My personal wishlist

[system]

Just listing my personal wishes for PE as a game. Perhaps something for MA to look at before they release a cmmerical?

• Faster skilling during crafting (apparently coming up).

• The ability to tame animals.

• Vehicles.

• Ability to use personal messages at auction.

• Better revenue. Come on. We all saw the figures of what MA makes. They ought to do fine if we’d get a better turnover. Plus that would make new people stay ingame longer, and deposit more. One word for MA: Interest.

• The ability to rent out items. I’d love to try out some weapons/armour, or lend them out to others, but one never knows if the other person truly will stick to their word.

• Overhaul of the Mentor-system. The system is screwed up right now. People sign up 50 disciples, and never talk to them again. They WILL get nice items though. No effort? No freebie.

• Balancing the game. The ubers are just too heavily favoured. They got skills cheap, AND good items that are worth WAY too much now. If MA wants this game to make it big, they’ll ensure that items like Mod FAP etc are nuked. They present way too much of an advantage to the odd few who can afford them, or have had them since going gold. If it’s a matter of players that determines the drop rate, I say we actively create new avis until at least 25% of the population has a mod fap, and the price is brought down to something normal.

• Personalising crafted items. Crafting stinks. Not just cause of the (lack of) skillgain, but most you craft at low level crafting is just TT-food. What one ends up creating at least ought to be useful. (But I guess this is asking too much, judging from the quest items :rolleyes:) Make us able to add something to an item so we could make it juicy.

• Event system. Players have excellent ideas for events. Give them the ability to exploit their creativity and make a few bucks by turning something really normal into something special (See Fight Club thread, special shop threads, or the Theme Park).

• In-game MP3-player.

• Better support. What happened to Rain Man should have been investigated. Support was disgusting. Discourage scammers. WE can’t. A 40m USD company can.

• Personally, I’d love to see politics in-game. PE needs to have an in-game government speaking for the players. No, this will not end up in: “Uber-loots every time we kill”.

• Auto-loot.

• Expanded uses for the FriendsList. More people. Off-line messaging. Statuses.

• Help the community develop. Ensure the game is not solely based on money. Every event was about personal gain. Why not an event that makes the community bond? Give us a clear signal that we’re in this together. We ought to be standing shoulder by shoulder in events. Not just doing it because we can, and because we might be the lucky SOB who loots something worth a monthly paycheck, but no in-game use whatsoever.

• Uses for components. I’ll wait till the next VU before elaborating, though.

• Get rid of Bridge. It’s a company based on greed. We’re passionate players. None of us ever spent this much of our hard-earned money on a game ever before. We enjoy the game. We can live with making slight losses. We can, however, not live with getting a 50% revenue because some rich numbnut thinks he ought to get richer.

Before implementing or even looking at any suggestion above, though, get the bugs fixed - I took the week off, and already am getting terribly annoyed with a few things:

At times MOBs run right through me. This most likely will be due to lag, but is irritating as hell. I will be swinging my axe at thin air.

I lost an item more than once this week. When I relog it’ll be back, though. In itself innocent enough, but not when this concerns a FAP-50 that would have saved my ass had it worked.

The auction is still fucked. GSIs show up as other chips, with weird descriptions. All clothes are uncolored.

I’ve still had fake shots/fapping happen. My gun will shoot, my fap will move, but nothing happens. While I don’t have 10k Aim, I do believe I’m at a skill level where I ought to do at least 1 dam.

I still at times get attacked by a non-radar, non-visible mob that does me 1 damage. While I can live with that, either I ought to get secondary skills, or it shouldn’t happen at all.

For the sake of discussion, I’ll add to this thread whenever I think/find more issues MA, consider this what will determine whether my raise will flow back to you as well.

[system]

• Make the auction percentage-based. At this moment, noobies offering standard stuff like hides/wool etc are being disadvantaged. They have to cough up a buck to get their stuff out there, while some ubbah offering a Mod Fap pays the same thing for an item with a market value of ~80k.

• Admission fees to places. Makes it so we can “rent” a place. I’d LOVE to hold a comedy night in a bar, doing stand-up. People would pay an admittance fee, and could stay there. Same thing for mini-events.

By the way. Feel free to add/discuss my sugesstions. The more, the merrier, and the more-read/replied to, the more MA is bound to notice. I will be the first one to admit most of these ideas are NOT my own. I’m just adding a bunch of them together in one spot.

Dang more likely people will pay so you stop talking

Nice ideas

I still say…

In game internet browser!
So I don’t get disconnected while reading forums

[system]

• Get rid of Genetics chips. Anally treat people using them to scam with red hot pokers.

• Give us an option to save our quickbars, or make them auto-save every 5 minutes.

• Clicking the “ignore” button when someone tries to trade/pm/etc you should really mean you ignore that person from that moment on.

• Stamina should be good for something.

Good list Viagrafalls ! I totally back that up :wise:

Sorry about that

Otherwise great list ! I’d like to add some kind of macro recording system and the ability to play that recording from the quickbar.

Like… putting on / off your armor would make a nice macro

[/QUOTE]

Not agree with you in that. Why faster skilling? So ppl can get 10k in all skills in a few months of playing? What is next goal then? Where is competition?
PE is ment to dure for decades. Not for a short time like other online-games.
I think we need to see more areas in crafting and add more content for ppl who can’t spend much time/money into crafting too.

[QUOTE=ViagraFalls]

• The ability to tame animals.

[/QUOTE]

Agree.

[QUOTE=ViagraFalls]

• Vehicles.

[/QUOTE]

Agree.

[QUOTE=ViagraFalls]

[/QUOTE]

Not sure what you mean by that.

[QUOTE=ViagraFalls]

[/QUOTE]

MA needs money for their developments. PE is not a charity, it is something ppl have to pay for. Some players pay more then others, depend of actions ingame.

[QUOTE=ViagraFalls]

• The ability to rent out items. I’d love to try out some weapons/armour, or lend them out to others, but one never knows if the other person truly will stick to their word.

[/QUOTE]

Agree that we need a renting-system.

[QUOTE=ViagraFalls]

• Overhaul of the Mentor-system. The system is screwed up right now. People sign up 50 disciples, and never talk to them again. They WILL get nice items though. No effort? No freebie.

[/QUOTE]

Not all gifts are mentor gifts. Anyway, I am agree that they have to see some on the mentor-system. Maybe ppl need to have at least “great” in any pro-standing to be mentor, would be a sollution to the problem?
Also requirement to have diciple on FL?

[QUOTE=ViagraFalls]

[/QUOTE]

This is completly BS. Modified items is something that is ment for only a small % of the participants. If someone didn’t want to join PE before now, then sorry for them. It needs to be some advantages for pioneers that helped to build up PE. If ppl didn’t have a faith in PE for 2-3 years ago, maybe PE would not exsist today.
I agree that we need to fill the gap between f.ex FAP-110 and Adj FAP, but that is another question. Maybe crafting update next VU will do something with that? Ubers haven’t really got skills that cheap. Ppl who have been playing game for 3-4 years also have spent a lot of time working really hard for their items.

[/QUOTE]

It will allways be TT-food when it is easy to make. It is not MA that pays the TT++, it is other participants.

[QUOTE=ViagraFalls]

[/QUOTE]

This is a good idea.

[QUOTE=ViagraFalls]

• In-game MP3-player.

[/QUOTE]

This is good if it can be done without breaking any copyright laws.

[QUOTE=ViagraFalls]

• Better support. What happened to Rain Man should have been investigated. Support was disgusting. Discourage scammers. WE can’t. A 40m USD company can.

[/QUOTE]

I feel that support do a good job. Of course, MA could have anounced more warnings about scamming and let ppl protect their client PC’s more, but I really think support is better now then they was for around 1 year ago.

[QUOTE=ViagraFalls]

• Personally, I’d love to see politics in-game. PE needs to have an in-game government speaking for the players. No, this will not end up in: “Uber-loots every time we kill”.

[/QUOTE]

Politics can be good, but I guess we will form it with society funcions in the future.

[QUOTE=ViagraFalls]

• Auto-loot.

[/QUOTE]

I guess you mean hunting. I am not agree with you on this one. It should be challenging to loot a mob after you kill it. If ppl can’t manage to loot the mob, then they shouldn’t try to kill it neither.
For general, I would more see an autostack function, where all your loot will autostack in loot-window. Also it could be optional to show your loot-window or not. If no loot-window open, you should get a message in chat-window with loot.

[QUOTE=ViagraFalls]

Agree.

[QUOTE=ViagraFalls]

[/QUOTE]

Agree, still there are some use for components. Sure it will be more components and more use next VU, hopefully.

[/QUOTE]

Bridge is interesting. I don’t agree with you on this one. About 50% revenue, I am sure it is because of wrong gameplay.

[/QUOTE]

I agree that they have to concentrate about bug-fix. However, they have done this last year and game has much less bugs now then before. If someone remember sliding mobs, crafting hang/freeze, revival stuck, flying mobs, CTD’s, invetory disepear, etc. (also maintanence tuesdays and downtimes )

[Michyblueyes]

I posted a thread about grouping hot keys before saying that we should be able to group items like armor / weapon ect together and give them a hot key so we can easly equipe the correct armro especily usefull in pvp

[system]

With the personal messages, I was hinting at being able to market your goods. Rather than just tossing something in auction, allow people to make up their own personal salestext. Kinda like E-bay.

New stuff I came up with:

• Lootable ammo.
• Being able to repair stuff in the field.
• Better use for coloring. Not only by fixing the auction, but make coloring actually improve something. Up the TT of clothes when they’re colored, kinda.

Auction message could be interesting. Anyway, we should be aware of the scam about information in those cases.

• Lootable ammo, it was for some years ago. I don’t think that is the way to go. Better loot raw materials that can be used in ammo processing.
• Beeing able to repair stuff should be nice, but it would require skills. :silly2:
• About coloring, I really don’t see why TT-value should be raised to clothes. Colored clothes should get their TT++ from the market.
  About Coloring, I hope we can use it on more then clothes and boxes. Hopefully everything can be colored in the future.

/Kjetil

[system]

Hmm. How many orange shirts is there a market for?

Even with filters you get something back.Coloring just makes stuff dissappear, really

[/QUOTE]

yes, custom auction messages indeed should be allowed.
ammo should be build possibly in next VU…
and if repair skills needed, why not do this: the higher the skills, the better the item is repaired max. or at lower cost (better repair is: f.ex. with 0 skills only able to repair for 50%, at 7k skills 95% )
color + clothes should be higher tt, b/c what is there in skilling coloring if you cant get even a little back on the cost you paid for the paint…
ofcourse only added when succesful ,=)

[/QUOTE]

There is not more market then ppl pay for it. This will be valid for every area.
Maybe ppl should be sent to calypso with grey shirts now?
About adding TT-value from paint to clothes, I think could be done. Anyway it is some about balancing, since decay on coloring tool is very little.

About crafting basic filters, you get filters and residue back.
Maybe you should recive some kind of residue from coloring too instead of raise TT-value of clothes?
I also think there would be a technically problem to raise TT-value of something that allready have its max TT-value as an example.

The important here is that from TT++, you get TT-value from Mindark and ++value from other players that are willing to pay more then TT-value.

[/QUOTE]

Repairing today is the same as transfering PED’s from PED-card into item to raise its TT-value.
If a “repairer” (crafter) will do the same, he need some resources, then it will also include decay in it’s action if it raise skills, so I am sure MA will love it.

What I think about repairing is that you can repair it with some % and also possible to fail. If each attemt will give the average player 100% return-rate and each attempt cost TT-value of 1 ped, it could be implemented.
Ppl with low skills could get average 95% return and ppl with higher skills could get average of f.ex 105% return. Also there would be a possibility to pay for a repairing-service. Also you could “globaled” with geting a full repaired item in 1 attempt.

[Snipe]

Alot of the ideas you mentioned have been posted before.

For the mentoring system. MA said that they are going to make it possible for a deciple to kick a bad mentor later on in his/her training.

[P-J]

Some really cool ideas in this thread.

My penny’s worth…

How about adding something about making MF cheaper and more effective (lots of threads on that one) & a way of helping noobs play for longer before having to deposit - so they got a stake in the game which will keep them in rather than loosing 80% of noobs before they can buy all the low value stuff we craft/ loot

[system]

OOQ! OOH!

The ability to Copy/Paste from Windows. Being a priest, my sermon will be ready long before the actual happening. I just have to type it over. Give us the ability to cope/paste, pleasepleaseplease. Would also make my comedy night tons easier

[system]

Ooh… Know what I hate? I reorganise my inventory or storage. I order items. Only to later find out it decided that that small object looked better over there, and in the process fucking up all my work, pretty much… GRRRRRRR!
