Well, I just made the mistake of spending time, money and resources on barrels. I feel like a right muppet. The game has been out so long you would think they had bothered to fix the barrel bug, but no. I am extremely unhappy about having filled my factory with crates of control units and power conditioners that are, in effect, junk to me



Wishlist:


Fix the existing items before adding new things to the game?

The bugs seem to be fairly well covered so I will restrict myself to a wishlist.


1) Add better instructions to the description of foods ("eat smugglers delight before taking the spice" "to feed your pet drag the food over it, don't use the radial") so that users understand how it works (rather than complaining that it's broken / has no effect.


2) Separate drugs from food, they are not the same thing and with people using odd naming conventions that many use, users are unclear as to whether to expect a downer or not.


3) Add some form of collecting domesticated meat and domesticated milk from a "farm" or by cultivating an area. Probably a ranger skill?


4) Do a message that shows food consumed, a lá EQ. This means that people become more aware of food (and if I see someone munching something next to me, I can offer them something) and also adds a lot more ambience to eating/drinking in fun (I buy a round of drinks at our local cantina just for fun, hand it round and then ... well, nothing happens. I would think this would also be nice for weddings)


5) Add seafood recipes. We have fish, mollusks and crustaceans and we can't make a decent fish soup? It would nice for these ingredients to have a specific use.


5) an in-gamelocation which offers a bonus for eating/drinking ... could be the cantina or do a new building-type of restaurant for chefs. If you consume your stat food there, you get a 1% bonus to the stat and perhaps 10 minutes added to the timer (to make up for the fact that you are not at your goal). We've long been told to sit down and eat rather than eating on the run! Seriously, this makes for an additional level of socialness in the game as you wander over to the restaurant to have a bite before going out to fight and would (theoretically) chat to other people there at the same time. Personally I would limit this to player cities only to give people more reason to visit them when they are out hunting.

Sadly, that only makes it worse, imho.. they put a new item in game that doesn't work? Why?

Well to be honest I doubt they were looking to add something to the game that didn't work, only goes to show why porting a character to TC would be a good idea then this could have been picked up en masse over there (maybe it was maybe it wasn't I don't know.)



I love the restaurant idea, I'd like to add an idea to it, it would be best to combine this building or this facility to the cantina as it is now and only have the buffs take effect if you spend some time in the cantina, a leisurely meal. It could be possible to add an upgrade to the cantina to make this work (a food bar and more drinks)


While you're there you could get a master musician (sp?) and a master dancer to work some wonders on your mind and get some interaction with some of the more social people in the game in one location.


Just my two creds worth.


When this brandy clears up from my mind I might be more insightful ;-)


Cheers,

I have 11 Experimentation Points -


When I created a couple of foods and drinks, I noticed I was only allowed to use 7 - what is up with that?

bugs: a lot of the bugs that trouble me have been mentioned already, but i guess im just raelly curious about the dodge pudding. why does it have such a short duration? is this intentional?


question for the devs: when you clone, you dont clone with diseases or poisons, and you can be rebuffed by a doctor. however, you no longer have food buffs. additionally, your stomach is still full. the food is still in your stomach, why arent you getting the food buff?


wishlist: i would like to see some kind of higher end content for chefs. maybe, the chef in jabbas palace could give you a miniquest to make a number of interesting deserts or something, and you have to scramble all over getting ingredients and supplies, but if you complete the quest you can get a limited use schematic for a really good food. or, maybe just a new schematic thats really similar to an existing food, it just looks totally different.

I think this is about to the point where we'll move on to pass #2 (basically just collecting all the posts here, combining any similar issues). I'll be starting on that wednesday night. Any other suggestions during this free-for-all, try to get them in before then.


Once we've got a big list, we'll start prioritizing bugs and wishes, and hopefully I'll be able to get some answers to the questions that came up. Thunderheart has stated that new top five issue lists will be asked for soon (for some SOE definition of "soon", probably), let's see if we can have everything ready for him so I can get it in before all the other correspondants.

Just a note, dunno if you've seen Nraas's Ranger version broken down into an outline with colour coding (
which has the side effect of allowing rangers to see that progress is actually being made) but it's very nice.

Ok, last chance. I've got some things to finish up at work (/smack, bad Kriles, forum-surfing on company time), then I'm going to be putting up pass #2 later tonight. That's going to be strictly for prioritizing issues, unless some high-visibility bug shows up that must be added. I'll also be sifting posts from the last few days, just to pick up anything that may have slipped through the cracks.


And Faymar, that's a really nice layout Nraas has, I'll probably swipe it once we get this ironed out a bit.
