QOL (Quality of Life) Ideas

[Ransacked]

Okay basically Quality of Life ideas are those that are not game breaking, bugs, broken, or fixes. These would be enhancements to the game that would probably most likely take place in spare developer time (ha!)

So to start with some of the common things:
A search feature in the Auction House in addition to the level filter and buyout only options
A way to auto-sort our inventory by level, value, or type of item.
Teleports to Meridia

Those are just a few I can think of at the moment that I'd like to see "worked on" at some point.

Lockable Inventory Space
Inventory and Bank item log export feature
Show crit range on weapon inspection instead of just inventory panel
RSS Auction House Feed
Auto-Follow, Auction History, and a few new timer/clock slash commands
Ability to Export the combat log / parse data
Ability to lock an entire pack in your inventory
In game web-browser and character planner
Transferable UI layout from character to character + others
House Buff UI Change Request (Buy all!)
Scaling Hotbars
Shared Bank Slots
Game Wide Communications
Mentor / Side Kick Feature
Character Sheet Export
Better Info for the Party list
Auction Channel (Non Auction House)
Color WF health bars different, Auto-use skills (open lock / disable) on double click
More detail party window / Ability to combine low charge wands
Fix Anon & Dark Sky
Unlock 32 Point builds @ account level instead of server level when hitting 1750
Sharing Quests
Unique sounds for criticals
Move party members up or down in the party window
Add friends as an incoming text type and Custom Spam filter

Lockable inventory space, so that items return to the same slots in our backpacks after being used. That'd be really cool.

If you're talking QoL enhancements to the game I'd suggest blocking all of Aspenor's posts.

Out of curiosity wouldn't that type of system cause some pack issues when looting things where some pack slots are reserved for items your currently wearing and then the game says your inventory is full?

Probably. That's their problem to figure out not mine.

And my statement is now justified.

The absolute best for me would be something mentioned often before, the .txt file inventory + bank export. That would be incredibly useful. I'm sure the addition of the bags would increase the complexity of this but it would be such a convenience/time saver.

Another great thing would be a freeform persistant scribble/notepad where we could jot down stuff that is character pertinent. (Swg made a .txt file in the character folder and was really nice.)

Fix the display issues, like showing the actual crit range on my weapon once I obtain Improved Crit feat, instead of the crit range it's always had, scaring me into thinking I didn't pick up the feat the next time I logged on.

RSS feed of the auction house.

[Ustice]

Site:

• RSS Feed of the forums.
• Favicon for the forums.

Game:

• Visible Auction History (30 days) - So we can tell what items actually sell for.
• /timer command - count-down timer
• /clock command - what time is it?
• /alarm command - let you know when a certain time has come.
• $instance - I am currently in $instance --> I am currently in Marketplace 1
• eBay-like bidding - set our maximum bid, and let the server do the rest.
• /follow - auto-follow whatever is targeted (using pet AI)

I've said before that I'd love to see a character sheet/inventory export feature. To expand a bit I'd like to see each inventory item include all effects, i.e. Alignment, if it's a seeker weapon what the mod is, what the damage is on puncture, etc.

With that info, in a .txt file using a similar format for each inventory item, I can build a Character Portfolio database and eventually a program to generate "trade lists" to shuffle goodies between my alts, run "equipped item" simulations, etc.

Ability to export logs, especially the combat log. This just doesn’t seem that hard to do and would be very handy to go back and review to see just how good (or bad) my build is doing. D&D is all about numbers and I want to be able to go back and review what happened, crunch the numbers, and see the results of changes.

Have an in game clock with Stormreach time. This would be very handy for setting up meetings and events as you would not need to take into account the time zones of the various players. Much easier on everyone involved to just say "Meet at the Rusty Nail 8:00 pm SRT" then trying to figure out what time zone the poser is in vs your time zone..

[Yvonne_Blacksword]

how about a pack system that tries to return LOCKED items to packs 2+...
and anything new, unlocked tries to go in pack 1..
or, a system that sorts locked items to packs 2+ and unlocked items to pack 1

no?

k...

...and ponies!

I'd love to see a way to access the forums THROUGH the game instead of currently minimizing. That would be real cool to me.

I also wish that there was a character planner that you could use at the trainers so you could toy around with some options when you level instead of having to do it out of the game and go back in with a plan.

Select the help option from the menu. Click on something like Report A Bug, which opens an embedded Internet Explorer control within DDO. It opens on a ddo.com website with the regular navigation bar, including links to the forum.

That method isn't as convenient as you'd like, because it's non-resizable and it cannot be taken out the front of the UI without closing the browser and losing your place.

• A toggle that makes it so i cast heal spells on myself even when i have undead targeted.
• Ability to mail multiple items and more money in a single mail.
• Failing that. Ability to delete all messages from my normal inbox.
• Timestamp on each line in the chat log. Probably best to make this toggle-able.
• In game clock.
• Sort options for my skill page. By governing stat. By Ranks. By total modifier. By name.
• Make it so a new characters UI is layed out the same way as the last character you played. Or give us a 'set current UI to default' option.

[SidBadguy]

Mine's easy.

I just want them to add a "Buy All" selection to the House P buff caster.

It take waaaaaay too long to do through them all.

[Spectralist]

Ah, that reminds me. A 'turn in all' option for collectibles.

that should be pretty "easy" change to implement with a UI element change. Reface the buff the npc window to look similar to the train enhancement window so it looks like a file tree. Add checkable boxes with a total at the bottom and a "buy or buff" button to confirm the purchase.

Heck it could even look like a tavern/shop UI window where the spell icons are clickable and fill a tray at the bottom. Replace NPC buff animations with a static "You've got buffs graphic" and be done with it.
