A list of the most requested things

[Avril]

Hi, 

It would be nice if there were a sticky tread with the most requested and most wished for things. Then there wouldn't be any need for 100 "I want skis/dogs/friction fires/beavers/whiskey/candels/etc" every day. 

Would also be neat if it said who wished for the thing first and when. Alas, a man can only dream... or can he? 

If someone could compile a list I would not pay them, but I would surely be 33% happier in life. 

 

So long men and women.

I'd like for the moose cloak to be buffed, For as hard as it is to get, the warmth/Wind stats are pretty.... Not good.
Also, more animal type clothing would be great.
Aaaaannnnnndddddd Maybe a double barrel shotgun....   : )

I’d like to see Hinterland be more active with surveys.  Maybe have a survey where the results are public.  This way players know how the community feels about a subject in general.  Also, do quarterly (maybe) surveys about specific mechanics. Or how about a monthly question for Hinterland.  “Players what do you think about the current system that is used to control the weather?  What would you add or take away?” Again, it’s difficult for players to not only see what has been suggested, but what has not.  There could be more space for nuanced conversation if we knew from the start it was a serious consideration rather then the current forum system.  I like the wishlist, I don’t want that taken away.  That captures every idea.  I’m suggesting a place to discuss specifics.  So instead of a market place of ideas, an auditorium.  If nothing comes of a subject one month, fine we’ll talk about it again in a year.

Yes that would be absolutely amazing ! Unfortunetly that list would be looong. And I swear if there was an “ADD MULTIPLAYER” on there, Id go crazy.

Maybe the list could consist of 25 things....

There most definitely would be. It is one of the most suggested features there ever was. At the same time, its one of the least realistic ones, as given the nature of the game, it would probably be less work to code the whole game all over again then it would be to add the multiplayer option into the game. As much as I woudl enjoy multiplayer in TLD, the game is simply not build for it. At least that is the general understanding we have as a community.

Long time ago, there was a message on Twitter about Hinterland looking for game developers with experience in Co-op games of this sort. But that may have very well been for a reason of interaction with NPCs in this game, rather then a prelude to Multiplayer development. There were nothing to indicate multiplayer was getting developed since then. It is possible, but I wouldnt hold out much hope.

There was a list like this a while ago but I believe the person who did it stopped visiting forums and as such it was discontinued. There are issues with selecting the list like this - how far would one go? How to include widely different suggestions to a same idea (aka two different approaches to how a multiplayer should work, for example) and so on.

Someone who dives into the past suggestions using the search feature might find this past post.
