I think this is one of the few good MMORPG games on the internet with quite good graphics.But I didn't like the monster AI & somethings in gameplay & something is missing in the game.

1. We can have soft backlit in the environment so all the textures will blur a bit & will look smoother as well as model edges will look smoother.
2. Monster AI is really bad cause till u go near them they keep on roaming like dumbf**ks & then they attack.
3. Hunting is not exciting cause u don't feel like u are chopping these monsters down cause u single click on the monsters & then comes ur own character AI which finishes the monster.So we can change it into random click of mouse to kill the monster like shooting in FPS game.
4. Chatting is confusing cause there is only one button to shift through diffrent chat options.We can have whtever chat windows seperatly but combined in one window so once u shift to party window or wispher window u don't get irritated by general chat.
5. The camera can be locked behind the character so when user will move the mouse character will change the direction for tht we can have auto run key.when user wants to stop & look around he can press the same auto run key again & right click to go on curser mode & keep middle pressed down moving the mouse.User shld be able to shift between the curser mode & crosshair mode by right click.

Yeah there are other things also which I forgot to mention in previous post.

1. Why do u restric user in character choosing?
2. Why Archer & Mage are females & Warrior & HolyKnight are male?
3. Why can't u give freedom to user to choose his/her character sex as well as its profession.

To make character selection more exciting what we can do is creat one character creation interface where user will have all kinda option like
1. Character sex : M / F
2. Character Profession : Warrior / HolyKnight / Archer / Mage
3. Character Body Type : Fat / Slim / & so on
4. Character Height : For male it can start from 5.6' to 7'
For females 4.5' to 6'
This Height can be controled by a slider.
5. Character Face Type which includes its ear, nose, eyes type.
6. Chracter Hair styles.
7. Character Hair, Skin, Eye colours.

And noone can say this is impossible cause this kinda stuff really exist in other MMORPG games which makes each character look diffrent.
I wld like to get feedback on this topic.
Archis

I agree with ur ideas man. It coould be nice if we had those.

btw the fourth option in ur first post--I think there's three tile window for the chat, u can set the options for them like. if u want only party chart set the option for any one tile. u cn set that my clicking the ! icon in bottom let of th chat window. Hope I am right

1. Over haul the controls
2. Introduce EPIC quests, ones that make sense with the STORY of hellmarsh.

Here's a good epic quest!!(Needs a party of 4 or more at least. Called a cooperative mission) NOT A SPECIAL QUEST!!!

A trading Party is making its way from Quanato to Temoz.
Primary quest : 2 mill XP
a) Protect the Trading party @ all costs so that it reaches Temoz safely.
b) Repair Radyans Staff. One of the Traders carries the legendary Radyan's staff now broken into two. In fairmode, you will come across a ruined Chapel of Woe(there's some run down broken ruins in center of fairmode..really), where the legendary dark minion (Some Boss) guards the Signet of Healing. It's protected by a magical barrier that can be unlocked with a special key. The BOSS will drop the key. (premise, while half the party members take on the BOSS, the remaining stay behind to protect the caravan because entring the Chapel of Woe causes a massive backlash of "guardian" mobs-A collection of R4/C1 mobs that takes on the trading caravan. The CARAVAN HAS TO BE PROTECTED else Primary quest fails.
c) Light the Radyan Beacon : In Wolfreck, the Radyan staff needs to be placed in the Altar within Ruins of Wolfreck(the abandoned town in NE). This will be especially tough as the town is protected by probably 2 bosses and many minions, requiring a COMPLETE PARTY attack. The caravan can be safe here. Once the bosses are destroyed. The altar is clear. The radyan staff is placed and a soft blooming light emerges. All mobs in the surrounding area are instantly destroyed dropping loot for PARTY MEMBERS ONLY.
d) Take caravan to Temoz. Quest completed!!

Dudes..A3 Publishers. The Lore of HELLMARSH is now intertwined in a meaningful quest that makes sense. Jeez, no more Heart of Hautz by killing 1000 mobs !!!!

Peeps Comment plz.

Bravo u All!!!!!!!!
for this wonderful Post

GMs Think about this

It will be great with such Quests and Character options

Why dont introduce these stuff really quickly in A3 before some more of us quit like i am Planning nowadays ( &&%%%$^%$ lag )



Wackyelement (TheNoob)

Man I can come up with TONS of quests like these.
The questing system in A3(interesting ONLY for the first 20 lvls) is really old and went out when Ultima 1 was released(remember that??? 1992ish??)

Sometime back, I got an email from support saying the code is Propriertary to SouthKorean developers Actoz.

My answer? One of my GuildWar buddies had written 2 GW publishers that they needed to see the SKILL of the mobs when they were planning on using it. This info was badly needed to select your own skill sets while "farming"(GW concept of killing massive herds of mobs for exotics).
Know what?? Was implemented in 1 week FLAT!!!!

My point is,(again, I KNOW this is a free game so far..we cant ask 4 everything)...if actoz would heed what EXPERIENCE RPG players are poitning out..they're the winners!!
Basically :
1) A3 needs COMPLETE overhauling of its controls(I CANNOT play A3 anymore after playing GW..the controls there are so appealing.A3 feels like conrtolling a drunk horse in quicksand)
2) The epic quest system. THROW out the kill-mob-and-get-item idea.
3) Character customization.
4) MORE classes Jeez there are hundreds : Assassin, Barbarian, Wizard. Sorcerer, Thief, Necromancer(GOOODD..no RPG is complete without the Necro), Bard, Amazon, Ranger, Mesmer. Within the mage classes you can have strategic classes : Illusionist, Protectionist, DarkMagic Specialist, Conjurer. I can go o
5) MORE BALANCED SKILLS. U NEVER use lower level skills when ur @ a higher level. They're wasted. Try to eke out a balance so that quests u get earlier on can be enhanced.
6) Introduce more towns/outposts. Not like HATREL. Like intermediary trading stations. Increases the depth
7) Maps are TOO Plain and TOO SMALL. I'd rather see a slow march from terrain grounds to Mountains down to the sea rather than teleportation !!! ZAP..from elkenver to Carode???????? Where did the sea disappear to??
Weather effects. Rain/Snow/Greening/Desertification all create the "living breathing world" illusion.
9) Publicize more. 8000 is TOO small ppl for an MMORPG. MMORPG are needed to have over 100,000 peeps. No1 in my office has HEARD of A3. Much less play it. I know its OB, but this is the time when u can get the ball rolling. Ppl will get attracted when they see whats all the rush about
10) Fix Lag with help of ISPs. This shouldve been (1).

Hear ye! Hear ye! Sify and Anipark!! Get ur developers in Actoz to DO something . Your loyalists are screaming to be heard!! LEARN from the GuildWars or WoW team by tie-ups. (DO NOT TALK to EVERQUEST PEEPS..They're worse!!!)
