ok so ermmmm first things first which is something i think should have been tackled a long time ago or at least have had an official response regarding it that helps with player retention &trust somewhat
ok so yall aren’t doing dlc’s anymore which made a LOT of people upset
infact i and all my buddies quit over it for 2 years
specifically because of a battlepass in a damn survival game
i was never that bothered with the shift from dlc to the crom store
i just dont like fomo and i think thats most people
i did buy every dlc for full price at least
i think you as funcom can agree that battle passes weren’t the best decision
however i doubt anyone really cares about ‘‘being the only one to own x content’’
i don’t think any of you (the devs) hate this game or wish to screw people over
so may i pitch a suggestion that could possibly make everyone happy?
- make all old battle passes permanently available with shared progess ofc you cant make new battle passes but new players could grind them out
this way you also dont violate the ‘‘no dlc’’ rule
1.alt either go back on your old dlc rule and gather all battle pass content into age chapter packages and sell them for 10-30$
i think a lot of people will buy it
it also shows you guys actually do listen + would generate a decent amount of revenue on stuff you wasted resources on and wouldn’t sell anyways
(i and many other people would kill for the snake pet skin from the age of sorcery)
alternatively you could list it in the crom store as package for the same value as it was originally
a lot of games are rerunning or making old battle pass content available so i would suggest doing this as it does sell pretty well (for honor ubisoft is a good example)
-
many people seem to dislike the crom store however its obvious you do not wish to budge
perhaps a middle way can be reached perhaps make themed discount packages
(compared to full price items) that way we’d still kinda have dlc’s in some way -
fix the spawns of siptah animals with fixed spawnpoints
coz by god a spawn chance should not be shared and 1% this also applies to the salamanders in the exiled lands which have been bugged for over 3 years now
(yeah 3 years idk why it hasnt been fixed yet) -
expand the exiled lands mayhaps with the rainforest or whatever was supposed to be on the right side of the map potentially you could also add more areas uncharted on the map over time a little bit every time does add up
both for the siptah map and exiled lands i think this would feel very good for most players -
consider adding boats? and maybe doing something with the ocean in siptah or the exiled lands? progamming boats shouldnt take too much time maybe add sea animals or pets too?
-
(a maybe just trying to see if some stuff sticks) consider adding dinosaurs i am aware you as funcom do not wish to be the next ark but the hyborean age did have dinosaurs iirc just a few could be cool could make them rare like dragons
-
perhaps add flying creatures and let people fly? though i have no idea how you’d balance this for pvp so maybe not
-
please add more animals armors decorations etc and possibly even skins like just reskins i would pay for them
-
perhaps make the undead a sorcerer spawns chooseable from either lv 1 (permanent) or max level (temp) that way people would have more chooise over undead pets and i think that’d be cool
(also buff thralls to undead levels if you havent already please) -
add a way for siptah dlc owners to obtain exiled lands pets more easily
(and perhaps for siptah dlc owners within the exiled lands too)
also perhaps let animals be set on a path so they can roam around the base/enclosure -
consider letting people use dlc items offline so this game can live on after service ends eventually or at least promise to implement this at server end
-
perhaps let people dye their hair with the dye station? idk and add more hairstyles? i think that could be neat
-
perhaps something in the future you can do with pet skins is change attack animations and perhaps even size of animals i think that’d be cool
-
closing words
i just made this acc coz i love this game a lot and would like to see it improve more overtime
i think you guys could do a lot with limited dev time and the limitations you work with
including generating a lot of revanue
but hearing out players is very important for this so i’d reccomend better dev to player communication or at the very least hearing people out
im sorry if my thread becomes disliked especially by the devs (coz i love you guys) im just trying to spread positive vibes and ideas!!! bye all
ps ill check the thread out later maybe itll get somewhere
