Thoughts on LU25

[RognarrGreystarr]

<DIV>Just some ideas that popped into my head as I was logging in today.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>For the new clothing line of items why not give us an extra slot to put these clothes into.  And each time that we enter our home city the game switches the gear so that all players will be wearing clothing inside the city and gear outside of it.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>As for the broker is there a way to further sort out different types of armor?  I mean its a pain to look for plate mail armor when you have to shuffle through each of 4 different and allowable armor type.  So maybe make a search for cloth armor, leather armor, chain armor and plate armor.  It would definetly make it easier to sort through on the broker.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

[urgatorbait]

amen, brother - on both points.

I think that is a very good idea. I like the idea a lot of them adding clothing to the game, just for some flare. It would make it that much sweeter for there to be a way to switch quickly between your clothes and your armor, out of combat of course, as long as you had the items needed in your bags. Would make it very fun to run around in the towns and see people in their "relaxed" state. Just got my tailor to 60, have always thought this should have been in the game. Kudos to you SOE for finally bringing it around! :smileyhappy:

[RognarrGreystarr]

very nice about that on test.  its much needed so how about the first point?

[Despak]

It's certainly possible to do as well, Profit UI broker window has drop drown for rare harvest by tier built into it.

[BarryT]

<DIV>Please please please allow me to price multiple items the same price. E.g. My sage makes 20 App IV spells, all need to be 50s, it would be great if i could highlight them all and put all to 50s each! Save sooo much time!!</DIV>

[Drasic]

I see that the new vendor containers are not categorised as either Bags or House Items when searching on the broker on test.<div></div>

<P>I have nine Artisan classes on my account. Is it possible to make it so trustees of your house can place items in your consignment boxes of the appropriate type for sale? That would be alot simplier than having all the boxes in my house and having to mule over the goods from my tradeskill alts for sale.</P> <P>LU25 looks good. I was hoping for more than one pattern for men and for women on the dress clothes, but it's better than nothing - are there any plans for unique Artisan clothing? Right now, my five Artisan-only alts (Sage, Armorer, Provisioner, and Weaponsmith are my Adventure toons also - Alchemist, Jeweler, Tailor, Carpenter, and Woodworker are L10 Adventurers only...for their racial Artisan bonus) are wearing the basic tradesman status clothing from the City Merchant so they aren't in rags...but it's not much better than rags. And it's nice to see we're (finally) getting a second ear slot for another Earring.</P>

[mochl]

Any chance we can have the information from the advanced button moved over to the main broker window (like it was previously)? I like that i can save searches and think its nice and all that, but i really miss being able to change from within one window. Havent been able to log into test to see if this is already in or not, but if it isnt, it needs to be :p<div></div>

[masakre]

<DIV>can we also get a search button for all collection quest items I need based on my journal? Some of the quests that require pages might actually get completed becuase I could justify the time to search if it didn't take all day. This would kill 90% of my time at the broker, along with the new saving of searches. Thanks</DIV>

[Bhagpuss]

The idea of dress clothing that is for appearance only is an excellent one. Unfortunately, the implementation leaves a great deal to be desired. I made most of the T4 and some of the T3 items yesterday and was very disappointed with the results. Firstly, there seems to be just one design for males and one for females. The different recipes seem to vary only by a color tint. That isn't so bad, although it is not very inspiring. Secondly, and by far the main problem, is the design of the male costume. The female one is a simple evening-dress that looks ok, if not particularly intereting, but the male costume is some weird cross between dungarees and a painter's smock. It looks just plain awful and I cannot imagine anyone choosing to wear it, unless they are planning to appear at Nathan Ironforge's birthday party as a clown. Could we please have at least a better item for males if we are only going to have the one design? Multiple designs would, of course, be favorite.

<P>I would like to be able to search for MITIGATION.</P> <P>Sometimes Chain has better MIT that plate.</P> <P>And sometimes leather has better MIT than chain...</P>

[Wrapye]

<div></div>Tangent from the above idea, when I search on something like 'Intelligence', I would like the items sorted <i>on that specification</i>, not on price.  I first want to see what has the highest intelligence, then decreasing from there.Afterall, to present the list in the first place, the code had to do a search on that attribute and populate a table with the pointers to the items.  It then sorted them on price.  Have it sort it on the specified variable instead.<div></div><p>Message Edited by sacremon on <span class=date_text>06-23-2006</span> <span class=time_text>02:49 PM</span>

<P>Since you all are working on furniture and such lately. Could it be possible to fix the placing of books on bookshelves. I don't know if it's the books or the shelves but some are impossible to place correctly in a row. Some bookshelves work better than others and some don't hold books at all too.</P> <P>I would also like to see a bookshelf that holds the large double sized books.</P>

(of course, armor dyes threw most of that out the window)</div>

[Devilsbane]

Add move recipes! Many of the useful lower tier recipes have been taken away and not replaced with new ones.

<P>I would love to see Troubs and Bards able to use instruments. Since I started my troub I have always wanted to have an instrument as weapons like in FFXI.</P>
