Wishlist and suggestions.

This has probably been done many times before, but I think it would be nice to have a thread where everyone contributed some constructive and realistic suggestions on how to improve DDO. I love this game already but there’s always room for improvement.

Many have been playing the Beta and the launch is just around the corner so soon we all have a decent idea what this game holds for us.

I hope this can be made a sticky (Satine, nudge nudge

)

Remember this is only for realistic wishes. I don’t want to see any ‘We want to have dragon mounts’ kinda wishes.

To get things started here’s a few (some of these have been mentioned before):

- Implementation of at least one spell of each elemental type for each spell lvl ( or at the least the lowest lvl’s). right now many of the wizard/sorcerer enhancements are useless.

- I’d like to see the knock spell. (yes I play a wizard)

- A proper walk mode. Right now it’s more like a… canter or something.

- The ability to use an offhand weapon in the quickbar. Maybe it could be fixed by right-clicking on the weapon in the quickbar and a small popup menu appears with the choice of setting the weapon as off hand. Like the kind of menu that appears when you right-click you group members to choose to leave party etc. One way to do it but there’s probably a better way…..

Thank you for keeping this a clean constructive thread.

Familiars, of course what they do is totally up to Turbine, from being trap spotting scouts to a fighting companion, I just want that ice weasel that Minsc promised me...

The offhand weapon, weapon and shield thing is already fixed and ready to be implemented apparently.

A first person viewpoint.

Not becuase I want to play "Dungeon doom" but because it just feels clunky playing in 3rd perspective.

Oh I just thought of another thing. I don't know if its just me who can't find a way to do it but I'd like to be able to rotate the camera so I can see my own character from the front. I wanna see how others see me.

Press the middle mouse button

I just want to see lots more content (what's there is great). They have built a world where I can see the potential for plenty of new quest givers and entrances for new quests. I would also like to see some randomness in the dungeons.

I'm sure all of this will come, I just hope it comes regularly enough.

Turbine have built a wonderful basis on whcih to expand.

Middle mouse button mate

Yeah, the walk is kinda funny, looks like you've just sh@ yourself or have spent the night biting the pillow.

Once thing I'd like to see is a damage dice along with the hit dice. I can never see the damage numbers clearly.

Oh, and many more emotes for in the pub and a few pub games (playing darts with, er, darts, becomes boring after a while because there's no dartboard and you always hit with 100% accuracy).

Aye Pub and Tavern games where you actually see the 'mini game' your playing would be very cool, the gambling ones that are in game are, to put it bluntly, boring. Where is the fun in talking to an NPC and them just telling you the result? The Dice rolling game in the Phoenix would be the easiest to implement, just show us both dice rolls using the same system as the to hit dice.

Nothing worse than seeing 20 Rangers all called Leeegulaass or similar. Or a tavern filled with 7 wizards all with names starting with "Ganda...."

My wishlist item..... Ban then ALL!

All those spelling varients too. Damm

with a total lack of

imagination.
