Hi, Ida here, also known as Mirwavata.
I find this game quite interesting. I likeed it as it's cute and the colors are comforting. I haven't played much, but after playing few hours I figured I should make a list over things that annoyed me:
* Minimap need some changes. Afer playing for more than 2 hours, I still find it confusing. It would be a better idea to make an arrow as an icon rather than a head that doesn't give any directions at all. Better to lock the minimap where the N is North constantly and have an arrow that shows the direction you're walking.
* NPC names should be shown all the time on the screen so you find them easier. With so many people around it's hard to find the right NCP for your quest for example, unless you put on the name-tags on players.
* Brinhilde Travel Information Center at the Mall Street to the west gave me a knife after going there by mistake instead of going to the east. Yet I didn't find this knife in the inventory.
* After the quest where you pick up the medicine, it says I should wear the gloves and then come back. So I did, and it still giving me the same thing about equipping the gloves. Doesn't say you HAVE to take the medicine. And you actually have to waste those potions just for the quest. :(
* Moving need a smal fix as it looks like it lags when I hold the left-button down to move around. I find that much easier to move around rather than constantly clicking everywhere. What I see is that the character stopped up at a certain point then move to next point where the mouse were at the moment the character stopped. That means when the character went from A to B, it stops at B then it moves to C (were the mouse were at the stop at B), and after reaching C, it stops again, then move to D (which is the same happening as C). Maybe make it go more smoothly rather than having it look like lag.
* Entrance to buildings should have some glow to make it easier to see where place your character to get in a building.
* When clicking on NPCs from a distance, it says I'm too far away and just stands there. Would be great if the character moved to the character automatically till it reaches a distance that will let you able to take to the NPC.
* A few minor, a lot of typos. Think I will make an own section for that later.
* A few spots where NPC loses their capital letters. Some times it says "SoS Guardian Angel" and somtimes it say "SoS Guardian angel" while having a conversation.
* A few errors when it comes to color-changing in texts. Like after completed the teleport-quest (training), the hex-code for color 00FF00 showed up in the text.
* Typos in the chat section. "Whsiper list is empty" instead of "Whisper". Also, would be an idea to put up "how-to" guide. Like how to whisper someone, shortcuts like /p for party chat and /g for guild chat.
* Action-bar should say "F1" even after you have put a skill there.
* The training-quest where you were going to talk to a vegetable girl, seem to be hard to understand. For a training-quest, it has way too little info to make it easier for a newbie to understand what to do. Markings and better guidance, like arrows should be implemented. And yeah, it's not southeast as the NPC says, but northeast..
* Re-talking to NPC after been giving out quest should make the NPC say the almost say the same thing as it will easier for a player to catch up what the quest was saying if the player clicked it away by mistake. It's confusing to be stucked on a quest where you're not able to talk to NPC to get the info you need again, instead of having to delete your quest and get it again.
* Directions for quests should be better! It's not just "over there".
More to come after I play some more ^^
