QoL Suggestion Thread

[Randomness21]

U can already kill positive renown npc’s as a positive renown player with no downside

O wait u meant boss npc’s

[Keiko]

can you? was that added with FR or something

i was mostly referring to the gravy minibosses, since they have important drops

[Randomness21]

I feel like I’ve killed them before as a hero, but I rlly don’t remember

[Keiko]

ill go test on amelia rq, ik you can kill delamere though (at least i think you can)

[Yummers]

Qol? In my Odyssey???

[Keiko]

yeah as i remembered correctly, positive renowns cannot kill navy bosses

therefore, you cannot acquire Commodore Kai’s Sabre nor Rear Admiral Amelia’s Cloak by yourself on a hero file. (what that suggestion seeked to fix)

[Awesome_Wafflez]

to try to add onto the list:

there should be a toggle in settings that enables your positive effects/abilities (i.e. positive potion effects, enchantment, & rally banner) to also apply to other players that aren’t in the same party as you. countless times would i raid fort montu/castrum or fight king caesar with other people and all my supportive capabilities are useless because they wouldn’t accept my party invites

oh yeah and also to make it so that if you’re not in a party with somebody but you can’t attack each other, whether it’s through pvp setting or zone (ex. forts), your abilities can’t clash with theirs and can’t target them. i’ve had many annihilation spells evaporated from player attacks as well as lots of my elementals spamming me with pvp protection notifications… all when pvp is disabled

not sure how i didnt come up with this considering i quite literally did a fort montu raid earlier and was like “man i wish i could use enchantment on these guys!”

there could be some mistakes though, like if an enemy walked into your enchantment while you were casting it, and now you just buffed your own enemy, so maybe if youre in combat with them, they’ll be excluded (doesnt matter for pvp off players, and benefits pvp players)

fair enough

added 10th convenience and 6th misc suggestions, both suggested by @Awesome_Wafflez

7th misc suggestion as well

[Keiko]

8th misc suggestion

[puffark]

vetex take notes

[Waddle]

deckhand storage and fleets being account wide is needed af

fleets are expensive and time consuming to make so having 1 for all files is needed (i have 6 files and i only play on 1 now cause of fleet rewards being locked on my main)

I run 4 ramming deckhands and i love it for ship combat (9k ram damage go boom, would be 11k+ but i have to invest in ram def now), but goddamn it sucks when i do literally anything else that isn’t ship combat. I don’t even blame people for going 4 speed deckhands when its clearly the best option.

Should also add that u cant have the same profession deckhand on the ship at a time (no triple navigator/shipbuilder build and if you do have it cause of the bug you just locked into keeping the crew u have)

[Keiko]

i had an idea yesterday and i meant to write it down but i forgot

[qwimmzon]

they gotta add ship and camp spawnpoints overriding story spawns cause oh my gosh if i have to spawn at wind one more time im gonna tweak out

[Keiko]

i think it should be a choice, but ill add this in and credit you

added

[qwimmzon]

nonono not server, i mean LITERALLY spawn

current situation where anytime i die i get sent to story location, thats the issue

[SoupSlurper]

@Keiko

also yes that is the most run-on sentence probably ever constructed, shit has like 5 different coordinating conjunctions

Holy shit you’re right lmao
anyways all of these are incredible

Also, I’m just now questioning what the effort rating is supposed to be for. Is it how much effort it’d take for the feature to be added?

I’m pretty sure it’s for how much effort the OP put into making the post. Reasonability covers that.

@Keiko

3rd- Fleets are now account-wide, completing the fleet quest on a new file will sync that files fleet to your current strongest fleet. Active follower counts and gain, and everything related to fleets is synced.

I would probably 100 more hours into AO and have a genuine incentive to purchase more slots over just using an alt if this were the case

[TheoreticalExistence]

On the topic of fleet QoL, can we just axe desertion/sinking as a feature and just have your fleet suffer some other penalty instead?
Like producing less and less or outright stopping if you neglect it.

Needing to re-farm for ships I already grinded for because I don’t constantly pay attention to my fleet feels awful and its gotten to a point where I just keep my fleet turned off so I don’t have to worry about it.
