5 changes you want to see in update 8.

[Seliana]

1. Give Arcane Casters a purpose beyond buffs and debuffs during raids. (For Example: Spellpoint Regeneration or Remove some immunities)
2. Increased Ranged attack speed AND damage. Rework Manyshot to be a toggle of some kind.
3. Tier 3 of all existing PRE's
4. Armor and Weapon Customization and Coloring
5. Female Models for Warforged. Give us Fembots!

[Alabore]

Appearance customisation - a pet peeve of mine about DDO.

1 - Barbers, like they have in Lotro.
2 - Outfitters, again, Lotro.
3 - Some variety in models - height and breadth aren't that appreciable much, unless they allowed for some really unappealing extremes.
But I'd like to being able to choose different body types and animations - I dislike how my fighter moves and fights just like my wizard.
4 - On a related note, unlocking race-specific emotes for all races. More variety, not less.
5 - Oh, speaking of appearance: half elves.

[voxson5]

In no particular order:

- Sword & Board feat line (better ac / better dr / faster single weapon attack with shield / fancy S&B twf like on the movies)
- Ranged combat love (even the archers on Korthos shoot faster than a high level archer. Feat line to improve speed)
- Psionicist (class)
- Customization of clothing (even if it is just to remove the really nasty top layer from the good looking outfit)
- The "monkey grip" feat from PnP:

Type of Feat: General

Prerequisite: Base attack bonus +1

Specifics: This feat grants the ability to wield weapons that are normally two-handed for your race with only one hand at a –2 penalty to hit. For example, a human could wield a greatsword and a shield using this feat, while a halfling could wield a longsword in each hand. Medium sized characters (humans, half-orcs, elves, dwarves, etc) with this feat can use giant weapons (with –2 to hit). Note that this ability only applies to melee weapons and does not affect the use of crossbows, bows, et cetera.

Use: Automatic.

Halfling players may not agree, but in all fairness it makes sense a 2-hander or large weapon would be too bulky and cumbersome for a Halfling to use, despite the STR score.

[Peo]

1. Sorcerer Prestige Enhancements.
This isn't Wizards of the coast, no need to make sorcerers suck and roll out multiple Wizard PrE lines.

2. New playable race: Steel Dragon
I can dream right?

3. New Class: Factotum & Factotum PrE: Chameleon.
It would be interesting to see how they pull off the ultimate skillmonkey with the most nonspell powered versatility possible.

4. Sorcerer Prestige Enhancements.
Bears repeating, again and again and again. Because they didn't listen in Update 5 when the Wizard got it's first everyone kept asking about the Sorcerer.

5. Revisit True Resurrection.
The increased ability point buy isn't worth as much and people think. Well, unless they are a paladin or monk. Many of the TR optional feats suck as well. Like the FvS feat is a 10/rest Searing Orb spell, the delay is so horrible you can spam Symbol of Death faster than the orb. And since it is unaffected by metamagic feats and items it's damage output is less than the much faster casting eternal wands. Update 7's eternal wand just plain puts the TR feat to epic shame.

I honesty feel like I should delete my FvS TRed to Sorcerer character at this point. It would be much more choice optimum to play as a Wizard or Half-Orc Barbarian. I'd also skip the stupid +5% XP required thing.

[MysteryNotes]

1. Sex change on TRs.
2. Better ranged combat DPS.

This.
*Edit*
500th post!

[DustTheWind]

1.) Realistic cow (centaur) tripping
2.) Pony mounts!
3.) Rust monster musk darts
4.) More realistic sewage water!
5.) Stylish bark skin!

On a more realistic note (forbid I never get the above) then.

1.) Merge more servers within manageable limits
2.) Ranged fixes and ranged will more gradually ramp up not like AA level 20 and then you get slaying arrow and speed. Whats the point then? I want a reason to play ranged at lower levels. And not just AA.
3.) A new classes
(soulknife XPH 26 A warrior who fights with an idealized blade of personal mental energy) or
(duskblade PH2 19 If you find you can't choose between being an arcane spellcaster who zaps your enemies with powerful spells and a nimble, powerful front-line melee character who lays them low with a sword).
(or some other classes mentioned here)
4.) More variety in character design and look weight ect.
5.) Fixing all the annoying existing problems mentioned probably should be 1st on the list.

6.) Other alien planets maybe with star ships and lasers... I guess that would be the wrong game

[Rakian_Knight]

5) Customizable Greensteel looks
4) Epic Necro 1-4
3) Epic Vale of Twilight (more for epic Hound,VoD, and Twilight Quest)
2) Finish all PrE's
1) ORGANIZED INGREDIENT BAGS!

[JasonJi72]

1. Druids, but done right.

2. Customize appearance.

3. Fix Half-Elf ugliness.

4. Prestige III for all existing classes.

5. The ability to disable coming out of stealth when attacking for rogues.

[reaktorblock]

1. No Lag
2. Visible Cloaks
3. Visible Glasses
4. More face options on elves, drow, halflings
5. Monsters trying to stay out of firewalls

[MrCow]

1. Gnomes.
2. Druids.
3. For particular unarmed fist attacks to hit your hard-targetted target first. I'm tired of having stunning fist and quivering palm destroy nearby barrels near my target instead of my target.
4. Resolving memory leak based issues such as UMD client lag, the delay on loading infrequently used graphics or first-time used graphics, and logging onto other characters without shutting the DDO client down.
5. Cows that belong to Race: Animal, or at the very least as fiendish or celestial templates.

[hityawithastick]

1. Customizable clothing/hair/height/weight--make a character more unique. If it comes to a choice, though--customizable clothing. No contest.

2. A little artistic love for the poor ugly half-elves. It's distracting. I don't intend to play them, but if I'm PuGing and one jumps out at me suddenly, I might waste spellpoints on a fireball.

3. Ranged combat is lame. It would be nice for it not to be. Make it so!

4. Can we have one more negative energy spell for the wizards? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeezz?

5. Sorcerer Prestiges. Suggestion: A 'specialization' prestige class. Choose fire/cold, acid/lightning, or force. Each one grants a stacking +10% to damage with those spells, and a -5% to all other energy types. But after seeing Archmage, I'm sure whatever y'all come up with will be awesome.

Kthnxbai!

That is all.

[CE2JRH123]

1) Some serious cleric loving: 2 more prestige classes (a casting cleric: Dweomerkeeper, and a battle cleric: Warpriest), both to Tier 3, and RSoP to Tier 3 as well. ~15 domains (pick two).


2) AH price sort with a tag to sort by price by unit. And improve the search. Apparently I can't type "Holy pure" to find items with both holy and pure in them. Instead I have to type "Holy" and scroll through looking at pure.

3) Fixes for many of the basic pet-peeves (Ninja looted scrolls, UI problems, bugs, etc)

4) Lag issues resolved would be very nice.

5) Organized bags, and a wider variety of bags, would be very nice (Potion bag, scroll bag, spell components bag).

[SyrianSB]

1. Fix AC in epics
2. Ranged combat love
3. An abbot/titan style raid
4. A raid or quest difficult enough that it takes several weeks to beat
5. Armor looks customization

[Sinni]

i'll keep it realistic, knowing that even updates only add small stuff and some content, so new classes such as druid are out of the question (though they would be very high in a general list)

1. a solution to the "everyone looks the same" problem
2. ranged combat love
3. making half-elfs a decent choice
4. mechanic III
5. non-epic lvl 17+ content

[GorseVild]

In no particular order

1. Make traps randomly lethal and not linked to the dungeon difficulty so they are not just something you can run through without thinking until you hit elite
2. Make trap positions random, how many times have i seen the trap box location been pointed out by a character with zip spot skills
3. Improve monster AI so that they recognise standing in firewalls and blade barriers is bad for your health.
4. I would like to see the introduction of the Githyanki & Slaads as a new mobs and therefore a potential story line, not only do they look great the back story also is good.
5. Improve character customization,I always wanted to play a hag and is it me or do half orcs look like care bears?

[Wolfspite]

1) Introduce Mimics - at the start of every quest, there is a ~5% chance for each and every chest including the end chest to spawn as a mimic. All loot from such a chest is +1 above the loot table for said quest.

2) Ability to deconstruct craftable items.

3) Ability to design own DT armour, shapes, colours etc and NO poxy picnic hamper to lug around!

4) Sorcerer prestige classes, especially Red Dragon Disciple -

+1 nat armour at lvl 2, +2 nat armour increase at lvl 8, +3 nat armour increase at lvl 14
breath weapon at lvl 4 (2d8), at lvl 13 (4d8)
+2 str at lvl 6, +2 str at lvl 12 and +4 str at lvl 18.
+2 con at lvl 14
+2 int at lvl 16

Perma Wings at lvl 18/19 probs for show only.

+4 nat armour increase, immunity to paralysis, sleep and energy type breath weapon at lvl 20.

5) Druids

[Senator]

1: Ranged elevation damage. If you are above the enemy you hurt more, but below them you do less damage.

2: More customisable armour. ie i want my Rogue to look dark & sinister.

3: The ability to smash a barrel or open a door without coming out of sneak! Like it used to be (maybe a rogue skill).

4: Stop enemy having endless supply of spell points & never needing to use a shrine to rest, like we need to.

and finally ......

5: Some RANGED LOVE :-)

[cheever77]

1) Sorc PRE's
2) Customisable looks. e.g armour, shield, cloaks etc. Also colour changes/selections for FVS wings.
3) How about a Mass resist choice. A.k.a mass prot so you dont have to cast it like 4 times/person/quest.
4) Greensteel items/weapons to be deconstructable. Due to nerfs done some items have become near worthless.
5) GH to be made epic, all quests. Drop rates looked into for epics. Also look to end rewards for epics, I mean a level 10 item from a level 20 quest as end reward..??? Really

[gott_ist_tot]

I'm afraid all we can hope for (next update being even-numbered) is some quests. Previous updates (hopefully) following a pattern, we can expect some level 15-ish goodness.

Having said that - points 1-3 exactly as MrCow's:

1) Gnomes
2) Druids
3) Fixing unarmed targetting

and

4) WF Scouts
5) Moar inventory management options! Small backpacks to hold weapons in stack of 10 each, portable wardrobe... Anything taht allows your toon to have more than 1-1.5 inventory tabs free! Just a potion/scroll case/belt would get me shut up about this. Well, this and and spell ingredients bag.

[TheDearLeader]

1. More Cowbell.
2. Pew pew pew!
3. Epic Korthos
4. More Shavarrath goodness
5. Energy Substitution : Broccoli
