PvP, Guilds, Leaderboards, Tresure chests, flying options on traveling.

I think it would be fair to comment on features that AE themselves have implemented in their other games, so I'm going to talk about features that I kind of like from there other mainline games. I've mentioned some of these ideas in other topics, but I think it's nice to see these ideas with each game listed.

AQWorlds > One feature I miss is the faction system of cutscenes where the initial dialogue you picked could play a different outcome for the rest of the dialogue. AQWorlds used this concept for factions (Good/Evil/Chaos) quite a lot in the early years of the game, but their best implementation of it was probably in the Vordred arc.

HeroSmash > Face customization from HeroSmash where you could customize facial expressions. This is still a must-have feature, and would just add more personality. I'm just tired of characters always looking grumpy or unhappy.

EpicDuel > Turn-based battles and skill trees in EpicDuel were kind of fun; I get that AQ3D is all about real-time combat, but I think just for AQ3D's dueling system, turn-based combat would be more strategic rather than about luck and whoever has the more powerful gear. And having a skill tree would allow more variety in a class.

AQ Classic > Nonplayable helpers; AQ Classic had helpers like Robina, Aquella, Artix, etc. that you could call during any battle. AQ3D sort of explored this in Ashfall with helper NPCs like Senna, Kord, etc., but it's very limited to those dungeons that the NPCs spawn in, and I feel like this feature could have more uses, like in private dungeons (if a player chooses not to play in a public dungeon).

DragonFable > A better story.

MechQuest > I did like the idea of having something as cool as mechas (your very own giant battle machine), but that wouldn't really work in AQ3D since the genres are different (MQ being more sci-fi and AQ3D being more fantasy). I think the closest thing that would be as cool as mechas would be mounts (and they could be useful in battle as well).

 

In game voice chat in partys there are others but really like that.

 

There's always Discord for that sort of stuff; like if you're using a PC, you really don't need an in-game voice chat since you can open up an application like Discord. And I really doubt AE's going to add their own voice chat, because they'll have to moderate that and it would probably be a mess anyway, especially with people trolling and blowing up their soundboards.

Also, I don't see much purpose in a voice chat anyway. There's not a whole lot of coordination in dungeons like there is in other MMORPGs like WoW, and AQ3D isn't really the kind of game where you have more to lose at stake anyway.

 

I just would like it cause discord lags when in game on mobile an I only want it cause the keyboard is crap on iOS no auto correct or anything, you’re right there isn’t voice you need for a hard dungeon because it’s all easy.

 

If typing is the issue on a phone, I would seriously recommend setting text replacement shortcuts. I use text replacement all the time for /join commands and for common phrases.

On iOS, you can go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement, and then you can click on the + sign to add your phrase and shortcut.

One thing you might want to consider is prefixing shortcuts with symbols like /, ., ;, @, etc. That way your regular text messages don't conflict with your shortcuts. For instance, I prefer using / for commands, . for general messages, and @ for messages addressed to a person.

Examples:
Phrase: /join doomwoodforest
Shortcut: /dw

Phrase: Can anybody help me with this dungeon?
Shortcut: .dungeon

Phrase: How are you today?
Shortcut: @greeting
