This thread isn't going to be moved to the Wishlist. It's a bunch of repetition of ideas with nothing unique :} If people have something new and never before suggested, the Wishlist is yours. Otherwise this thread would get locked, as all duplicate threads do, and thus for the sake of amusement I'm leaving it here.

You guys have some very ambitious wants :P

If people only knew how many of their wishes will become true soon(tm)(r)(c)...  :devil:

Actually this is the week of brainstorming for the next release.
I think people should have the chance to fire away their thoughts... but please nothing TOO fancy (like "i want prisons with NPCs running around fully automatically capturing and imprisoning people").

No, this has been a wish of the entire GM team for quite a while now :} [GM]Dave influences would make me ask for a dragon.

* Einnol takes aim and pulls the trigger.

These all fall under the "Duh, that is so obvous" category.  But, if the key phrase is "for the next release", then there wouldn't be anything too revolutionary anyway.  With that said, here is my own little wishlist for 0.3.017:
  • Assuming that it would just plug into the existing crafting system easily enough, axe making.
  • 2D inventory icons for weapon parts (dagger handle, dagger blade, sword handle, and the assorted sword blades).
  • 3D models for the above.
  • (And one for Alleri) Sit animation for female Stonebreakers.  The wife has been on her feet so long that she's getting grumpy.  ;D

Well, short-term wishlist:
-All animations for all available races
-Enable all those animations, like the beatifull casting animations.
-Enable npc variations
-Fix the sacks problems, there are countless posts for them in the bugtracker
-Revised magic system
-Small plugin to the crafting system: turn the fireplace in the kitchen in a crafting oven and use it to turn meat into baked meat for HP/mana.
-inventory icons and 3D models for all existing in-game items, so no Dwarf placeholders or black icons anymore
-A bank/vault npc, which would use the existing sack system.
-Fix all the annoying and long-standing alpha transparency issues in CS *and* the PS textures.
-Maybe dust off the /fly command, and enable if for Klyros only this time.
-Use Rolenun's internal crash handler fixes finally

All races modeled, with at least a few variable features.
A PVP system that can encompass roleplay and give meaning to guilds.
Some sort of "ability" system to create a less monotonous combat role from hit "attack" and cast a spell every so often.
As steel blue is ages away I dont think this is a harsh request.

I think people should have the chance to fire away their thoughts... but please nothing TOO fancy (like "i want prisons with NPCs running around fully automatically capturing and imprisoning people").

Given that I figure I can't go too wrong with my little list of "Simple but Vital" changes.

  • Alliance Chat - Multiple alliances need a box to select which alliance chat you wish to enter. This is my number 1, I consider it extremely vital
  • Ability for more than one person to hold the top rank in a guild for guilds that are headed by councils or the like (Used to be possible in Molecular Blue)
  • More complex guild heirarchy system, possibly sub-ranks, or flexibility to add branches to heirarchy tree (Sorry if this one is harder)
  • Auction House, or something similar
  • Ability to define alternate xml files in skins which would allow for more fun creating custom gui's
  • Groups for buddy list, or categories, whatever you want to call it.  Friends, or say Guild Name, however you want to categorize your buddy list. As it sits now it simply gets too long and unruly.
  • Ignore option for chat channels, so that ones you aren't worried about reading don't flash incessantly!
  • Calculate vertical AND horizontal distances in falling so that slipping down a hill doesn't result in death so easily
  • And finally I'd like the ability to bot characters with scripts.  This one is a bit different and probably harder but I'd love to create a character and script it with player created quests and the like, or to tell stories!  In my absence I'd like to leave Induane to tell his tales of loss to anyone who cares to ask.  Or something similar.  This is probably wishful thinking on my part :D but I had to say it!
