Name one feature from another MMO(not SP game) you would lik

Post » Wed Jan 23, 2013 11:09 pm

I'm sure that many of us that have played MMO's have missed a certain feature from another MMO that isn't in your current MMO.

I am an old EQ1 vet and if their was one feature i loved in that MMO it was being able to drop any non binded/quest item on the ground. If you were out in the wilderness and you were carrying to much you could hide items and then come back for them once you had been to the merchant. You could also find items that other players had tried to hide and pick them up lol.


I know you have this feature in TES but we are strictly talking MMOs in this topic.

City of Heroes (Before they changed this feature and killed it): Max level gear being droppable from any max level activity.

I am not really a raider, but I do like to min/max and I would appreciate being able to do so without being forced into an activity that I dislike. I think this would actually also encourage more people to raid because not only would you have an easier time getting the gear to help you participate, but it would take away the "You caused a wipe and lost me x piece of gear tonight so I am not allowing you to raid with me again" attitude which is what puts a lot of people off raiding in the first place.

Basically this would involve any level 50 enemy (Assuming 50 is the cap) having a chance to drop any level 50 item, but an organised raid would give you a guaranteed amount of drops, so you could raid if you needed something specific, or wanted to gear up quickly, but if you never raided you wouldn't get left behind assuming you still played your max level character enough.

An addition which would make this better would be to have gear be statless (Aside from quality so Daedric &--#62; Steel) and have the boosts that you get based entirely on transferable items. IE: The raid drop is an enchantment that gives a weapon a certain property (Such as fire damage) which you can put on any item you own, rather than getting a fire sword. This way I could keep whichever weapon/armor I liked the look of, do whatever activity I enjoyed the most and still not feel like I am missing out on anything.

The ability to dye your armor (like GW2)
The ability to transmogrify pieces of armor to make them look like something else (like WoW)

And obviously I would love to see them implement player housing at some point in the future.

Given that they have said something about future housing plans already, my vote is for a LotRO style music system.

player crafted gear being the best gear available. Crafting in most mmo's is just down right pointless. Raiding becomes a mind numbing experience after you do it x amount of times. If the point of eso is the battle for the center of the map, i'd rather get to it as soon as possible rather than hacking on an oversized blob of pixels for gear I MUST have or be at a disadvantage. But since raiding in still fashionable, bashing a monster that is to big to get into an area they are found in is the way it must be.

High end gear from crafting, which isn't soul/accountbound. Actually nothing of it should be soul/accountbound. (GW2) So leveling several crafting professions just for the one good piece isn't necessary, since you can just buy it from someone else.

Also: NO achievementsystem.

Although not the best MMO in the world, I think the Warhammer Online trophy system was really neat.
For those that don't know much about it, check this quick; http://ageofreckoning.warhammeronline.com/article/Trophy-System.
It's cool, lets you show off without too much flash, but still allows for some more unique looking gear.
I hope they do something like this, but I doubt it.

Aye, titles are the best, in my opinion WoW done this very well. (Oh whoa did he just say WoW AND compliment it?!?).

As long as they don't cave in like SWtoR and let everyone have the same titles. The whining because Sith Warriors never got to be called Darth was amazing, and the devs caved and gave them the title, even though the storyline means they never get to be a Darth ...

The only addition I have to that, is that I would like to see NPC's react to title, so people would be scared of "Bugs Bunny, The Killer", but be really friendly towards "Bugs Bunny, The Philanthropic".

Small customization options for your gear. Like adding engravings or small adornments to armor or choosing your left and right pauldron, changing color.

Kind of an old and forgotten feature in MMOs: dropping some of the gear you wear/your backpack when you die so that your enemies in pvp/some random people who happens to be near where you died to a mob can loot your corpse. That would actually make any modern MMO much more interesting. Might not work in dungeons/raids but they are instanced and it could be changed inside them.

Realm Levels w/ ability rewards (no gear rewards), from DAoC.

That is the singluar feature that matters most to me.

Not sure if in another game, but as stardark stated, "overall npc reactions" is what i'd like to see...

Either to the title, the sword u have, the helm u have, your actions, etc, that would be amazing.

"Name one feature from another MMO(not SP game) you would like to see in TESO"

I could see the developers designing the entire game from this statement.
