Here are some serious suggestions I would like to see for the game. I think most other players, will like them too :)

I know OOO is trying to push out a PvP patch right now, so I'll mix in my suggestions with that in mind.

1) Customizable Guild Halls! Guild members must deposit a certain amount of CE and Crowns, before the Guild Master can add a shop/pvp practice arena/extensions. It would also be cool to see guild vs guild pvp, playable in eachother's guild halls!

2) Guns for each element, similar to the Polaris (one shot than explode). Why does shock get all the love? :S It would be very useful to see this with fire/freeze/poison/curse etc etc.

3) Color changers! Items to change your characters color! I'm red, but I want to be green! Than maybe I'll want to be orange! Who knows?

4) Item color changers! You can change the color of your armor, (for a fee), except special cases, such as Vog Helmet, since that'd be difficult to code + it wouldn't look very good. Also, more than just 1 color, maybe a primary color, and a secondary color.

5) PvP only and PvE only items! That way you can pwn with your awesome swords in the clockworks, but not worry about it unbalancing the PvP game!

6) Once a 5* item reaches 10 heat, you have the option to restart that item back all the way down to it's original level, (Say you have a Divine Avenger, it'd start back down to Sealed Sword 1 heat), except this time, you can pick your UV! Up to two times, maybe 1 depending on what would make the game better.

7) Edited: Did not like this idea after all.

8) Stats after each dungeon! Who did what damage? Who had the most deaths? Who did the most ressing? Etc. Etc.

5/8 of my suggestions were about customizing ;) *Hint Hint* (Players love to customize their gear, of course customizations would cost CE too!)

Sorry, I don't read every single thread posted on here. Although, apparently you do. I'll check with you from now on before starting a new thread to make sure it wasn't already posted a year ago ;)

It's not vague. If you know what Polaris is (1 shot, then explosion), you'd know the game has few guns that shoot like it.

You can disagree with #6. I think myself it is a good idea, because once you do reach all 5* items, interest in the game wanes. And this would keep players active imo. Ofc, these would not be usable in PvP.

#7, No, it wouldn't have have effect on the items, just to make em look cooler :).

u should really rephrase that

u should really rephrase that 2nd one then. polaris/ supernova are one of a kind lines i dont see why u want to clone them but filling it out with something like fire or freeze may work

6 would devalue UVs further than the trinkets

I agree. But why does the devalue have to be a bad thing?

Nobody would buy

No-one would get them using energy, thus less people need energy, therefore less people buy energy=OOO lose money.

And no-one would buy them off you

Here's a suggestion more serious than this.

Unlearning recipes via a Space Clown that used to work for King Tinkinzar, but he died of memory loss and came back to life as a geniune pig (not a guinea pig).

Why do my threads always attract trolls :S

I would like some feedback from players, do you like these ideas? Which ones? Which ones do you not like?

I do NOT agree with more guns

I do NOT agree with more guns being like the polaris in graphics. I don't like it. If someone spams the gun where I'm trying to sword something down I can't see. It's as bad as the nitronome to me.

Most of these have come up

Most of these have come up before, but there's something bears mentioning about recolouring items - a great deal of SK's higher-level equips are essentially palette-swaps already. It'd have to be incredibly carefully implemented to work at all.

After that, the point of UV's are that you spend spend spend! Buy items, upgrade em with energy. Didn't find what you wanted? TOO BAD :D!
Go back to step 1 after you dried up your tears.

If you want pvp and pve gear go play WoW I heard they got tons of that.

As for number 7: Lets put it up! Wow sparkle sunshine! In fact lets make a shop with only that stuff! After we can get it updated with items instead of implementing real updates! Plenty games get stalled enough with little baby accessories that make you sparkle and glow like a big flaming circus parade.
Why not this one? Next we get mexican hats! I love me a good sombrero, after that I want giant oversized sparkling angel wings that show everyone who doesn't care how much of an awesome player I am.

If you haven't already noticed I do not like number 7 very much, I tried putting that down lightly.

As for item colors, just smack in the palette from character creation and put a price on it.
Weapon color is fine that way it is.

@ Valkyrie182 OOO wouldn't

@ Valkyrie182

OOO wouldn't necessarily lose money from that upgrade. If anything, they'd make money.

The upgrade for the specific UV would make it more expensive, than what is on the AH. If they're business savvy, the specific UV upgrade will cost a lot. Thus making them more money, not less.

@ Urabrask, the upgrade wouldn't be random UVs, they'd be specific.

And no. WoW does not have PvE, PvP specific gear. In fact, I can't think of a specific game that allows you to only use tyes of gear in PvP or PvE. PvP is coming soon, and there will have to be a way to deal with it, because frankly, I do see items currently in the game that would unbalance PvP very much (Everyone will be using those items, etc).

As for the criticism on #7, I didn't really think of it that way. I would have to agree with you, I do not like games micro managing their 'in-game shop' instead of REAL updates. I do like the idea of customization though.

I meant actual cash...

Cuz people will buy ce to get the trinket slots using cash, but they won't have to if they can just choose their UV's after upgrading.

Oh, and trolling by me is unintentional.
