Since restarting the game a week or so ago these are some things I have been thinking about, I am sure some are already being worked on but I figured I would post this while this was fresh on my mind.
Account Bound items - This is preventing trade more than allowing it.
Multiple UI Choices - I feel there should be a option for different UI's (Bring original back as a option) or at the minimum a color change setting for one UI.
Channels - Ability to have multiple channels open at once have a personal chat start with Ch.# to organize it. Also allow players to add/remove custom channels for tells friends group chat. So in other words someone could have 1 chat window with everything organized inside it.
Windowed Fullscreen Support - This and better resolution support.
Weekly World Boss - Boss that spawns randomly on the map each week has a designated spawn point that changes weekly, each account can only loot the boss once.
Cosmetic Shop Items - Allow players to purchase furniture sets for interior design of houses and lawn design. Also interior Paint for walls and floor maybe?
Cosmetic Shop Pets - Pet you can buy that follows you around, possible make it a extra backpack?
Buff/Debuff Icon - Lets players see If Invul ran out, how many stacks of poison etc.
Feel free to add constructive feedback below on what you guys agree on or disagree on!
Players Suggestions on Post:
Ozmer: favorites spell bar - Pretty much different tabs of favorites for spells
Account Bound items - I like this idea, I think it actually encourages trading more because you can't use the same gear for all your chars.
Multiple UI Choices - There is a way to copy the files back and restore the old UI, I think the new client will be better suited for this when it comes out next year.
Channels - Same as above with the new client.
Windowed Fullscreen Support - This and better resolution support. - Same as above, limitation of the current client.
Weekly World Boss - Boss that spawns randomly on the map each week has a designated spawn point that changes weekly, each account can only loot the boss once. - I like this idea.
Cosmetic Shop Items - Allow players to purchase furniture sets for interior design of houses and lawn design. Also interior Paint for walls and floor maybe? - I believe this is being worked on, but not sure if it will be MTX, Copper or Den obtainable.
Cosmetic Shop Pets - Pet you can buy that follows you around, possible make it a extra backpack? - This has been discussed, but I think is low priority.
Buff/Debuff Icon - Lets players see If Invul ran out, how many stacks of poison etc. - They just got the CC visuals in, so I think this is something that could/would be done but would also most likely be lower priority.
I don't like "account bound" items unless they are bound to your website, where you can exchange them between characters.
Well, technically you can trade them between characters, just only characters on that account login, I believe. I don't think we should be catering to people who use multiple accounts, though, because not everyone does that. That being said, I don't mind either way if we have account bound items or not… just as a general rule, people who use multiple accounts should not be factored in to decision making.
I think the Bind logic is ok and the best items being bind makes sense to me.
What doesn't make sense to me is that literally every item beyond level 1 is Bind. There is zero "normal" item distribution after level 1. A few non-bind items (with lesser stats and higher level req as compared to similar Bind items) seems to make sense.
Ehh the bind to account crap is the only reason I don't play Realm anymore.
I just check in from time to time hoping that gets removed. As someone that has never sold a single item in my life the inability to trade items between my own accounts is a deal breaker for me. Absolutely ruins the game beyond in shadow of playability.
If that ever gets reverted count me in for 6 accounts though.
Yeah I am not a huge fan of the Bind to Account stuff, I like the ideas posted here about possibly making only some items Bind to Account not everything. As someone who does not multi-box I would enjoy selling my old items in Trade Chat.
One I would like to see added: Having more than one "favorites" spell bar. It would be nice to have separate bars where a wiz could organize all of their perm/chant spells, combat spells, and utility/misc. spells separately.
bind to account does serve a purpose in keeping the economy active. sooner or later, with so few people, everyone will have what they need, and free trade might hurt the value or impact the game when allowing hand me downs, basically ensuring that there will always be an abundance of stuff to be given to others. bind on account does at least make sure that many items are basically lost on use, so they will always need to be found and sold again to new characters or players.
Thats a great idea Ozmer and i also understand your point Madae
I don't trade items, and instead hang onto stuff because of the binding. If I am trading, it's because I have a ton of spares or want the money at the time. I also don't use a lot of the items I have, even though they'd be upgrades because I don't need them to clear HC/Anvil/DP so there's no point in equiping them.
