Having played, and it must be said very much enjoyed, Eldevin for a short while now - I wanted to offer my thoughts on what I feel would greatly enhance the game from my standpoint.

 

There are already some great suggestions on the board I would hope to see implemented in the future such as Guilds/Housing/Auction House, but there are some minor 'fixes' that would, I feel, improve playability based on my own personal bugbears:

 

 

1- Keybinds/WASD movement. I realize that most threads on this board mention these but I want to throw my weight behind these options too based on their importance. These have to be number 1.

 

2- General view enhancement (ie Slightly further zoom option and camera position adjustment option). I often find myself desperately using my mouse scroll-back so the game doesn't feel so much like a first-person!

 

3- Map zoom enhancement. Currently when opening the World Map there are 2 POV's, often either too far out or right up my arse! Somewhere in-between would be nice.

 

4- Ctrl-Click stacking applied to Bank Stash/Vault. Currently this option works when trading between players and when selling items to NPC's, it really should work when transferring items to/from your bank also.

 

5- 'Craft -All' option. Self-explanatory.

 

6 - Quest items. From time to time I find my inventory full of them when advancing multiple quest at the same time. To then identify which quest item corresponds to which quest by simply going through the quest journal can be hugely pain-staking. 

If some text could be added to the items with the corresponding quest title, that would be helpful for sure.

 

7- Quest items tab. Suggestion from Sarvix which, I agree, would be neat.

 

8 - Auto-Lock Target. As a Ranger main, I often have to kite my targets. Very often when doing this I will naturally click on another item/NPC/enemy, then having to re-target the engaged enemy that is most likely hitting me at this point. An auto-lock engaged target option would fix this. 

 

Edit: This factor has become more and more apparent, particularly in instances when I find myself mistakenly clicking on party members. A 'fix' to this, for me, would be high priority.

 

 

 

Very happy to hear that a downloadable client is in the works as that would be on the list also.

 

I have bolded the suggestions which I would consider highest priority.

 

 

Overall I've been enjoying the game a lot and will support moving forward, props to the Devs - keep it up.

 

Thanks for response so far Mojawk.

I think they are working on most if not all of your suggestions + AH and guilds in the future :>

 

But I agree the things you mention would be nice to see ingame soonish.

I think we are working on a bunch of these, (1,2, 4 and 5) but 3 is something I've not seen before and seems like it would be a great idea! Thanks for the suggestions.

i dont see how wasd movement would fit anyhow into the game right now ... atm i can move my camera with it while running around with my mouse ... if this gets canceled and i have to turn the camera by rightclicking the screen like you can do it now also ... i will leave the game for sure (or at least the combat in this game) - because i cant play this way.

 

I need a way to move my camera and also be able to click while doing so

In every game that I have ever played with WASD movement, camera adjustment with the mouse is still possible. I don't understand what you are trying to say...

You can easily fix this by giving the option how you would like to use your WASD keys or change the keybindings.

A browser-based game aiming to compete within the MMO scene. WASD keys are a big plus and would even be innovative in this case, also requested a lot by the general community. If it gets implemented well then the potential of Eldevin simply becomes even bigger since it will reach and please a much bigger audience.

My apologies for hi-jacking your topic for a brief moment, but it would be nice if you guys could implement an extra tab for quest items only :)

I honestly thought this myself, good suggestion. I'll update main post with added suggestions.

 

Edit: Just had a hilarious moment that makes this suggestion more pertinent:

 

'Show no Mercy' Quest. Stages 15/16, examine the treehouse. 

 

I get to the basement to find the Plague Source which the quest requires me to destroy. I start to attack it with my crossbow, then my character decalres 'This is hopeless, I need my Blade of Mercy to do anything to this!'

 

Now I deleted my Blade of Mercy because of lack of bag space, so I make my way to Major Rothar to get a new one (different zone).

 

Now I'm back at the Plague Source with my Sword of Mercy ready to destroy the pesky Plague Source and be a hero again. But wait, the blade is doing no damage and my character now declares: 'This is getting me nowhere! I should return to Major Rothar and let him know what's happened'!

 

 

 

:huh:

 

 

 

Pro trolling HCS!

Hey Industrial, I think the point is people should be offered the choice. Those that are used to WASD, and let's face it most PC games use these controls, either need to learn to adapt or will refuse to do so and simply quit.

 

I too am like you, I can play as-is, but WASD would undoubtedly be preferable (to go hand-in-hand with keybind options of course  :P )
