A Roleplayer and the RP Community's Wishlist of Features

Time for an update before I take a break for the holidays :>

I’ve been sampling some more information from my own community to add to the list, and I have some useful links to share from the forums. I am unfortunately not able to add a complete list of everyone’s wishes, but I do suggest checking these threads to start out with!

(The latter links to and has been referenced in the former, but I figured it was a good idea to link them both either way.)

I have been reaching out to fellow players from my personal corner of AD-EU, here’s a condensed list - with some added opinions :>

Customisation

  • More colour options, for hair, skin, et cetera.
  • Upright worgen, trolls, forsaken. See ‘body types’ in my original post :>
  • Options for more undead races. The suggestion given suggested this as an option for the forsaken race. I’m not entirely sold on that idea, I would rather give us options to play as undead versions of other races (without having to play DK :>).
  • Demon hunter wings! Either as toys, transmog or a toggle-able spell, such as the worgen human form.
  • The ability to hide Forsaken boney toes sticking out of boots.
  • More gnome customisation options!

Emotes

  • More dance variations!.. this has been a bit of a meme since WotLK. I imagine it takes a lot of resources to make new dances, for all the different races available, though!
  • Targeting should make you look at the character’s face, not their core. Let’s just say it sometimes looks a little awkward…!

Transmog

  • More NPC transmogs available to players. I touched on this in my original post.
  • Less restrictions for transmog on armor class. This might be worth an entire post of its own…
  • Old unobtainable transmogs being obtainable somehow. The BMAH isn’t all that accessible to most players, so it would be nice to have another way to earn them. There were also some wishes to get an option to earn old, more prestigious rewards again, such as old glatiator sets and mounts.
  • More cosmetic gear options!
  • Update old armour to be higher resolution / better models. This one might be a bit harder to do; replacing existing transmog with higher fidelity versions will be welcome by some, and not by others. Worthy of a debate in another place.
  • Dyes for armour.
  • More white/grey armour transmoggable. Examples given were the new starter gear sets!

Toys

  • Tents, tables and longer duration for bench toys. Generally, the ability to place objects that stay there for a while, such as Vulpera tents, is highly requested. It would be nice to set up camps out in the world!
  • Minigames you can play with others! We technically have some already, but the more the merrier.

Mounts

  • Boat mounts with passenger seats! Boats already exist in the game, but they aren’t very boat-like. Can I also add that ships would be fun, even if they might be more challenging to implement?

Systems

  • RP/Exploration mode. There’s some discussion on how this would be implemented, but the gist of it is a warmode-like mode you can opt into, so you can explore and RP in a world without having to worry about NPCs et cetera. I do not personally think this is the great solution RPers are having with a lot of the problems presented when talking about this, but that is a discussion for another time. More on that here:
    Exploration Mode
  • Garrison customisation! I have my doubts that we will see more updates to the garrisons, I also think player/guild housing might take care of that.
  • Invite others to Tillers farm! I’ll also add the ship yard in the garrisons.
  • Profession booths: okay, so this takes a little explanation. Imagine you have a toy where you set up a work station, much like how Feasts and Cauldrons work, to allow players to interact with you over that.
  • /Ignore to phase players out. This one I think… is technically very difficult to implement, and also might be a little antithetical to the game, i.e. prone to being abused. This was primarily suggested as a solution to get rid of players who are trolling you with their massive mounts or otherwise.
  • Roleplay profile addon features in game. I think this one is a little unlikely to be implemented, as all RPers are using these anyway, but many former addon features have been turned into actual features in-game before. If any features from these addons would be implemented, something like surnames or gender could be nice to have.
  • Player housing profession and trading system! Here’s a link of a concept that was sent to me, shoutout to Anakhor AD-EU :> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QECZvjEPJcY4VGMMX_hArGPgvttIdodvIlE2invT4XI/edit?usp=sharing

World

  • More open houses in capital cities. RPers are mostly stuck to using buildings as they exist in the overworld, and there is a limit to how many there are.
  • Update cities to better correspond with how things are now. Older cities haven’t seen many updates since they were introduced (Exodar, Silvermoon) and others have been removed entirely (as I pointed out in my original post).
  • Update Azeroth! It would be nice if the old world was updated to better reflect the current state of Azeroth - both in terms of lore, storytelling, and graphics.
  • Put Azeroth in one single instance. I think there are some serious technical limitations to this, so I do not think it is entirely doable and/or worth doing. Maybe for “WoW 2”…
  • More cities/urban environments!.. Like Mechagon, or Suramar.
  • Reveal the rest of Azeroth. What’s that over the horizon…?

If I have not added any feedback already given here yet, it is either because I haven’t seen it, have brought it under the umbrella of another suggestion, or that I’m trying to figure out how to put it in here. I’m still going to post more wishes here in the future, so keep the suggestions coming. Thank you :>

Edit: added another link to the wishlist.
