Daydreams of Mod 8

[SniptheShadow]

(Mod 7 isn't even that old yet and here I'm trying to start a thread about Mod 8. Jeez.)

I was just curious to read eveyone's top 5 wishes for content in this next mod.

Mine top 5 are:

1) Druids.

Monks are fine, but I was really hoping for the Druid class first. I played them many times in pnp and then again later in NWN as well. I love the class, the spells, the mythos created around them, the animal companions, all of it!

2) Half-Orcs as a player race.

C'mon, I want to be a Half-Orc Rog/Barb with a starting strength of 20 and a starting charisma of 7. lol

3) Gnomes and the Artificer class. (That's two, huh?) I'd just love to try it out and be Gnome Artificer. I'm not sure if the class would work well in DDO, but I'm daydreaming here.

4) Psionics. Mindflayers get it, I'm told, why can't we? But once again maybe too complex to implement in DDO.

5) Familiars and pets. This ties into my number one wish because when we get Druids some distant day, I want to always have my Direwolf at my side.

So what is your top five hopes for Mod 8?

Thanks

Snip

P.S. My top five all have to do with options for player races and class choices simply because I'm waaaaay too new to be bored with the content yet. I haven't even finished my VON's. But more is better when fun is involved, usually, and so far this game is a blast!

[Yaga_Nub]

My top 5 are:

1) Godhood

2) Pseudo-dragons

3) Sup Pot 8 items

4) 10 new character slots

5) The ability to start a character out at level 10 if you have 2500 favor.

[Borror0]

1. Druids.
2. Paladin spells
3. More (good) feats!!
4. Skill and level spec, and reroll option.
5. Enhancement revamp to balance AC and reduce pigeonholing (I know, I'm weird).

[Halpo]

The one class that D&D has screwd up and needs to be left out is Psionics. I am sorry but I have had to sit through one too many PNP session where the person who made a Psionics and it ruined the campaign. Talk about an over powered class and that is all Psionics is. It is truely unbalanced as alot of there skills you get no saves or high saves. I am glad they are not in the game and I know I will leave if ever added. Sad to say thats about the only class I feel that way about.

Remembers me of a player I knew:

I powergamed the day I put level 1 Psion on my character sheet.- Gallan Nodel, Psion of 30th Level

[Vorn]

1) Weapon Master PrC enhancement line
2) Total respec
3) Underwater combat
4) Kalashtar
5) Shifters

[Lorichie]

Top five wishes:

1. Single rate for DDO and LOTRO, dont care what price it is, just would like to keep it in the family.
2. To be able to switch from any toon, on any account, on any server to another toon, on any account, on any server, without having to log off and on repeatedly.
3. So many quests that my butt hurts for weeks (from marathon questing).
4. Explorer areas xp evened out, xp per 100/200 kills rather than large gaps we have now.
5. Some type of announcement that no matter how fickle, angry, negative, irate some of us are that we all agree is ubertastic.

Last one is impossible i know, but it'd be a nice breath of fresh air, for me. How we treat each other in game and on the forums, at times, is more upsetting to ME, than anything Turbine could possibly do.
But thats me, and is not a flame in any way, just a worthless observation.

[Hvymetal]

1. More use for skills in game
2. Druids
3. Sneak attack to function per P&P, either by suprise or flanking
4. More Quests
5. The ability to resize parts of the UI

[VonBek]

I would like more elements from the Eberron setting:

• Artificers
• Lite/Scout model Warforged (Fembots!)
• Travel deeper into Xen'drik or to another continent.

In terms of quests:

• A goodly number of small/mid-sized quests at all levels.
• I'd like to see a quest series unfold over a character's leveling lifespan. Interesting to see if this could implement for capped characters as well as new characters.

[Azarath]

Hmmmm....ok top 5:

1. Psionics - Not that different from our current spell point system. If we used spell points in P&P, spellcasters would be ALMOST as powerful as psionics.

2. Half-elves/Half-orcs - We WERE promised their release to be at the same time as the monks when monk talk began LAST YEAR.

3. Aasimar/Tiefling - Make them a favor unlock like the Drow were.

4. Druids - 2 years and we're still missing this core class????? Unacceptable.

5. Warlocks - All you'd have to do is tie a spell point cost to each use of the Eldritch Blast and Invocations. I mean come on, the instant answer to Sorcerer/Wizard addicts who want to wear armor without a level of Bard to allow them to do it.

And the next 5 to round out the top 10:

6. Bring back the WDA - We ALL want this one for VARIOUS reason.

7. Favored Souls - Come on, we have sorcerers, all you have to do is overlay the sorcerer template on the cleric for spellcasting.

8. Use of the Sorcerer/Bard ability to learn spells from other lists through study - It's in the PHB in both classes description, why don't we have it here?

9. PRACTICED SPELLCASTER - As a multi-classer extrordinaire, I'm sure I'm not the only one wanting this feat in here. I mean NWN2 has it, why can't/don't we?????

10. Familiars/Animal Companions/Mounts - WOW has 'em. NWN has 'em. NWN2 has 'em. WHY NOT US???????

[ahpook]

1. 6 man quests for level 16
2. 6 man quests for level 17
3. 6 man quests for level 18
4. Level cap increase
5. More spells

Don't want new classes or races right now as I have no desire to spend another mod rerunning low level content.

[Raiderone]

1) Half-Orcs. Half-Elf or Gnome??? (any additional Race is fine).
2)Level Increase to 20th LVL.
3)Druid or Warlock (Anything please).
4)High to Very High End Quests Only.
5)Prestige Classes and Epic Feats.

[Uska]

1. half-orcs

2. shifters

3. gnomes

4. artificers

5. A lowering of the power level in this monty haul game for characters items and monsters(yeah never happen and its so sad)

[MoxMonkey]

1. By far my top wish for Mod 8 is an overall improvement in the Monster AI. Is it really that hard to make smarter monsters?

2. Add a blink (short distance teleport) for casters.

3. Add levitate/fly as a spell. Revamp game world so that flying/levitating wouldn't ruin any quests. I know it's a big job but one of the best things about playing a virual world is being able to swim/fly/levitate. Things you can't really do in real life.

4. Add underwater content. Sharks, squids, manta-rays, giant piranahhs in 3barrel cove waters. While you are at it add seaweed and corals, and bubbles while you are under water.

5. I really would like to see psionics and a psionist class added to the game.

6. I would love to see player buffs show up next to party members (this should be a toggled feature)

7. I would like to see the bug fixed that Charmed monsters hold up quest progression until they are killed.

8. I would like to see Dimension Door buffed so that it could take you out of an instance or take you to another dimension where healing is increased and you can learn spells.

9. I would like to see Drow Elf have some negatives such as lowwered charisma, vendors charging them more for items and/or certain vendors not selling to them at all making them have to travel further. Basically I would like to see some negatives to the drow race such as the negatives the old Forgotten Realms Drow had.

10. I would like to see a black ninja outfit for monks to wear that increases stealth and move silently.

11. I would really really like to see very rare item drops for really cool unique gear!

12. I could probably make this list easily 100 items long but instead I will stop there!

[moonprophet]

A ring of Evasion
Just simply fix everything that is broken
More Quests
A revamping of the Orchard
More low/mid/high level raids, maybe have those new multi item sets but have all the peices fall from differnt raids.
