What this game needs from an expert

mollyhatchet

1st, why am I an expert?
I’ve been playing online mmo games since Ultmia beta, have played practically every mmo and have heard practically all the complaints there are to hear over the past 15 years or so..

Want to make this game great? Here are a few examples.

#1 Need more quest- you should have enough quest every level to level you up without needless grinding of mobs. And don't just make quest that are grinding mobs. Quest should have a reward equivalent to the difficulty of completing it, Have quest that yield xp, items. Whatever, but a player needs to feel his or her time doing the quest was worthwhile and not just an hour grind for nothing.

#1 Players need a means to communicate with all players across the board. Yeah you can buy teleacustics, but many players can’t afford them, or new players just don’t know about them.
New players are the life blood of any game, and when a new player cannot openly ask questions to the masses they get frustrated and quit. I realize this game is "Free" makes its money from the players who buy Teleacustics and other items from the Boutique and that’s fine, but a world without free speech isn’t a perfect world after all.

#1 this game incorporates some of the most basic game play abilities that all the current more popular subscription based games have, but their incomplete. Factions (Guilds) are in the game but basically are good for only a free chat system. Perfect world needs to incorporate some instances that require (raids) with progression to give a guild something to do besides is a chat room. The Faction needs to have its own bank available for Faction members to be able to deposit useful items in for other Faction members to use.
I could go on and on in more Faction improvements but I’m trying to keep it basic for now.

#1 Flying mounts are one of the latest and greatest additions to any MMO, however, Perfect Worlds flying mounts are way to SLOW! Start off a player on a beginner flying mount that’s about as fast as the fastest current flying mount. Have quest or allow players to buy faster flying mounts off of the Boutique that are faster, there should be flying mounts that are way way faster then running or riding ground mounts.

#1 Players need to be able to inspect their buddy who just annihilated a tough monster to see what gear they are using. Players need a way to link publicly in an open chat channel the Uber gear they just received. Bragging rights play an important role in keeping interest in a game.

Other minor things ill mention are as follows, Auction house needs a better search function, , search my item name for instance not just an auction number. Add some filters for levels and class. Ooo and a very important thing to mention is

#1 more races and classes. 3 races just isn’t sufficient,, their should be at least 10 races and double that in available playing classes, we need more then just a tank, cleric, archer, veno, and wizard, that’s just basic stuff,, give us some options. A heavy armor class could have as many as 4-6 classes who wear heavy armor and as well for light and arcane classes. Wizards-Mages-Enchanters-Necromancers-ect ect, Have 4-5 basic archetypes and let them be broken down into multiple class choices.


I have about 20 pages written on what I classify as a “Perfect Game” however I’m not giving it all away for free...Who knows, someday I may make my own Perfect world..

Before I read the last sentence I was gonna suggest you get into the business of making MMORPGs

Sums up this thread quite nicely.

Playing MMOs doesn't make you good at the business behind them.

If you want a different game, play a different game. This is PWI, barely more than a translation of the PW for other regions. It may have some minor changes here and there, but they're not going to revamp the game.

A guild storage would have its uses for sure though. That would be a pleasant and welcome minor addition.

Honestly I've already realised quite a few of these aprticularly the lack of use found in a faction/guild, the lack of questing available, and the chatting system and hell I'm not even level 20 yet. I hate to imagine what I'm going to find when I start getting into higher levels.

Well put, smart suggestions. Thumbs up!

Lol, I just moved to this game from WoW, so I defenitely agree that these adjustments should be added, they kind of mirror a lot of things in WoW, however they ARE minor so it would do nothing to make the games similar in my opinion. And in addition, a faster combat system for the love of god, it takes way to long for spells to react once you click on them its ridiculous. And the time between casting them disregarding the cooldown is just... oof. FASTER COMBAT PL0X.

There is better class of people here More layed back than those who P2P . who have the holy than thou attatud WOW seems to exibit when i talk to the players there. guess they dont wanted to be reminded on how crappy WOW is and how much money there throwing away a month.

So if you have any other questions bout WOW or any other crappy P2P games fell free to add to post

If they made Flying mounts faster than ground mount who would buy Ground mounts (waste of money already) the flying mounts will never be faster to help sell **** on the Cash Shop...

I have noticed that the atmosphere is more layed back which I definitely appreciate, I also have noticed more helpful people, but in all pragmatism I'd have to say this is inherent not just of this game but of this game's comparitive low population... the more people you get, the more chances a person of ill temperment has to show themselves.. enough off topic (I digress)
Many of these suggestions would change the feel of the game which may or may not be advantageous... my only request (and I may just not know of an existing ability) but can we please have a "cycle targets in range" button? or at least "target nearest enemy" and if that is possible... an "assist current friendly target" button.

Thank you for your consideration,
Grothiniel

While I jumped over to another thread, (Is this game sexist?) I realized, yep... mean people do exist here as well!
