What would you like to see in Live Update #15?

[Vicio]

<DIV>Greetings Ladies & Gentlemen, Vicious here!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>What would you like to see in the latest Live Updates? Everyone has an idea so let's talk general specifics. I'll start...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Armor variety, t6 loot tables adjusted, epic encounters tweaked, locked in combat bug, armor proc'ing "bug", armor stats, guild housing, guild level 35 - 40 rewards.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If I was forced to choose however...bug fixes > all.</DIV>

[Russian Standa]

<P>I'd like to see some REAL live events not just stupid Goblin Lottery... </P> <P>Bringing seasons to the game, fashion clothes stores (not just armor!), some events in the cities (like day of the city with fireworks when all the citizens can gather together on the main square and celebrate)...</P> <P>I hope they will bring something really interesting and spectacular to the anniversary of the game release...</P> <P> </P>

[ryoujikaji]

<P>1. make it possible to change our tradeskill class, like if im an outfitter and i want to change to a scholar. perhaps do a quest thing like the betrayal one.</P> <P>2. more double/triple exp bonus days.</P> <P>3. mounts for people with little pocket change. maybe 50s-1g ponies that are alittle slower than the regular ones.</P> <P>4. more tradeskill recipies, ts bug fixes, etc..</P> <P>5. make it possible to change our hairstyle.</P> <P>6. more gryphon stations, and some in thundering steppes.</P> <P>7. more bug fixing :smileywink:</P>

[TheGrauen]

<P>1. please make the goblin-game not so expensive. I think it costs too much and therefor only one player can win a tooooo higher jackpot.</P> <P>2. more live-events</P> <P>3. ink to color the clothes</P> <P>4. maybe a scroll where you can teleport wherever you want</P> <P>5. A window where I can see if a groupmember is attacked by an oponent, so I can better see which agro I must pull from an group of opponents (cause I'm playing a tank).</P>

[Mokso]

<P>Well ok, here goes.</P> <P>1. Rings for RP'ers donating fo the character is engaged or married (no stats) on an extra finger slot. Along with wedding clothing.</P> <P>2. Ships Actually being built on the Ways in the harbors.</P> <P>2. Ships That actually come into port.</P> <P>3. ALL Handcrafted armors of ALL tiers with more mitigation than the preceeding tier's rare, IE Steel having more mitigation than Feyiron, Feysteel having more than Fulginate, Ebon having more than Indium, this was done by allowing the character to advance in the tier of armor that he or she was in, there by the Mitigation was improved as Leveling went by, This Needs to Return, because NOT every player has money time or resources to go Legendary Equipment. This is Supposed to be a game for the more Casual Player, (At least this is how it was advertised), NOT a game of Twinks. IMO it appears that the LU#13 Update was based on Legendary Equipment (along with at least Adept3 Spells)as a Baseline rather than the Handrafted, which pretty much puts Tailors, Weaponsmiths and Armor Smiths leveling in TS so that they can make custem orders, IE Steel, Feysteel, Ebon, Cobolt and to Imbue said custem orders. BTW adding just a stat point to the exsisting stats of both Indium and Cobolt over the Fulginate and Ebon Armor respectivly doesnt really fall into line of how the stats are increased on the other armor Tier's stats. Also why is it that Rubicite Tier 5 Treasure drops have better Mitigation than the Tier 6 Treasure drops? Not only that, but better Mitigation than Tier 6 handcrafted at that, Rubicite can be worn much eariler than Indium and has better Mitigation and in some cases better stats. So why buy the T6 Handcrafted which as near as I can figure out ..has a 400% cost over T5 in fuel costs. Why buy the Inidum handcrafted armors when Rubicte treasure drops are superiour?</P> <P>4. More to follow later.</P> <P> </P> <P>Stormson</P> <P> </P>

[Jor]

<DIV>Remove the stupid 'summoner must do at least 1 damage' rule !</DIV> <DIV>Make AE or AOE spells work even when the original target died (if there's still at least one enemy standing)</DIV> <DIV>More diversity in loot. My good Angband is free and has that ! Why can't we have some customized loot to add diversity ? </DIV>

<DIV>Stability and bug fixes.

[Ildarus]

<P>I really like a lot of these ideas.</P> <P>1. Not all the time, but throw out double xp days once in awhile. Not once a year, but try a couple times a month. Announce it the day before. I know it will upset some people but I am willing to bet each day of double xp you will see the number of people playing that day double.</P> <P>2. I liked the idea about the boats actually being built and some coming and going in the harbors.</P> <P>3. Fix the broker window.-Cant search on Food by level, I have to examine food, page after page until I find stuff I can use. Sometimes if the window is accidentally closed it will not allow you to search again till you zone out and then back.</P> <P>LOL-It is funny, how I have all kinds of ideas when playing but in the morning at work I can't seem to think of anything.</P> <P> </P>

[mio]

- fix coercer charm - add a 'back to hometown' bell in nektulos and thundering steppes. (boats from the cities are one way trip, i fail to see any logic in this and it's not appropriate now that Sinking sand is reachable only through towns harbor) (that shouldn't take long to set) - allow us to see through our characters when the third person camera is behind theyr neck and a big part of our screen is taken by their head. - Push back the invisible walls to more appropriate/'logical' locations especially in everfrost in the wolf, sheep, lizard, maiden area. (sometimes we see mobs we can't select because the 'walls' get to much 'in' the zone and we see 'through' them. I can't understand why i can't walk on those slops even if i slide (remember some ever1 area)) - Fix the ability of the mobs to hide in the walls/ceiling/floors. - Fix the range of mobs group spells (I don't know if it's one mob spell or a large variety of it, anyway it's funny to see my dopple cross half rivervale to go assist my group near the river when i'm at the entrance of the zone) - Finish to list/tag quests as solo/heroic/epic. - Rewrite most of the kill 3x(3x10 mobs) book quests or at least make the targeted mobs available in bigger numbers (look at the hillcat prowlers in zek for exemple : pop time one hour? 4 each time? 7,5 hours of camp to avoid that someone take them before you (or 30 min using incomplete group repop exploit) It's even worst in Rivervale) - Change the 'robe of the invoker' quest starter (2 days +/- my grandma's shoe size repop time!!! Hard? no! Boring, hardcore gamer oriented? yes!! I hope it's not the 'Ever1 feeling' that was intended) - ... (enough for today) <div></div>

[Brackin]

<P>1) Implement the change in Con levels that was alluded to by Moorgard a few weeks ago .. at lvl 53, my blue range is 4 and my green range is 6 on top of that, meaning lvl 43-52 NPCs are all agro... no reason for anything below 45 to hate me... if they are challenging enough to be green to me at 53, then they are way overpowered for anyone level 44-50 to handle, making them deadlier than they should be for the players who use them (and want them) for the experience .. I had my time fighting those levels and zones for experience .. I have moved on from those and would appreciate it if under-45 NPC populace would get over their hatred for the way I abused them all these many months when I actually had a reason to.</P> <P>2) Look at number 1, please.</P>

<div></div> - Code 'Escape' abilities so that it breaks encounters. (I was killing guards in Maj'Dul when a Shiar attacked us. We escaped succesfully. The Shiar escaped with us (or so it seemed) and killed the 2 survivors at Maj'Dul gate. Is that intendeed?) - Give more illusions to illusionists and make them effective from a faction point of view. it's always weird to see Qeynos guards /salute a gnoll. I really don't think they could be viewed as our fun spells, they are part of our class not a 'fun' plus. We're the only one that can't change in something strange/funny (unless you consider our gnoll illus that way, then say so). - .... (More to come) <p>Message Edited by mioss on <span class=date_text>10-11-2005</span> <span class=time_text>04:59 PM</span>

[Keege]

<P>I would like to see all of the broken quests fixed. I have at least two that I can't complete because either the item doesn't allow me to finish or an NPC never shows up. The two that I'm talking about are the Hundred Fold Blade and the Summoning. Another thing that occured to me that fits along these lines is the L&L for Giants. I have yet to get the spirit I need from any Giant I kill. Its the only part I'm missing. </P> <P> </P> <P>I'm sure there are a lot of other quests that could use this kind of attention. </P> <P> </P> <P>My $2.50.</P>

[Brackin]

<P>Was going to add the need to put quest-starter for Efreeti Lore and Legend in game then happened upon OGaming and see it is supposedly now in-game ... but wondering why the trigger is in Lavastorm and NOT in Solusek Eye.</P> <P>If it is indeed now in game, thank you ... dont recall it ever being mentioned in Updates notes in recent weeks, but thank you just the same.</P>

1. You now have the option to choose the difficulty of raid encounters.So many times we get close or maybe we defeat the encounter once or twice. Then the difficulty is adjusted becuase some guild has done it 30 times. Now they are fabled and then complain because the encounter is too easy. This way you can farm the gear you need to progress to the next level. Make it no drop if it has to be.

Although some of the things in this thread are clearly just gripey, most are <i>very</i> good ideas, even if they are much longer-term than just LU #15. For my part, the only feasible next-update change I want is for poisons to survive player death.  To compensate, and keep alchemists in business, they can be reduced to 6 hours (8 for Legendary poisons?) rather than 12.  If they could do it with food and drink (the best of which lasts just over five hours), there's no reason not to do it with poisons. Oh, and now I remember the other thing I want: T6 guild writs.  I actually like grinding by doing writs, but I've absolutely had it with the glacier bears, Kromise hermits, and mammoth calves in Everfrost.  Plus they're already going green and grey can't be far behind.  It's time for something new to kill, really. Long term things -- armor changes and sweeping tradeskill changes and some others -- are things I think most of us would like to see, but many of those don't seem feasible for an LU #15.  Maybe for a #16 or #17, though.  But really, T6 guild writs and poisons surviving death.  Those two little things would make my life a whole lot easier. <div></div>

I also forgot to ask for this : - Do something so that Duration of spell is seen on every examine screen. Actually we can't see the duration on non-scribed spells. As this is sometimes the only aspect of a spell that is affected by quality, it is necessary when you buy an upgrade (from app 1 to app4, adept3 or master1) to avoid buying things blindly. - more to come ... <div></div>

Make Monks look like MONKS not furys etc.  Should have at least an option where once u attune it actually molds on your body and becomes monk look alike instead of being so generic.  I mean every other class looks like they're supposed to Paladins, Wizards, Scouts except the monks and bruisers..... we just look like a copy cat of whatever class we're sharing the outfit with.  If we wear a robe than we're look like a wizard and if we wear leather we look like a fury.  At least give us some new looking armor that is class specific.  I know there is Gi's out there think it's a total of 4-5 for over 60 lvls range.  I don't care you can make the AQ look white, the lvl 30 blood something Gi look Brown or Red, and the T5-T6 Gi make them look Black or Green or Blue or something that at least looks different than everyone else.  I want people to say oh wow there is a monk there and be able to tell right away by the armor. Sorry just venting a little bit, but it has been over 1 Year and there has been no change in this area.  I don't mind any of the changes done so far to combat and so on ... it just makes it more challenging .. but at least make us look different ... i don't it's so much to ask.

1) Actually balance fighter classes. If all tanks should tank the same then all tanks should be able to solo the same mob in the same amount of time with the same amount of power and life left at the end. Otherwise there is no balance. If that is not your goal then you should not say fighters are all balaced. 2) Remove the heroics from the hallway into LS. Many people have seen nothing but the LS beach 3) Add more solo instanced zones. Lets face it you can't always find a group and grinding blue mobs next to the zone in is not rewarding gameplay. 4) Fix the bug in nek where it looks like you are running off the end of the world right before you reach the ascent. <div></div>

Different races having different engravings or etchings upon said armor and clothing.</P> <P>3. Why does a a single bar of metal Tiers 2-5, make a piece of Plate or Sheet for the making of armor and furniture. Yet that same bar can only make One Stud? At the very least is should make (like Roots of any tier can make up to 4 washes, etc etc etc) 4 Studs, or if you prefer.  The rare metals after your done has Ingots, when your done making a rare bar. Have the same for the  standard metals, make Ingots and have those Ingots made into Studs.

Something i expect to never see, but would love../respec class. Lowers your Adventure lvl to 3 again so you can pick a new archtype, or even 9 so you can pick a new subclass. I made a guardian way way way back in November, started leveling her as a provisioner, tried the guardian, didnt like it that much.

Obviously a lot of room for improvement here, but a rough idea anyway. It would be nice to have the ability to be identified by your "colors". Could Heraldry be a new TS class?</P> <P>I like the salon/barber idea for hair-styles, but I'd also like to see tattoo parlors. You'd have to allow these tats to be removed later, but could also be some form of guildclan identifier. Or even a rank system...More tats equals higher rank/status? Strictly voluntary of course.</P> <P>Restaraunts/bars that Provisioners run. A way to make money for them, and also a place to just hang out while waiting for a group to form, etc... You could buy your food and drink here for questing, but still enjoy a beer or two while sitting at a table.</P> <P>I could go on, but these would be my tops choices for later patches.

[Naggyba]

How about decent looking armor?How about stats on t6 armor (fabled and otherwise) that actually make sense and not worst than t5 rare?How about itemization of the high end raid zones with decent stuff?How about doing away with no trade class only stuff like in Poets (group only version)?

[retro_guy]

I agree with getting rid of the no-trade items. In fact I'd like to see everything tradeable, from language totems right up to rewards you get from factions - but to keep the rare items  really rare (e.g. faction or status), make it so the item is "awarded" to the character when it is bought and that's it, you only get the one item.

[Tinantier]

1. Fix Raids 2. Improve raid loot - a couple of adepts and an advanced jewelcraft 42 doesn't cut it for 2 hours of 24 peoples time, this stuff shouldn't be dropping off raid mobs 3. Better robe graphics - they are all using the same model, so a better variety of 'skins' for them 4. More quests like damsel in distress that open up long quests lines - this quest line is great and gives rewards other than coin/items (access to teh peacock club, although the benefits of this are dubious at the moment) <div></div>

<DIV>- Level 40 guild reward: High Speed Camels</DIV> <DIV>- Epic encounter retuning (only for old world mobs) Doesnt make sense that we should have to relearn all the old encounters over. Its all about progression and no one wants to go back to doing the same stuff we spent 8 months farming in easy mode.</DIV> <DIV>- Armor graphics/stat changes for tier 6+, because without dangling that new shiny carrot in front of us, we really have no desire to win anything new. Its like we worked 8-12 months to gain something, then the revamp came in and now we have to reinvest time to gain back something we already had? Stats need to be up'd.. and the look needs to change.</DIV> <DIV>- Guild Halls</DIV> <DIV>- No more frozen carpet rides...</DIV> <DIV>- Guild Patrons</DIV> <DIV>- Shard recovery system, which would help out when shards are unrecoverable. I do think GM's can handle this, but it seems like you are screwed if you have a real life and job. Because GM's normally only respond to my tickets during 9-5 hours..repeatedly leaving me messages until my shard is gone and exp is ultimately lost. At this point you get no help, just a sorry we couldnt catch you online during OUR hours.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

I have all these spells in my spellbook that are useless.  How about spells damage/effects increasing with your level.  I understand these are usefull when mentoring but who mentors?  Right now I have a book full of spells I can't even use.

<DIV>Here is a bit more,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>1. A back slot. That was pretty easy, was'nt it? </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>2. Why have the Crusader class forgotten to use a bow? They sure knew how to in EQ1. What is so hard about pulling back on a piece of string with a pointy stick and letting go? Granted they wernt good, but they werent supposed to be, as is, the Crusader class loses stats and a pulling ability without a bow. IF not a bow ...for lords sake put something there useable only by the Crusader class to at least add some stats. That I dont think makes them  better than a Zerker or Guard, but in the range slot their equal, since they are all plate wearers. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>3. I would like to see a 2nd imbue added to a BP. Lets say a clerice could use a bp with more wisdom, so the Armorer says "Hey I can do that for you, will just require a 2nd imbuing is all".  I Think casters use INT for more hitting power on their spells (please correct me if I am wrong) The Tailor can add a 2nd imbue to that effect, Etc Etc Etc. If this was done, the player is getting not just one suit of armor/clotheing that suits all classes per say, but armor /clotheing that FITS THAT classes chosen ability.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>4. I posted about NPC's running bars and such. Well on an RP note, how about Provisoners able to open up RP type restraunts and bars that could serve players. On a RP Server such as Lucan, I think it would be a welcome addition/change from just going to a broker (though keep that option for the non-rp'ers) and add a bit more content at the sametime.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>5. I have noted that there seems to be 2 kinds of jewelery rare and common, how about a 3rd choice? The ability of a jeweler to combine  the two common soft (lets say Agate and Gold, I think that is Teir 3)metals to make (lets say a ring, though any slot would work on the right side of the equip slots) that would be better than just single soft metal ring, But not quite as good as a rare. This gives jewelers more jewelery to make and something that a more casual player could readily work for and afford.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>6. Two way tickets from Nek and Thundering Steppes, lord why do the ships only go one way? </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>7. WHY do I have to keep wasting time, redoing the Sisters quest in Nek Castle??? If I have access it should STAY that way.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>8. Again, more to follow later.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Stormson Knightsblade</DIV> <DIV>GL of Clan Deathstalker</DIV> <DIV>of Lucan D`Lere server</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

[Diern]

<P>No bows for crusaders, we never should have been able to use them in EQ1 either imo. Its not the "Knight" way. We have spells which more than make up for our lack of a ranged weapon.</P> <P>HOWEVER, we definately need an Item in the slot, an idol, or something. This would make up for the stats we lose out on and is especially important now every stat is important to a crusader, unlike quite a few other classes. We need Agility for avoidance, Strength for damage and power pool, wisdom for resists and power pool, Intelligence for spell damage, Stamina to take the hits. I am personally disgusted this wasnt incorporated into live update #13 we have waited long enough</P>

on the graphical side Lich master 1 - replace that ghost skeleton (spectre would be nice) - and while on spectres, get rid of the zombie pet for higher level necro tank pets, use the spectre <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>

Bring back the sleepless nights and the Lore of EQ1.  Make me want to play for 5 more years. I want a chanter to be charming. I want to see Druids kiting.   I want Monks to pull. I want to see Wizards all alone soloing. I want to see the blur of a Bard flying by. I want  rogues to posting there dps in chat, bragging every 10 secs about how uber they are. I want to see Sk's constantly trying to duel you.  I want to see Pallys wishing they could be like SK's. I want to hear Magicians on COTH duty [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn]ing. I want Necros reverse kiting.  I want Shaman out slowing chanters by 5 percent. I want Rangers AFK with some funky device hitting there range attack button. I want Beastlords to be  everyclass. I want Warriors to be LFG. Most of all I want something to do .. AA's.  AA's for me was the reason I stayed in eq1 so long.
