The One About 'From IMC to You' Episode 2

This is soooo long overdue, but as promised, here's the next batch of feedback given by Mr Pocket about some of your suggestions:

Suggestion: Pet Mercenary Card - Turn a pet to become a petbox again. This is good if you are short in vis and you want to sell your pet to have income or if you are bored with your pet.

IMC Mr Pocket Answer: Unfortunately, pets are not designed like NPCs i.e. (1) Can’t recruit the same type again (2) Can’t remove from system side.

The current condition is programmed very simply for the pet system. In this way, there will not be specific user bugs and issues like what some of the players encounter in their Quests, or Characters.

Suggestion: Recipe Box - Randomly gives you a recipe when opened (much like Andre's or Kaj's boxes or ring boxes)

IMC Mr Pocket Answer: The basic idea concept looks great. However, some recipes can be accepted for the list, while others can’t. The important thing is what will be the recipes in the box as we cannot allowed the very top tier recipes in there yet. Anyway I suggest that you guys discuss and design the contents “recipe box”.

(Hrin's Comments: Ok guys, you know what this means! Start coming up with your recipe box wishlist - BUT remember not to put in the top tier recipes. You can leave me comments here or even start a forum thread to discuss about this and compile the list. And of course, please manage your expectations. Not EVERY suggestion can be accepted as there will likely be things that could cost major imbalance in the game. IMC will know the situation the best so we must faith in their judgement.)

Suggestion: Mailboxes - These mailboxes can be located at most places for convenience, all mailboxes can receive and send. You may receive items when you are at the beach or even on Lava Plateau, any where, it doesn't matter.

IMC Mr Pocket Answer: Yes we’re actually making this MAIL system in GE! I am not sure about when it will be launched exactly but it is already in progress.

Suggestion: Show Vet/Expert/Master levels in the Barracks

IMC Mr Pocket Answer: I brought this issue up to our staff. We’re still in discussion about this.

Suggestion: Baby Back Costume

IMC Mr Pocket Answer: Whenever you make suggestions about costumes, do send me some images at the same time so there we can have some concept of how it should look like.

(Hrin's Comments: Good point. Whenever you guys make suggestions, do remember to include in the image of what you think it should look like. Now, whoever suggested the baby back costume, do send me an image or post the url in the comments section.)

Suggestion: The ability to walk in town for videos.

IMC Mr Pocket Answer: This suggestion has be given before by other users in other GE versions. However, ss this item is just for fun, so it is not on the top priority of items to be developed yet. There is a way to do this in a creative way though - some users use the “cursed stone” items so walk in the town.

X X X X X

Suggestion: New item effects, like Diablo 2. E.g. Great Sword of Armagedon: Atk would be lower than other normal same lvl weapon, but effect: 10% chance to cast Lv.5 Meteor Strikes on hit.

IMC Mr Pocket Answer: That’s an interesting idea… but I think it willl be hard to make it for now. I have brought this issue up to our staffs and we are in discussion.

Suggestion: Raid Boss Killer Announcement on the server. For example : "Novia has been killed by Family Name] Family.

IMC Mr Pocket Answer: We think that good idea that users can let their names be “announced” when they kill boss monsters. We will start making the “Raid Boss Killer Announcement” stuff. But before that, we will need the information below:

1. List of the boss monsters which you want to announce when they’re killed
2. The notice announcement. (Eg. AAA family of BB faction just killed the Novia of the Frozen Tower!)

(Hrin's Comments: Compiled wishlist, please! :D)

X X X X X

Phew ok, that's all for today. A lot to start thinking about and planning already. We are currently very occupied with preparations for V3.5, please bear with us and be patient.

Will someone be so kind as to help us out with the above? :(

hi Hrin,
1st thanks again for this wonderful update.
about this one:
Suggestion: Raid Boss Killer Announcement on the server. For example : "Novia has been killed by Family Name] Family.

I think it would be best to never include this, because when announced, everyone will know the timer for when the boss was killed, taking the mystery of camping and raiding away.

I'll try to see if I can compile something. Looking forward to the Mailbox, Recipe Box & Boss Killed Announcer! XD

Suggestion: Face Change function. It would be nice to be able to change the face of already existing vets/experts/masters/etc. Why should we be forced to create entirely new characters to get the face we want?

Hey hrin, will we be able to send untradable costumes through this mailbox system?

That would be lovely on birthdays. :3
