Non-specific Wish List

    OK, I know we've had lots of these before - but they keep slippping down the boards and vanishing, and as there's the themed lists around at the moment, I thought this might be a good opportunity to make a list for those things that don't fit specifically under any particular theme.
    I know that our lists and requests do get looked at (and have also heard rumours that certain of our often-wished-for items have actually made their way through to the art department) and want to say Thanks for taking note of our suggestions, even if it's not practical or feasible to produce all of them.
    Having said that - here's a few things that I'd love to see and would have made my life soooo much easier in recent projects ...!
    • More realistic mannequins. The current ones are non-race-specific (other than the special Froglok ones), but even then, they couldn't possibly represent a lot of the races in Norrath. It's virtually impossible to dress them up to even semi-realistically represent a proper person unless they're in full armour with arms, legs, hands, head fully covered. This doesn't matter for use simply as clothing display, but DOES matter whan trying to use them to stand in for a statue or other semi-naturalistic looking figure. The best that can be done, if you want a humanoid figure with customisable clothing, is to use one of the NotD Antonia or Lucan masks and ... that doesn't really work all that well. I'd love to see a shop-dummy sort of mannequin, one male, one female, basic model, non-race specific hair (eg like the male elf plushie - sorry, can't remember the name of it) - only with fully customisable clothing like the current mannequin system.

    • Curved or arched building blocks! As in - to be able to build arches with, or on their sides, they could be used to create a curved wall. Of course no curve is ever going to be perfect for every design, but if we had, say, a 45-degree segment of a ring (an eighth of a ring) then I can think of sooo many uses for that (or, even better, that and a more gentle curve as well).

    • Pointed arches to be used around windows or to combine with pillars to make proper arches (that one's a bit more specialised!)

    • While we're on curves .... and this is probably a no-no because of the sheer number of tiles out there now - properly round tiles would be lovely. Not with angles like the current carpenter and faire rounded tiles, but smoothly round so that they combine properly with cylindrical objects and platforms.

    • I'd also love for there to someday be SOME sort of hollow dome item for use in constructing buildings etc. I don't think there's anything of this sort ingame, or if there is, I couldn't find it!

    "arches"
    Yes! And vaults.

    - coffee pots and tea pots
    - hand cranks for homemade wells, roasting spits, tinkered mechanisms, etc.
  3. ARCHIVED-Sinieya Guest

    tomatoes
    tomato plants
    potatoes in a bin/barrel
    corn on the cob
    corn stalks
    a broom (not to ride)
    gardening tools
    different fish meals
    ice cream sundaes (or just scoops in a bowl)
    pancake stacks
    lobster meal
    slice of pie with ice cream on top
    fondue pot
    grape vine
    tea pot / set
    russian coffee samovar
    a cake - not a holiday themed cake ...just a nice frosted cake, not even picky about the frosting color ...
    soups - in bowls, pots, tureens - chowders, pea soup, whatever
    daisy plants
    tall grasses
    bee hives to hang from trees
    honey pot
    chain - similar to the hanging lights

    Flowers that open and close depending on the time, with animation to change between states. So have some that are open during the day, and others open at night.
    Natural-looking stone building blocks. Same/similar look to the Grobb Crude and Rouch Stone Bench, but in block, half-block, divider, etc, shapes.

    Highly doubt this will go anywhere but....
    A new secondary tradeskill profession - Gardening - to make all the plant house items. (Because seriously, why am I crafting shrubs at a woodworking table?) And then make more plants craftable. Maybe add a gardening recipe book to Moonlight Enchantments; because making root beer again and again is getting just a little bit old.
  5. ARCHIVED-Cyliena Guest

    I will no longer request any more house items publically, but since I do expect prestige homes to be SC, here's my request for one:
    - The Library of K'Lorn in Neriak. The full library, not a truncated version. Opening up the blue wall set inside the rock wall behind where Library Mervyn normally stands would be a bonus because then it would be a nice fireplace area. Please and thank you!
  6. ARCHIVED-thulia Guest

    curtains !!!!!!!!!!!!
  7. ARCHIVED-Ellarae Guest

    A tradeskill version of the Crook Cook quest, for crafters who can't make it through the Vigilant zone. Or at least make the rewards from it tradeable.
  8. ARCHIVED-Zemizia Guest

    I'd love for there to be a new mushroom ring, maybe in Velious somewhere. The merchant could stock the different plants and other decorations from the different DoV zones (i.e. the blue and red trees from Pools would be especially popular!!)
    More plants and different kinds of flowers. Roses, daisies, sunflowers, lillies, and others would be very popular.
    Fruiting trees (a special bonus would be clicky fruiting trees that you can get actual edible fruit from!)
    We need more fish plushies badly! I love making fish tanks, but it's a little disturbing that all the fish available to us are man-eating ones :( Like some tropical fish, or betta-type fish would be neat.
  9. ARCHIVED-Zemizia Guest

    Last one: could you please make it so light sources can be seen through the tapestry of the steam lord? I like to use the blue flamey torches sunk down to make a neat light effect in tanks, but the steam lord tapestry blocks all light from it.
  10. ARCHIVED-Laynisa Guest

    So i know i've said this before, but they've yet to do this.

    Prestige housing ideas:
    1. Shadow oak, the entire shadow oak with abiltiy to break out into darklight (preferably 800 item count))
    2. Marrian style prestige house, preferably situated on the isle of mara
    Housing decoration ideas:
    1. Statues of all the worshipable gods for altar rooms etcetc ((maybe even some of the non-worshipable ones, like Saryrn? *hopes*))
    2. Maj'dul themed tiles!
    3. Darker colored stone building blocks and tiles-dont get me wrong, the adamantine and drunder tiles are nice...but...too bright for the evils to properly enjoy!
    4. Arches!!!!
    5. an actual sink, i dont care if looks modern, or whatever, but i've wasted 20 items before in a house just to make a good looking sink.
    6. water tiles, i love the steamlord tapestry, and the polished ice, but the watery platform with the oval arch is a pain to hide, and the fires at the top of the steamlord tapestry make it a pain too.

    Note that all items listed ((minus the prstige houses)) i would prefer to be quested or crafted, or even city festival or gottos, PLEASE dont list them on SC first.

    In-game control of the pitch and roll of house items.
  12. ARCHIVED-thephantomposter Guest

    I would like to be able to fly, nice to get a better perspective and would make it easier placing items up high.

    There's also a bug which has not been fixed:
    The house item "Trophy of the Hunter" gives a speed buff in standard homes, but it is not working in prestige homes, where it is most needed, for running from one end to the other...
  14. ARCHIVED-Bruji Guest

    In-game control of the pitch and roll of house items. I agree, Ive asked for it a zillion times and not even an answer. I dont use the editor and it would help so very much to be able to move items at will. Im loosing hope.
  15. ARCHIVED-ianilu Guest

    1) new rewards to the hungry halfling in Thundering Stepps to include the higher tiers
    2) flowing lava tiles
    3) new moonlight enchantment zone I suggest Lavastorm

    I'd love to see some sort of memorial statue or fountain that could be purchased or given out by Guides for guildmates that died.

    Ideally, I would love to see the ability to take an empty picture frame and put a screenshot of the recently deceased in it.
  18. ARCHIVED-ZUES Guest

    White walls, white floor. Nothing fancy. Nothing sticking out. No highlight colors. No glowing effects. No nothing, just white!
  19. ARCHIVED-Afista Guest

    These windows from village in Lopping Plains

    item warping (ability to distort shapes in game)
    screen shot picture frames
    brick textured stuff.
    limestome textured stuff

    edited!!
    Umbrellas!!!
