What updates do you hope to see when the next test starts?

It is obvious that TS is hard at work putting the finishing touches on Ur in preparation for the grand opening. What do you want to see in place before we open to the public?

I hope that the Hall of Records (next to the Rook Museum) opens and has a quest associated with it.

  • -I'd like to see the chickens calm down some. Annoying flappy things that take off when I'm nowhere near them and then get right in the way of everything I'm trying to do make me frowny.

    -Less lag in the Swamp worlds would be great! :D 
    -If GGway in Ix could be fixed so that God can imagine it more often instead of booting me over to experimental renderer almost every time I enter that street... that would be lovely :D

    Other than that, I'm good for now.
    -Eventually I'd like to see more things like the Jeth. Tower, or at least more levels and things to do in the Tower, seems like there's quite a bit of potential there, would be nice to see what the Devs come up with :)

  • -an ability to upgrade a basic tool to a newer one using the tinkertool
    - "ask permission to help" on mining rather than "help mine"
    - cubimals keep the ability to stay in mid-air
    - a connection between one of the lands west of the Heights and the swamp lands.

  • House drop boxes, so we can continue to leave gifts for our neighbors without people swiping the items...I like the idea of leaving things at the house vice them having to go to a mailbox to get it...much more personal...and not everyone on my block is necessarily a friend of mine, but I still like to be nice to them.

    House decorating...looking forward to that quickly after reset/launch (not necessarily before it opens to the public though) since it's another one of those things that has been on the dev to-do list for a while now...and it's something that will help me remain interested in the game.

    ETA: that the giant pages in the Encyclopedia actually work and give us some info on the giants.

  • I wanna pet monkey. And a boat. And a programmable robot that I can use for harvesting/mining/etc. Also, the NPCs that were mentioned before that we could give instructions to.

  • I think a fun wardrobe item would be a pet on a leash.  A tail could fit in that slot, too.  Any kind of thing that sort of trails behind.

  • A tin foil hat
    Posted 15 months ago by Xyrem Subscriber! | Permalink
  • You know...a tin foil hat would be sooooo cool...especially since I think the bubble trees are on to something...just remember - just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that they aren't out to get you! :)
    Posted 15 months ago by b3achy Subscriber! | Permalink
  • That would be cool random harvest from Bubble Trees.

    Anyways +1 to all but the robot and the extra connection to the marshes from the Heights

  • Fishing and the honey bees that I've seen mentioned and anyway that will allow us to make everything needed in the food/drink recipes (not talking about fruit, bubbles, etc, but about things like oils, alcohol, etc.) ANNNNND - more food/drink recipes :)
    Posted 15 months ago by sgjo Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Hmmm sgjo, I'm thinking we need olives trees and press to make olive oil too...but I definitely agree more food/drink recipes...well, and more powder recipes, and more ingot options...and....oh, carp, you've got me on a roll...

  • Keep on rollin', b3achy...coz I'm likin' those ideas of more of everything! lmao!!

    OH!! And I am soooo anticipating being able to upgrade our property and the possibility of getting to have more than one avi!! 
    Posted 15 months ago by sgjo Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I'd like it if we were able to have more than one house at some point. Devs have already said that making more houses isn't difficult- they just push a button and *poof*. So there's not really any danger in running out of real estate, and it'd give more options (in lieu of being able to alter houses' storage and gardening).

  • water.

    beaches, lakes, rivers, floating things, underwater areas.  i want water.

  • I've seen devs in snorkeling costumes online right now.
    Posted 15 months ago by Fokian Fool Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Ohh, I like the idea of water! And snow, and lava! Someone mentioned space once too. I don't know about having more than one house. If you can upgrade your house to give it more patches (and dark patches! I want to dig out a cave-room under my lawn to grow an egg plant in), storage space etc. Then that kinda takes away the need for more than one house. Though I guess different houses do have different extras, like the barnacles and fireflies.

    I'd love to be able to put a batterfly or two in an underground home, they go well with gardens~ Oh, and encyclopedia entries for the different kinda of creatures/animals perhaps?

    The house drop boxes that someone mentioned sound like a good idea, too.
    Posted 15 months ago by Serilyn Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Loving the house drop boxes idea. And maybe a way to package things together with a note when you decide to leave such things.
    Posted 15 months ago by Little Miss Giggles Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I love the idea of house drop boxes. Someone on my last street had given everyone an Awesome Stew, and I walked past all of them for days and then they all disappeared.  It made me sad to think that their intended recipients hadn't received them.  (maybe they did, but it seemed like someone just went through the street and took them).

  • I'd like to second any and all ideas related to expanding the houses. They have so much potential. I'd love to have, as people have suggested in the past, honey combs and distilleries for the houses.

    Of course, decorations would also be wonderful. 

    I love the idea for being able to dig a cave out under your house. Being able to 'plant' a minable rock by offering a certain number of that kind of rock would be awesome. IE 'plant' a sparkly rock by offering up some even number of sparkly like fifty or a hundred. In addition to being able to plant egg plants and take care of batterflies, of course.

  • A good reason for a drop box. Since even piggy and bat turds are valuable (very!) other than nasty notes there isn't much room for abuse.
    Posted 15 months ago by Fokian Fool Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oh, and I forgot to mention. +1 for the idea of drop boxes. ;P
    Posted 15 months ago by Liza Throttlebottom Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Serilyn - yeah, I mostly meant one or the other- if not actual upgrades to a house, then multiple properties. And at some point, when the map's much more expansive, having more than one house might not be a bad idea simply to be in close proximity to your stuff (perhaps with shared cabinet space between them so you have access to your stored stuff, whatever house you're in).
    Posted 15 months ago by Djabriil Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Everyone is so concerned about getting a house they want, I think we should have some assurance that there will be enough houses of the different types available.  I for one don't relish the idea of a mad rush to get X amount of currants to buy a certain house in X neighborhood because there aren't very many of them.  It would be nice if the portals to neighborhoods would take you to a larger selection of houses.
    Posted 15 months ago by Shmoopie Kerfuffle Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oh yea, upgrading houses in any way, (especially being able to make a basement and add pens and levels) is definitely something I can hardly wait for!

  • Nerf the Assault Rifle!

    er, wait...  which forum am I on?
    Posted 15 months ago by Mr. Universe Subscriber! | Permalink
  • +1 for drop boxes, and +1 for being able to expand/customise your house more.
    (and though it's not likely, I want sheepies! (or bunnies would do) -- you could harvest fluff and turn it into string that you could weave into rugs and blankies and curtains and...stuff.)
    Posted 15 months ago by Voluptua Sneezelips Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oooooooh. Voluptua's idea +1. That would be the most wonderful way imaginable to incorporate decorations. You could make rugs and blankies and curtains to decorate your house out of sheepy wool. 

    Another thing that would be cool, and I think would add another layer of complexity to cooking, would be more kinds of meat. As it is we just have a strange sort of beef/pork hybrid. Which is pretty cool, but having chicken from chickens and lamb from the new sheepies would add a lot of recipe potential.

  • I would love to be able to sort and better organize my bags.

    +1 for the drop boxes and house decoration ideas!
    Posted 15 months ago by Spayem Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yeah, I agree. That'd be cool. :)

    I really hope the devs see these ideas and decide to pick their favorites out!
    Posted 15 months ago by Liza Throttlebottom Subscriber! | Permalink
  • If you look at the Ideas forum they've been brought up muchly, but I don't think the repetition here will hurt at all. :)
    Posted 15 months ago by Fokian Fool Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yeah that is true. xD It's hard to look up every idea and figure out if they've been brought up before. I doubt sheepies, drop boxes, and bags are new, but, as you said, repetition can only help us. :)
    Posted 15 months ago by Liza Throttlebottom Subscriber! | Permalink
  • i don't hope to see anything new when the test starts, because i don't think there will be anything new.

    i do expect a lot of new things as the test move alongs though.

    here's what i hope for..

    1] Improved Group Halls
    2] New regions with significantly different art and gameplay
    3] House customization
    4] Status updates in game
    5] iPhone companion app
    6] Vehicles/Mounts
    7] Pets
    8] Programmable Robots

    i think that may be all i would really need in the entire game, ever, in terms of general categories of things to have and do.
    Posted 15 months ago by striatic Subscriber! | Permalink
  • okay, and maybe also ..

    9] a Pony.

    not a category 6 or 7 Pony .. an actual real live Pony all my own to feed carrots and apples and sugarcubes and to watch frolic and play with all the other Ponies - which would be cute but not as cute as MY Pony.
    Posted 15 months ago by striatic Subscriber! | Permalink

  • I'd like a super tree house. a mctreehouse. :) one that corkscrews around a lovely tree with multiple levels and lovely windows (like lothlorien in LOTR). fireflies would be there and pigs could have pens. there would be gardens, not herbs (unless there were both). :)
    Posted 15 months ago by emdot Subscriber! | Permalink
  • OR I would love some super funky awesome houses (like the kinds you find in the firebogs) in a place that allows you to grow vegetables.

    i'm all about the veggies and pig pens. :)

  • A 'make cheese' button when making food, after you have discovered how to make it.
    Posted 15 months ago by Phochai Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I want to see what lurks behind that Giants encyclopedia page!
    Posted 15 months ago by Muncey Mango Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oh, on the subject of cheese, it'd be nice if there were some skill you could learn to reduce the energy needed to shake and compress and age. In the same way it's possible to reduce the energy it takes to cook.

    Also, has anyone noticed the changing skills (gas, fruit, spice, and bubble) only really speed up the process a bit? It's useful for such a short time skill, but I'd like some higher levels of the skills where the energy or the amount of base ingredient required is reduced a bit.
    Posted 15 months ago by Liza Throttlebottom Subscriber! | Permalink
  • 1.To be able to use chairs/seats/hammocks/tables in the house to either GIVE us energy, or improve our mood!!! The decorations are just so cute that I would really like to interact with them!

    2. Bigger Bags!

    3. Better variety of houses outside the Groddle areas.

    4. A house that we could ADD on to-new floor/ extra patches, instead of having to move!

    5. A symbol that shows the tree type in each big region on the map (not per street)

    6. Hot air balloon travel to be able to complete the smuggling task.

    7. Have a badge tree, in the likes of the skills tree, that tells what the next badge in line/category you could work towards. This may help keep the game interesting and challenging once all the skills are completed.

    I've got more, but that should do it for now...
    Posted 15 months ago by JJscupper Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oh, yeah, I'd like to emphasize number 7. That's something I'd definitely interested in. :) It's hard to handle as it is in alphabetical order. It's sometimes difficult to figure out if you have the best there is or not. Also, some sort of stats page or progress meter for the skills?

    Preferably the stats page would have individual stats for everything you've done like, numbers for all the trees, number of tin, copper, molybdenum rubbed, powders mixed etc.
    Posted 15 months ago by Liza Throttlebottom Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oh! That first one reminds me of something. I'd love to be able to sit. To me it just looks awkward with a whole lot of people hanging around and just standing, just being able to sit on the ground would be nice (I mean we can jump, so sitting shouldn't be too difficult right?). That way you also know if someone is intending to stay in one spot (sitting), or has just paused for a moment.

    I think someone mentioned dancing somewhere too, but that might be more complicated to do.
    Posted 15 months ago by Serilyn Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I'd like to see things added that would enable us to create all the produce/groceries needed, for example:
    1.  An Icemaker
    2.  A still (as mentioned above)
    3.  Honey bees (as mentioned above)
    4.  An oil press (as mentioned above)
    5.  Some way of making birch syrup, possibly a tree you could tap
    6.  Being able to grow mushrooms in the herb patches
    7.  Water around the place that you could collect for the icemaker and fish from for the salmon (fishing mentioned above)
    All of these would be part of the skills learnt and could be very high up in the skill tree, but it would be fun to have the opportunity to be almost self sufficient.

  • Also, if any of those came to fruition, and I'd love that :), I'd put my vote in for increasing the stack amount for all of those items. It's pretty small as is.
    Posted 15 months ago by Liza Throttlebottom Subscriber! | Permalink
  • (eep. realized i put in dreams for not this next test... but someday. maybe.)
    Posted 15 months ago by emdot Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Wow, lots of great ideas (and yes, many have been mentioned before...but good to see what is at the top of people's lists).

    Oh dear...how did I forget my desired beach houses?  Then again...that's a something in the future thing, I suspect...though there are still some of those Misc. Islands that need to be developed yet. 

    I'd love to see more than one entry point (on foot) between Grumbla and everything else...right now you only have a single point between the heights and alakol....would be nice to get at least one extended ferry to Mazza'la or the islands. Yea, there is the subway...but sometimes you just want your Glitch to get some exercise.

    +1 to sitting ability, interacting with the stuff in our houses (hammocks, sofas, chairs), achievement tree (though the script I use does sort of order them), vehicles/mounts (and more recipes for the fuel maker - gasoline, diesel, hydrogen fuel, etc.), acknowledgement of what should grow where per the trees (seed descriptions don't cover it anymore, so a symbol on the map would be nice as mentioned above).
