ok i think most ppl know that i have absolutely no faith in the suggestions forum and honestly dont believe any thing suggested there effects the game in anyway
however after a very resent post made by mistirl.... mynstryl ... mistyl...... the forum gm guy that posts every now and again i went and done some checking on the ask the devs thingie
TailChaser: Are there plans on reducing the percent experience loss on death at higher levels? Especially at the 70+ levels.
Hello TailChaser! We will consider it. For now, there is a system in Chronicle 5 that prevents you from losing experience in war zones.
hmmm
DMF: Are you thinking of remaking some really good items in game for example (S grade) to bind on players or an alliance?
Hello DMF! Currently, we are considering adding this system for valuable items.
well a bit overboard but ok.....
could swear i seen more in there but i guess this might be enough
could tailchaser have the first verified suggestion ever to be implemented in game?
did the koreans already suggest it first?
will batman ever escape the clutches of dr evil?
I remember a suggestion some time ago that event rewards include stacks of materials as well as scrolls, potions and the like. Then we got the event (Halloween, I think) where stacks of mats dropped from event mobs.
There have been quite a few implemented suggestions.
I remember whining about how pets did not get the level-up celebratory graphic with the lights and feathers. Some time later, its in there. Also, I made a suggestion for a duel system outside of the clan war system. Its comming in Interlude (last i read). Those things may have come up before or elsewhere. This is just what I noticed.
I think the forum works. It just can take a while. Something may not get implemented for a lot of different reasons. Just because the idea was loved or hated on the boards doesn't mean they will/won't implement it. We have to keep in mind everybody we know is not "everybody.". (Period in quotes for emphasis.) The duel idea had one reply of basicly, "No. Just pvp."
Shoot.. the very first suggestion that I remember being implemented was when healers flagged purple when healing a red.
There have been many, many others.
I think everyone forgets how games are made...
You do realise that right now, the Dev's are probably mostly finished with the second Interlude, it is most likely in internal testing. They are probably discussing the list of things that they have in mind for the 3rd interlude, and are reviewing all of the suggestions to see what fits with their vision for the game. The second Interlude is only about 3-4 months away from Korean PTS you know!
Now certainly, if they find something critical, they might pull Interlude 2 out of internal testing, and tweak it, but I doubt they are too willing to make any major change to it at this point.
Keep in mind that we are 3 months behind Korea, and the Dev's are probably nearly a chronicle ahead of the Korean playerbase. That means we're about 9 months behind the Dev's. So a suggestion you make now, even a good one, is more than 2 updates away for us. (unless it's something really important)
I've once suggested removing focus from rez confirmation dialog, so that chatting at the same time does not cancel the rez attempt. And they implemented it literally... I mean, they made the change only for the rez popup, all other popups with exactly the same problem remain untouched.
There will be no 'second interlude', there will be a 'first throne'.
That aside, yup, plenty of things like this. I had a *very* lengthy whine (which I now deeply regret) about giving summoners various kinds of non-DD pets ... gosh.
Usually, to see a suggestion implemented in the game, it needs to have the support of the Korean playerbase as well. IE, it might come from us, but Korea needs to be talking about it, too.
That or another game needs to be doing it, too, so that NCS can see it in action and make a dog's job of stealing it for L2.

well thats pretty much my thoughts
its prolly a bit naive to think that what we suggest has never been suggested in korea after all they have more ppl than us and have been playing longer
word is we have more open pvp than them so one of those suggestions might pop up here before over there but im pretty sure korea will spot game design flaws and make suggestions before we even get to play PTS of whatever chronicle they have been playing for X amount of months
To name a few that I know have been highly debated then added:
Fishing, REZing out side of party, more skills, More weapons. More people able to fly a wryvm. More halls, More fight-able halls.
Change to balance in PvP (yes it still needs triking).
I know it's a farcry for all the wants, But we can't expect what we say now to make it into "Interlude," or the Expansion following "Interlude". but it's possible to end up sooner or later.

i have no doubt that what we suggest here has been added, what i am questioning is if a suggestion made only by us, meaning not by the koreans or thought of by the devs has ever been implemented

so then why are you asking here? You need to ask the korean community if anything has been added from the NA players that they never thought of. How are we suppose to know if the koreans every talked about certain stuff before or not?
The way you just made that post, I think you wrote it wrong. Do you really mean that the koreans never talked about? Or do you mean the the NA players talked about, then the korean got word of it and talked about it also? Big difference cause Im sure everything we have talked about here, they have too. I seriously doubt that anything on these forums that has been put into the game never once was talked about in korea.
Now, the reason I say all this is cause the Korean team, they make post and polls asking about stuff. So if we thought of something and it was then relayed to the korean team as a suggestion, they probably ask their community about it and heard what they wanted also. This method would nullify your comment about them never talking about it.
well i dunno if there was a thread for this but when c5 came out with the buff/hp/mp herbs i made a huge deal about it, not affecting summons, on Lineage radio and it was updated in the next update.
name one suggestion that was posted in suggestions section that was met that effected just the NA server.
that is impossible to do, and even something that just effects the korean servers as every update we get, they get it to and no matter what he update is, it will have some sort of effect of players. Also, every update they get, we get too (not counting events). This is how we got Gameguard. At first all the GM's, including HGMspam said we would never get it cause it does nothing. A month or so later, we got it cause the koreans got it.
