Some Ideas & Suggestions!

[Kai]

Some ideas that I believe will make a great server even better.

1. Auto dismount on spell cast.
2. Teleport to PI added to the teleport man: we can go everywhere instantly except PI. (PB is level restricted so it doesn't count) Its cheaper To move to PI but you have to do the extra trip to the water.
3. Stacking RT's. Bundles and individual rt's moving around your bag and changing belt slots if you run out is not that fun. Stacks could be limited #'s and/or limited bag quantity (if thats possible). So if its 12 per stack but your only allowed to carry 48 max then you have 4 stacks. Leave no limit but allow them to stack to 6 just like a bundle? One stack of 48? Pot slot usage seems perfect, limited sun pot and buff pot quantities but ease of use for regular pots.
4. Server side storage for bag and belt slot usage. I swap cpu's quite regularly if I'm upstairs or downstairs, so having my bags be a huge mess of items every time I switch is frustrating.
5. Color selection for chat types. I am slightly colorblind and I sometimes have trouble differentiating between group and guild chat.
6. Volume control!
7. Muting and unmuting doesn't change your BGM/Effects settings.
8. Tab on keypress to show ground item names. 'N' on and off left in is great as I'm sure there are those that would prefer it.

Thanks!

the tab key isnt really a great idea as that is the key you use to pick stuff up. holding it to pick stuff up would disrupt your play (turning show items on and off ).

Tab keydown is what I was intending to say. So it would turn on item name display when the key is held and turn it off when it is released. It wouldn't turn it on and off permanently like the N button.

Some ideas that I believe will make a great server even better.

1. Auto dismount on spell cast.
Atm, there is far more important stuff to worry about, but I spose in the future we could look into this (no promises)

2. Teleport to PI added to the teleport man: we can go everywhere instantly except PI. (PB is level restricted so it doesn't count) Its cheaper To move to PI but you have to do the extra trip to the water.
It is fine where it is and it is where everyone expects it to be.

3. Stacking RT's. Bundles and individual rt's moving around your bag and changing belt slots if you run out is not that fun. Stacks could be limited #'s and/or limited bag quantity (if thats possible). So if its 12 per stack but your only allowed to carry 48 max then you have 4 stacks. Leave no limit but allow them to stack to 6 just like a bundle? One stack of 48? Pot slot usage seems perfect, limited sun pot and buff pot quantities but ease of use for regular pots.
Not sure what you mean, but again bundles are expected and changing this would cause extra work that we don't need at the moment.

4. Server side storage for bag and belt slot usage. I swap cpu's quite regularly if I'm upstairs or downstairs, so having my bags be a huge mess of items every time I switch is frustrating.
I am confused again? Bag and slot memory should already be in? what ever position you leave your items in should be the position they are in when you log back in? If this is not the case then it is a bug and I suggest making a thread in bug section on it?

5. Color selection for chat types. I am slightly colorblind and I sometimes have trouble differentiating between group and guild chat.
I would like to cater to a number of different aspects including option to adjust colours of client aswell as multi lingual client... Again things that are no where near a priority at the moment.

6. Volume control!
F12, Volume Settings, controls both normal and background sounds.

7. Muting and unmuting doesn't change your BGM/Effects settings.
Just tested and yes they do, you need to hit the "Apply" button though.

8. Tab on keypress to show ground item names. 'N' on and off left in is great as I'm sure there are those that would prefer it.
Again kind of a low priority considering 'n' works.

Thanks!

I understand the above probably isn't what you want to hear, but its an honest look at it.

No worries, its a suggestion to make things better no timeline required.

As I read this it feels like an attack on honest feedback. 'Fine' and 'where its always been' doesn't mean that its the best it can be, thus why I am putting for a helpful suggestion. Again, no timeline required there is nothing personal here. The server is great and I am venturing to input my time to help make it better.


3. Stacking RT's. Bundles and individual rt's moving around your bag and changing belt slots if you run out is not that fun. Stacks could be limited #'s and/or limited bag quantity (if thats possible). So if its 12 per stack but your only allowed to carry 48 max then you have 4 stacks.

Not sure what you mean, but again bundles are expected and changing this would cause extra work that we don't need at the moment.

Bundles and loose rt's are nowhere near as nice as a 20 stack of rt's was in US mir. No timeline just a suggestion...

4. Server side storage for bag and belt slot usage. I swap cpu's quite regularly if I'm upstairs or downstairs, so having my bags be a huge mess of items every time I switch is frustrating.
I am confused again? Bag and slot memory should already be in? what ever position you leave your items in should be the position they are in when you log back in? If this is not the case then it is a bug and I suggest making a thread in bug section on it?

Two things: bag items are saved locally so switching cpus means it has no idea where items go and puts them in the first empty bag slots. Secondly, relating to rt's above, its nice for me to have all the different items in the same slots so I know what to sell, whats my amc set, etc etc, so rt's being all over the bag when you open a bundle is frustrating compared to how nice it is in stacks.

5. Color selection for chat types. I am slightly colorblind and I sometimes have trouble differentiating between group and guild chat.

Neat!

6. Volume control!
F12, Volume Settings, controls both normal and background sounds.

Doh..the colorful things!

7. Muting and unmuting doesn't change your BGM/Effects settings.
Just tested and yes they do, you need to hit the "Apply" button though.

Setting the BGM to off and applying. Then use the Sound toggle button on the UI. If you toggle the sound back on it will change your BGM to on again. I wasn't too clear in my explanation there.

8. Tab on keypress to show ground item names. 'N' on and off left in is great as I'm sure there are those that would prefer it.
Again kind of a low priority considering 'n' works.

A consideration is all I was going for, its a suggestion after all.

Thanks!

Added some info and cleared up some of my explanations.

I especially love #2 and #3

1. YES!
2. Again, I agree. Seems like a pointless trip considering everywhere else is accessible via direct tele.
3. Get rid of "bundles" all together, and just have pots and teleports stack to 6. Eliminates the stupid need to "unbundle" everything. This would also bring back an element of Euromir where pots were bundled. Only here you dont need to unbundle them. This would, of course, reduce the current pot stack of 20, down to 6, but I think I would be good, as it brings back an element of Euromir that everyone remembers. Pots bundled to 6, but without the tedious unbundling all the time. Win, Win.
4. Again, YES.
5. A good idea! Even though I am not colorblind, I still like the idea of customizing the color of different chats. Being a long time WoW player, it would be easier if my different chats were colored the same as that.
6. It's in the options.
7. Not sure what you mean by that. Muting does what its supposed to do. It switched the sound off.
8. Yes. good idea!

The Pot bundling to 6 issue just doesn't work imo.

Bundling Pots to 6 was fine in the early days of Mir when no one could fill a bag with pots, Nowadays warriors are approaching level 50.

Having Pots bundled at 6 would essentially allow them to completely fill there bag despite being no where near the bag weight limit.

I agree pots to 20 is nice, 6 was too small. Limiting normal potions should be done by bag weight and sun potions/special drugs limited by bag space.
