Collection of suggestions

Okay guys, I think you are doing a GREAT job, and really excited about the new dedicated server, hello to you all, I've been playing here for about 2 weeks now, and quite hardcore while so, but wanted to voice some ideas of improvements that can be had, so I've segmented them here-

- Removal of the event based system specifically Alterac Valley system and instances every 1 hour system and reasons why

Unlike perhaps some of my other suggestions I think that many agree with me that this restriction to going to only alterac valley every so often is proving to be not promotion of people playing alterac valley, but only hinderance of things they want to do, for example, I need nothing from AV, I want to do something else, isle of quel'danas dailies, instances, hyjal, all the usually available things, but all I can do is AV, I do one of two things
1) am insanely bored and have nothing better to do and am highly addicted so I go to play alterac valley, to find in reality there's not any going.
2) I log off or idle in the Mall annoyed with the fact I can't do anything else
Now, it's easy to see that making it restrictive only brings negatives, I think that more suitable would be to have everything availalble at all times, and perhaps have specific events available at only certain times, but not rendering the rest unable to be done, this goes for the instances aswell.



- Adding of more teleport locations and promotion of other zones than the battlemters and Mall, i.e Shattrath and Capipital Citys

I think this just makes everyonesives easisier and makes them more willing to play through all elements of the game than just what is available from the mall, heck why not utilize that which is already mostly scripted right?
I think that in terms of improving the player base it's quite an important thing to encourage more variety of things to do, this goes for my point above aswell.

-Items and enchants to the vendors (List)
I've compiled a list of items and their appropriate IDs for the vendors that I feel kinda "should" be there.(Will remember more over time and add them here)

Alchemy recipes Vendor/reagents:

Flask of Relentless Assault - item=22854

Enchantments Vendor

Shield +12 resilience - item=38949

15 agility on gloves - item=38890

Bracers Assault - spell=34002 (can't find item id but unsure if you can do anything with that)

Aldor enchants aswell as scryer


Donor vendor -

Aegis of angelic fortune - item=34231

Hard khorium band - item=34361

Loop of forged power - item=34362

Ring of flowing life - item=34363

Crux of the apocalypse - item=34329

Golden staff of the sin'dorei - item=34337

Hand of the deciever - item=m=34331

Hammer of Sanctification - itetem=34335

Murumasa - item=34214

Fletcher's gloves of the Phoenix - - item=35213

Gloves of the immortal dusk - item=34370

Hands of eternal light - item=34367

Leather Gauntlets of the Sun - item=34372

Sun-Drenched Scale Gloves - item=34376

Sunfire Handwraps - item=34366

Ring of Hardened Resolve - item=34213

Ring of Omnipotence - item=34213

Tattered Cape of Antonidas - item=34242

Cloak of Unforgivable Sin - item=34241

With regards to the items, am sure they've been thought over, but there are just some inconsistancies that don't seem to make sense

Sorry for the insanely large wall of text but hope you at least read the ideas and take them into account, and hope those not making the final decisions can post their opinion to see if some of these things are only me, and to be put short I am not all talk and expecting you to do everything, I am very fluent in both C++ which I presume is relevant to the server but also Java scripts and would be happy to help with things along the way at least for the moment while I can't apply to do it full-time.

Good thinking... But, all the enchants you listed are enchant scrolls which were added in WOTLK. We are on 2.4.3.

Good job for stepping up and posting this. I wish a lot more players would do the same and post their opinion.

A few things that I would like to add are the we will not add enchants that are not items. I think the bracer assault is one of them. We cannot add them since they are spells and not items. Also, some of the items mentioned to be added to the donor mall are not in the vendors simply because they are looted from the bosses of Scarlet Citadel, our custom instance.

Welcome to our community and I hope that you would stay here and enhance it.

Thank you again for your suggestion.

Add a recipes vendor + enchant mats vendor with the recipes / mats required for them, for the ones without a scroll of course and setup an enchanting quest to max enchanting just like the Firstaid one.

However some of the items that drop in SC also are available on the donor mall, and some aren't available in SC or the donor mall, some items of equal level I.e apolyon being on the donor mall seems inconsistant that Crux of the apocalypse for example isn't.

Also can someone move this to suggestion forum, mistake of mine :S

I'd like to also thank you for taking the time to post all these, and in response to your idea on removing the limitations on the BG's and other events throughout the day...

Henry set that up because throughout the servers life time we have only been able to support 50-80 people at a time without much lag. With only that many people it was necessary to "funnel" the people online to only a few things so that there would be enough people doing it in order for it to be fun. It was also to promote arena because it was always available.

However, with our new dedicated server close to being 100% up and running we are going to be experimenting with the limitations on the events and maybe get to allowing all of them to be available 100% of the time.

Thanks so much for your input, I hope I helped a little :P
