    Default If wishes were fishes...

    I would like to suggest some wish list stuff...

    - A smoother way to switch between accounts. I do this *a lot* and it is a pain in the arse.

    - Allow some customization and/or color coding of the combat log. Personally I am very interested in the numbers in there, but it is very difficult to read through. I want to be able to differentiate between my blows, damage to me, spell effect, etc at a glance.

    - Nixed Proficiies idea due to negative feedback.

    - Provide some mechanism for identifying alts within a guild.

    - Allow for some way of keeping notes in-game. I would like to be able to keep notes on other players, guilds, beasties, collectibles, etc. So when I target one a notepad pops up. Or when I select one in the who panel, etc. If I am making a group and i have to choose between two guys, I'd like to have some basis for my choice.

    - Designate a character as primary. A primary character would get notification if any of your characters received mail, and would be able to see from whom. This would help a great deal with communications and coordination between characters not on-line at the same time.

    - Allow mail without attachments to be forwarded to another character. Would server a similar purpose to previous entry.

    - NEW Allow for updating and syncing of Friends list with a remote web site. Tracking Guildies and their alts is quite difficult. Syncing the friends list to a remote site would allow folks to update from a remote single source. Better yet, but more coding intensive, put this feature in game. Allow for a Guild Friends list, modified by officers and accessable to the guild as a whole.
    Just some random thoughts while I'm sitting here...

    Please.. I know this is Just a Game based on D&D PnP game.. But lets keep some semblance of the PnP game.. this goes way off that.

    Love those ideas..

    Hate this one:

    No one would use anything but exotics. You would just be raising the DPS scale another few points. Thats the last thing we need.

    I would enjoy having this option put into place. Hard to see exactly what's going on during combat and sometimes moving so fast that it's a pain to scroll through the combat log.

    As the others have said, all interesting ideas except the change to weapon prof rules which should not be touched.

    It was just a thought. My experience is with AD&D v1, so it is all off from that.

    IIRC, they added the ability to make notes for your friends. So at leas part of one of your wishes has already come true.

    Just log out in an Inn, but otherwise, Great Idea

    - Allow some customization and/or color coding of the combat log. Personally I am very interested in the numbers in there, but it is very difficult to read through. I want to be able to differentiate between my blows, damage to me, spell effect, etc at a glance.

    To go even further, full UI customization! That is what I want (which includes this.

    Heck no. The game already deviates from the core rules as is. Weapon Proficiency is a way of giving some semblence of balance and differentiation between classes.

    - Provide some mechanism for identifying alts within a guild.

    I can agree with this. WoW had character notes where you could list who's alt is what. EQ eventually implemented the Guild Window which shows that.

    - Allow for some way of keeping notes in-game. I would like to be able to keep notes on other players, guilds, beasties, collectibles, etc. So when I target one a notepad pops up.

    Interesting.

    - Designate a character as primary. A primary character would get notification if any of your characters received mail, and would be able to see from whom. This would help a great deal with communications and coordination between characters not on-line at the same time.

    I could agree to this, but they would have to increase the # of in-game-emails you have waiting for you.

    - Allow mail without attachments to be forwarded to another character. Would server a similar purpose to previous entry.

    I think this is a good idea, but attachments should be able to be forwarded. Nothing worse than buying an item from the AH, having to run over to the mailbox, take the item out, then mail it.

    This is a good idea also would be nice to be able to select a different server if im on one and play on others

    - Allow some customization and/or color coding of the combat log. Personally I am very interested in the numbers in there, but it is very difficult to read through. I want to be able to differentiate between my blows, damage to me, spell effect, etc at a glance.

    This is a nice idea they could make the numbers the same as they are over my head. To take that even to the next lvl they could do like they did for LOTRO make the UI customizable

    this is a total no to me

    - Provide some mechanism for identifying alts within a guild.

    this would be nice im tired of guildies asking who's alt are you lol

    - Allow for some way of keeping notes in-game. I would like to be able to keep notes on other players, guilds, beasties, collectibles, etc. So when I target one a notepad pops up. Or when I select one in the who panel, etc. If I am making a group and i have to choose between two guys, I'd like to have some basis for my choice.

    this would be cool cus there are players i just never wanna play with again but would only help if it was able to affect the whole account

    - Designate a character as primary. A primary character would get notification if any of your characters received mail, and would be able to see from whom. This would help a great deal with communications and coordination between characters not on-line at the same time.

    i would not care but sure

    - Allow mail without attachments to be forwarded to another character. Would server a similar purpose to previous entry.

    this would be good if it was auto forwarded to the caracter your on. BUT could make that **** Plat spam worse

    Just some random thoughts while I'm sitting here...
    There are my thought on that

    Default we'd all have fins!

    I like many of your ideas (though, as you might guess, not the AP for Weap Spec one).

    I think that the lack of Guild enhancements have been a huge negative for this game, and look forward to the improvements they plan on introducing later in the year.

    Here are a few of my wishes for the game (not just guild related, btw)-

    A) An optional Guild Treasury/Treasurer that helps guilds keep items for guild members. A modification of the Auction House UI could be used for this.

    B) Mounts, with Mounted combat, and adventures.

    C) Revised LOOT distribution for Raids.
