Ideas for improvements

DonCarl30ne

Hey all!

Hope you're all enjoying the game as intended, i know i have :-)
But i have some idea's for maybe making the game a lot better.
1 thing is making it harder to block blows from behind, for example by making it that you have to look the way you want to block (just looking). Otherwise making an animation, a real cool one, for blocking from behind.
And the other thing is something small. Maybe we can blur out the edges of the loot messages, making it more like the rest of the UI.
Just wanted to put this out there, maybe starting a thread full of idea's for the game's developers.

Happy slashing!

Welcome to the forums @DonCarl30ne ! Interesting idea. Like, a 2 handed wilder would do that move where the wielder puts the sword behind their head down their back.

Check out my concept repository in my signature for a collection of my ideas.

Keep those ideas coming! Maybe at some point ZOS will be inspired!

DonCarl30ne

Thanks for the welcome Gidorick!

an YH, that's what I saw happening in my mind also with that 2H sword! :-)
Maybe that's also an idea for the bow wielders?
And maybe we can even make a skill that hurls your shield at someone (or something) :-p
Meh just blurting idea's.

Greetz!

A version of uppercut just with the shield instead

YH and make it bouncable to other enemies

One thing I'd like to be changed/added, is the ability to change the camera view.

I know that when in 3rd person view you can zoom out, but I'd like to have the option to have my character in the centre instead of to the left...unless im missing something in the options menu?
(If there is already this option and you let me know where, I will forever be in your debt )

DonCarl30ne

Really?
I find the OTS-camera action-wise pretty cool?
BTW, if u zoom out entirely you can still make your character center.
AND! There's an addon for that! called Combat Camera:

May be a little buggy...

Personally I would much prefer that blocking got a 180° arc use like backstab, and that using block would turn your character into the look direction for it like some attacks do...
But...
...a special animation for doing an "behind-me-block" sounds cool!

Duiwel

One Handed staves ( but obviously a lot less dmg)

Character slots

If you make a waypoint in a group it shows a glowing triangle on the UI ( by default this is toggled off )

All I can think of for now

Ooh I got another 1!
Beïng able to throw bombs and traps (or like throwing daggers :-p), by equipping them in your quickslots and using them like you would potions.
Keep 'em coming!

DonCarl30ne

Ooh and cars xD

DonCarl30ne

Dyes would be nice also.
Making it a part of the crafting system.
And getting experience for that in for example blacksmithing if you dye a piece of heavy armour.
I hope it's possible.

That would actually be pretty easy to do, all they would need is a different solvent for alchemy (something that produces a gloud of poison or incendiary gas when its released upon bottle smash?) and then code it so alchemical recipes made with that one will make potion bombs.... I dimly remember mentioning something like that back when we were talking about diseases, a while back? Quite possible.

Another idea would be "scrollcrafting" - making one-use scrolls from magical spells, so people can fire them off their quickslots too. Naturally involving a lot of scroll-rune learning to make those spellscrolls...

I would love to see it.

There are some addons for changed drop loot UI

DonCarl30ne

YH and i think scrolls would become the most stolen good in the game, like lighters in RL :-p

And I was thinking making the edges of the loot messages like this:



Happy slashing!

DonCarl30ne

Hah and maybe if you dye a piece of stolen armour correctly you can launder it at the same time, cuz the guards would think it is a completely different piece :-p
Kind of like repainting your car in GTA :-p

DonCarl30ne

or not...
