Nice job, thanks for taking the time.

And i was reading the link at the end of op and i got to this.

»Community has said "no":

»Removal of or Changes to the Energy System (never gonna happen, now please play the game or pick another)
»Dual-wielding in place of shields/Shield removal for [insert whatever here]

In light of recent events affecting 1 i feel tempted to dig out a suggestion i made last time about shields. Lol.
I really like that suggestion.

+1 to everything.

I was sad to see divine mantle didn't give any bonus.... Also that prize wheel thingy... Did you get that off my old thread?

The prize wheel has been the bane of many, and I was rather upset when I died on a floor, got a heart in the prize wheel, and then started the next level alive with the regular three hearts.
I don't know which thread you're talking about but elevator prize wheel fixes have been suggested multiple times.

I don't know if this has been suggested/discussed before, but I find a little annoying the inability to see how many people is waiting in which Tier in LD. I mean, all I see is something like "9 waiting", but there's no way to know if 8 of those 9 are waiting for T3 and I'm the only one waiting for T2, or 3 are in T1, 3 in T2 and 3 in T3.

Offtopic: Is it just me, or the forum is derping again?

@Wavara

It has been suggested many a time before. I didn't add it though because I thought they fixed it by making only those with the same tier eligibility as you show those numbers. Does the number change when your tier eligibility changes? If not then I might have to add that.

Offtopic, the last edit date replaces the post date.

Nope, numbers doesn't change. Tried unmarking everything, changing my current equipment, closing the Coliseum window, changing and opening it again, etc.

I can't believe they haven't fixed that, it's so, erm, obvious?

Offt: didn't know, most places add an 'Edited' tag instead of replacing the original date.

Alright then, I'll add it into the OP.

Drupal doesn't do it because it's dumb. That's also in the OP, second point down.

Make the Divine Mantle and Hood fiend low.

Fiend VH in a set with multiple resistances and both Elemental and Shadow damage would blow the Angelic Line out of the water at 5*. A magic armor line with fiend Med split between hood and mantle would be very nice.

Hexzyle's picture

@Toeni-Sevan

But like the Dragon Scale, it has no normal defense. This is a big factor, and the Dragon Scale has two resists to compensate. Although I admit there would be conflict there... I guess shadow defense is of a higher importance (since Undead and Fiends are supposed to be the "harder" enemies) so I'll make the changes as you say.

Derp minerals

Heyzxle, remove the "Deposited Minerals" section, mineral depositing is no longer in game, so it is pointless. (And I don't have master miner.... Green-Twister cries pitifully.)

Also, they did make the screen shake/red barrier toggle-able , so it needs a check.

+1 to all except the prismatic on the SSB. I would prefer that regal be the "yellow" it's supposed to be, not a lime green/throwup color.

Expediting the Sprite Food process. A bit.

1) Remove the current "You've Crafted:" notification. That is only really necessary to give a sense of suspense when creating items since they may have UV's. Replace it with the same effect when learning a recipe or picking up a material.

2) Place Sprite Food in Rarities instead of materials so as to remove the trouble of digging through the Materials tab manually or via the search function. Just seems simpler.

99% sure that you can just skip that using the ESC key. Also, if there was no notification, you might accidentally craft two items, say if you didn't think you clicked on it the first time, or if your computer was lagging.
The second one might be good but pets only eat materials... not sure how that'd work...

Hey look, a double post!

Hmm, why not add to the list: Increase heat needed to level up so that forging is optional at around halfway through a heat level.

Shorts are comfy and easy to wear, it's true!

But the 4th wall has feelings.

Hey Hex, add this for mail: the ability to mail multiple people at once, with names separated by commas in the "Recipient" section. Possible cap at 5 people per mail.

Sounds reasonable. BTW the thread ain't dead, I'm always adding new entries to it whenever I see good ideas, I just don't see the need to bump it every single time that I do.

A few mail suggestions:

  • Allow for sending to multiple people at the same time; it would save some hassle for people who like to send guild updates to the people part of it.
  • Extend the DC time when composing mail to someone by several minutes. The number of times an old friend comes on and sends me a 2 page letter while I'm offline, and I DC about to click the Send button when I get on...
  • Change the attachment mail function to an additional 25-30 crowns per item, with a 25 crown fee for either crowns or energy each.
  • Allow us to archive certain mails; since my friends sometimes send me long, heartfelt ones, I'd like to preserve some past the 30 day limit.

Kinda what the sent mailbox is for. Also a guild bulletin (my current most wanted suggestion) would be far better IMO for notifying guildmates of stuff.
I'll put it in the OP anyway since people want it.

Ouch. I didn't realise that typing didn't reset the DC timer.
Another idea though, what if the mail menu didn't disappear when you get disconnected from the server? That way you could highlight+copy your message, then paste it into a new message when you log back in?

Change the attachment mail function to an additional 25-30 crowns per item, with a 25 crown fee for either crowns or energy each.

Um, howcome?

I agree that there should be some sort of export feature like there is in the Guild Records.

But you don't know exactly WHEN you'll DC, and won't know when to Copy exactly, and still lose parts of your letter. I've done that, copying my letter once every 30 seconds or so. I lost 3 paragraphs anyways.

Um, howcome?

Because logic of pay-as-you-go.

You won't lose anything because even though you've DC/d, your mail will still be sitting open on your main menu.
Although there is a privacy issue with that...

Because logic of pay-as-you-go.

Services don't always work like that. Mailing services charge an amount for a threshold of weight or size. The attachment cap is the limit for that first 100 crown threshold. If you want to send "larger" packages, that's when you bust out another letter.

It's been added into the OP.

Allow the players to disable guild invites and/or friend requests. Also, let the players have an ignore list for an entire guild so none of the members can send them a guild invite.

Allow Drakon Flame Barriers to be able to wear away minerals/interact with other blocks. It's already being underused in favor of barriers.

I have another idea that fits this list. Make the Arsenal Stations effect the whole starting area of a level this way people can re-equip during loading screens.

Let us send clockworks run requests to join. If the party is full and/or open, then you cannot send a clockworks run request.

Let us put certain tier loadouts on PvE or PvP in one click. For example, if I want to play Tier 2 and have a bunch of Tier 3 loadouts, we should be able to mark them all (Tier 3) into PvE in one click.

Make an option where forge does not pop up when you open up the arsenal.

Shield Costume

I agree with this idea because I want the purple torto shield (which protect from shadow) but I would rather have the green torto shield (which protects from elemental) as a costume because my personal colour is green and it would match a bit more xD
