The whole weapon size matters.... why? They already have delay and dmg based on the kind of weapon they are, and the range which is I believe 0-5m on melee weapons is accounting for your toon hopping forwards to attack and then stepping back. Fame for all... Not only do I think that is just a stupid idea, but it is also a coders nightmare. Pvp lockable encounters... Lol? They have that, it's called the arena. Carnage pvp flags... This is the only one that I think might be decent, but still pretty lame. All that would do is cause  people to get upset. Hell, I know that when I was running around in RE at level 35 in a full group we killed solo level 45's all the time... Why should people like that be punished for using their numbers to kill someone more powerful than they are? If this was implemented I can't imagine anything but higher level fame [Removed for Content] sending in a red alt, getting them killed and then going in and [Removed for Content] pwning gray face for fame.

[songsta]

Agreed. Judge Warhawk rules...these ideas suck...

[Rathskael]

<p>I'd like to see that with Wantia bags as well.</p><p>Has there been a change in Tinkered crafting tools? I equip 2 of the +3% items on each of my crafters and it used to show 2 icons in my spell window giving the bonus....now only 1 shows. Are we only getting 1 bonus now?

You will not see armor dyes, in the EQ1 style the devs have said repeatedly that it is WAY to labor intencive to add to the game at this point. In order to have Armor Dyes in a game you have to a)design the game from the start to support it. or b)redesign the game from the ground up to support it. As they did not do a) and b) would be WAY to labor intencive. We are NOT going to see armor EQ1 Style Armor Dyes for the forseable future.

<p>How about:</p><p>* Sorcerers rejoce ! We redesigned Power Usage and Aggro Issues from Scratch ! Now you don't have to rely on 6 Classes to pull out your potential !</p><p>SCNR,</p><p>Regards, theriatis.</p>

[liveja]

<p>Instead of "armor dyes" .....</p><p>LU38 colorization change: The color of your CHEST armor determines the color of the REST of the pieces, so as soon as you equip something, its color automatically changes to closely match that of your chest armor. Just imagine -- no more mismatches that make you look like clowns, without the hot pink Ogres & Bards!</p>

While I feel the OP's ideas were not the greatest, I like the artisan satchel idea (why are vampiric incisors and other mob drops able to go into them but not actual artisan items?).  Also, I too would like to be able to choose my armor color.  It may be beating a dead horse but if people keep asking for it then it's obvious that it must really be something the players would really like to see.  Dead horse or not it's still a popular request.  That should say something to the Devs.  I will add that even though the Devs have replied in the past on the issue regarding their stance on it, they might change their minds after all...who knows?

[Lazz]

Ok I have one request. Let me share my coin with ALL my toons when I put it in the shared bank. Why do I need to mail money or buy fuels and put them in the shared slot just to transfer money. Please make money sharable. I'm not saying between good and bad on PVP but everywhere else.

Just my 2 cents but I would continue to ask for it untill it is implemented, otherwise they never will

[Chanaluss]

when EQlive revamps the racial models (theyre currently working on the human models), the dev team there plans on phasing out dyes, because it prevents more layered armor designs, preventing more creativity in regards to equipment graphics.

[Haliken]

<p>Actually, they're not so much "phasing out" dyes, as they are reworking them in EQ1.</p><p>Their plan is to make it so that instead of dying an armor slot (for instance, you dye your chest slot red and all armor you equip on your chest will now be red), you dye the armor piece itself. Then, if you get new armor, it'll be a different color until you apply the dye to that one instead, and it's a way to create new armor designs that aren't able to be dyed, to make for a more notable "armor set".</p>
