Feedback "Community features": What is most important to you? (1)

As quite a few people have requested a poll about which features the community is waiting for most eagerly, I thought I'd simply take the liberty of creating one.
BP seems to be reluctant to do this on their own (and not able to align the potential results with their own "business strategic" reasoning). So, of course, this is likely to not have any impact on actual development priorities.
But I thought it can't really do any harm, neither. If many people participate, maybe they will at least feel an urge to take control and start the next poll themselves . And who knows, maybe they might even take the results into consideration as one of many inputs when prioritising features for future releases...

The thread is a rough translation of this thread in the German forum. I did also have a look at the creative corner (and other threads) of this English forum here in creating it, but I admit I might have missed more great ideas than from the German one. However, most of the latest "hot topics" should be included. If I missed a major one, let me know.

As one can unfortunately only enter a maximum of 10 answer options per poll, I have to create 3 consecutive threads.
Please find the second one here, the third one here.

Those potential "community features" are, in my p.o.v., mainly about more comfort for the interface and gameplay (e.g. hud locking/autoloot/essence toggle), less about new content (e.g. Gnob's offers, moon event maps) or game mechanics (like crafting 2.0) which may require diligent balancing.
"Big" updates like future content expansions, the alchemy system, the new archetype or guild battles and guild halls have been omitted on purpose; this poll is mostly about "quick wins" that would make many people happy with a reasonable effort required, some of which had been promised to us for months!
I also omitted feature requests that have been openly denied/rejected by BP in the past, like those for a trading system or for more slots in the skill bar.

This gets my

​

Well done!

 

I voted everything.
Sorry, can't choose one of them. Too good to leave all for one.
When they can bring so many(stupid) updates in 1 release.
Why not all of these together at once

 

Fantastic Armando! I hope the mods will submit these features by order of priority! They're comprehensive enough to make a true difference.

 

The links provided for the other 2 polls takes me out of the forums, to a browser and I cannot vote on the other 2 sets of polls cause "I am not logged in anymore" feature and there is NO place to log in on the forums in the browser.

But that ALL looks wonderful! I want all the stuff that pertains to PVE material since I am not a fan of PVP.

 

I also happen to get logged out from the forum quite often/quickly, from time to time.
Re-opening the forum from the main webpage (e.g. http://heredur.drakensang.com/user?lang=en) and accessing the respective thread again usually solves the issue, though. Did you try that?
At least for me, the other 2 threads work just as fine as this one here.

Oh, in between I understood that you probably opened the forum from the thin client. If I do that and left-click those links, they also get opened in a (system default) browser window.
But if you use a right mouse click instead and "open " or "open in new window" from the context menu, you ought to get another "integrated" browser window.
Alternatively, you can also directly access those threads from the thread list.

 

Thank you for taking the time to put most of the player desires into a few threads, but despite the "we're listening" line that gets told every few months, I gave up believing that DSO will implement most of these any time soon.

 

When hope dies, a player flies.

Good lists deserve to be set to music. Make mantras, anyone?

 

I voted:
(1) Autoloot for realm fragments, event items, essences, potions , blue or higher items etc.
(2)More visible mouse pointer
About (1) , I DO hate : click click click click click ...... silver ess
What I want to see next:
(1) More than 50 skill and knowledge points
(2) More item slot, such as: ring. afterall, we have 10 fingers, why only use 2 rings.
It's not necessary : Diablo use 2 rings , here also.

 

In between, the CMs have announced that there will be an official survey:

@CM Greg confirmed this information in the German Version of this thread today.
So, thanks again to everyone for their participation here, stay tuned, and do make (y)our voice heard loudly and clearly in that official poll!
Cheers ,
Armando
