Hey there, been playing the shard for a little under a month, but have been on others/retail for a longgggggg time.
Had a few suggestions from what I've ran into so far. Most geared towards my own agenda, but would be fun none the less.
-Pet skill points: Grant the ability, or an item (ed/token/gold/whatever) that would allow us to reset the skill points on a pet.
At the moment there are some very high value pets, 2 slot elder ww, etc. The problem being that when you raise them to 50, spend the points, then trade them off the buyer does not know what they are getting. There are also some very clear cut ways to raise a pet that are always used. Reason being is there is no way to reset points to allow for "testing" of different pet builds. Giving us the ability to reset spent points will allow for a larger variety of pet builds (in theory).
-More Necro/Druid Gear: Right now it seems that the main play styles are either Double Axe (PvM)/Mortal Strike weapon (PvP), or Magery(PvP/PvM). Necro, and the other spell casting/combat styles are fun, but left in the wind a bit in most respects. Wither would be the exception for Necro in high spawn areas.
Would love to see some counterparts to Magi or Kas gear for Necro/Druid. Expand upon the "Hallows" Gear or create things like "Lich Lord" or "Forest Lord" set. Could have similar stats to Magi/Kas, but with +ss/healing/whatever, +animal lore/vet/whatever. I.e. Arms of the Hallows = Magi Arm stats, but +25 Spirit Speak (arbitrary number). Other things like Staff of the Hallows = Warlock Staff, but with +20 SS. Could have all the counterparts for the Druid with +ss/animal lore/taming/vet, etc. Lots of things that could be expounded upon with this to bring even more variety into the shard.
*** There are enough items with +Necro. Necro is essentially useless past 120 as the only point of necromancy skill is to combat fizzles on casting vs skill checks. Adding more Spirit Speak items would start to bring Necromancy more in line with the crazy damage Magery can toss out with a lower +eval. I.e. I am sitting at near 240 Spirit Speak, and my Poison Strike (longer cast time than fireball/harm/etc), only does slightly better damage than faster spammed fireballs from a Mage with lower eval unless they are completely drained of stam.
-More stuff in Fel: Love it or hate it, the prospect of PvP gets the heart pounding a little bit. Moving a bit more into fel would help spice things up. Maybe make some the "revamped" classic dungeons Fel only, or have much higher drop rates there.
-Ability to Craft GOOD +skill jewelery or some other use for upping Tinker skill: From what I've seen, Tinker is basically a completely useless skill on this shard. On others, you are able to craft GREAT jewelery with Plat Runic + Plat Ignot + regular Diamonds. Here, you craft horrid jewelery with 280+ skill to use Plat Runic + Plat Ignots + a ton of rare mats. Hell, there is an entire dungeon dedicated to the "Demented Tinker" which drops + tinker gear. Bio pets, which need high tinker, are outclassed since their resist were lowered to 75cap, and there are better pets out there. Just seems like a lot of time, and effort coding these things was wasted with the state Tinker is in right now.
-Basements for Houses: Not sure if this is possible, but who wouldn't want a torture chamber under their house?
-Guild vs Guild Battlegrounds/Tournaments: I think people enjoy PvP on the shard, but it is hard to get people out in decent numbers a lot of the time. Having tournaments with prizes every now and again would get more people into doing things like this.
