Has anyone else noticed this too? I mean, shouldn't it be, use it, hope for stun, run back away from mob, use other spell etc? For some reason it freezes your character unable to move back etc.

That's not a delay, its a game mechanic, applies to all spells with a casting time, weird you only see it in one spell..

I salute you for actually proposing meaningful design changes rather than knee jerk reactions to launch pains. Kudos good sir.

lol thanks, and I'm a girl. XD I'm trying to think of non-biased things. Plus they've fixed the queue thing a little more so far, though I still think people who preordered game should get compensation for time lost due to queues... that last for many many hours, to get into game..

-------------------------

I'm adding more things as I remember them. Like the one I just added about the GM Petition in this game. :x

What irritates me the most is still mouse controls. Left-click to pan should_always_ have priority over everything else in the game. Flying toons and at random times on the ground suddenly drop left-click as pan at random times. Left-click to pan should always work, no matter if I'm crafting, gathering, flying, fighting, running. I know middle click works but I can look faster manually.

On that note, left-click panning needs to be independent. What I mean is when I use it to pan it should have zero effect on my toon. Currently when you pan the camera to look at your face and jump, your toon changes in the direct you were panned to. It should not do this, instead you should simply jump and continue on the path you set yourself on before you panned the camera.

Solid list of suggestions. I approve. Especially the account-wide key mappings, oh how annoying it is to have to keep remaking those over and over.

[Thrishmal]

I agree with a lot of these suggestions. The chat functions in this game need to be improved drastically, they are especially unforgiving for slash commands...not sure why it posts those to chat if they don't register with the game.

Some of my biggest gripes are ones you have already covered, with character profiles and saving character creation images. These small items make the game seem less alt friendly than it should be, which is somewhat baffling to me since we have an account bank which is very alt-friendly.

Speaking of alt-friendliness, more character slots wouldn't hurt. That might just be the mad desire of an altaholic though.

[Aeriya]

Currently still adding more ideas, give me some more of your own to add to. Maybe we can sticky this post so someone important can notice it.

[Axiana]

I am not sure I understand the issue with tells. To reply to the last person who sent you a tell or whisper, press T.. to change to the person before press TAB (which cycles through everyone you had a private conversation with so far). Pressing T is as easy as Enter, except I don't then have to change my default chat back to group or guild etc when finished with my private convo.

[Nixie]

Absolutely agree with everything 100%

• I love the suggestion about making the chat UI like the one in Guild Wars. I love that interface and it is very intuitive/easy to use, even in battle.
• at the very least they need to make non-existent / commands NOT go to the chat channels. If I see "/fps" in chat one more nyerking time...
• automatically closing the client when an authorization connection fails or the server is down is unacceptable and extremely irritating.
• I am with you 100% on improving the reporting system. I have seen dozens of gold spammers and encountered a few bots and not once have any of my reports gone through. In fact, I receive no feedback at all, not even a "your report has been received, thank you" message or anything. Adding a "report" function to the player selection menu in the chat window (like in GW, WoW, and many other games) seems like a no-brainer.
• Please please please make the broker search NOT case-sensitive. It's a little something but at the same time, it's a big something.
• Stopping collection on a node should not automatically get use up one of its charges.

Added some of your major points to list Nixie. Thanks.

Aye, agree 100%

I wouldn't mind seeing smaller breast sizes in character creation made available for female characters. It just isn't right that some people have to roll a feminine male character in order to make a small breasted woman.

Just sayin...

Please add fixing the sound for Windows Vista and Win7 users to your list. If Windows XP (a 2 release old operating system) gets 5.1 surround positional/distance based sound, then Windows Vista and Win 7 should have it also. Thanks.

[HazedTG]

Some great suggestions for fixes/improvements here. I hope someone at NCsoft sees this.

Things to Fix:
1.) I don't know if this is "totally" noticeable, but if you play a priest + etc, when you use the combo that stuns a target, after you stun (or sometimes don't stun), when you try to move back, your character just kinda gets stuck for a few seconds. Has anyone else noticed this too? I mean, shouldn't it be, use it, hope for stun, run back away from mob, use other spell etc? For some reason it freezes your character unable to move back etc.

2.) I still think the chat system needs to be fixed in this game, it's very hard to toggle through whispers etc, especially if talking to more than one person, also you have to keep hitting "reply" to keep talking to someone in whisper. I'd prefer pressing enter to keep talking to that person in whisper, then type /group or w/e to go back to talking to group. Or maybe even a better fix for the chat would be nice. But anyways, the chat system is not very easy to use, especially if you're fighting something.

3.) I think instead of taking out person shops, they should just make shops attach to the player, so other players can see when they put items up for sale, and click on them to see/buy them. (Like in FFXI) I think this would fix the lag issues, or people afking with shops to bypass getting disconnected. Also it would just be a lot better, because you can sell things while still playing the game. ^^ (If you don't want to use the Auction House).

4.) I think that AION US/EU needs new fighting "grunts" or put only SOME of them in (like the Korean version, I don't remember all these weird noises while fighting in Korean Version..). The voices are horrible, sorry Brian Knox, but it's true. Especially the women ones. I know you can mute them and all, but why should we have to mute them? I like to play with sound, unlike most people. So please change them.. or make them minimal, we don't need a grunt or "yelling" every time we hit, or get hit by a mob. (Or add an option to mute all of the fighting "grunts" and sounds that your character makes, as suggested below by picartman.)

5.) (From Grakar)
"What irritates me the most is still mouse controls. Left-click to pan should_always_ have priority over everything else in the game. Flying toons and at random times on the ground suddenly drop left-click as pan at random times. Left-click to pan should always work, no matter if I'm crafting, gathering, flying, fighting, running. I know middle click works but I can look faster manually.
On that note, left-click panning needs to be independent. What I mean is when I use it to pan it should have zero effect on my toon. Currently when you pan the camera to look at your face and jump, your toon changes in the direct you were panned to. It should not do this, instead you should simply jump and continue on the path you set yourself on before you panned the camera."

6.) (From Nixie)
Please fix the issue with game closing itself out, "automatically closing the client when an authorization connection fails or the server is down is unacceptable and extremely irritating." (I have noticed this as well, I was wondering WHY the game kept disappearing, now I know why. Thanks Nixie!)

7.) (From Nixie again)
"Please please please make the broker search NOT case-sensitive. It's a little something but at the same time, it's a big something."

8.) Please fix the "Mob Selection" in this game. Why is it only closest mob? This messes me up quite a bit, when I tab onto something then it changes to something else that moves infront of me and the other mob. I find it very annoying, I think you should be able to "choose" what mob you want it to tab on, not have it autmatically choose the CLOSEST mob. If anything, add a "true tab" or w/e you want to call it, WITH this "closest mob" tabbing.

Things to Add:
1.) First of all, I think AION needs a way to save your key mappings to ACCOUNT not character. You're most likely going to use the same keys on every character, so why didn't they add an option to save your key mapping to the ACCOUNT instead of PER CHARACTER? This gets really annoying if you're recreating character etc, or just making more characters. You have to keep inputting your personal key settings. (Like me, I use side keys etc to move, like in FFXI, I have keyboard fully open for chat only. I use ctrl + j etc.)

2.) Another thing that's needed to be added, but slightly less important is: a way to save character looks/and/or way to edit your character for the first 1-2 days you make it, then it becomes permanent (unless you use ingame money to fix it later on in the game). It's annoying when first of all, the customization screen has nothing to really go by (background) etc, and the colors are slightly lighter ingame too, so when you make the character sometimes it doesn't turn out like you thought it would, so you wanna recreate it but sometimes forget how u made it in the first place. So I think this should be added to the game.

4.) (From Shinsou)
"The legion command menu needs to be updated with more options. Option to add different ranks and to change accessability options of each rank. They need to let anyone deposit into the legion warehouse, but only officers withdrawl. It's annoying and not realistic to promote everyone in the legion to centurions in order for them to deposit into the warehouse."

5.) Please add a BETTER GM PETITION system. The one now in the game is very confusing and annoying, also sometimes or most of the time, it says something like, you have to wait til so and so time, why isn't GM service 24/7? Aren't most games 24/7 on GM service I thought? >.> Also the way to send in GM requests is just plain annoying to me, they really need a better system. Also they need a faster and better way to report gold-seller spammers. (Comment from Nixie regarding this: I am with you 100% on improving the reporting system. I have seen dozens of gold spammers and encountered a few bots and not once have any of my reports gone through. In fact, I receive no feedback at all, not even a "your report has been received, thank you" message or anything. Adding a "report" function to the player selection menu in the chat window (like in GW, WoW, and many other games) seems like a no-brainer.)

6.) Add key customization for "camera". If you can customize all the other keys, why not be able to customize camera too? I come from FFXI and you used the "arrow keys" to change camera view. I'm a keyboard person, I barely use the mouse at all. I'd like to be able to change the camera view with keys etc. ^^ Instead of walking around, stopping to move camera with mouse, then continuing. Or have the camera follow your character better maybe?

7.) Please add a way to select NPCs like you would mobs, with a key. ^^ This isn't entirely important but I think it would be useful. (NPCs as in town npcs or even things you harvest type npcs, etc). I mean they added "dead target", so why not add NPC targeting/tabbing.

Only 14 problems in your eyes. Pretty damn good for an MMO launch don't you think?

I could think of hundreds of problems in both AoC and WAR.

I guess it WAS a successful launch despite all the moaners.

Edit: Just for the record...after number 2 comes number 3, not 4 as per your list of things to add

Added your suggestion. Thanks again.

BTW we're not really moaning, just trying to help NCsoft out by coming up with a compilation of suggestions for the game itself. ^^
