Return of Reckoning

Back when Gamesbond was doing a CM discord for feedback (not sure if thats still a thing)

I made a long list of Quality of Life suggestions and im not sure if that got lost after he stepped down or if direction of changes took a new turn.

But from top of my head here are some QoL changes I think would make the game better for player experience without changing the gameplay:

1)Bank items now stack when you click them in from your inventory (liminent, talismans and consumeables especially)

2) Ability to get your crests back from an item you purchased from set vendors but didnt yet equip. Soo many times over the years ive seen in advicechat, twitchstreams and heard from players that they purchased a duplicate item or the wrong sove-set item and they wasted their crests (hotshotgg buying defensive sove pieces and quit )

There are probably many many more but these two changes would improve playerhappiness and doesnt touch on game balance.

Do you have a big QoL suggestion that would affect most of the playerbase possitively, if so drop it below

Honestly, I don't think it would be gamebreaking if players could return sets for a full refund at any time. Considering it costs around 100 gold to fill six items with +23 talismans, I think that would be a reasonable cost for switching sets. It would also allow people to buy lower level sets as they level up and then return them to offset the costs of their next set.

My QoL suggestion:
Allow buffs and pets to persist across zones. (poor WL/SH and Runie/Zealot)

Might be wrong here so feel free to correct me.
Since the game doesn't seem to track who bought/dropped an item (only to whom it's bound), wouldn't this allow for sharing/trading War Crests across characters?

Step 1. Buy Vanquisher Boots on one of your characters with War Crests
Step 2. Mail/Trade it to someone else
Step 3. They refund it for the War Crests you paid.

Few years ago i suggested that talisman containers from lvl 50 to 150 be added to all craft merchants instead of having to buy it from guild merchant only

Functional fortress flags in warcamp

Functional rally call (blue button)

Removal of quitter from sc/city
And
Increase signup-period for city
And
sov items in city bags

Make guild quests alliance quests

Put potion of acclaim among the second rewards of weekly warfront

Bound on acccount crests

Equipping a full set let you purchase "worn set" which would be much cheaper and have identical stats, but it would let us put different dyes/talismans for the fashionhanmer and build diversity.

Streamlining Items:
Conduct a thorough audit of all in-game items to identify those with identical functions but different names. Merge these items into single, consolidated items with clear, recognizable names.

Purple Seed Drops:
Add an achievement that tracks the acquisition of purple seed drops. Once the achievement is unlocked, players should be able to re-buy lost purple seed drops from a specific NPC or through an in-game vendor.

Liniments:
Give liniments the same duration as pies/stews (which brings back my first point, there still will be uniqueness to them as some are not available via liniment ingredients)

Account-Wide Event Rewards:
Implement a system where bigger event rewards are realm/accounts-wide rather than character-specific. This means that once a player completes the event objectives on one character, all characters on that account/realm can claim the rewards - why? Because it's fair for people who are actually socially taking the responsibility and logging to alternative characters to make grouping even possible in times of low population.

A simple solution for that would be to only allow BoP items to be returned.

That would still bump up Gold bag rewards to 200-300 War Crests (trading in all non-gloves/boots Vanq pieces given)
And around 600-800 War Crests for Fort gold bags by trading in Invader pieces.

I agree with the idea of the Purple Seed ''save'' method in principle.
But can it be applied properly?

Surely getting 1 seed should not allow buying as many of those as you want and therefore cultivating 4x of that for free.
This means that there should be a way for the game to check whether or not you still own that seed before letting you rebuy it.
And owning can mean that it's either in your main bag, crafting bag, in either of your Vaults, or being cultivated at that moment. Can the game actually verify that properly?

And even after solving that issue, what happens if you do get lucky and get a duplicate seed normally (from Gunbad). You'd need another achievement to let you rebuy the second seed in case one is lost. Can the game count items gained besides gold for achievements? And even more achievements are needed for each seed up to the 4th owned.

A few that would greatly help new players and old, and get rid of some addons

Heal All, automatically heal all death penalties at healer
Auto Mark the Warband leader with an Icon over head and a different color dot on Minimap
Make all guild quests into alliance quests
Make event cloak merchant realm account based.

Make a dye storage for realm account based.
