    For a long time I thought to make a list of ideas but always give up because there is some post, which to a lesser or greater extent, contains some of them. In the end I decided to put together this list how this game could be improved.

    1. Game Files - I understand that the philosophy of BP's is "best browser game" but storage of files in local temp folder that most players did not know where it is can only lead to problems. Several times it happened that within two days BP realise a new version of the game and the next day realize update that is essentially a completely new version as requested download the entire game. Such an approach easily leads to errors in the version files, the absence of key files, slow loading games and individual maps when the folder DSOClient have thousands of files total size of several GB, etc. Everyone lets chack size of your: C:\Users\NAME\AppData\Local\Temp\DSOClient folder. Game is only 650Mb.

    2. Voucher code in the client - Client program should get a form to enter voucher code, most likely on the screen where player select the character. Last winter event when BP shared every day bonus codes clearly state the need for this change.

    3. Server change - While in Browser is easy to change the server on which the player want to play the game, the client is required to login again to choose another server. I guess that are not many of old players who, at the begging of this game, have one character on each server in order to try each of class but I think it would still be nice to have that option.

    4. Upper left corner - It is clear that this part need necessary graphic changes. The line for the GoP amount is grafted on preliminary panel and shopping basket is not in line with the rest of the graphics interface.

    5. Character window - It would be nice if the information on the % of chances for armor, block rate and amount, critical hit and resistance was available in the table and not as a tooltip. Most of players know that the relative numbers do not mean much here due to the fact that their value change depending on the players lvl.

    6. Quests / Quests view - It is nice that you add tab for the event quests but you should add the tab for the arena quests. Game is restricted to a max of 10 tasks and this tab would be welcome because in four arenas player can get 8 tasks. Even a novice player can take in the first two arenas 4 task.

    7. Quests / Daily challenges – Need complete rework of tasks from scratch. By changing the economics of the game prizes in gold/silver lost thair value. One low lvl ring or belt that gives % critical dmg have 30-40 worth of silver. Even a lower lvl player (lvl 16-18) can easly collect 30-40-50 gold pieces in a day. New daily challenges should give a reward in andermants, GoP, realm fragments and items that have some value in the game. Next you need to add new tasks, for example tasks could be like in winter event: 3x, 5x, 10x boss mob for that lvl players. And in the end it would be nice to increase the choice of tasks to 4 or 6.

    8. Event window - It would be nice to have a tab for upcoming events. Tab could be in the form of a calendar in the forum (which still does not work) or just the table with the name of the event and what month is planned to be held

    9. Chat window - Server constantly keep resetting chat window on the "local" tab when changing maps and is really irritating. The player must have option to decides what chat thay will read and that choice would not be changed by server. Regardless of whether player changed one, two, three, or countless maps if he chose to follow the group chat or guild chat its shoud stick until he decide to change it. Enough frustrating is the fact that the content of the chat is lost if there is any reconnection or maps are reloaded so...

    10. Skill bar / Size – Player should be able to change size of skill bar. You could make option in Main Manu / Settings to allow player to reduce it size in 10% increments. Each player could select size 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 or 100%. This bar serves more as an info than its have real use so it could be smaller. Its looks like no big deal but every one knows how irritating is archers in m1 or m2 and player could not target them because thay are under the skill bar.

    11. Skill bar / Essence - There are two questions hire. one is auto pickup of ess and second is type of ess in use. Many of players find annoying auto pickup of ess, its leads to the need to open his inv and remove ess from the bar. My suggestion is that you use solution from Diablo game. By right clicking the icon for ess it will open mini windows or a scrollbar from which the player could choose the option: off, +5, +16, +26, + 34, + 40, Combat, War and Destruction ... depending on what you have in your inventory.

    12. Skill bar / Teleport vs mount - Teleport function does not have the keyboard shortcout and it is necessary to be on the skill bar but mount function is completely the same and much more used in game. There are two possible solutions. First, a little "cheaper" solution is to allow the same icon used by both functions. Left click teleport and right click mount. Another solution is proper solution where both of icons will be on skill bar one above the other. The choice of which mount would be used will be similar to selection of skills, dragging them from inv to the bar.

    13. Skill bar / Globes - Dont get me wrong... thay are very nice graphics but HP and mana / steam / rage / concentration globes should be little reduced. Their size plays no role except in covering the screen. Perhaps it would be better to make tham in form of vertical bar devided in 5 or 10 sections.

    14. Arena / Weapon range - Drakensang have to introduce a limit on the weapon range in the arena. For most players arena is to find suitable places where they can stand and shoot in line waiting for someone to stumbled on their shots. Also in a duel (1vs1) players shots from the edge of the arena trying to hit opponent according to the position of the dot on the mini map. Weapon range should be reduce to the visible part of the screen in order to provide fair fight. Many times I was dead without chance to see opponent, and whan I find him in arena "eye to eye" he was dead in few sec even I was only a centurion and he was marshal.

    15. Arena / Gun turret - Steam mechanics are currently favored in 6vs6 arena because their gun turret is the only skill that can not be destroyed. Wolves and Guardians have their HP and are subject to dmg/kill and the gun turret are not. Each of us had a chance to see how SM lineup gun turret on the tower and run around waiting for the gun turret job done. SM have the advantage plus the game award points for dmg to objects.

    16. Arena / Chat control - There must be strict control of arena chat. The amount of profanity and insults are more then in reasonable quantities. There is a lack of control in this question… not just in arena chat but I also find several IGN that are vulgar. Lets try it in hire. I so IGN in Russian written on cirilyc that said EDIT and some number. You all know that forum moderators will very quickly change this name to EDIT hire in forum, but in game…

    17. In game message system - BP says that this is a "masterpiece", ok. Than put the some kind of message system in the game. We all have friends or guild members from other countries and the bast way to communicate is throu in game massages. Just to mention: don’t forget ignore option in massage system :).

    Thats all for now.

    Are you going from forum to forum and collecting suggestions? :D
    Because many of those are old and discussed many times ... some are even accepted by the devs.

    No. I write it some of them in other threads. Rest is just what I saw while playing the game.

    Edit: 1, 2, 3, 6, 8 and 17 are my suggestions that I wrote in other threads. And as I state on the beggining of this post: some of ideas are already on forum by other players... like 7 and 12.

    To qoute myself: " ... but always give up because there is some post, which to a lesser or greater extent, contains some of them."

    Hopefully there's a nice juicy list of game improvements, bug fixes, additions and adjustments somewhere in the Dev's office that'll keep all future releases brimming with improvements based on good ideas from the forum users. :cool:

    18. Guild Search - We finaly have group search... but we dont have guild search. The main characteristic for searching guilds would be the primary and secondary language of communication in guild. But Im shure that others will have idea or two for search criteria.

    P.S. Trakilaki sorry in case this is already on forum :).

    No ... I don't think I have seen this suggestion before. Probably because it is very lame. :D
    You should play the game instead of searching who is playing with whom and what group ... what players are in some particular guild and what language they are talking ... or what gear is someone wearing ...
    What is the point if someone can even see my shoe size ... when he will never get invited into my group (or guild)?

    Topic 1 can not be done it is a requirement of java the way it is done and BP can do nothing about it.

    Topic 2 is on the test server so...

    Topic 3 the browser and thin client are the same. Just your browser keeps your username and password. If you remove that function browser and thin client will require you to login to change servers.

    Topic 6 was designed that way for pvp players. They want you to have less active quests if your going for that as it lowers the speed of anderment.

    Topic 8 has a problem. They don't finalize events that far in advanced and would not want upset people if events keep changing so...

    Or better say you should play the game instead writting silly posts. I didnt write gear or shoe size or color of the cloak... I write language. But obviously you do not have the communication skills so all your cooperation ends in writing of empty posts. You know what people says? One who cant play writes empty post in forum.

    --MERGED--

    Didnt know that...

    Not exactly. In browser you have logon page, and than home page. In home page you can change server, view your game data, input voucher and start the game. That home page are missing in client.

    I did not understand what you want to say.

    Some planning must exist. In january they announced that they were preparing Time of Honor - Desert - Dragan event. I clearly said that there should be only expected month when the event took place. As far as the delay of event... its normal to have some, It is not something about which people would be angry.

    I have played this game to infinity ... twice.
    I suggest you to do the same ... instead of stalking like a voyeur. :D

    Primary and secondary language? What is the importance of having such option?
    Who cares what language people are speaking in their guilds if you are not part of them. Noone will take you to his guild only because you are speaking his language. So what is the point of implementing such a stupid option?
    What else do you want to search within a guilds? Members? You have an option to hover over player's character and you can see that.
    What else? Who is the GM and who is the officer? Well ... that is not of your concern ... become member of that guild and you will see that info as well.

    @.Baraba.

    When giving suggestions be prepared for other players different opinion.
    In a lack of arguments you are going belligerent and insulting the players.
    Next time you want to start a thread, be sure you are familiar with the forum rules.
    All "rude" posts are deleted and this thread is closed!
