I'm sure some of these have been suggested before, but these are my wish-to-haves in no particular order

Audible warning when you fall below a certain HP%
- Could be a simple one time warning when you pass through the threshold
- Continuous warning ala Zelda style until health gets above a certain level

Visual flash wehn you fall below a certain HP%
- Have the edge of the screen or some type of visual warning that you are low on hp

Nametags for enemies
- I'm colorblind and can't always tell what variety of creature a particular mob is so a toggled nametag would be nice
- Have a keybinding like Alt that allows you to see names above all items/mobs - Kind of a reveal loot

HP Bars for enemies
- This maybe a game design choice, but if not being able to see an hp bar on mobs would be nice
- Should be toggleable since it might get cluttered at at times

Summary screen at the end of each level
- Similar to when you return to town maybe have a small summary of crowns/items gained
- Eventually maybe have it list kill counts
- Have it take screenshots during the level to create a "best moments" recap of the level - deaths, kills, treasure finds...ect
- List biggest hits done, biggest hits taken, random stats about the level

Improve chat commands
- Have the chat automatically select the previously used channel as the default until a new /command is used use another channel
- Allow for multple chat tabs that you can filter the chat to different windows

Auction House
- Filter/Search based on UV - This would allow UV related markets to be much more organized
- Ability to post multiple auctions based on the a # of items/stack and how many stacks with a price per stack
- Display a price per item when searching for items
- Get rid of auction timer resetting on each bid to eliminate auction bid winning being about who can camp longer instead of who is willing to pay more
- If not get rid of the timer put in an increasing minimum bid required to force people to bid in reasonable increments

Mailbox
- Allow an option to clear all mail from the auction house without having to click each message multiple times

That's it for now. Overall this is a excellent game that I've thoroughly enjoyed, please keep up the great work!

That's my point there should be options. Either or both...not all these suggestions are meant to be implemented all together.

I'd just like for the game to remember when i choose to display my armor setup. It's annoying to have to turn it on every time I log in.

- Have the edge of the screen or some type of visual warning that you are low on hp

make it look like a fps. don't see a point in this except for royal jelly maybe. i dont ever felt a need for this, because everytime i get hit i normally check my life, since from strat 4 on every hit seems to make enough damage to make me check it.

i agree much here, and even more, the chat in game SK is just howful specially when u speaking with a friend with wier or long name where u gotta always go to social.

Filter/Search based on UV - This would allow UV related markets to be much more organized

that exists already, besides smart ppl dont sell Uv's on AH...

Ability to post multiple auctions based on the a # of items/stack and how many stacks with a price per stack

this probably been suggested and its not implemented to make the living of merching less productive since it takes like 5 min just to sell 100 mats individually(yea boring!)

Display a price per item when searching for items

that does not makes sense, its an auction house, there's not standard price, besides there is no accurate price for items in SK.

Get rid of auction timer resetting on each bid to eliminate auction bid winning being about who can camp longer instead of who is willing to pay more

u can bid as much as u want u dont need to stick to the min bid, its often better to actually raise the price all from once, because the other person will think twice b4 bidding again, i mean if the other raises 15 crowns in 10k mat, ill say ok its just more 15 crowns.

Allow an option to clear all mail from the auction house without having to click each message multiple times

totally with u there, i hate when i got get like 20 shards and they all sending individually and i go oh well more 1 min opening AH emails.

" "Display a price per item

" "Display a price per item when searching for items"

I think he meant it this way:
There is a stack of 3 items in the AH, and price of the stack is (say) 150 crowns.
Then price per item is 50 cr.

Another auction, that same stack of 3 items, price is (say) 207 crowns.
Price per item is 69 cr.

If that makes a sense :)

Yep that is exactly what I

Yep that is exactly what I meant with the Auction House suggestion. The sort by buy price already sorts by the price per item, but its not displayed. Just be nice to see the price per item.

Also I didn't realize there was a sort option by variant, that will help a lot. Still being able to actually filter so you only see a particular variant would be nice.
