The Suggestion Index - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

[ArPharazon]

This is meant to be a list of all the suggestions posted, with links to relevant topics and a summary. I will split them into Dev for what Jorb or Loftar said they want, Wanted for missing features which seriously hamper gameplay, Nifty for things which would be very cool but can wait, and Bloats for things which could be nice but which we can live without and not really miss much.

Of course, I initially decide on the category, so you may disagree with where your thing ends up. Feel free to complain/yell/flame me over PM or the forum, and unless I have a strong reason to disagree I'll change the category.

If you want to support a feature, let me know and I will add your name. You can support up to 5 suggestions, you don't have to support your own suggestion.

Anyway, I don't mean to impose my own view of what is and what is not worth implementing on everyone, but I think an Index would be useful for the devs and everyone else. More so if there was information on what the playerbase want most badly, so we might as well agree on a sort of priority list.

I fully expect the devs to ignore this and add whatever the hell they feel like, though. It's their game, after all.

If you want your idea to be added, PM it to me formatted like so:

Code: Select all

[code]
[*] [b]TITLE:[/b] SUMMARY.[url=LINK_TO_THREAD(S)]Thread[/url]
[/code]


Obvious placeholders are obvious, don't forget the code tag so I can just copy the thing into the thread together with formatting. Feel free to suggest a category.

Also, devs: If you complain about something or agree with a complaint, I'll assume it's in dev items. I hope that's fine.

Dev Items:

• Map labels: Just like scrolls. Thread (Supporters: ArPharazon)

  About Thread
• Autospeed: Set speed back to walk/run after dropping objects. Jorb-approved!
• Character development paths: "Available skills and activities do not align to any particularly clear path(s) of character development. This issue needs to be systematically adressed. This is mostly an issue of moving stuff around, not about ground breaking implementation, and in that sense it is a low-level issue." From the About page.
• Credos: Pure distilled awesome. Unfortunately, Jorb apparently forgot all about it. =( Thread
• Havenopedia: "Do we need it?" About

• Travel weariness tweak: Probably too early to complain, but it seems travel weariness might need tweaking if the current situation is any indication. The devs intend to make alcohol reduce weariness. TW complaint
• Visually distinct characters: This is apparently meant to be in. Jorb's Art

Nice initiative, if nothing else as a first place to look to see if something has been suggested a dozen times before.
May I humbly push forward my Unified Dough Theory idea to get the snowball running, and as a test to see how you would classify things

[Potjeh]

I'd like to submit my mosaics suggestion for the bloats list.

*edit* Sorry for my blindness, I didn't notice right away that I need to PM it. PM-ed now.

[Devour]

I support this thread and wish it to be stickied like I did to your mom lol.

[jorb]

As long as this gets updated by the OP, I'll sticky it.
