A bunch of suggestions that I kept thinking about for a while now. (Ham's tedtalk)
#6
(08-05-2020, 04:01 PM)Alright, Mister Nagare. Time to get to it... Ham Wrote:
Number one, the DMI thing. I'll make it as brief as i can: 256kbs is fucking pathetic for a size, and marching bands and music having around 2mbs of a size limit is weird considering DMIs are more vital and everyone can afford one, unlike music which can be situational and in this case, only used in battles.
So, why? Why is the DMI size limit still 256 when it can obviously go further without that much trouble? It just results in a major quality loss due to compression and in the worst situations, loss of really good facial expressions that could have made a difference and affected the emergence of the rp.

Well. 256kb can net you anywhere from, on average, 14-25 Colored FIs and about 40-70 black and white FIs or lower quality FIs. Mostly a matter of just properly cropping and resizing them and compressing them in a good manner. This is pretty fine unless you're trying to get literally over 100 FIs for some reason or just used a questionable program to recolor things which added way more bloat to the image than anything else. So, as always. My opinion amounts to "I wouldn't mind an increase but it's really not needed due to the possibilities at the moment."

Number two, more stamps- while this isn't a major complaint of mine nor is it as big of an importance as the DMI point, ryu brought up the fact that there is still empty space in the log book once you complete all tasks and stamps and it kinda made me give it a big ol' thonk, so eh, wouldn't hurt to suggest one or two more I guess.

Sure.
Number three and four, Fern brought up something similar before in this same forum, but I'd like to take it abit Further. I'll be honest, the pattern gets in the way sometimes and the style of the profile image's border can make some colors look weird, but in other cases it looks pretty fucking stylish.
So here's my suggestion: Instead of keeping the 'change type' as 'do you want the default colors? or custom ones?', we change it to 'well there's style 1 aka default, style 2 aka plain, etc etc...' and the same goes for the background. I feel like it might give some profiles alot more identity and flair and can be alot of fun.
Now I could also suggest custom patterns but as you read in the summary, can be abit hard to pull off i feel. But I also have some hope.

Sure. As long as players can change it manually on their side to be normal in case somehow eyes burn.
Number five, So basically people enjoy iconning sometimes, and those same people sometimes look at the current icons we have and go 'hmm something's missing'. Like a bunch of Kimonos and stuff.
Now that's not saying what we currently have is Bad, just... if you've ever played Dragon Universe you'd know just how much people enjoy having freedom over their overworld sprites because of the endless possibilities that can be pulled of while not restrained by the shackles of 'we don't have that yet'. and I believe that waiting for someone to icon and submit an icon that you'd enjoy (a new kimono for example) would make you have to wait till it's approved and added to the game if ever.

Already said sure to this in the past. Wouldn't care if it was locked behind Regalia memes either.
Number six, there's... not much to this one tbh, I've just been playing some castlevania and went 'man I wish they expanded upon the whips in sl2'. So feel free to ignore this one, it's just my dumb brain going 'woah bro what if'.

Commit more whip.
Number seven, I enjoy BGMs, alot of people do. But sometimes I get sad when a theme I enjoyed having is suddenly pulled off from youtube and I can't vibe to it in my profile anymore. So perhaps a way to link other sites like soundcloud that have some themes that might not be on youtube? I dunno.

I mean. Why not? Not much of a strong opinion on this one since I just download music then upload it to random youtube accounts I have. So never really had an issue beyond twice with it.
Number eight, now I enjoy visiting other places in sl2... sometimes. If it weren't for the fact that some places just feel so empty and lifeless. Giving people a reason to visit other places sounded like the most ideal decision to me, just imagine, ice skating in Lispool or something.
It doesn't even have to be complex, I'm not asking for BeyBlade battles in Alstalsia nor NetNavi battles in Karaten, just... something fun and lively, to bring life back to those places.

Mostly an issue of the players and some of the maps being too big in general. Even if that kinda stuff would be there, players would still need an express reason to be there, both for the integrity of their IC and the player base as a whole giving you a reason to be there rather than waiting in a lifeless area.

LFGing tends to fill the places momentarily with life. But that's about it. Players give people a reason to visit other places and that's about it.

That's all, folks! Time for the afterword.
So, this was a thing and a half. I hope my lack of experience and professionalism in this didn't make it too un-comprehensible.
Basically, I enjoy this game for the most part despite it's flaws, but that's why I also want to see it grow past what it is right now, into what it can be, future's now and all that. I hope you all had fun reading this, just like how I had fun writing it. Feel free to comment your other suggestions or to call me a fucking idiot for my weird and dumb ideas.

Thank you for coming to my tedtalk.
Sincerely, that one edgy asshole.

Alright. Enjoy the 10 years in the jail cell, Mister Nagare.
