Hi, first of all let me say I'm loving the game so far, you guys did a great job with this.
I've been waiting for this game since it was announced all those years ago and it didn't dissappoint, although as with every game there are things that could be improved or changed, and this thread is all about bringing those things to light, I mean that's what a beta test is all about, right?
So let me start of with a few of my own suggestions.
- Abandon quest. - As with most people, I'm stuck on the 'My supplies' quest, and cannot move on with the game without completing the quest, so I think it would be really handy to add an abandon quest feature, meaning that you quit the quest, and to start it again you go back to the NPC that assigned it.
- Backpack labelling - Personally I like to store my items categorically, and to do that i've assigned different backpacks for different types of items, such as potions, components etc, and it would be nice if we could label out backpacks instead of opening all of them to find the items you're looking for.
- Double skill bar - This really bugged me, I've learned a lot of skills, and I found it really annoying that I had to click the button to go to the next skill bar to find the skill I need. If you don't know what I'm talking about here, check out the WoW skill bar.
- Shifting compass - I've seen a few people mention that they would like to see the compass position change based on the direction you're moving, and I totally agree.
- Page scrolling - Not really a suggestion, but I also found that every time I went to zoom in with my mouse scroll, it scrolled the whole web page along with it, although I'm not sure if that is just a browser or screen resolution thing.
- Accidental right clicking - Again, not really a suggestion, just an annowance, most of us that are used to playing MMO's tend to use the right click button to shift the camera, but I noticed that if I move my mouse too far it would go out of the boundaries of the game window and when released, it brings up the right click menu. I don't know what to suggest to change it, I just found it realy irritating.
That's all I have to add right now, although I'm sure I'll come up with more as I get further and further into the game.
Feel free to post your own thoughts on things you'd change, or things that just simply bug you.
I'm so excited about this game, and I know it's been a long time in the making so I just wanted to thank you guys for giving me the chance to take part in the beta test.
So to finish, congratulations HCS! All the hard work paid off, eh?
Suggestions made by others:
full screen feature.
Full screen feature
Working with such a small window on such a large screen hurts the eyes just a bit
Or just the option to make the working space bigger.
Map improvements
making it easier to see where you stand on the map, I literally spend 5 minutes finding out wher ei was standing at some point, maybe highlight key points such as quests.. maybe even having the option to place a custom marker
Stat recommendation
Maybe not essentiel to everyone, and personally i'm not sure how much use I would get of this,
But if you're a wizard you're obviously going to upgrade for more mana and sorcery, but how much in each can maybe be hard to determine at times.
