What is your top 5 priority list?

[KeithStone]

Tell us your top 5 priorioty list that you would like the devs to work on next, don't say bug fixes - I want to know your top 5 feature list.

1. Item Decay
2. Combat Revamp
3. A way to carry mass resources, example would be a pack animal
4. Auction System (I know this is coming, I'm assuming it will be local to each tribe which will make it very awesome) I'm also hoping that non-tribe members will be able to use this feature.

Shit I completely forgot about

revision 4. to include more freeform building, or just better fitting pieces right now if you can't build stuff on top of stuff without some sort of distance inbetween and if you try to do anything creative it's a big "get stuck here" trap.

[Aramanu]

lol dezgard.

now tell us your priority list for xsyon. :P

[mmogaddict]

Out of interest, why Rio?

As to 4/5 I was actually helping out an ex-mmorpg developer who is currently playing your game last night.

[Plague]

Dezgard get back to work, stop spamming forums.:)

1. Item quality
2. Item Decay
3. Farming (forestation included)
4. Re-working animals. From AI to toughness (sorry dudes I can kill a bear in 3 strokes, that is simply silly)
5. Combat overhaul (complete one, no stone should be left unturned on this one)

[Kinslayer]

1. Item decay/quality (I believe these are closely related)
2. Water Skins/containers
3. Logistical Devices such as carts, handcarts, wheelbarrows
4. Rare/Regional/capturable resources
5. Combat, both mechanics as well as PvE content.
5a. Knockout rather than death when PvPing with the option to kill / combined with the alignment system.

5 is tough, but these would have to be the most important to me. Other candy stuff like agriculture, religion, freeform building, and of course more content like more buildings, are just icing on the cake.

Trees respawning should really be up there too, though not in my top 5.

[NorCalGooey]

1) Item STATS so we know what does what (example, bone armor has more encumbrance but more resistance as well). The MnB gear stat system works really well with the combat system. More armor = slower attack speed, walk speed, and less damage = completely realistic. things like that need to be addressed on items. Otherwise, as of now everything is aesthetic only.

2) Option for tribal warfare. An option for tribal skirmishes would be good too. What I mean is that combat will be turned on in tribal zones but not looting. So tribes could practice holding down their lands and such. Plus, this would be just a GREAT way to mix things up. A no risk, no reward PvP scenario where both sides must agree before it is turned on and it would be limited in time as well. Such as 20 minutes of attacking but no loot at a time

3) You need to go MUCH MORE in depth with your architecture system. Where this game would REALLY shine is if you could implement housing design where each player could do the floor plan of his own house. As of now, members in tribes don't have much option to build or design personal areas. We just get to pick a hut and store bins in it. Most people would absolutely love the freedom of design for their own house or hut.

4) PvP system revamp. Do it just like Mount and Blade :) Seriously if Mount and Blade was a sandbox MMO I wouldn't be playing this game or any other game ever. Without the freedom to manual swing (although we kind of do but we cant hold the blade down it just swings right away) and manual block the PvP system will be nothing special, and it needs to be very special in an FFA loot sandbox game.

5) Add riding. Horses are a lot more realistic than taming a black bear and mounting it regardless of whether or not there were horses in Tahoe or not. They could have easily migrated there for the sake of a story that makes sense.

Very strong armor, weapons, etc, would take 100 hours of material gathering to make (you get my drift) so people actually have a REASON to PvP. There is ZERO point to full loot when all I can get is that bone armor that didn't take very long to make. PvP has to create loss of precious items or it will just be another battle ground.

[KeithStone]

1) Otherwise, as of now everything is aesthetic only.


Armor and weapons already have stats - Cloth = 100 points of protection Grass Armor = 150 points Leather = 200 points and Bone = 300 points

Weapons have them too, there's a post on here somewhere that shows what they are.

[NorCalGooey]

If that is true, thats a much larger problem. People shouldn't have to rely on the forums or asking the devs to find out what there armor does.

Seriously, that's how people know? They asked the devs and they told them? This needs to be crystal clear on the gear.


that should actually be one of the top priorities, period.

[mgilbrtsn]

1) Item Decay
2) Architecture recipes and reasons for having it
3) Greater variety of killing targets... especially zombies (Includes AI updates, difficulty changes, etc)
4) Greater variety of terrain (Old mansions, cities, mines, etc)
5) Combat Revamp

[dezgard]

Item details/tool tips are coming soon :p

[NorCalGooey]

Very good. What does soon mean again? =P heh jk

[dezgard]

Soon means we are at least touching it hehe

[Phazaar]

1. Combat revamp (Ranged combat+PvE elements included)
2. Combat r.... I mean, crafting revamp (time-based crafting, 'practise' options, mini-games, item quality, the recipe gain system we were promised to start with etc. anything to make the newly revamped combat system not the ONLY thing to do in the game... ;) )
3. Simple stuffs, water containers, not having to click the water button every 10 seconds (even a queue/toggle would be enough to keep me quiet), patchwork cloth options, etc.
4. Animal taming - Pack animals number 1 priority (fuck it, even wheel barrows would be a step up -_- ), mounts number 2, etc...
5. Healing+Cooking implementation (maybe even revamp for eating+drinking systems)

Oh, 6. Comfort... 7. Hiding revamp... 8..., Jokes. There's obviously a shit-tonne more, but I feel those 5/6/7 would have the game in a condition where I would be happy to do something other than grind my hiding and watch TV. More importantly, they'd have the game somewhere I feel I could introduce my friends to it, and even more importantly, I might actually be willing to pay a monthly fee for it...

[jokhul]

Quality/Durability on tooltips !
Animal and resource respawn that actually works...
Decay and Comfort systems
Walls and gates that actually work
Alignment system with death penalties
Combat improvements (e.g. sync issues)

[d3m0nd0]

[Soulwanderer]

1. Combat fixed and made fun.
2. Resource quantities revisited/conflict opportunities added
3. Tribal/Siege Warfare systems implemented

[Hanover]

1. Combat overhaul
2. Tribal/Siege Warfare
3. Removal of safe zones
4. Structures serving a purpose
5. Resource limitations

[mrcalhou]

I think it's a good sign that most of our ideas are similar.

[Hanover]

I think it's a good sign that most of our ideas are similar.

The bad news is... "Item details/tool tips are coming soon":p

[MrDDT]

1)Combat that works, and that doesnt look like 2 people slapping each other in a girlfight.
2)Item decay. Major item decay. Not it will decay after 100000 uses, or after 2 weeks, but you get into a fight, and you lose 10% effectiveness until its repaired. Or using an axe on a tree will make it slower or use more energy per action, etc.
3)Regional resources that are limited.
4)REAL STATS for items. Not something thats 1% better, but things that have major effects. WITH TOOL TIPS!!
5)Tracking.

[orious13]

1)Turn on everything that's been off.
2)Put in all of the other animal types.
3)Decay...all of the crap we can make should be pretty flimsy. We shouldn't get superior condition items until we can smelt our own metal etc.
4)Fix Combat
5)Create "hot zone" areas that bring people together like the coon thing, but hopefully don't have the server break again.

But I personally don't really care...not playing that much.

[angus858]

1. Chat system with real local chat (distance based)
2. Rare and regional resources, recipes that need those resouces
3. Better animal spawns
4. Buildings that serve a function
5. farming

[Haphazard]

1. Reenabling of tooltips (and actual implementation of quality for items)
2. item decay
3. elimination of Preorder weapons (or giant increase in armor effectiveness)
4. group vs group pvp mechanics
5. land conquest

[Delvie]

1. Put in the animals (supposed to be like 20 different kinds)
2. Chat window opacity - make it easier to read white font on white snow, etc - all other chat improvements can wait but this one is giving me major headaches.
3. Item decay
4. Look at recipes - what's in game, what's not but should be, what's missing ingredients - I know this could be considered a bug but I expect some enhancements will come out of this.
5. Resource regeneration - trees/junk piles, etc.
6. Stability - make sure none of the above breaks the game
7. Combat upgrade
8. Animal Taming
9. Cooking
10. Comfort
11. Farming (as in fields of grain and herds of cows) and Gardening (as in a vegetable garden and a goat or couple of chickens) - Note this might have to come before Animal Taming depending on what tamed animals eat.

[xyberviri]

0. winning lottery ticket numbers.
1. Item Decay
2. Tool Tips
3. Animal Spawns
4. Item Quality

3. Farming / Forestry;

5. Very ancient mythologies coming back (Magic?).

Thank you for listening.

This is pretty much my 5 as well. Though I also want those items almost unamimously posted by everyone...Item Decay, Combat Revamp ect.

[Haphazard]

http://rob.nu/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/facepalm12.jpg

You guys really think Animal Taming is the #1 priority, and topping that off the #2 priority is Cooking?!!?!

Sigh.

[Malivius]

^ <-- Agreed...I'm going to revise my post here with a bump.

1. STABILITY
2. COMMUNICATION
3. STABILITY AND COMMUNICATION
4. COMMUNICATION
5. STABILITY

Another rollback like the one today and every damn zone in the game will be empty...
I was really fighting for and remaining hopeful that a nice little content patch would make it out by now...I've obviously fooled myself and expected WAY too much...

[ocoma]

[QUOTE=Haphazard;78659 You guys really think Animal Taming is the #1 priority, and topping that off the #2 priority is Cooking?!!?!

Sigh.[/QUOTE]

You are a moron. The OP asked what each person had as their top 5, not what is the overall top priorities.

Yes for me Animal Taming is MY no 1. I spec'd for that at toon creation and already have 50 pts into it from lvl'ing. Like I said I want all the other stuff people are asking for like item decay, a combat revamp, territory warfare, a real reason to pvp ect but I personally am waiting most eagerly for animal taming and the rest of the animals/AI system.

Cooking/herbalism I really don't care so much for, but the rest of the post I quoted is in my top 5 for sure...
Forestry to plant and harvest trees on tribelands
Ranged combat(since I'm spec'd as a tamer and not for in your face close combat)
Magic(this one really depends how it is done)

[SnowMiser]

1) remove safe zones
2) see #1
3) update combat features
4) trees ( planting and re-growth)
5) trade Vendors

[Gauban]

1. Less junk piles. Only have junk piles around the starting areas.
2. Undrerground Mining.
3. More PvE. Zombies sound cool.
4. Farming, Wells, Irragation, Planting crops.
5. Working Buildings.

[Azhul_NS]

2. Undrerground Mining.
3. More PvE. Zombies sound cool.
4. Farming, Wells, Irragation, Planting crops.
5. Working Buildings.


1 - I'd like to see a few small (renewing and unclaimable) junk piles in the start zones, and a few huge (unclaimable) junk piles out in the wilderness. Really, junk piles are a poor substitute for crafting. We should be mining and smelting metal, not pulling it out of the trash. It's really disappointing that MineCraft actually does a lot of the terraforming and resource gathering better than Xsyon.

2 - After my experience with terraforming in this game - I am guessing that underground mining/tunneling will NEVER be added. I don't think the engine can handle it.

3,4,5 - I agree. Maybe not zombies, though. I like zombies, but I prefer Xsyon be reality-based as much as practical.

[aliksteel]

1) Combat Revamp, Alignment system, Archery, Locking Gates

2) Craft Revamp, Item Decay, Rare/Regional Resources,

3) Agriculture Turned On, Farms, Tree/Grass Planting, Tame/Live Stock,

4) UI Revamp, Chat window Revamp, Tooltips, PC Alignment Marker,

5) Logging Revamp

[mmogaddict]

2 - After my experience with terraforming in this game - I am guessing that underground mining/tunneling will NEVER be added. I don't think the engine can handle it.

You would be correct, Xsyon works based off a height map over a terrain plane. There is nothing in the current engine that allows for the handling of multiple heights in the same coordinate, this is why caves etc are just glorified 'rock house' sitting ontop of the terrain rather than actual real caves.

[mrcalhou]

3,4,5 - I agree. Maybe not zombies, though. I like zombies, but I prefer Xsyon be reality-based as much as practical.

"Modern technology has consumed itself. War has ravaged the planet, opening a rift to another reality.

We know there will be zombies, and will be other things, he says he prefers not to have them.

I like them.

[ifireallymust]

1. Farming/livestock
2. Indoor/outdoor (I go in my house, close the door, walk around, furnish it, etc.)
3. Animal taming
4. Gates that open, close, and lock! (ok really this is number 1 on my list)
5. The ability to store and carry water (right up there with number 4, but only because it makes no sense that we can build buildings and fences and create plenty of fashionable outfits, but we can't make a canteen! I mean, we have a bucket for mortar, right? But we can't carry water around in it?) Also being able to dig a well would be nice, at least before siege warfare becomes possible.

[fatboy21007]

1. decay
2. Arch update
3. trees
4.Animals
5. Crafting improvements
6.combat revamp
7. new zones

[HyBrasil]

On the bright side... at least with his idea there would be at least 2 toons still logging into the game :)

[MrDDT]

ROFL.

Ya Im more than happy with 1 toon per account. IMO 1 toon per CC would be best =P

[Shrimps]

ROFL.

Ya Im more than happy with 1 toon per account. IMO 1 toon per CC would be best =P

I agree, although having people buy multiple accounts helps the game some it kinda makes some limitations kind've useless when you can just have your other character do it.

As for top 5?
1. Combat
2. Add working gates
3. Remove safe zones

And that's all folks

[fotuenti]

This game is stagnating too much...all my guildies have stopped playing again...like before launch.

I'm getting "Roma Victor" Deja'vu, with "small team" excuses and all.

While I agree the foundation should be solid...it's just not what keeps people interested...we need something to show some progress
