Official "I have a Suggestion" Thread

I've also posted this in the newbie sub-forum. This version is for the developer.

Despite having read the in game help file and the website guides to chat, I still am uncertain how to properly use squad chat or whisper chat. The guides are very unhelpful. I see / and !! only on the website and ingame are those plus ~! or was it !~?

I understand that I have to use these marks in combination with someone's IGN. That much was explained but these protocol's really NEED TO COME WITH EXAMPLES that are better than the ones written into the guide.

I believe the guide says something like type /username than post a message. My confusion stems from whether there are hidden rules that I also need to follow. Is there a space on both sides of the / or !! or !~? Is a space required after the /. !!. !~? I think I noticed a colon being used. Is that needed to make the chat system message post properly?. Does the / protocol assume that the first word coming after / is the IGN and everything after the SPACE after the name is the message? Also, are all instances of / and !! and !~ treated the same way? AKA are these character not allowed to be used in any other instance?

I'm a total MMO and chat newbie so I really would appreciate even more detail even if it induces eye rolls from the general crowd. Sorry everyone, some people like me are just that stupid and really need their hand held a little bit.

In an attempt to answer these questions myself, I've whispered to a few players in game but since no-one has whispered back I can't tell if I'm doing it right. Rightly so especially if I haven't been using the chat protocols correctly. Plus I don't want to take people "out of the game" to help me with a META problem.

Anyway, please call me an idiot. I'll gladly take the verbal punishment if someone would just help me out here.

I agree with all of that. I think they should make there quest log a little more understandable. Some of them should be a little more detail. But not to the point it give everthing away. I also think they should make the NPCs a little more active. Maybe with some vioce over and more movement. I think the environment needs to be more active as well. Maybe some weather activity going on every now and need to make it seem more realistic. Whats also annoying is look for matrials in the onpen land. I think they should have like one mail patch for each plant material. In different areas and maybe a tracking on the map to help you find it better. With mineral materail I think they should have like a mine around. Where you just dig for the material and get random mineral materail place in that mine. I think that would be easier the spending hours running around looking in so many areas to get the material you need.

I really don't want to read all the 2 *something* pages so I just apologize if these suggestions have been already suggested:

Sounds/ music

I got bored to the sound that comes when you walk after 5min of gameplay. This is why I think it should be modified or something. It's really annoying to me anyway. It like digs into my brains... Ahh so annoying anyway. I also dislike the general bg music (thank god it can be turned off). It sounds so typical and nerdish. Makes me feel like a nerd O.o It also resembles those bg musics that were used in the first games ever made. Ti-ti-tii-ti-ti-tii...

Skills and general graphics

Starting with the skills. Well I have to say that this isn't maybe that important, but I think that the skills look awful. They don't have any proper depth in them and they are so unpolished. Also PvP looks really bad (REALLY BAD). It resembles a Runescape duel. Somehow it seems that the players aren't interacting each other (trying to say: attacks only lower the HP of your opponent and your MP, they don't do anything else). It's just pain to my eyes to watch them. I'm sure they are better than average (well not tbh), but I would really like if the skills could be made better because the game has a lot of potential.

Now general graphics. I'm sure that there are some limits to them. "Player with the average computer should be able to play the game" or something. But I just have to say it: the woods (non city areas that is) look bad. They are so repetitive and boring. Grass looks like *censored* and trees aren't any better. It's really boring to to go somewhere where you can't teleport or fly because then you'll have to watch the same trees and such go by. Again it is so much like Runescape forest (only Runescape owned you this time ). But I have to say that you've done well when talking about the cities. They look really good (except city of plume: it's just so boring). Well okay, I haven't visited them all yet but those that I have visited look great. If you could make your skills, music and forests look like your cities the game would probably be perfect.

And if someone wonders why I have so "high" standarts it's because I'm a cabal player. Cabal online truly has the best graphics when talking about the free MMOPRG. Skills look also awesome and musics aren't bad either. Non city areas are really full of things and they don't look like they would repeat themselves.

Well I understand that PW can't ever beat the cabal online when talking about graphics because the games are build very differently. But just have to make clear that what are the kind of graphics that I've used to.

Oh and the fonts and font colours are bad to me too, but I can change them myself (probably).

Promoting

I watched those interviews from one of the game developers. Who was the guy? Why in the hell did you pick him? I'm not a native English speaker so it was kind of hard to understand something from that mumbling. The guy - obviously - was a terrible speaker. He had probably memorized those lines of text or he read them from somewhere. You should have chosen a guy:

- who can speak clear English
- who can tell us about the game without memorization
- who is a good speaker
- who doesn't move his hands like "oh, this is the spot where I move my hands this way"

Also the other promotion videos are bad.

- too long
- have too much "blablablabaiblaa" in them

... and so on

These vids are really important to an average player as he/she can take a glimpse from the action from them. I would not have downloaded the game if would have watched the promo videos first. They are so poorly made.


Forum

Get rid of those vBulletin smilies. They are the worst kind. Arent there any packs that you could replace them with? Also making the "info panel" on the forum index a scroll out would be neat Now it kind of rulens the nice bg that you have there.

NO HARD FEELINGS AYE?

I have some locations for rare pets saved and would like to be able to add for than 5 on my map.

1) More Barbarian variety would be nice. Go to any other class and you've got a pretty reasonable thousand-fold more varieties than you do with the barbarian. Hawk, Eagle, Vulture Brown/black bear, Cougar, Lynx, Coyote, Badger, Wolverine, White Tiger, Panther. And removal of the sexual limitations of the untamed same as everybody else wants.

2) Adjustable head attributes on the elves and venomancer, I mean the Blood Mist wings look kinda out of place on my elf since she's got some feathered wings coming out of her head, maybe just color adjustability, but yeah.

3) Colorability of aerogear and fashion items initially rather than just later through dying. Keep dying in case of desire to change color, but the "random" initial color is almost always hideous.

4) Ability to display equipped aerogear when visiting the beautician. Though not really necessary for humans and untamed, the elves aerogear is essentially a part of their body and should be able to be color matched to it, or their body matched to the gear.

5) Add the rest of the cash shop gear from other servers, or at least a comprable quantity of items if not the identical items. Just because we're technically an "open beta" doesn't mean we should be deprived of what can be gotten elsewhere.

6) Optional visible hats, 'cause sometimes, I want to see what's on my head.

7) Koala rare pets, Kangaroo mounts, emu mount

It would be nice if one could move character from one server to another. Maybe another charge service *wink wink*

Needs way more quest from 40+, grinding it is just painful and not very enjoyable to i am sure more than myself.
Ppl want c high end game content and could well be put off by mindnumbing (target mob, macro 1, = mob dead repeat 400 times) .

Possible a 1st tag system aswell to stop the killstealing (similar to wow) i hit it first, it greys out meaing its been tagged all exp loot is mines and anyone else who hits it will not leech exp or do more than 50% damage to take the mob from you.

Crafting mats should have a chance to drop from mobs aswell like 10% chance (this help econimocs of game more ppl crafting,selling ingame) leaving the GOLD for more exclusive gold shop items Like the 50g boa etc) i know why crafting mats can be bought but well not everyone can afford to blow a fortune of RL money just to make a set of armour (another aspect that could put more ppl off )

i dont know if anyone mentioned this.... but i wouldn't mind having a teleport thing to friends. I dont know how many times my "noob" friend got caught in some scary situations with enemy way higher lvl then her and I cant get to her in time before she dies. Plus it cuts down on time trying to travel by walking to get to people.

*they dont have this do they? cuz if so then someone please find me (emaleigh is my char. name) and explain how to do it.

i see privete shops in any place i go, i think need somes rules about the zones allowed to put a private shop, somethink like:

- Any Grass area in to the towns
-On Ancient Dragon City can use corridors intersections, but not the corridor at all
-no private shops at little towns, (example: Hidden Village)

or somthink like that.

I'd like there to be a dead zone around every NPC. Maybe a 1m radius?

I would like to see a way to set up a consignment shop without it needing to use a character. What I mean is that there should be a pet (since the shop already looks like it is a pet cat) that you can get from the cash shop that does not require any maintenance that can be used to set up a consignment shop just like the ones we use now, but your character can leave and the shop will still be there. Perhaps people can even get multiple copies of this pet (thereby making pet bag slots actually useful) and set up shops in several places. Also, it would be really nice if these shops could be set up to stay on even when the main character is not logged in. This would prevent us from having to leave our computers on all day every day like we do now and would also reduce the number of people that make extra accounts for no reason other than to set up shops with. Since the pets would be sold in the cash shop it is an opportunity for your company to make money as well.

And while I am here I would really, really like to see a way to have more than just 12 items listed in the consignment shop. 12 spaces is just not enough. I have dozens of items in my safe that are waiting for a spot to open up in my consignment shop.

probably not important, but it would be neat if there was some option for character height, I mean people IRL are different heights, so why not their characters? some people might actually like having a character 3 feet tall or 8 feet tall or whatever, I don't expect (or want) it to affect gameplay, just, you know, aesthetics, think you could do that?

I agree. Male characters are about...what? an average 5'8" i'd say. And about 5'4" for females. It'd be real nice if you would make the character creation system a lot more unique by letting character height be an adjustable option. Not only would it allow more individuality, but it'd let people express themselves more accurately.b:victory

I like this idea, i dont really like getting pked

now wait a sec no offense but if you don't like to get PKed you should be playing on one of the PvE servers

I have no idea if this was mentioned yet... but can an armory be added? In WoW (I dont play it but my friend showed me it) there is an armory that allows people to see your equipment, level, guild, strengths, Dex and so on. That would be a really cool feature on the site... At Least IMO.

ok im not fully sure if someone has posted this one yet but how about a screen capture mode...closes or makes all menus 100% transparent for that awsome screen cap....now if there is one already and i havnt found it in game yet...plz PM it to me

I think if you go under settings, and click UI. You can take all of the UI (User Interface) options off, leaving your screen un-filled with menus and what not. Thats what I think though.
