Mind. This IS just a suggestion thread, and since I'm lazy, I haven't really gone through the rest of the thread to read what everyone else wants. I figure I'll just compile a list of things that I REALLY want in the game right here. I'm gonna log all these under the "Other" section of this forum, as this list will consist of MANY things, from cosmetic game changes that I'd like to see, to mechanic changes that would be neat, to items, to just about ANYTHING. FIRST and FOREMOST! I would LOVE to see more in-game options. ESPECIALLY the ability to turn OFF dynamic lighting. It's an amazing effect, and great for higher end computers, but a high end computer mine is not. For me, it lags the game, overloads the computer, and I usually crash if I'm not too careful. But honestly, more video options would be appreciated. It seems awkward that I can play some higher graphic games running just fine (Skyrim, Fallout, Hawken and the like), and yet a pixelated, action platformer is still too much for the ol' girl. Second thing I'd like to see is more of a cosmetic thing, an option to turn the helmet graphics OFF. I know that some of the helmets are amazing, and look REALLY cool, but some of the early ones just... SUCK. And I'd rather see my funny little pixel face and everything. I mean, I chose my hair and hair color, I want to SEE that. If not a toggleable helmet graphic, then more, low-end head gear pieces that keep my characters hair and eyes free. head-bands, tiara's, crowns, small hats, whatever, just more, early options. I know this is really all a part of random generation, and sometimes you just won't get the option, but still, I like my hair, it's fabulous! Third suggestion would probably fit more under a the "mechanics" thread, but hey, I warned all y'all, and this is the ability to crawl, maybe even stealth! Many other platforming games have something like this, and that's the ability to slowly move forward while in the crouched position. I mean, CROUCHING is already there (and saved me once when I set up a wood barrier against some gunmen), but the ability to move through smaller spaces at ground level would be neat to have in the game. And to go further with this idea, maybe while sitting in a crouched position for a long enough time, you go "stealth," and, depending on the armor you're wearing, baddies have a shorter aggro range (to none at all if you're wearing the right armor). The effect would wear off after a few seconds if you stand up, and in even less time if you run, but you would be able to move stealthily if you decide to crawl. Finally, while stealthed, gain some bonus damage to a one handed melee attack if you're still in stealth. I know, I know, it's unoriginal, a hefty suggestion, and kinda out there, but hey, that's why it's a suggestion. In the words of a great, fictional scientist "Honestly, we're just throwing science at the wall here, seeing what sticks."
Uhp, came across a couple other things that would probably already be suggested, but what can I say, I'm not really looking, because I'm a jerk. Anyway, another thing that I'd like is the ability to set my warp in point after warping to the planet. even if a low-tier item only warps in on the surface, I don't tend to set up shop right where I warp in (typically finding a nice, cozy place next to some landmark.) So closing the game (or having it crash) is kind of a pain, because I know when I open it again, I've got a bit of a trek to get to where my main base is. Also, the ability to edit your character's personality in game (and other aspects, but personality mostly), I just had to delete a new character (after playing them for about an hour) because I completely forgot to set her personality to something a little more then stoic, arms to the side type. If I had been able to edit how she stood in game, wouldn't have had to do that. (Oh no, I gotta start that character over, woe is me /sarcasm). May not be the most annoying for me, but some people might find it helpful at least.
To address the helmet comment, It'd be nice if they added a feature such as clicking the vanity slots while they were empty to basically turn your armor invisible. At least for the head anyway, otherwise you'd have to find an invisible hat or something that you were fine with covering up your face.
Honestly, I'd be good with a mask, I think. Covering the face is fine, since I have no real option for that, but I'm currently playing a Floran with the mushroom plant-hair style thing, and I kinda based my character's name and everything around that (Deathcap is in her name), I kinda don't want to cover that up.... Really, I would just love to see the ability to turn of helm graphics a little more then anything right now... Or I might just have to play without a helmet (Unless I need it to survived in some environment)
Yea, made out of cloth fabric or something... Heck, you can make all the starter chest and leg pieces from the get-go, but there's no helmet. Something like a wig would be nice. maybe add a fur drop or something that would craft into a wig (or even better, the wig you want, and have all the wigs craftable), even though that wouldn't make sense for Florans, Avians and the Glitch, but who cares, just something for now.
