Hello!

I have been playing PDO now for 5 weeks or so. This is the first MMORPG game I have played and I am fairly happy with it. However, there are some things I would like to suggest:

1) Higher resolution in full-screen. 1024x768 is NOT much on a 1920x1200 screen :/

2) Support for 32-bit color depth in Windowed mode. I am running two or three clients at once usually and that forces my desktop color depth to 16-bit which makes everything else, but PDO, look ugly.

3) Expensive PP-only items like the Wantong and some mounts should definitly not drop if you're PK'ed. This is usually real money that's been used to purchase PP and then eventually the Wantong or an Elephant mount or whatever. I do realize people can buy a Scapegoat Stone for 15PP (and I _always_ have one on me), but losing 590 (500 + 90 for 9 locations) PP is just not okay, in my opinion.

4) When I click on the map, I want my char to go there. Not go 4 steps and then stop. That is actually seriously annoying. Make it an option in the client or something, whether people want it to work that way or not, if some prefer how it is now.

5) Adding friends/blacklisting people (especially the latter) should be doable even if you're not in the same state as they are.

6) Make us able to change the name of a character. I think, a "one time change" would be fine. Like, I chose a _very_ bad name for mine because I was thinking about weird stuff at the time, hehe, and I would like it to be changed, but I can't

That was quite a list, I know, but these are just observations made in my time playing PDO and then now, suggestions on how to improve gameplay and the experience for everybody.

I know people will argue that "you could just have a scapegoat stone" for the PP only items and such, but don't be _that_ cruel. This is just a game, and some people work real hard to earn the PP that has been bought for real money.

erm....i though pp items only drop if pked when u have criminal points?

SpiritDragon......yesterday there was quite a cry over some1 lost his Wantong *it got picked by some passerby or staff like that* and that player wasn't a criminal

invisi1407 - i don't think that PDO staff will be able to change point 6) it might be difficult to make such thing run automatically *mysql db is easy to shange "by hands", but there 1 will have to make a script..if they use db of'course"*

BadBoy

i agree with point 3

I don't know about that, but either way, it should not drop expensive items. Seriously, worst case (and quite possibly) it is $15.99 wasted cause you got PK'd. I'd say that if you have rogue status and no scapegoat stone, expensive items should drop cause you did not just PK one or two to obtain that status.

Everything is possible Unless they made the character name a primary key of identification in the system, in which case I'd be happy to teach them about good database practice as well as database normalization schemes, then it should be quite easy. They have an account server, which is probably running some kind of database.

i agree to all that is on this thread i don't know if it will make a difference but you are right .
i would like to also add that some people are un able to use the scrolls they buy for rep points from the mysterios merchant as some players have taken controll of the areas for example  bigmouth quest can not be done by anyone except those very high powerfull players they will not allow anyone else to get it i suggest maybe only 1 or 2 times a day per account.

Yes, the guild The Merchants have made themselves a monopoly on Big Mouth in Goddess Forest and however annyoing that is, I feel it's a part of the game, the battle for territory.

If these reputation quests were limited so that you could only get two kills each day, I postulate that some players will simply just not let anyone else kill the mob anyway.

My theory on Rep Quest it should be done by rep level not player level. Examples below:

If you are:
Rep 1-2  for George
Rep 3-4 Big Mouth......

and so on.

Sounds like a very good solution! I hope the PDO team will listen to us =)
