Game design

The game has to work for both the kid who just got the game for Christmas and the guy who bought the game during it’s 2004 launch date. Btw I want to be a game designer. I think I am dropping out of school to design games.

This is great that you already have a passion, but I wouldn’t advise dropping out of school to pursue it. If anything, a CS degree massively benefits you going into the games industry.

I do want to say though, the Gaming Industry is known for being underpaid (Relative to other CS jobs), overworked, and in general is a rather volatile career due to how back and forth financial success can be with the games.

Agreed. A lot of games do this well, though. Maybe Rogue-likes and Souls games don’t, but I feel that most games are designed with a low barrier of entry, with ways for all types of gamers to get enjoyment from it.

I have the following IDEAS,

  1. Hearth Stone for ThunderBluff and Undercity

  2. Heirloom Book for COOKING AND FISHING

  3. ITEM LEVEL AND GOLD ON THE GAME MENU

  4. ACHIEVEMENT OF ALL QUESTS DONE FOR A ZONE.

  5. AHCIEVEMENT ALL QUESTS DONE IN KALIMOR

  6. ACHIEVEMENT OF ALL QUESTS DONE IN EASTERN KINGDOM.

  7. LIST OF ALL QUESTS BY ZONE

  8. ACHIEVEMENT OF ALL QUESTS DONE IN THE GAME

  9. SOMETHING DONE TO FIX CRAFTING MAYBE THE ABILITY TO CRAFT BETTER HEIRLOOM ITEMS.

  10. AUTOMATIC GREY QUEST EXCLAMATIONS.

  11. ON MENU MOUSE OVER ITEM-LEVEL, GOLD ON CHARACTER, and /played

12 HEIRLOOM COOKING AND FISHING

  1. EXTRA HEARTH STONE AVAILABLE AT 60 FOR ALL YOUR FAVORITE INNS. MAYBE UNDERCITY OR THUNDERBLUFF

14 . A TABARD FOR steam wheedle cartel. (RATCHET, BOOTY BAY, EVERLOOK, AND GAGETZCHAN)

  1. THE LAST THING I WANT TO SAY IS THE WOW TEAM HAS DONE AN AWESOME JOB AT WHAT THEY HAVE MADE AND THEY DESERVE PRAISE, I WILL CONTINUE TO SPEND, PLEASE CONSIDER SOME OF MY THINGS, SOME OF THEM ARE EASY ONES LIKE THE HEARTHSTONE OR HEIRLOOM FISHING AND COOKING.

  2. AND HOW ABOUT THE ABILITY TO JOIN TWO GUILDS. ELIMINATING THE CONFLICT OF PLAYING WITH YOUR FRIENDS VS. PLAYING PROFESSIONALLY.

  3. An east one, /calc command for an in-game calculator

  4. /music is an in-game mp3 player.

========================================================================

IN ADDITION, I THOUGHT OF THE FIRST WAY TO BEGIN TO IMPROVE THE GAME FOR BLINDS. YOU CAN ADD THE VERBAL COMMAND CAST

PREIST
CAST RENEW ON PLAYER ONE
CAST POWER WORD: SHEILD ON PLAYER ONE
CAST FLASH HEAL ON PLAYER ONE
CAST POWER WORD SERENITY ON PLAYER 5
CAST MENDING ON PLAYER 4
CAST DESPERATE PRAYER

MAGE
CAST PYROBLAST ON TANK TARGET
cast DRAGONS BREATH ON TANK TARGET
cast SCOURCH ON TANK TARGET
CAST FIRE BLAST ON TANK TARGET
CAST FIREBALL ON TANK TARGET

cast Arcane Barrage on tank target
cast arcane blast on tank target
cast arcane missles on tank target

ATTACK SPELLS FOR FAR WILL AUTOMATICALLY TARGET THE TANK’S TARGET.

PLAYER WILL AUTOMATICALLY FOLLOW A PLAYER

THIS IS FOR BLIND PLAYRES

========================================================================

HOW ABOUT MORE VOID STORAGE? AND VOID STORAGE AT THE BANK AREA. YOU SHOULD SEE IT, I FILLED UP MY INVENTORY WITH COOL ITEMS. I"M GOING TO BUY THE BEST DRAGONFLIGHT EXPANSION. THAT IS WHEN MY MONEY COMES IN FOR THIS MONEY. THIS IS MY WAY OF HELPING PAY FOR ALL THESE PROGRAMMING THINGS. PLEASE TRUST ME, I THINK PLAYERS WILL BE HAPPY WITH THE CHANGES.

I’m buying the 89.99 version of the expansion once I get my money in the middle of OCT. I want this money to be spent on further development such as some of the PRE-DRAGONFLIGHT CONTENT. THE NUMBER ONE REASON YOU WERE MISSING ME SOMETIMES WAS I DIDN’T HAVE MONEY TO PAY FOR MY GAME OR I DIDN’T HAVE RELIABLE INTERNET and I joined periodically. CAN I PLEASE GET A LEVEL 70 BOOST SINCE I WILL BE SO FAR BEHIND?

========================================================================

I FIGURED OUT THE BEST WAY TO HANDLE THE GUILD LOOT, THEY CAN MAKE A REQUEST AND IF I APPOVE IT I WILL SEND IT IN THE MAIL. ALL TABS ARE VIEWABLE.
IT’S JUST I FARMED ALL THE GUILD BANK BY MYSELF, I AM GOING TO SPEND ANOTHER 10K GOLD TO GET THE NEXT TAB WHICH WILL BE FOR RAID MATS.

========================================================================

I want a bigger quest log and the ability to drop all quests.

/calc for an in-game calculator
/music for an in-game MP3 player that lets you decide on different zone music such as Stormwind in Orgrimmar and vice versa.

/todo - A in-game TO DO LISI - MINE IS

  1. Get Goblin Rep - done
  2. GET KNIGHTS OF THE ENON BLADE REP - working on it
  3. Get MY SECOND TIMEWARP Mount
  4. Try to have fun at Darkmoon Fair
  5. Finish EVERY HEIRLOOM ITEM
  6. GET THE EXPANSION AND PLAY LIKE HELL TRYING TO GET CATCH UP

========================================================================

HOW ABOUT A VOID STORAGE GUY IN THE BANK AREA.

DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF VOID STORAGE FOR US OBESSESED.

REPUTATION HEIRLOOM REPUTATION SETS ALL YOUR NEUTRAL REPUTATIONS TO FRIENDLY AND YOU CAN BUY IT ONCE YOU HAVE AMBASSADOR AND 15 EXAULTED REPUTATIONS. THIS WILL MAKE GETTING ALL YOUR REPUTATIONS TO EXALTED SEEM LESS DAUNTING. YOUR CHARACTER IS FRIENDS WITH YOUR ALTS AND HE IS SO EPIC EVERYONE IS FRIENDLY WITH YOUR ALTS.

HOW ABOUT A BUTTON TO DROP ALL QUESTS FROM YOUR QUEST LOG SO YOU CAN PICK UP FRESH NEW MORE RELEVANT QUESTS AND ALSO INCREASE THE SIZE OF THE QUEST LOG BY 10 QUESTS?

========================================================================
I think it would be cool if they made an in-game tab on the quest tab that shows which quests and quest chains you have done by zone. Kind of like the crafting unlearned tab. It would be helpful too where you can pick up on chains you have started and abandoned.

Also a tab of all quests you haven’t done too. I think it would be cool to have a all-wow quests finished accomplishment. Also, Can we get grey exclamation marks?

THIS QUEST LOG SHOULD HAVE THREE TABS, ACQUIRED QUESTS, AVAILABLE QUESTS, AND FINISHED QUESTS.

ALSO ANOTHER BANK TAB FOR SOULBOUND ARMOR AND ONE FOR CONSOUMABLES LIKE FLASKS AND BANDAGES.

God damn, those are some sweet ideas.

I’m sorry I won’t be able to get the expansion until Dec 24th or Christmas. I’ll spell out my finances for you.
For NOVEMBER I GET 125 dollars in spending money of which I have to put 100 of it back into savings to bring my Savings account back up to 100 dollars so my bank will stop fining me 12 dollars a month to have an account with Bank of America. Then in December, I get another 125 dollars bringing my Checking account up to 150 at which point I will buy the 49.99 expansion bringing my checking account down to $100 dollars, which I will spend on Secret Santa. This year we are going to do Secret Santa Again. During the next two months, I am going to try out Archaeology but not pet battles.

I didn’t dislike Archaeology It’s just I had 19 years’ worth of content to cover in 2 to 3 years.
(2004 game release) I want to work on Archaeology now that I am beginning to get classic content caught up. I am getting close to getting the heirloom ring done. I want to get the entire heirloom collection then I will start at level 1.

I still haven’t even touched PVP yet. Make sure to keep Archaeology in the game, I’m going to do it until I get the expansion. BTW PVP SHOULD GIVE AS MUCH GOLD AS RUNNING A RANDOM DUNGEON.

Can you make it so we don’t have to use Chrome, the “I” or the dungeon finder should be able to set the random. You should be able to select the dungeon expansion you want or select Random ALL dungeons from classic to Dragonflight.

PLEASE PUT YOUR INPUT HERE BLIZZARD AND PLAYERS. I WILL BE BUYING THE FULL WAR WITHIN 90 90-DOLLAR BOOST. I’M GOING TO BOOST MY DRUID TO LEVEL 70. ONCE AGAIN I AM BEHIND, I STILL NEED TO PLAY DRAGONFLIGHT. AT THE LATEST I WILL BE RECEIVING MY MONEY ON DECEMBER 12th. THEN I AM IMMEDIATELY PAYING FOR WOW WAR WITHIN.

It is finally nearing the time I’m getting the expansion. I’m getting the 89.99 copy. I got the expansion a whole year late, It makes me want to cry. I’m getting my money around DECEMBER 15th. I want to be in 3 days early with the beta so that will be cool. I might be getting my money on Tuesday the 12th. I get my money on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

I THINK WE SHOULD MAKE IT SO THAT ONCE YOU GET 25 EXALTED OR 30 EXALTED REPUTATIONS THE REMAINDER OF ALL YOUR REPS BELOW FRIENDLY TURN INTO +50 FRIENDLY. NOT 0 AT FRIENDLY BECAUSE YOU WOULD HAVE NOTHING TO LOOK AT.

I’ve been playing the game on and off for 18 years so I have a lot to say. I’ll happy to play at level 70 once I get the boost and I will try to farm the Dragonflight reps from day one.

I GOT A DATE NOW, I AM GETTING THE EXPANSION ON 12/12/2023 or 12/14/2023. THIS SHOULD BE A DEFINATE DATE. MY DAD IS VISITING AND HE IS DEPOSITING MY MONEY INTO MY BACK ACCOUNT. SORRY I TOOK SO LONG I JUST DIDN’T HAVE MONEY BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO DO CHRISTMAS PRESENTS BUT NOW I HAVE THE MONEY STARTING ON 12/12/2023 or 12/14/2023.

I got another idea, Make a space under Stormwind and Oggrimar and put every Quartermaster there in addition to their usual spot. I’m up to 31 exalted reputations

which is a lot of Quartermasters to shop from.

I’m the expansion very soon, My Dad is depositing my money tonight. I could be a few minutes or a couple of hours. I’ll be buying it soon. I’ll be buying the 50-dollar expansion.

ONE LAST THING, I HAVE AN ADDICTION TO COLLECTING COOL ITEMS, I COULD USE A BANK TAB JUST FOR SOULBOUND ARMOR AND WEAPONS. THIS WOULD HELP A LOT AND WOULD BE EASY TO MAKE.

BTW I AM HAPPILY PLAYING DRAGONFLIGHT NOW BUT I AM HAVING A LOT OF INVENTORY PROBLEMS.

1/9/2024
I’m happily playing DragonFlight expansion now. I need a bank tab or two for all my SOULBOUND collection. Two tabs of the size of the reagent tab would be nice. I already maxed out my I even used up my VOID Storage and had to vendor my old tabards which I regret. On that note let’s put a magical place where all the Quartermasters are accessible. MAYBE UNDERGROUND OR IN A MAGIC DIMENSION SOMEWHERE, I KNOW ASMOGOLD NEEDS MORE BANK STORAGE BECAUSE HIS BAG IS ALWAYS FULL WHEN HE SHOWS IT IN HIS VIDEOS.reputation status.

How about all your characters share one reputation status? Instead of the rep being on your characters it is referenced to a set of reputations like a character who receives all the reputations… So my 40 exalted reps will show up on all my characters.

How about saving the slash played the record for every level played so you can tell how long it took you to complete every level, such as level 50,60,70. I want to know what areas of the game I could do faster. I need more practice questing the later levels, in the past, I was mostly using dungeons to level.

I got an idea, What if you could level up your gear through farming mats, IE 2 to 4 items per character item level? There are a lot of gaps, especially in class crafting. Tailoring, Leatherworking, and Blacksmithing

ALSO, THE QUARTER MASTERS SHOULD HAVE ITEMS FOR LOW AND HIGH LEVELS FOR AN APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF GOLD, THERE SHOULD BE MORE THAN ONE WAY TO EQUIP YOUR CHARACTER.

CAN YOU PUT BACK THE PORTALS IN DALARAN? WHAT IF SOMEONE WANTED TO GO TO THUNDERBLUFF, DARNASUS, IRON FORGE, OR UNDERCITY. I DON’T WANT THERE TO BE JUST ONE CITY THAT EVERYONE GOES TO, I WANT PEOPLE TO CHANGE THEIR FAVORITE CITY EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE.

Does anyone like any of my ideas? Why don’t we have everyone vote on this, the can rank the idea’s they like from 1 to 4 in order in a reply below.

MINE ARE

  1. ALL Quartermasters in one capital city, Quartermaster has goods for high and low levels
  2. Crafting should have two to four patterns per level making it able to make heirloom equivalent gear through crafting.
  3. Shared reputation between your main and your alt.
  4. Heirloom Fishing and Cooking books so all your alts look complete.
  5. MORE PORTALS, PUT BACK THE PORTALS IN DALARAN IRONFORGE, DARNASASUS AND THUNDER BLUFF, AND UNDERCITY.

The question is how much more do I need to spend on wow to see some changes? how about I buy some mounts?

BLUE DO YOU EVEN READ THIS?

========================================================================
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE MENU CHANGES I SUGGESTED. YOU MADE IT EVEN BETTER THAN I SUGGESTED. YOU MADE THE FAVORITE PORTION AND THE CHARACTERS CAMPING TOGETHER IS NEAT. NEXT CAN YOU DO THE COOKING AND FISHING HEIRLOOM ITEM? I DON’T HAVE TIME TO DO COOKING ON 30 CHARACTERS, I JUST DONE. I ENJOY LEVELING SO MUCH I JUST KEEP ON DOING IT OVER AND OVER.

THE MENU IS NICE BUT IT IS NOT DONE YET!
WHEN YOU MOUSE OVER A CHARACTER IT SHOULD SHOW THEIR XP BAR AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN.

ALSO THERE SHOULD SORTING OPTIONS

  1. BY CLASS
  2. BY LEVEL
  3. BY REALM
  4. BY FACTION
  5. ALL OF ABOVE
  6. CUSTOM SORT
