These are some really good ideas, that IMO deserve their own topic.Tarlin wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2018 5:19 pm I love the saying, "Rules are meant to be broken!" Yes, that is why we have jails. lol (which I love seeing that this game actually has)
I would love to see special skins given for special reasons. I do think that it is pretty cool seeing all the players that have a unique skin. So far my favorite is Mrs. Purple Dragon GM . If I ever become eligible for a skin I think I would choose something along those lines, even though my favorite animal is a wolf. Being new in game and seeing all the unique skins is rather inspiring, but after reading these forums thoroughly and learning the progression of how the skins came about it really is a little disheartening.
I fully agree that a special skin setup should be given for SPECIAL reasons. A player developed a new map; created and got implemented a new series of quests into the game; coded new mobs or new interactive structures for the developer that got placed into the game; reported some game altering bug/exploit and got it fixed, etc. etc.
Maybe since special skins have essentially become a 'purchasable' item, we could come up with a new system to highlight these type of player achievements. It would be nice to see a title system in the game. Player names are already displayed below their character, but for a character who reports and aids in the fixing of a bug/exploit maybe their name could read:
Bug Smasher
Tarlin
Or something to that effect. Additionally, when you inspect that player maybe their could be a clickable tab that shows all player titles, dates awarded, and for what. Sort of like an achievements system. This would be able to highlight a players personal contribution to the game and delineate them from someone who just bought 1500 levels for a skin.
just my 2 cents.
I encourage you to make a post in Suggestions about it.
Ways to honour contributions to the game, or similar
It is already common, to get written into the game in some fashion... many have been added already, and I know that more are coming
Yours truly may even have a mention or two....
