What are the attack rates?
    How come I can't reward my pet? Feed it, with treats that are made in the cooking skill that add buffs.

    Lastly Banks:
    It would be nice if the bank was just like banks today where my "money" is available everywhere. It's frustrating to travel all over the continent getting encumbered with no where to drop your precious resources.

    A disclaimer that this thread is a year and a half old as of 2019.

    Alot has happened since this was posted, tho these things are what the devs want to put in game and some of them already have, some may not be in this year

    This is why you should make a new thread, and not open up ones that have not had comments for 6 months.

    really excited for all this content! looking forward to SotA's future!

    Woooo megafauna!!!


    I like this feature. Can smaller / sparse towns get an increase in wildlife? My town has few members, but also few deer and such. Id like to hunt in our forests, but theyre bare.



    Thanks for adding some enhancements to agriculture. Can you please add some to Cooking? We desperately need the batch skill. Please add enhancements to the Cooking tree to your list of things for "Episode 2". At a bare minimum, can we focus on quality of life improvements? Though, I would love for cooking to be much more in-depth :)
