I have no idea if you can do this but just in case here are some ideas!



1) Rares can be BestInSlot, discussed in this thread.

2) Castle as an account progression tool

Upgrading castle allows you to increase gold cap and makes other buildings upgradable upgrading castle needs gold and certain materials (i'll go into this later). Your castle also has several buildings:
-bank (same like now, but with tabs and upgrades increase gold earned)
-storage (stores your materials, can be upgraded)
-crafting station (allows for creation of artifacts-they are a crafted only item that goes into a special slot)
-barracks (gives you tiny all dmg buff)
-academy (increases rewards from dailies and weeklies)
-auction house (upgrading increases amount of items you can list)


This game really lacks a sense of progression and direction, i feel like a homeless adventurer that for some reason is killing demons

3) Dailies and weeklies

Make several dungeonlike maps like the last two in act4, make say 20 different ones. Now make server give everyone same/different 3 randomly picked dailies every day. Same with weeklies, but buff the mobs and rewards.

4) Resource gathering

When going to gather, you basically enter a map which has a double lower chance for all items! How do we make mining in a game that only has killing mobs? Make an ore mob! You kill mobs until you get to an ore, kill it, get materials. You can also add that after killing an ore you get ambushed for more fun

5) Crafting artifacts

Same as upgrading gear but a bit different, make a bit fancier effect when crafting, make it have chance to fail, failing doesn't destroy or anything but just wastes resources. Crafting needs gold and materials. The materials are both rare items dropped from bosses and items from mining/woodcutting/etc. Every class has 1 artifact for themselves. This feature isn't suppose to be customization but linear progress and reason to keep playing.

Awesome ideas. I want to kill an ore monster for sure.

Heh, i was at first thinking off how to add an easy but not mind numbing ore extraction profession but then realized it can be done so easily lol


In case you can implement all these ideas, i bet the game can get lots of fans from casuals and hardcorers, but i think the biggest issue is currently... this




And the inventory and stats interfaces could be done to be a bit smaller or have configurable size, just to appeal to more people.
Thank you for reading and considering by the way! ^^

What are you referencing exactly? The black empty space? Nevergrind has a fixed width of 1280 pixels. I don't see how I can avoid not having black emptiness outside of it. I could put some babes in bikins over there, I guess.

Oh i see, no problem if it can't be fixed, just slight annoyance!

I could make it a really soothing gradient. Euphoric even.

NO thanks i like it how it is xD

Best idea yet.

By the power of my breasts I compel you to buy crystals, NOW!


Well i felt pretty weird searching for boobs on google now with an open window..

Is that a real Evony ad? No wonder they make more money than me.

Just search evony ad, there are worse!

So I google image searched 'bikini' and 'crystal'. A very distracting five minutes that quickly veered off into NSFW territory. perhaps that border should be left blank afterall. I would die too much getting distracted.

I joked with my Dad quite a bit that my game will never make real revenue until I start promoting my game with cleavage. He never shuts up about Game of War and how he sees it absolutely everywhere.

How did my suggestion thread turn into boobs o_O

Boob is life.

Classy.

At the risk of being a party pooper, you really wanna alienate half your potential market?

Female detected!

Eh, not really, females aren't scared of their sexuality, it's the guys who have a problem with hot guys on screen. See league of legends for example, almost every female champion is a sex goddess while almost every male champion is either a monster, ugly or cool. If there was a hot dude in boxers i feel like half the players would riot (lolpun). But seeing naked boobs and females defying laws of physics with crazy spines is fine for some reason.. Like the only sexy male in the game is pool party graves i think.


Ps, i wouldn't mind if you delete all boob related posts here after we are done,we got way off topic xD

My wife only thinks I look sexy when I clean the shower without asking.

Backing Suvana on this one!

To get back on topic a little ...

Your artifact idea is similar to one I had to craft/quest for a class epic. The quest would unlock after you defeated Hell Nalatos (or perhaps earlier) and it would involve collecting things from various bosses/specific hidden mobs in various zones to give you some reason to go back and visit them after you'd beaten the game. The items wouldn't have 100% drop chances and it would be a pretty large undertaking but at the end of it you get basically a Best in Slot for whatever slot it would end up being, historically from EQ, weapons.
