Letter for Playa Games :)

[Shnitel]

Hello people !

I hope this message will be seen by all the players of S&F and try to do something big for us and convince Playa that communication is the key of success !
Because I didn't post in a while and I was "lurkin" in the shadow, seeking the best for this game, here is what I can suggest and bring back from older posts, lets create a conversation here, not just watchin the thread and go away, let's do something for us this time, something bigger that will make Playa understand some things !

I'm gonna start with the ideas of some players with direct links that need to be brought back to the light from the archives :

Now, I will start with my old ideas before I will bring something new :

New achievements to have 100 in total and help new players with some of them and beside helping them, for me, I was having a lot of fun gathering them here are some old examples and some new, I guess :

1. Fighter - Win x duels lifetime (from the old medal)
2. Stingy or Big Collector - Collect x gold lifetime (from the old medal)
3. Guardian of the City - Work x hours as a city guard (from the old medal)
4. Missionary - Complete x quests (from the old medal)
5. True Rider - Ride the same mount for x days
6. A point and click game - Reach x clicks in-game ( counted only on clickable things )
7. Insomnia - Do all your quests on night ( this means only the first bar, without adding shrooms )
8. Drunk man - Spend x beers lifetime
9. Roulette Player - Win every prize at Abawuwu`s place
10. No Lifer - Spend x hours in quests
11. Day Off - Don`t make any quests for 1 day
12. Philosopher - Collect x amount of XP lifetime
13. Don`t have a cat, have a lion ! - Upgrade x pets to level 100 or 200
14. Potion addicted - Have, at least, one same potion for x days
15. An impatient man - Spend x quicksand glasses
16. Discipline - Spend x gold on stats
17. Look, they float ! - Collect the floating crystal x days in a row ( to give them a purpose )
18. Time-Traveler or Back In Time - Defeat x dungeons from Timeline Dungeons
19. Somethin don`t smell good - Reach level x at the toilet
20. Vendor - Sell x items
21. PostMan - Send x messages lifetime to different players
22. Collect'Em All, fo' real - Collect all 99 previous achievements
23. Loser - Lose x battles ( counted from guild fights/defences, fortress attacks/defences, arenas, guild/personal portal, pets, dungeons )
24. The Recycler - Dismantle x items at the blacksmith
25. You really love upgrading, right ? - Do x upgrades to your items
26. The Clearer or Explorer - Defeat x dungeons (from the old medal, kind of)
27. Lumberjack - Collect x amount of wood
28. You rock ! - Collect x amount of stone
29. Cross Dresser - Play the same toon for x days as a male or x days as a female
From 30 to 40, any achievement that can fit "The Heaven - Guild Fortress".

City Guard
This is something new that Nirz brought and its interesting :
-Beside the gold that we receive, for an hour we can receive 0.5/1 stat point. But i want to improve his idea with the chance to choose what stat we want to receive

Companions
I think they need something, they are our only friends in this game...
- Adding The Assassin and The BattleMage to the "trio"
- A new dungeon in the shadow world only for them
- "I believe it would be very good to be able to enchant (via the witch etc) the gear meant for your companions. While your own class companion benefits from those, it is impossible to enchant the gear for other classes (especially true for those originating from tower / dungeons, not 100% about the toilet)." ( Thx hexblot! )

Fortress
This will be a short one :
- "i think the whole fortress pvp system needs an overhaul though" ( Thx GeorgeKen! )

Pets
Again about the pets ? Aaa.. Yes ?
- "pets should have separated cooldown time from dungeons as its a total separate thing" ( Thx steve007! ) And yes, this is still a thing for new players
- Adding 5 new pets for each race, but this aren't normal pets like the others, this pets will help us in all the fights, how ? Let's take an example from Shadow, Poisnake, we can add him in a special slot and every x attacks, crits, dodges or whatever, he will poison the enemy with x dmg on the attack or overtime, and this is just an example, every pet from each race, a new one as I was mentioning, will bring something new, like stun, poison, powerup to our toon etc

Gold limit
Short-Long story, get rid of the gold cap, just do it, it is annoying.

Now, beside the pet idea that I mentioned and is new, here are the big ones :

Adding items to the monsters
What is this and why we need this ? Well, until we will have more active players on our servers, is kinda impossible to find some items, so we should find them from the monsters, as they have weapons sometimes, they could hold items as well, but we are not supposed to see them just for lowering the memory space. But how we will know if we gonna "catch them all?" I was thinking about this, is kinda strange, but getting a system where the npc knows what items you have and what level do you have, he will be equipped automatically with them, to be more clear, what is next in your scrapbook, depending on what type of monster it is (mage, war, archer etc ). I hope I made my idea clear, if you still have question about this, don't be shy, ask !

Fast Thirst
This is a really strange one, I will try to cover everything so lets say like this, give us the option to see all the mission that we can do in 100 thirst and we will choose from the list the ones that we want, after we select all of them, we press the start button and the thirst will be done in 100 minutes, but we don't need anymore to stay and click for each mission, it will be like the city guard, we will wait that the timer ends and at the end, we will gather all the items, gold, xp, 'shrooms etc. Is like the time machine, but we will have the option what we can choose, like giving us a list with the groceries, we select the ones we want, you get to buy them, and after you come back after 100 minutes, we will see what we've got, if you've done your job right or nah. I really hope this one is clear enough, because is a tricky one, but will help us a lot in my opinion, as some players don't have time to way for each mission to end and start a new one.

International Threat
What is that lurking in the shadow ? Is a big ugly monster that wanna destroy the S&F world ! How can we defeat him ? Well, gather all the guilds from the International HoF and fight with him. Hmm, interesting, but what we gonna get ? It depends, this will need a dmg panel, where, depending on what dmg that guild does, at the end of the battle, will receive something back, like gold, xp, 'shrooms or whatever. I think, this will be something fun, it will be once per month and will last 1 days or whatever the devs think is good.

I think this is everything at the moment, if I will remember anything, I will do a new post in this thread, not gonna write it here, because people will miss it.

I understand that you want to do something other than a normal suggestion thread, but don't think I realy understood what it is that you want.

From the list of suggestions that you brought back up I find some very interessting. For me as a longtime, highlevel player that completed almost everything it gets more and more boring and anoying to spend so much time doing quests and the few dungeons I have left open are not the thing that keeps me at it (aspecially because they need the one big luckshot anyway).
The thing that realy keeps me at playing the game is my guild, but with each longtime companion leaving the game, I leave it a little bit more myself.

For me it's therefore key that Playa does at least one of two types of upgrades in the course of the next months. Type 1: a guild update that strenghtens the guild cohesion, or Type 2: an update that further lowers the timeinvestment to play 300 Thirst.

Hourglasses was a good first step, but for now I can only save them for days I could not play otherwise, meaning we need more of them. A suggestion that were given at the german forum some time ago was to give players a good package of them when buying shrooms, e.g. you get 300-3000 with the 3000 shrooms package. I guess that this would be a promising idea to consider for Playa.

Your idea named Fast Thirst goes in this direction, but seems a little bit extrem from my perspective and not like something that would realy be considered.
