Some logical ideas for a cleaner game.

[whitehawk74]

Ahh, Suggestions & Ideas, the place where ingenious sparks go to die.
I have a few ideas here. I think they make sense. Some of them are repeats.

1. Teleport from the ship to House C.
   Running through House J or the Marketplace takes time and also is a real hog on the old PC and it will be less work on the servers.
2. Artificer Dog to get the same shrine buffs as its owner (maybe the training dummy too).
   A minor time saving issue. Also sometimes the dog is dumb as a rock and wont use the shrine heads or resist alters.
3. Green Steel items to the BTA at tier 1 and 2, and BTC on Equip at tier 3.
   Just like the Crystal Cove items. I already have 1 Gigantic ingredients bag and a 30 slot shared bank. All I am doing is causing lag by swapping characters all the time.
4. F7-F12 names in a raid to be placed below F1-F6.
   It is eating up my screen (1280x1024). A small gap between F6 and F7 so its easy to tell would be great too.
5. A guild notice board on the ship. PLEASE!
   Not all of use use GuildPortal or other sites to communicate to offline members.
6. More animal life in areas. Rabbits, birds (3D), bats, horses, dogs etc, just to add atmosphere. Non player interactive. Just pretty and nice.
7. If it's not my pet, hireling or summons, can it please be at the lowest priority of the mouse selection list.
8. A Korthos mailbox and bank. Because of all the TR action.
9. Cleric healing burst to cast on me, without selecting myself first, just like Blade Barrier.
10. Artificers to get Dancing Blades instead of Blade Barrier. It seems more appropriate.
11. Worthwhile Named rewards from Three Barrel Cove. Give me a reason to go there. It's wonderful and different and I love the theme but there is no point doing it for the rewards at the moment.
12. Green Steel handwraps. Make them incompatible with that TOD ring that I will never bother getting. I really dont mind.
13. Damage numbers to be placed slightly lower down. (an option for it anyway)
14. Artificer weapon buffs to have a timer on them.
15. A slot on the inventory doll where I can put my mask. I can see more masks in the coming in the future and a place to put them would be nice.
16. Greaves! No more shall the coffee table critically hit my shins for crippling damage!
17. Crystal crafting. Im sure this was once an idea that was never completed.

That is all for the moment. Flame away, I have my buffs

From all the suggestions, I just think that...

- Airship portal in House C would be very usefull. /signed

- The banker and mailbox in Korthos, would be equally usefull for TRs, but it could also allow new fresh toons to access the mailbox and receive very good (for low lvls) items from other toons (long before they finish Korthos storyline and travel to Stormreach). So, I only agree on this point IF they create a TR only area, restricted access (i.e. must have completed a previous life to enter) with the banker and mailbox inside. Think of something like the Kundarak crafting hall as a base, but a bit smaller and without the crafting devices or vendors of course. /signed

About the other ideas, they can be interesting, but the two I mentioned are the most significant imho.

I cant see the new toons twinking as a prohibition to putting a mailbox in Korthos. If anything it saves them having to run to the Harbor to pick up their twinked items.

I think its a solid suggestion.

I was talking about the fresh toons of new players; the ones that need to go through Korthos storyline. The ones that can't party with Korthos sunny side.

Nobody needs to go through the Korthos storyline anymore; a completely new character who's been forced through the Grotto (first character on the server) can still run to the docks and go to Stormreach for twinkage, or just to cross over to Sunnyside to play with their friends. Putting a mailbox/bank on Sunny Korthos would only cut out a little running without making anything previously impossible possible (and might make postmen smile at the village's rejoicing at resumed postal service).

1) Yes, I would love this.

5) Sounds useful.

10) Dancing Blades? What is it and how is it different from BB?

16) I don't really see the point, except to be able to get more magical effects/AC.

17) What is crystal crafting, and what benefits would it provide? The only enemy that I know of that had crystal DR is the Devourer of Dreams in Dreaming Dark.

[whitehawk74]

Well Dancing Blades (to my knowledge) was a wall of blades that spun on the spot. I guess what we see in the Shroud would be the new Dancing Blades.

Well we have masks now, why not greaves... something more to look forward to.
Greaves to trip, to run faster, feather fall, a/c.. its just another item.

Crystal Crafting. I have no idea why Turbine put them in the game, but if they could be crafted and used in weapon/item guild slots then that would be great. At the moment they are just vendor ****.

/Signed for these points.

Especially the wildlife ! - Should be non-slayable (so to say), though.

Just curious what "twink" gear do you anticipate fresh new players to send themselves?



They could mail a +1 shortsword from there other korthos nub charicter?


To the OP - 11 and 12 are most important to me. #1 seems like it sould have already exsisted.

[licho]

I can generally agree with utylity and easy of use stuff, but not with game changers:

[LIST=1][*]Teleport from the ship to House C.
Sure, maybe there will be even space for some shiport entrance.
[*]Artificer Dog to get the same shrine buffs as its owner (maybe the training dummy too).
Dont care, IMHO ship buffs anyway are too much, and are not really positive aspect of the game.
[*]Green Steel items to the BTA at tier 1 and 2, and BTC on Equip at tier 3.
Only if other raid loot will be ruled by in the same way.
I totally dont mind BtA raid loot, but i afraid its part of "stay longer with use" trick.
[*]F7-F12 names in a raid to be placed below F1-F6.
As long as i can have old setup then why not.
[*]A guild notice board on the ship. PLEASE!
This may be handy, the tool to announce guild raids and stuff.
[*]More animal life in areas. Rabbits, birds (3D), bats, horses, dogs etc, just to add atmosphere. Non player interactive. Just pretty and nice.
Dont care, but why not.
[*]If it's not my pet, hireling or summons, can it please be at the lowest priority of the mouse selection list.
Ok
[*]A Korthos mailbox and bank. Because of all the TR action.
This is good,
[*]Cleric healing burst to cast on me, without selecting myself first, just like Blade Barrier.
Ok
[*]Artificers to get Dancing Blades instead of Blade Barrier. It seems more appropriate.
No, also it will be major nerf to Artificers. Dancing Blades should be given bards.
[*]Worthwhile Named rewards from Three Barrel Cove.
Sure every chain should have a reward, just because chain is old, and everybody who wanted already got it, dont mean it dont deserve a attencion.
[*]Green Steel handwraps.
Sure.
[*]Damage numbers to be placed slightly lower down. (an option for it anyway)
Dont care
[*]Artificer weapon buffs to have a timer on them.
Yes.
[*]A slot on the inventory doll where I can put my mask. I can see more masks in the coming in the future and a place to put them would be nice.
I would rather see more inventory space like 8x8x5 and active containers: components pounch, scroll tube, elixir bag, and wand belt.

Have to say, they are all "good" points and sound like they would be good for the game in general, and save the players some time / drudgery.

Doesnt have to be from their own account. Guildmates, generous players, or even AH buys.

Mailbox, Banker, and AH would all be solid additions.

[FranOhmsford]

Airship Access to House C - Yes please but can we also get:

Airship Access to Korthos - No need for bank to be added to Korthos then.
Actual Teleporter in the Marketplace and Harbour.

3 Barrel Cove Named Loot - Definite yes - Maybe some of the less popular items from Threnal and Sorrowdusk could find their way into a new 3 Barrel List + the Trinkets from Crystal Cove.

Radiant Burst not needing target - Please, Please, Please.

Masks - Just let me show my helmet rather than my horrible spider mask please.

Greaves - Greaves are not Boots - definite /signed to new Greaves slot on Doll we have Gloves and Bracers after all - It's the same set up}.

Wildlife - /Signed - Where are all the farm animals in the Cerulean Hills?
Can we have Bears somewhere in game also please.
