Process for adding a Wish to the Wishlist.
=======================================
This thread will be a listing of all of the ideas discussed at length already in MP board threads that would improve the Meta-Physicist Profession. It's a closed thread so that it cannot be posted to. Instead, the professionals watch out for new and good ideas that come up in the MP board that have been well discussed and found support by many. When a new idea comes up it is added to the MP wishlist by the professionals.
The reason that this will be a closed list edited by the Professionals is that we'd like to have a resource for the Community Team, the Design Team and the Dev Team to access, where they won't have to read through pages and pages of discussion and argument. Instead, they can get a quick and easy overview of ideas for improvement to MPs.
If you'd like to see something added to the MP wishlist, start a thread named MP WISHLIST: <Idea here>. Please just put the one idea in each thread so that the discussion is as focussed as it can be.
In that thread people should discuss the idea in some depth, trying to think about :
- the effects that such a change would have on the overall game,
- how well it would balance against other professions,
- how realistic the idea would be to implement
- what sort of nanos or item stats would be involved
- etc
The goal is to try to refine the idea to its best possible implementation so that the design team could essentially just pick the idea up and use it.
So an "MP WISHLIST: Creation Bow" thread would talk in depth about :
- what reqs would be required on the nanos?
- how many different bows would we like?
- what init skill should the bow use?
- what ammo would the bow use?
- what would the attack/recharge timing be?
- would the bow have stat buffs?
- would the bow have specials?
- would you include special arrows?
- at what levels should the MP be able to cast the bow?
- what requirements should the bow have?
- what sort of damage should the bow do to be useful but not overpowered?
- what range should the bow have?
- how fast should the equip time be for the bow?
- etc
I'll try to bring all of this together into an entry for the wishlist and post it into the thread for approval. If most people seem OK with the entry, I'll put it into the wishlist. Where people have been unable to come to agreement about how something might be best implemented, I'll try to capture the different options too.
Each "wish" will be put into its own posting in this thread and I'll maintain an index in the very first post with links to each index item so you can just find the subject you are interested in and click to get to the right wish description.
I look forward to seeing the MP WISHLIST: threads get started and hope for a really good in depth discussion of the ideas brought up.
