Only adding 3 helper attributes is like trying to put out a forest fire with a garden hose. It's a joke! I'd like to hear the reasoning behind why they can't add more. Are other HCS games that much resource hogs? Is FS, undeniably HCS' most successful game, being relegated like a Crystal Palace FC?

 

I suggested 3 features to focus the discussion on what people felt was the most important features. I'm not saying we're only going to implement 3 things

[Hoofmaster]

Here is how the feature line up by popularity is looking so far

 

 

By 'advanced feature' I mean that it should be something isn't on by default. Zorg had an idea to make a new 'advanced features' option you turn on in settings so new players aren't overwhelmed with features that tend to only be used by experienced players.

[BadPenny]

Looking good so far... Hope some of these get implemented.. I would ALMOST pay for the privilege.   

[bigchaos]

Since you put it the way you are looking at our voting then for new players 

 

1) Show Next Quest Steps

2)Color Special Creatures

3)Show Active Bounties

4)Show Incomplete/Not

Started Quests

 

These are just a few that help me when I was questing in my lower levels and what was mentioned before by others about bp space, gvg and pvp targets lighted up and combat help are good as well.

That makes sense. I hope that the possibility to implement most or all the features is high. They are highly useful to most players. The next question becomes will you then prohibit all user scripts?

OH VERY GOOD IDEA!!!!  nice job on both your parts...and the list is looking great!  Thank you very much for calculating the poll!

Impressive how you can make people really happier sometimes!  

[dragon4u]

1) Fast recall/wear/GS (Report page), wear/drink/extract on BP.
2) Show PvP targets on orange and GvG targets on blue.

3) Players Auctions.

[gomezkilla]

How will the quick drink/wear work on the profile screen with the new UI backpack? Will we have to control + click to highlight and then right click to have an option to 'Wear selected items' or 'drink selected potions'?

Note: this is assuming that this feature is added by HCS.

[Luminaire]

Hoof,

I ask you make all these optional so we are not forced with features of fsh we do not like. I personally really dislike the log coloring and chat coloring for unread messages. 

Thanks, Lumi

Personally I want all of FS helper, call me greedy!

Features...

1) I'd like to see the ability to give helper "points" through the sidebar and main chats.  If you ask a question and someone is helpful, you can give them a "point".  Accumulating of points should results in titles, maybe a color-coded name, reputation increase, perhaps quarterly rewards.

 

I liken this system to the rewarding of a choice parking spot to incent employees to specific activities.

 

Controls would need to be built in so players couldn't "game" the system.  Unique "points" would be important for a period of time to prevent friends from setting each other up to acquire "points" without truly helping each other. 

 

I'm very new to the game so I don't know what high level incentives exist, but I do know that getting answers to your questions via these two chat interfaces to be of very high import.

That was going to be implemented under "KARMA" - but fell off the back burner and disappeared up it's own orifice. Nothing to do with the FSH

i got hit today, needed 5% of a level to hit my target back,  i had planned on using all my stamina to level more, at the moment i have to tick every buff to unblock them, i cannot manage back pack in a manner that is even remotely convenient, there is no creature refresh when i repair items, i didnt even want to level long enough tio make 5% of a level.  at this time maybe i am far too spoiled by all the years of using helper. but at this time i can say with 100% certainty that for me in it's current state the game is not even really playable without it and even if i can muster through all the inconveniences of the game and even through it's most retarded aspects just to play it isnt even enjoyable. .

 

so it would be worth it in my opinion at this time to really think about the idea of only 3 top picks to maybe starting a new thread on the top 3 things in the helper we could do without. 

 

i will continue to look forward to some more updates, and will keep praying that the arena sabotage is the only "streamlining" that this game will see.

Amazing! 

That way would be quite easy to use it.

Hoof, as many of us have had the experience in this thread of "oh, yeah, I like that one too", could we just rank them all from 1 (most wanted) onward? A program like SurveyMonkey miht be able to allow players to do that easily and at no cost to you guys.

Not really arguing with the results, but MANY players don't want to mess with commenting in the forums, but given a simple straight-forward option to rank the FSH features might get more input and thus more satisfaction in the long run from the wider spectrum of players feeling engaged in the outcome, as well as more focused results.

Just a thought, Kath

P.S. I would hope 3 FSH features would be a beginning, and that there would be a schedule to roll out all that players would like to see. I realize you can't do it all with one fail swoop, unless you could just take FSH over, which would be just GRAND!

[sweetlou]

I'm holding strong that the dev team can utilize almost all of the features. The work that was done by the Helper group was innovative because it came from PLAYERS! That's one reason it's been such a success. It was like a labor of love and pride. My worries are twofold; we won't see anything new and fixes that are needed will be on cow time. I'd also like to know how personal scripts will be treated?

[Bleltch]

I'd like to know how personal scripts are being treated too. I feel left out because i dont know any of the coders, and dont know how to do it myself. I understand there are a number of players that basically have working versions of fshelper with additional features even, right now. Right now i have to jump through hoops just to buff myself.

[BadPenny]

I'm really hoping this gets somewhere, and not shoved to the back burner like so many other worthwhile projects have...
