Some Things on my Shard Wish List

[Ironbender]

Comments are welcome, but let's not turn this into yet another... "If it ain't broke... don't fix it" War. If NONE of these ever get added, changed or whatever, I will still be logging in to this shard as often as possible, and doing my best with what I can.


Another Note. Some of these maybe my oringinal ideas, other might have been meantioned or suggested by others in the past. This is simply a list of the things I would like to see added, modified, or changed.


1) Please modify the Fishing Script so that Ancient Waterstained SoSs read as such. For those that don't know, BOTH normal SoSs, and the far more valued Ancient SoS when moused over read as "A Waterstained SoS" Aside from the color difference (Normal ones being Gray, and Ancient being White) there is no desernable difference between these two items. As far as I can tell they both use the same Item ID number just like Treasure Maps do, but with T-Maps you can clearly tell the level of the T-Map by mousing over it.

I'm sure this isn't an issue for most players, but there is a VERY select few people (Like myself) that are colorblind. I, myself, cannot tell the difference between Gray and White.

I have had several friends here that have offered to help me tell the difference between them if I were to fish up a bag full, and show it to them. But this still leads to one other possible program I have with the current way of things.
Example: Let's say a 'Shady' Player Vendor has a NORMAL SoS, and puts it on their vendor and enters the desciption of "Ancient SoS" and sets the price to an amount befitting an ASoS. If I was to come along and view this vendor, I would not be able to see that the vendor has mistakenly or intentially mislabeled the item.

2) Peerless Keys. Oh these would be such a godsend. If a script was written quite simular to the current Storage Keys that would hold the Crafting materials that drop off the various Peerless bosses, it would be sweet. I can see an issue with adding the GoC drop items to these keys, since they are Account Bound and it might be possible to circument that effect, buy placing them on the keys, and selling the keys. (Unless of course the Keys THEMSELVES were Account Bound. In Which case adding those features to the keys would also be a terrific help. [Elven Notes would also be another possible add to these keys.]

(Make the keys a reward for completing the Mage's GoC Quest with a check to see if the account already has a bound set. Giving that 21 day long endevore even more desireable yet again, since the value of selling a Completed GoC has gone down about 50% in the last year.)



3) Add Grade A Logs to the Woodworker's Keys. As well as Kindling, and the few items that pop up occasionally when Lumberjacking. (Can't think of all their names at the moment, but I'm sure someone knows what I'm talking about.)

4) Add Tinker Tool Kit to the [exex. On adverage I see about 5 people a day asking in Global... "Where can I buy Tinker Tools?"
Also Lockpicks would be another nice addition to the tools list.

5) A Gump Feature added to the Player Vendors where you click the button, and it gives you a list of WHAT sold and WHEN. (NOT WHO. It is clear from the Player Vendor Poll/Discussion that the WHO feature is unwanted by the majority of the shard.) Make it so the list can be viewed without being cleared (until the CLEAR DATA button is pushed). This would give Vendor Sellers a good reference as to the amount a certain item sells within a week or a month... etc. Making it easier to restock the proper items in the proper amounts to maximize the vendor's selling popential.

6) Adjust the Pet Summoning Ball to be able to summon a Pet from within one's Bank. This would create a MAJOR increase to the worth and value of the Pet Summon Balls, and maybe even Translocation Powder.



LASTLY Please BEFORE you POST A REPLY. Remember this. If NONE, ONE, or ALL of these changes where added, refused, denied, or altered to fit the desires of the Staff, I would be EQUALLY as happy with this Shard as I am Today.
Keep up the great works Staff, and Thank you for giving Long-Time UO Junkies, such as myslef, an option even better (IMO) than OSI could ever hope to do. And Thank you for allowing us this forum where we can Vent, Dream, and Discuss changes to the 'baby' you hold so dear.

id like too see all of those be implented plus 1 from own list

give lightning strike the sound its supposed to have ( has no sound atm)

[+Nyx]

I'd vote yes on all of those requests. I wish V or I were able to do these changes/additions ourselves, but alas! It's entirely up to Colibri. He's seemed to have a bit more time for scripting lately so perhaps we'll see these suggestions implemented at some point

[Evadad]

Good ideas. Here's one of mine

I'd like to see some of the other trade skills become more viable, here's a way it could happen:
BoDs for some of the lesser used skills/vendors - Fishing, Cooking, Healer, etc...
I understand this one may be tough, especially figuring out rewards for some of em...
but it'd be great if I got a healer bod that let me turn in x bandaids and x healing potions to get x soaked bandages

[anarchy]

take note people. THIS is how to properly make a request post. i love the ideas minus the account bound thinking, as it hurts the economy.

[zeukaul]

Unless there is a reason for this...id like to see scales on the exex as well.

[Jecks]

Great ideas.

I'd love to see the items to summon Peerless on this set as well...I know that it would remove at least 2 boxes of items from my house...Also you could put a timer on when you can turn in a new Gem...I donno about other people but I have 2 full sets of GOC items ready to go and knowing when I can turn them in would be awesome...

Would be great to see guildstones be able to have a Co-GM...be able to do everything except move the stone maybe. Im sure this would help many guilds out.

[Melkor]

Please make it so you can turn Imp Dog Morphing off. Thanks

This would be awesome. OMH and I created a guild together, but I cant do anything hehe. Id love to see that option. It'd way to much effort to do something like allowing different ranks to do different things, but co-gms should be able to do the same things
