Below is the text of a question I sent recently to Right Now :
(Midgard : Prydwen-Excalibur Cluster)
The current CM display bug is a major source of irritation to many players of DAoC at the moment. I know this, you know this. I am therefore disappointed that Camelot Reporter, as usual stuffed to the gills with trivialities, has not bothered to describe the method I sent to you some days ago of how to get at invisible CM items using a 'cashless toon'. Judging by the response when I described this on Freddy's House this is an important way of overcoming this particular annoyance.
I also wonder if you could tell me if GoA or Mythic have any intention of tweaking the following anomalies in the near future. They irritate me, if no-one else.
1. When porting into a house, you begin with the character facing the door. Why? How many people port in and then immediately port out again? Turn the character 180 degrees to save us having to do it all the time.
2. Why is porting through keep doors a matter of clicking the opposite mouse button to the one usually employed for doors?
3. In one patch recently the travel token for return to the Erikstaad Housing Entrance disappeared and has not been replaced. Why?
4. Why, oh, why cannot the travel tokens be given to the npc that sells them, instead of having to waste time finding a CM?
5. The Thane Champion Sword sits far too low on the back and the Valkerie equivalent pokes through any cloak that's worn.
6. WHY do the astrally summoned cloaks a. have all the same skin and b. have a skin identical to the ML9 Feathered Wrap? Surely they can be distinguished in some way?
7. Trophies : (I find these highly annoying)
a. Why do trophies from different animals have exactly the same skin? Even a variation in colour would be easy to do.
b. How come neither the owner, nor anybody else can see the NAME of the trophy, either via a tool-tip or a RClick? It is probably too tedious to re-draw the trophy art to include names (though frankly some of them are very poor art work) but some form of id should not be too hard to implement.
c. How come even the most expensive dwelling has not got enough room to display all the trophies you can collect?
There are others, but that will do to be going on with. Is there any possibility of a proper detailed reply, instead of the usual 'Mythic and GoA are working on it' ?
*****************************************************
Those are just a few of the things I would like to see Mythic change. I wonder if there are others?
If you'd like to post 'em in this thread I'll collect them and send to Right Now as a 'compilation from a variety of players.' Don't get too technical (I want to be able to see what you're getting at), or suggest something that would require major rewriting of the code. Constructive ideas only, please.
I also don't think we need mention spelling or grammar mistakes. These could have been easily dealt with ages ago if they'd wanted to.
Things you've always wanted but were afraid to ask for.
