Hello, I've been playing this game for about a week now, and I think it lacks lots of functions we could really use. I'm listing here the most important ones (in my opinion) - apologies if some of them have already been suggested in the past. (If they have, why have they not been implemented yet?!!)
1) Editing your character's controls
I have not found a way to do that yet. Talking to NPCs instead of charging a spell, then getting zerged in the background by mobs, has started to get REALLY frustrating. Interacting with NPCs and charging a spell/skill should NOT share the same button.
2) Resetting your character's stats
I have not found a way to do that yet either. Rushing as a new player into fights and getting tons of deaths, then realizing the stats are counted and shown on your profile, is annoying as hell. There should be an option to reset the stats - one that will cost a few platinum coins. If not for platinum, then there should be an option for new players to reset their stats for free (Characters that are up to a specified amount of days old, or up to a specified level). Having lots of deaths personally bothers me alot - and I refuse to hide my stats, cause that makes it look even worse. Or you could at least make the low level monster kills that don't give you any experience points count. Oh and a monthly auto stat reset for everyone would be great. So everyone can be on the leaderboard.
3) Switching between tabs/windows
Whenever I switch tabs in my browser or minimize it to chat on facebook for example, my game starts loading all over again as if I had just opened the tab, taking me to the login screen. This is really boring sometimes, it does not always happen though(it does most of the time). I'm not sure what's causing it yet. If it's an anti-afking system, know that it is REALLY annoying to many.
4) Numbers in character names
It took me over an hour to find a good name for my character as all of them were taken. I also couldn't use any numbers in it. Why is that? I was about to quit because of this, and so was my brother. I don't like using random names because everything is taken, and I'm sure many others also don't, and have probably quit by now.
5) Spells' attack range
There should be a way to measure the distance between you and a monster so you can know when you should use a spell. Also, some of the enemies' spells or skills have a crazy attack distance. Last time I was waiting for my health to recharge, one of my party members who was outside of my field of view had some monster throw knives at him, which knives missed him, ended up hitting me from a mile away and killed me with a critical, as my health was low - really annoying. Oh and they also shoot you through objects.
6) Monsters marked with a red skull above them
I'm not even sure what these are, but I had one kill me at level 16 with two hits. I was with 2 other level 15-16 players, and we all died without even damaging that thing! Perhaps with potions and some running we would survive, but there was no way to take that thing down, it's defence was so high that it would regenerate health faster than we could damage it...
7) Entering areas alone
Entering an area by yourself is impossible, people always come, even if you're not in a party with them. This is bad. There should be an option for you to enter an area by yourself, to play solo. Because there's these annoying rushers that will kill all the monsters in the map before you get to approach them, or rush to the boss, skip half the areas, and if you don't follow them, you miss the loot. If you do, you miss your quests, you get no exp, you can even get yourself killed because the troll barbarians will lure a zerg to your mage and expect you to tank it. Some of them even quit right before the boss or while fighting it, leaving u alone to die.
8) Dying upon connection loss.
My connection went down twice earlier and I died both times... that's annoying, it should kick you out instantly upon getting disconnected... and don't tell me that players are gonna close their browsers and abuse it - You can make it kick players upon connection loss and not upon game window closure. So the only way to abuse that would be turning your router off or pulling off the cable. Take r.scape as an example.
9) Solo PvP
This is just as annoying as playing l.o.legends when you have a noob in your team - why is there no 1vs1 PvP?
That's all I can think of for now, I'll edit the post once I remember more.
