Could I ask why now? And read the forum for the suggestions? Because I think everything we suggestions is neco currently adding/editing in his verison so there's not much you can do now..? |

Make sure there are no game-breaking bugs and make your versions complete, quality >>>>> quantity. Spend time on your versions.

1) It's fun to edit
2) Mac compatibility
3) I want an opensource island defense
>Make sure there are no game-breaking bugs
Easier said than done.

What I want to see?
-Mid shops back, including tomes.
-Some old terrain.
-More people on forums, advertising the forums should be simple enough. A larger community will keep this place running longer and there'll be more opinions to be heard.
-Less seeds, seriously though... why are there so many seeds?
there are more changes that I can think of, but these are the ones more important to me.

Don't think about content.
Perfect the terrain properly.
test newly added content properly.

Fuck the middle shops. Buying out all the items so the titan couldn't do shit was retarded back then and will be equally as retarded now. I can see wanting to buy tomes but I don't think it's worth nerfing the Titan like that. If you want to add back tomes, perhaps create a 5th shop with tomes of health/power or add them to the secret shop(wherever the fuck it's going to be).
Less seeds. For the love of god less seeds.
The problem with testing content properly is that most of it is left up to the beta testers which either usually do nothing (moi) or dick around for 5 minutes and then say it's OK.
Don't start the Quality/Quantity shit. In a perfect world a new version would be released each month with bug fixes and possibly new content. This is a sad, broken, fucked up world. Don't have high expectations for updates.
Forum advertising would be very nice... having the same people talking over and over again is getting a little boring. At the same time... we'll probably get more smighters and chocobos...

These are done for me, this is based off of Darox's version.
>More people on forums, advertising the forums should be simple enough. A larger community will keep this place running longer and there'll be more opinions to be heard.
Will do.

>health tomes
I'm thinking of a way to fix this. In my opinion, buying things in the middle should be restricted to the Titan anyways, as it is the Titan's home, and he (or his minions) probably built the shops. However, the core items (WotW, TP Staff, Tomes, etc) should still be available.
* Put them at the store with Yacopo (or right next to him)?
* Add in a vendor somewhere on the map?

That would be good. You could add something like smygarn's way on the water. So it's more traped and a way more risky to buy them. |

i believe panda only disabled vision of the middle shops to
-stop builders from buying items for the titan. (not because you could buy one and then hide it so the titan would have to wait a while for it to restock cause the cooldowns are relatively short.)
-put the titans at a disadvantage because you knew what they were buying, for example if demo buys a windcatcher, the other builders would know. (which did add more skill to the game)
-also discouraged lumber basing because you could always just gold, and buy items to sell for lumber. (which i liked, even though its not fair)
-health tomes.
how bout tomes, and an increased restock time on stuff people can sell? if the shop was at some far away location, i doubt i'd ever use it. unless I was going there for an egg item, it wouldn't be worth the trouble.

There are plenty of locations you can strap the secret shop to. Not being near mid is an assumed guarrante since we have had it at a far corner for the majority of time the game has been official (becoming a sort of unwritten rule). Im helping Neco upgrade the terrain to his map which I will continue when I get back home later tomorrow, and im set to complete it by friday... or saturday at most. One detail I am sure everyone must have noticed after playing Neco's 3.0.8 is the shape of the map. Since we can see the surrounding waters, we now see how freaking square the island looks. I aim to fix that. |

Oh here is something.
Since the map is so much bigger, and lots of it is water, glac's tap is nerfed quite a bit. (Since sometimes it only hits water which doesn't help at all) Make it so that tap only hits a region on land.

Just do what I did, put a seperate builder shop in mid and it's done, and you can have seperate prices for everything.

That strategy of buying up the items to deny the titan access to them was rarely used. Only used in high level inhouses really. Seeing as how those don't exist anymore I think shop should be moved back to da mid |

make one shop for the greedy golding builders, especially HP tomes, with 5 minutes (or longer) cooldown.
Let players qq'ing at each other, distract their attention, eventually get killed by titan.
thx.

Pubs blow, end of story. make like an -EM mode thats default for the titan, and then there can be a normal mode.
Skill level 2 years ago.
