All but the last list are intended not include the huge improvement projects, but in our opinion these relatively small additions may help to make the game better (and may help it look more polished).  I encourage people to post what they think would be good small additions to the game in the hope that this might help give the devs some ideas:

General Gameplay / Dialogue windows Improvements

   * Allow players to swim along the surface of water without constantly jumping.  Allow player still to be able to use jump if they wish by pressing the jump button.
    * Put fish in the rivers and seas.  Just for eye candy if nothing else.  The rivers look dead.
    * Remove the logout countdown when the character is at an outpost or city. so you dont have to wait 20 seconds.  This is useful for when swapping between chars to see whats on them or in their banks.
    * Decrease the invisible "envelope" size on dead mobs so that targetting becomes easier when a mob is stood on a corpse or when two mob corpses overlap on the ground.
    * Put the "Repair" function as a third tab on the "Show Me Your Wares" window on vendors that allow repairs.  Seems a little pointless to have to cancel the window just to get to the repair function.
    * Put the cost for repairing ALL items beside or near the "Repair All" button.
    * Bring back the original character selection screen background that was in Beta (the one with the Thestran hilltop and the sun rising and falling).  It adds to the experience of already being in the game world.
    * Increase the drawing distance under water.  The FPS is high anyway under there anyway.  A little murkyness and bubbles would add to the immersion, but you should be able to see further considering the water is clear when seen from the shore.
    * Allow chairs and beds to be usable.  Even WoW can pull this off.
    * Allow boats to have storage space, the size of which is dependant on the size of ship.
    * Allow houses and guildhalls to be flagged as outposts so that they give rest xp when logged out in them...mentioned here:  http://forums.station.sony.com/vg/p...?topic_id=24298
    * Tracking for rangers....mentioned here:  http://forums.station.sony.com/vg/p...?topic_id=24518
    * Have the "Release Spirit" dialogue window that appears when you die to tell you the distance and direction to the altar where you'll spawn.  This could be useful when trying to decide whether it will be quicker to run back to your group or await resurrection.

General UI / Bags Improvements

   * Make a bag slot light up when that particular bag window is open, then you know which are on screen.  Helps for situations when the bags all have the same name e.g. Pristine Firegrass Bag.
    * Allow the user options to select how the contents of bags are to be displayed e.g. items listed by name, instead of large icons e.g. if possible allow the display to apply to individual bags.   Basically, its the same idea is already in SWG, they can also list the items by quantity and by name.  I just thought it would be nice to have it in VG too SMILEY<img src=
    * Allow the buff windows shown in the Layout Mode to be resizable (to allow them to be multiple rows instead of one going off the edge of the screen in raids).
    * Adjust the resolution and colouring on the city / area text / diplo buff text that splashes across your screen.  It looks just a little bit low rez, pixelly and unprofessional.
    * Allow the user to change the text colour on "white" text headed resources and other non-aggroable mobs / items.  Then resource names stand out a little better in places like Afrit where there is bright / white colour sand.
    * Allow picked up items to fill bags logically, i.e. filling the main inventory first, then filling the next bag along.  Obviously, the exceptions are items which are supposed to go in dedicated style bags (e.g. harvested items, crafting tools, utilities etc)......suggested by Kalliaros
    * Put markers on the top of the settings on the pet bars for necros so they can see whether the pet is set correctly to guard or guard self etc.

Crafting / Crafting UI / Housing Improvments

   * When setting up your table for crafting, allow right clicking on the utilities in your table list to remove them.  Saves having to scroll up and down trying to find that particular jar of solvent that you ticked earlier, just to untick it.
    * Allow the Utility pouch window to be opened automatically when clicking the button to browse the Crafting Utility Vendor goods.  After all, the inventory bag is opened automatically.
    * Allow the user to "mouse over" icons for each recipe in the "Refining" and "Finishing" sections of the Crafting tab in their Abilities book, so they can see the stats of the finished item.  Much like what can be seen in the "Assembly" section for the Unique armour items (Gorgolok, Ichtahkta and Flordiel)......suggested by code
    * Tidy up Crafting recipe list...suggested by code
    * Allow the purchase of sizable "Mannequins" (either sizable by the player or different "racial" mannequins for sale) for displaying full sets of armour and weapons in houses.  The mannequins would help players set up full sets of armour without having to position each and every item.  Clicking on the mannequin would invoke a setup window (much like a characters adventuring tab) where items can be dropped into the respective slots and thus the mannequin will be clothed in the armour and weapons......suggested by Justarogue here:  http://forums.station.sony.com/vg/ [...] c_id=24216

Socials UI / Group / Raid / PVP Improvements

   * Allow players to add notes against each person in their friends list.  Especially useful when tracking your player crafting suppliers....suggested by Kaobang
    * Include a personal "Waypoint / Points of Interest" list and allow the user created waypoints to be mailed in game (like in SWG)...suggested by code
    * When "Mousing over" group members Health / Endurance and Energy bars, include their location in the tooltip.
    * Allow the letters "LFG" to be appended to a persons name above their heads when they have tagged themselves as so.  Much like "AFK"......suggested by Seevin
    * Allow players the option to enable their guild rank to be shown above their heads instead of other titles, e.g. Bladeknight Roammai (where Bladeknight is their guild rank)...suggested by teviko on here: http://forums.station.sony.com/vg/ [...] c_id=24216
    * Allow players to be given the option in their settings, so that they can manually disable their online status advertisement and whether they can be targeted /targetauto (though they can use /targetauto themselves on items / people they allow it), thus that person appears offline to everyone on their lists, except those in their guild (much like what messenger programs do now)....suggested by Akroma
    * Allow confirmation of whether you wish to be added to someones friends list, put a further option in the settings to disable being added to any lists (stops people being spammed with requests)......suggested by Akroma
    * Allow the possibility that when the ignore feature is used, the players name is removed from the offending players "friends" list.  This would help to stop people from tracking others activities on pvp servers  (then the offending player could not re-add the name to their friends list due to confirmation being required - see above).....suggested by Akroma
    * Allow guilds to own land, Example,  Guild 1 owns Three rivers, for having 20 plus members in it at all times and taking (capture point - a flag, the altar etc)  If the guild owns that land they get 1-5% of all gold being sold (postage, broker tax, mail fees etc)....suggested by Trein

Journal UI Improvements

   * Tidy up the Locations list...suggested by code
    * Quests to be listed by area as well as level.
    * Separate Adventuring, Crafting and Diplomacy quest types in the list.

Abilities UI Improvements

   * More varied unique icons for spells / abilities......suggested by mmuugg
    * Add option in the settings to allow abilities on your hotbars to update to the next level when purchased from the vendor. E.g. Fireball 1 icon on the hotbar is auto updated to Fireball 2 when it is purchased.
    * Put a button in the General and Diplomacys tab to show a /citystatus and /showfactions lists in a separate window from the chat window.  At the moment this can only be displayed in the chat window.

Larger long term items that may take a larger chunk of resources and time to develop:

   * Racial / class specific "Epic" quests which you do throughout your leveling experience, which send you to many cities....mentioned here:  http://forums.station.sony.com/vg/p...d=24489
    * Player owned flying mounts....suggested by Nerlin
    * Mounted Combat....suggested by Nerlin
    * Sea Combat for various group / raid sizes... suggested by Trein  (Btw...whatever happened to that "Kraken" model that Brad said was in game?  hehehe)
    * Fishing....different levels of fishing inc.  individual fishing at the riverside, fishing in a sloop near the coast or on a river, and out to sea (large group fishing with rewards to reflect it).  It could have the hazards mentioned in the Sea Combat section above....suggested by Trein
    * Dynamic repair and item costs based on availability of the facility / items - the more people repair or buy items at a particular vendor, then the higher the prices rise based on the fact that the item is less available.  This is replenished by perhaps crafters delivering quantities of those goods to the supplier location or diplomats effecting the price (either to the particular vendor or to a dedicated npc).  As a side note, maybe later on include a "mini game" whereby a caravan must travel between the city and the vendor location to replenish stocks and players are encouraged to travel with the caravan to protect it from npc attack.....suggested by Trein
    * Rentable player housing - players can be landlords (with an interface to allow setup of the agreement) or tennents......suggested by Trein
    * "Flesh out" the Diplomacy sphere so that its a more enticing sphere to level in.....suggested by Nerlin
    * Introduce voice chat for people without TS / Ventrillo server access......suggested by computertracker
    * Allow Uploadable Guild crests that are shown on cloaks, shields etc (uploaded to station players perhaps?).  Perhaps allow such crests to be displayed as flags on the front of guild members houses, as standards on horses and ships and also ship sails etc.  Perhaps make them only obtainable by guilds who have performed above certain level of service for the land where their guild is based e.g. when the guild collectively earns the rank of "Protectorship of Qalia" (perhaps due to crafters, diplomats and adventurers in that guild all working towards tasks set for them by the ruling body of that land).....suggested by Trein.
    * Allow the placement of vendors / diplomacy hubs / brokers / taskmasters / trainers etc in guildhalls (maybe only after the guild has attained a special rank / status), with npc guards wearing the guild crest (see above for details on the crests)....suggested by Nerlin / Trein
    * Allow rangers to tame different pets (perhaps with different abilities).  Maybe allow them to be stored in the house as a pet.  Also able to be sold on the broker.  Maybe have the possibility to add tailored coats and artificed neck chains to the pet?......suggested by Trein.
    * Bring in campsites and campfires (apparently devs are looking into this one)....mentioned here:  http://forums.station.sony.com/vg/ [...] ic_id=9237
    * Allow guild halls to have "silos" to store harvesting and crafting items such as logs and dusts....suggested by Anomsuth
    * Give players the opportunity to help generate new cities and towns by taking part in the various spheres in that area.  e.g. an area is marked as being the potential site for a town.  Taskmasters and vendors are placed there along with a form of "storage" for finishing items.  The taskmasters hand out tasks for adventuring, diplomacy and crafting and players have to complete the tasks in order to help the area to start being built....suggested by Anomsuth
    * More quests that involve all three spheres.  e.g. goods which are harvested and crafted and are specific in one area and then transported by ship and cart to another...suggested by Anomsuth
    * Allow a greater variety of ships, houses and flying mounts (e.g. dirigibles) to be crafted....suggested by Anomsuth
    * Add quests for the evil factions of telon, Order of the True Blook, Oathbreakers, Cartheon etc turning some of the larger camps into outposts.  This would add a more dynamic element to factions and make each player more unique by virtue of their alliances.....suggested by Naelwyn

Now before anyone starts screaming how theres other pressing higher priority matters, we fully understand this.  Which is why my post is entitled "Future" improvements suggestions
