***more events/daily events: an incentive to log in each day, just to see what it was, even if it was trivial, i.e.

 

news update! great vigor level 500 is cast on anyone logging in in the next 24 hours!

news update! for the next 24 hours the guild structure "inventors laboratory" has doubled in level!

news update! for the next 24 hours anyone logging in gets 1 free non-bounty-able hit!

I would like to be able to recall things from the guild store and be able to directly wear them without hunting them down in the ever increrasing back pack.  There is a problem when you recall and go to quick wear they do not show up without refreshing not sure why.

i would love to see a better user interface throughout all the aspects of Fallen Sword.. updated log system to have better organization and more volume of stat/log gathering based on personal desires(message/transactions/PvP/titan hunting/etc) , more efficient guild store/advisor, more top rating ladders for ALL aspects POSSIBLE within Fallen Sword, more medals (drop the personal achievement idea, just toss us more medals) ...  efficient mobile layout so EVERY game aspect can be played on the phone with out too much hassle -  think that will promote daily activity if buffing, arena, PvP, hunting, etc were made possible smoothly.. the buffing system NEEDS buff packages implemented already!! 

 

i love the idea of random, minimum events.. not really game impacting but still promotes activity and log in

 

i know Fallen Sword will eventually be how i imagine it could be but coding takes time and dedication so i will keep being patient

[DarthViper]

My opinion on each:

 

Multis: This has been a major problem for years. Please, this is the most pressing thing as is being ignored, still. Highest priority IMO

 

Timely content: Not a high level player, would have to ask them how pressing the issue it

 

Improving servers: Less of an issue than it used to be, but could still use some work

 

USFG: The guide seems to work fine for me, but other player may have different experiences

 

More Mercs: Never seen it as a major issue

 

Daily events: I could go without this, also could make the multi issue worse

 

Birthday gift: See 'Daily events' above

 

FSH: Would be great. Saves player plenty of time, many have become dependant on it. Second highest priority IMO

 

Downgrading structure: Nice idea, and should be the simplest to implement out of the above.

[watagashi]

These choices are severely limited but making one in the list I picked multis

Functionality would be choice #2

 

BUT only because these were not added

 

Finish half released things such as karma, SE rotation, composing, the new gvg type game that was talked about as replacement for gvg and when voted down was thought as something to add instead, THE EPIC QUEST, and other stuff

 

refreshing items such as rotating arena prizes again, new RP items new pvp token items

 

update the "specials" section of AH with newer or updated level pots which would also update bazaar too,, most times the top half are just not being bought as they have better options easially available, some examples,,

asst 150, if someone has the buff its already 150,,maybe up to 200?

dub 100,, while I often find it useful to finish up the last hundred stam its seldom used otherwise

shatter armor 150,, again players who got that buff start at 150 already most times,, perhaps up  to 175?

LD 100, either they find a player with a better level or go without I dont know anyone who ever bought this one.

conserve 100,, again getting it from players

Lib 50,, what good will 50 do??

FI75?

AL125 as with the 2 above theres just too many places to find mutiple other options at higher levels.

I think a few could be cut from specials altogether and take that space to add some that would be more useful especially to those who may not know a bunch of people to get these buffs from already

 

A couple choices I was against and why,,,

 

timely content,,, NEVER put aside quality for releases! This only creates bugs, crashes and stuff like the easter island where nobody noticed everyone could hit a 1k monster for a weekend

 

server performance,, been working great for me at least for quite some time now

 

more helpful UFSG,,,see wikki

 

better system to hire mercs,,, I dont see anyone hiring them now anyway, always a list of 20+ there to me remove the worthless ones (50 and under)

 

more events ok daily events no way ( I would especially note the one "one free non bountyable hit",, sounds like a lot of fun to me but know it will cause unending grief in game)

 

birthday gift,,, its called annual medal

 

FSH coded into game,, nice but pick your poison cuz they only have so many cows so you wnat content and new stuff in the next 6 months or something already available put in?

 

downgrade without destruct,,no, destruct and build to level you want or dont build so high

[duktayp]

I love free stuff

 

in recent memory we were given 

 

 

- an option to purchase a reasonably priced starter pack of cool stuff

 

- extra back pack space(s?)

 

- a redemption code worth 700++ fsp of upgrades

 

 

but

 

free stuff only buys loyalty/activity on the short-term (buy me a beer and i'm your friend for as long as it takes to drink that beer), an example being the recent redemption code + double xp event that had online players over 1k...something i haven't seen in years. I don't know the math in how those increased overall daily online activity (if at all) since then...doesn't look like much

 

these suggestions - while some could arguably be described as "more free stuff" - have to do more with improvement/enjoyment (in my opinion) of the product itself to increase loyalty/activity, rather than the "give me free stuff to increase my loyalty" business model

 

 

more helpful UFSG,,,see wikki

 

 

with exceptions to some categories of information, helpfulness of wiki effectively ends (please correct me here...wiki says some pages are limited to the "user group"?) around level 1000

[Pardoux]

with exceptions to some categories of information, helpfulness of wiki effectively ends (please correct me here...wiki says some pages are limited to the "user group"?) around level 1000

 

I use the wiki for a few things that the UFSG doesn't offer, but yes, the wiki effectiveness definately dies off at the higher levels.

[watagashi]

use a proxy to get on wiki and they dont see your level as they do when using the direct link from game

 

The statement I made about better UFSG= see wiki was more to say that like putting FSH into the game it may be fun and helpful but its gonna take coder time away from other stuff. As wiki is player submitted (also like FSH) the players can add it and not take coder time. 

 

Maybe more players need to help on these places since no matter what they got a big head start on the FS counterparts. (even Grim admits he used Mowglik's maps ,,found as a link on the wiki page,, as reference when updating the starting areas)

[shindrak]

Fix / Improve what we have already

[watagashi]

I wish the option "finish stuff they started" was one of the choices. Of all the stuff I mentioned earlier the unfinished really need work. 

 

<Disclaimer> this may sound like vetching but we all should keep in mind there are only so many cows and they only have 2,,,hooves and therefore can only do so much at once. Some of these things were just put on back burner because more important stuff came up, other stuff hit a wall and got stopped untill time could be set aside to sort out the extra details (karma for example) and all the while we are always asking for umteenth other things,,,im posting this as my choice of what would make FS better for me but also a hope that maybe some of these things they wanted to get to and a reminder was what they needed to get thinking about it again 

 

 

First off The 2nd epic quest is still mocking me on my quest book's not completed list and is the only one on it, I cant complete it till the rest of the steps are added, its also 2 of what was announced to eventually be 8 quests but it hasnt seen any additions since.

 

The 0 on my bio next to karma,, same thing

 

Composing,,, we are actually teasing each other that yall have broken down a bunch of stuff and the pots will be left unfinished 

 

SEs, the many reasons the rotations were set up for GC and CS work even better now over a year later for Malph, steep, Baron, etc. The plan was when you put out empusa and NB was all would eventually be rotated but instead the first 2 got put in caves and other SEs were released in realms (not that im complaining they could just add more SEs and id be happy)

 

GVG, the "chess game" thingy that was suggested as replacement for GvG but decided it was not a great idea to replace but it was said that it could be added, sounds great to me to have more options in the GvG system perhaps ones that involve the entire guild or like the "chess game" something all can get together in helping with defense.

Its also been forever since new RP items.

AND it was really noticed in last global quest,, RP packs could really use a update, change the level of some of the older ones as well as consider new ones (a new battle pack with SH coord atk and def for 50 RP??)

 

PVP ladder,,, new rewards? We debated it up and down and the general consensus was bound pots and unbound gear,,, but hasnt came out.

 

PVP arena,, rotations of gear are a bit overdue and a new set of recipes, gear and stuff would not hurt either,, but the old stuff really needs to make an appearance again!!

 

The maps, lots about changing and updating new areas then suddenly no news about it for a while. Im sure theres a point in the map where you were happy with how it had been done the first time and not really needed to go all the way to EoC but news about it would be nice.

 

Reaching far back into the "to do" drawer but been a while since a non holiday titan was created.

 

And finally with composing making the items inside actually worth something maybe time to rotate a new set of chests?\

 

 

Either way thanks for the time and maybe a reminder of stuff you want to get back to

[jr1093]

this would increase my enjoyment/loyalty of FS

1. Voted a better system to hire mercs (for the guild) - how many times can you search, scroll down and decline in an hour. i lost track

2. more helpful info in the USFG - links are your friend

3. FSH functionality incorporated into game code

4. ability to downgrade a guild structure by level (without demolishing it first)

5. cracking down on multis

[Booger]

Enjoyment - HCS have done reasonably well considering it's a browser based game without any fancy plugins etc. More social interaction between players in other guilds could be good.. like a tavern where there are mini-games and chat or something like that.. this could be good for people in smaller guilds or for people where a lot of the other members in the guild are in different timezones.

 

Loyalty - Better treatment from HCS Support. I've never come across anything quite like it and I doubt I ever will again.

[yodamus]

i voted for daily events...when i started playing 3 years ago...everyday there was news, more than once about something happening in the game...now new news usually takes days..i cant remember last legendary events for realms..one thing mentioned that is not on the list and what i consider top of the list- implementing things more quickly into the game- composing is taking forever (seems like we have been teased), karma ?, new arena items, new chests, new se's..seems like progress is slow...i guess more cows needed..composing buzz has been lost..boo hoo...i was really enjoying the idea of composing yet months later, still nothing but a bunch of fragments

Wasnt going to say anything about that but I think it needs pointed out,,, customer service has declined recently! There once was a time tickets were replyed in one day and now I got one for what we think is a bug going on 3 days now. Its WELL noticed several cows that did most of the tickets are gone now for some reason and lately it seems like especially here if its not completely sychophantic it gets warned or locked out. This is usually because its not helpful but many times recently its just because people didnt agree with the poster that for some reason has been decided was right. Finally theres always been a bit of a problem with how things were handled at times (my best example is one mod banning a player for advertising buffs for karma when karma wasnt out, no rule against it in ToS and even a post by Hoof asked directly if it was ok ((he replyed "karma isnt even out yet")) you get a lot of things handled one way and a totally different way the next time. To me,,, it seems like those handling these things no longer care about the game or the customers. Finally a couple changes have been asked for and basically shruged off at and even name calling to players so ill ask one last time,,,,

When you gave RP rewards why do we now get called names like farmer for going after things you put in?? And why is every change asked for to make this something people play again simply shruged off as greedy farmers wanting something for them? Isnt that what 99% of these suggestions are from?? Players who participate in those areas who know how they work and see where work is needed???

 

<edit> cant share here but rest assured the absolute worst ticket I have ever seen and not only was the issue totally ignored but we were all basically called a farmer for doing something you added to a part of the game we did already! (Ticket FS-004916,, been waiting to share this with you so hope you see it now Hoof)

 

Rant over but ill finish by saying that customer service in FS was once excellent it was once something that put FS above the others and I only hope this brings to light to Hoof that its not working as well anymore and this can bring about changes to bring it back again

 

Ill also add a update to my reply on this post,,, my #1 thing that would impress me in FS? Finish the half done stuff like karma, epic quest and COMPOSING!!!

I have to agree about the finishing what you've started. since I've came back to the game I've noticed alot of half finished ideas. All of them seem great and I hope to be around when they are finished...but what good is breaking down items if we can't use the shards?  almost 1,000,000 items destroyed so far...how quickly do you think these potions will be obsolete because EVERYBODY will have a huge stock pile of shards?

 

As for lack of customer service...I STRONGLY disagree....since I've returned I've had nothing but great(i dont wanna say luck...but for lack of a better word) luck with my tickets being responded to prompt,courteous and VERY helpful.

 

so I too wish to vote for "unfinished projects being finished" (as I too look forward to the addition of more EPIC quests and finshing the one incompletable quest)

Not everyone involved in GvG gets called farmers - and, for that matter, what , exactly, is so derogatory about being a farmer anyways ? - without farmers in the real world, no-one would eat LOL.

GvG is currently divided into two camps ...

 

1. Those that attack much weaker guilds for easy RP - they are the "farmers"

 

2. Those that attack similarly minded guilds for the challenge - they aren't farmers.

 

 

Rant over but ill finish by saying that customer service in FS was once excellent it was once something that put FS above the others and I only hope this brings to light to Hoof that its not working as well anymore and this can bring about changes to bring it back again

 

Couldn't disagree more ... Support now is better than it's ever been. Are there still gaps, ones that fall through the cracks, yes of course (I have one still awaiting a none-programmer response for well over a week now) but overall, the standard and speed of response is MUCH improved since a certain ex-hoof departed to pastures (or should that be paddocks? LOL) new.

[watagashi]

For lack of a better word perhaps it is just that im getting bad luck lately. It was just something I noticed a lot in the last couple months and thought to share my view on it in the hope it can help improve this.
