Hey all, just saying if know one responds to this ill sick gwend on em..... hehehehe
I know everyone is psyched up for the new alien oasis part 2. but we really need to take a look at the praticality of these things. Ive set up a few questions. i asked myself will this be fantastic (lives up to all the standards.) or fail (self explanitory) or in between meaning its just ok. Some of these planned updates im reviewing might not be in part 2. I am aware that this could go in suggestions and feedback, but seeing as im asking for your opinions, and i want more people to see this. But Devs, if u think this thread belongs in suggestions and feedback, go ahead and delete it. Its ok i copied and pasted it into word so its there. I realize that the devs have a lot of stuff to deal with, im just putting this here for the opinion of the community. I love Obs idea about betting on PvP heres the link.

IM not suggesting anything, just putting the suggestions of all the people who suggested stuff in a nutshell. Feel free to move this is into the category you wish devs
1. Pets- To be honest, i cant really review this, seeing as we have so little knowledge pertaining to the subject, but anyway. I think pets will be average. I think the pros are that it adds a little customization to the game, and maybe some balance. I would love for pets to have lvls, and to be difficult to lvl, seeing as alot of people will get a little tired with farming in Part 2. I think that having a death to kill pet ratio would be nice. Maybe pet fighting. I like the idea of having not just 3 pets, but a whole range of them. The cons.... Kinda like PvP. It was extremely anticipated, and look what happened to it.
2. Customization- I believe- Fantastic. I know the Devs have been thinking hard about this kinda stuff, and i am very excited for it. I know that PL is an mobile app, and it cant have as much customization as the computer MMOs but i think that will be changed. Basically every single paladin in the game has a thoth set. I would appreciate there being different looking armors, seeing as all the mage armour looks the same. There is a thread in suggestions and feedback about how you would get extra stats if you wore a set of items. (Forgot who posted that thread, sorry).
3 Auction Houses- My opinion. Fail. I see this as being a PvP fail type thing. I, being a member of the avengers, know I can count on my guildies to get me a discounted price on whatever item i need, if not free. I believe the auction houses will be useful, just not up to everyones standards. I can imagine the scenario of 2 people who want an item really bad. They exchange prices at the auction house, and...... 1 person ends up paying too much for an item they could have farmed.
4. Dungeons- In between- I like Alien Oasis' dungeon. it adds the challenge of harder bosses into the equation. But one thing I dont like is the amount of pinks dropped. Too many. I liked the Ancient Swamps, when owning a Copperheads Voodoo Doll made me special. Now, eveyone owns at least 1 thoth item. Maybe a little more common than swamp, but less than AO. Now, as for elite dungeons, i love this idea. I think it would propose a challenge. I think it would be fun to gather (then to be a group of 45's) to fight the bosses there. I couldnt agree more with this idea. I am loving the idea of having obstacles that hurt you. like pendulums or pits or something like that
5. Achievments and Leaderboards- I think fantastic. I would love to see a most kills or deaths category. or richest. or most pvp wins. or possibly pet kill/death thing. Now that would be cool. It would help everyone because of the fact that it gets recognition out there. We maybe shud even have Fame Points.
6. Guilds- official guilds would be awesome. Fantastic. I have had people come up to me and say (these r newbies of course) "Hey im in the avengers, may i have a pink bow for free?" Im never sure if theyre in or not, so this would be great. u could see if theyre in the guild or not. Plus guild fights? Epic. look how the one kingrichie hosted turned out. Congrats King. Maybe the one Con is that unfortunately lots of new people could randomly join a guild and then ask for free stuff. This could either be solved by A. restricting access to guilds till a certain level so we know they will actually play the game or B. It is at the discrition of the guilds as to who they let join.
7. Skills- Fantastic- I know the devs havent really discussed a skill tree, but i love one. that way there is more balance. like fire storm for mage turns into magma blast. or the snow blast turns into icicle stab or somehing like that. I would definetly enjoy this.
Well heres an end to a long thread. I believe the devs work harder here than any other MMO. We love you devs. and if you notice something i have not addressed i will put it in pronto.
