Don’t even know if this is the correct place to post it, as i don’t seem to be able to find the suggestions section of this “forum”.
Anyway, just wanted to post some of the suggestions i’ve been having for the past few months in my mind on things that could potentially improve some areas of the game. Will probably add more as we go since i forget half of it as i type.
Oil Rigs
Orthos Oil Rig.
Increase the drops, but reduce the size of the drop. Spread the drops around a bigger area, making people kill more mobs around and actually work for their Oil. Each Oil drop pickup instills a debuff, -30% Running Speed and +15% Increased Damage Received, lasts for 20-30 seconds. Make people know who picked oil making them an easy target, hopefully motivating more PvP action.
Ashi Oil Rig
All of the above aforementioned for the Orthos one, but make it lootable as well. Last man standing gets all the Oil.
Tribute Island/Park
A new Area/Island to pay Homage to Legendary Avatars of EU. Every once in awhile, erect a new statue of an EU Legend, with a little description of their main accomplishments. To motivate people to visit said island, create Estates and Shops around. Also maybe add a Daily Mission or 2 for a buff. Like bring X and Y resources to receive Z non tradeable pill for some basic XP increase bonus + Regen Bonus + Speed Bonus.
Start with Island Girl and Neverdie, along the way hold an ingame vote through the voting system and let people choose from a selection of Legends which they would like to see have their statue built next.
This game is all about Community and it’s time to immortalise some of the Great people that have contributed so much and kept the game alive for 2 Decades.
Some love for the crafters
I love the fact that you can see who discovered what first. A lot of people are pioneers and spend a lot of time and resources to be the first ones to reach a milestone, they definetely deserve to be immortalised in the item description.
But we can add the crafter’s name as well. Finished products only, like Weapons, Armors, Tools etc. Crafted by : xxx xxx xxx
It may motivate some people to try and flood items with their “insignia”, some others to try and craft everything by themselves. In any case it is a small recognition towards crafters.
Profession Standings
A ranking of the first 1000 per profession, or more. It would definitely motivate and give an extra goal to many people to push forwards. People love Skills and Skilling, again some more recognition would be nice.
Give people the ability to mask themselves as Anon. Their standing would be there, but you can’t see who it is if they decide to not publish their name.
Cozyness Levels for Apartments
Introduce a new concept, the Cozyness Level. Either a constant buff or a “log out here get said buff for a couple of hours once a day” thing.
You achieve Cozyness Levels through decorating your Apartment with items and furniture. Not all of them should add points to it, but some should.
Let’s say a chair adds 5 points, a cooking stations adds 5 more per level. Once you reach 100 you achieve level 1 Cozyness. Then 100 more for level 2. Make it 3 levels each with their own increased buff. Add minimal decay maybe eventually as well. Like a PEC every week or so.
The free PA aparment should be limited to level 1 Cozyness.
Basic fee for Shops/Estates
Since there seem to be some people that hoard these and do nothing with them, maybe introduce a very small fee for each deed you own. Like 1 or 2 PEDs per month or something. It’s not gonna be something crazy but may slightly discourage some and give MA some extra revenue.
Remix the old soundtrack
Most people love the old PE soundtrack. Remix it, or even just add the original. Or both. Maybe even keep the current one and give people the option to select which one to listen to.
Citizenship
Each planet should have a specific bonus of Citizenship. A mission for each planet to achieve it, that gives a constant buff. You can’t change Citizenship for a month or more. And every time you have to repeat an easier version of the first mission to achieve it.
Real Reputation Levels
Add a way to give reputation and substract reputation. Give players a way to “punish” bots and scammers, and honor decent players. Give an aura or some type of way of seeing ones reputation when you see their Avatar, and the exact values when you scan them.
Poor Man’s Stew
Either add a very low food recipe with the F2P ingredients, like Baitfish and Vibrant Sweat, or an NPC to turn in these said ingredients for a very basic buff. Example 5% Skill gain bonus, 10% Regen bonus, 5% Speed bonus for 1 or 2 hours. If it’s an NPC make it a daily, if it’s a recipe give it a tiny chance of skill increases to not be abused by bots.
Would love to see some if not all implemented in some way or form.
