  1) This is multiple related items in the vein of a Banking/Finance revamp
  
  

  
  
  • Add in new, bigger gold pouches. Ideally something in the 3x3, or even 4x4 size that can hold 500k.
    
    Even at 4x4 for 500k the best alternative in that space is 8 Lorna/Pan Gold boxes with a capacity of 400k, so they're still an improvement, and making them 3x3 would be a huge space saver to people who do a lot of moderately expensive NPC transactions. A complete set of repairs for some people can take half a dozen trips to the bank to "reload", or requires an entire inventory of pouches just to handle it. With the other financial limits expanded and containers added this feels overlooked.
    
    
  • Show bank balance in your inventory with your normal gold balance.
    
  • Make it so you can deposit a check from anywhere by right clicking it and choosing deposit.
    
  • Make it so you can do repairs charged straight to your bank. (This may make the first change pointless except for people who want to be able to accrue massive amounts before dumping in the bank)
    

  
  
  2) Split archery related skills into their own separate skill tab to properly recognize them as an independent skill set. There are enough of them to warrant the decluttering and not having done this is one of my disappointments for the Archery revamp. It's win-win, things get easier to find/keep track of, 2x bonuses don't cover such a wide area and Nexon can sell more specifically targeted boosts in the cash shop.

  [SPOILER="Customization Update"]
  Part 1, Style Tab:
  

  [Image: http://ft.trillian.im/d8946682d6c7da7bef24121282783a3ada1b2a88/6zudhydzMgbGlnBc8eFmb29xopoSj.jpg]

  
  

  
  
  • Hats, Wigs, Glasses/Goggles, Earrings, Animal Ears, etc given separate style tab slots.
    
  • Also change them so they do not occupy the same joint IDs. (There aren't of most of these item types, this is doable.)
    
  • These items can all be enchanted/reforged/etc as they do now, but you can only equip one of them in the non-style tab headgear slot.
    
  • Items that are two in one, such as Diva Wig with Earrings, should only show the Earrings if in the Earring slot and only show the Wig if in the Wig slot.
    
  • A new slot added for Poses of outfits. When an equipment is put into this slot, the player will use that clothing's idle animation when barehanded regardless of what else is equipped, but that item will not show up on the player. If an outfit that has no pose is put here and an outfit in any other slot does have a pose, the pose will be cancelled.
    
  • Wings get a separate slot from Robes, allowing you to wear them both at once.
    
  • Why should you do this? It would give more incentive into purchasing the Style Tab slots and let players purchase more items from both the cash shop and other players, in addition to dyes, prolonging the games life with little effort. Adding a separate slot for Poses would also convince players to buy all the new Clothing Bag and Gachapon outfits for their poses too, not just their outfits.
    

  
  
  Part 2, Dressing Room:
  

  
  
  • Currently when playing a Giant and going into the dressing room or rebirth interface, each hairstyles have four versions to account for having different variations of beards and being beardless. This doesn't make sense because each beard is a separate model already, you don't have four models of each hairstyle. Beards should be separated into their own customization tab, like how Eyes, Mouth, and Face type are separated.
    
  • A Mustache facial option in the Beard tab would be appreciated too. The ones in the facial markings are flat textures, I would like modeled ones. At the very least, the current giant beard that has a beard and mustache should be edited to have a version with just the mustache.
    
  • The same beards that giants have should be scaled for humans too.
    
  • Face should be divided into two separate tabs, Ears and Face Shape.
    
  • All Elf and Human Face Shapes should be available to both races.
    
  • Elf Ears should only be usable with Elves and usable regardless of what Face Shape is chosen.
    
  • Giants currently only have one Face Shape, more being added would be appreciated.
    
  • Elf and Giant Henna, and Facial Markings should be separated into their own tab like Eyes and Mouths are, allowing them to be used regardless of Face Shape or Ear Type, and not requiring you to make new models for each Facial Marking.
    
  • Similar to Mabinogi: Heroes, Hair Styles should be purchasable in Wig form. These Wigs can be used in the Headgear slot and the Wig Style Slot, but cannot be dyed and are fixed to the color selected at purchase.
    
  • Why should you do this? In the short term this would influence many players to buy a lot of appearance changes in a burst, as did happen in the past when Facial Markings and other Dressing Room updates were added. This'd also increase the individuality of each character. The Wig feature would also allow players to change hair on demand and give them incentive to pay more to get the hairstyle they want in the color they want. It'd also convince them to buy the Style Tabs if part 1 is also implemented.
    

  
  [/SPOILER]
  
  Debating whether I should rush my dungeon idea post for this, I think it'd be too hard to translate.

  Vindictus has a customization system where if ya bought hair in one color, it is permanently unlocked. Basically a wig without taking up inventory space. I believe Mabinogi should adopt this. Heck, turn all wigs into unlocked store options. If ya want to put hair into the gatcha, have it unlock with a coupon.
• Xanjile wrote on 2015-06-23 00:47
  1.Make every limited time only content available on the Cash Shop i.e Limited time pets permanent, but at a higher price (Bone Dragon 16000NX>20000NX), and the lower it as if was a limited time again( Price is lowered up to a certain date, then raised again after it).
  -This is so that new players are at a bit of an equal advantage despite joining the game late, which maybe leads to more revenue.
  
  Not sure if this makes sense, and can't think of idea 2 yet.

  AoE Pets
  Now has a Universal Cooldown of 1 minute.

  
  Wouldn't that cause big problems for people who just want to browse items they have stored on those pets? I would rather AoE not happened upon summon anymore, but to be a manually activated skill with cooldown.
  
  Now that I think about it, I have an idea.
  Improve Wind Guard - as something that's supposed to be an equivalent of Final Shot/Hit it's pretty underwhelming. With that said: allow moving around (50% speed at rank F, 100% at R1), drinking potions and using magic bolts with WG active.

  I meant the AoE effect(skill), summoning the pet itself will be unchanged.

  I'd prefer just walking and every skill limitation removed except for Charge. Being able to run with it would make it vastly superior over Defense.

  Don't worry. Windguard will get the final hit treatment.
  
  Immunity from damage and CC for 30 seconds with a 5 minute cd. All skills/pots/running usable.

  Fixed. WG's cooldown is that much at all ranks currently.

  Can we sujest them to make a REAL auction in the game?
  Housing board is ok and personal shops are fine but I wish we had something that work toward offerings and auto wins like alot of other MMOs out there.
  Make party advertisement actually be a selling advertisement while doing some changes to it.
  
  While we are at it, do something about public party advertisement or promote in a way that people will actually use party boards to get things running such as a shadow mission.

  Guild Changes
  Guilds need a big revamp. For example I would like to see a new guild system where guilds earn points doing sm, theatre missions, dungeons, raids in guild parties. With the points that the guild earn from these different runs, the guild can improve its level unlocking different kind of bonus such as + % exp bonus earned for all guild members, or new skills such as guild member teleport (the leader can summon 1 guild memebr once per in game day). Secondly I would like to see a couple of guild dungeons divided in different stages where in each stage guild members have to fight monsters or coordinate themselves (for example: 3 members have to reach different points in the map while the other 5 have to hit different orbs in a specific order). Then I would like to see more guild rewards or achievements linked to what i wrote before.

  Hey guys,
  
  
  Just to be clear... Post your ideas here.
  
  I've been getting pms with people wanting me to submit their ideas, while it is lovely to read in PMs... I want you to post it in this thread so it can be read by everyone.
  
  
  
  Thanks,

  Idea 1: This is just a pet peeve I've had but, can we make the running animation with shuriken less derpy, something similar to the normal walking animation would be fine perhaps simply leaning forward slightly, the idle aggressive animation could remain the same for the joke factor/ because the auto attacks come out of it.
  
  Idea 2: Redesign the entire theater mission system. It's rare that anyone would want to run the theater missions in Avon unless they are looking for an item that can only be acquired from there. The missions are in great need of a revamp and I feel like allowing Lanier or Marlowe to sell the the passes would be a step in the right direction. The passes should only come in one difficulty (similar to martial arts) and are split into scenes (as it is already) with each scene you leave the mission, receive the next mission, and receive the rewards from the previous part (a chest should be located at the end of each scene with the rare drops only occurring from the final chest). Additionally while in theater missions allow the use of barrier spikes, campfires and ice mines.
  
  Any suggestions on making this better/ comments on why this wouldn't work are appreciated.

  Quote from squirelT;1279791:

  There is very little reason to ever rank the production skills and as they require large money and time investment I always felt like you deserved more for having ranked them. I suggest making it so that you can repair using the skills. The success rate and materials required should be the same as when attempting to craft it. Additionally repairs should be included in the training requirements for these skills to make it slightly easier to rank.
  
  IE Gladius requires 2 copper, silver, and iron ingots and at least one use left on its manual. If successful it fully repairs the item and if not it loses a point of durability.
  
  Any suggestions on making this better/ comments on why this wouldn't work are appreciated. I really just feel like the production skills exist for no reason other than to craft a small handful of items that would actually be cheaper just to buy than rank up the skills associated with them.

  
  
  While I kind of like the suggestions, I'm not gonna say there is "very little reason" to rank life skills.
  Life skills are crucial when you're capping stats. Int? Engineering, MC, Blacksmithing. Dex? Pretty much 75% if life skills, including tailoring, which by the way, isn't useless, as you need it for crafting Rosemary Gloves or crafting Druid Robes, which can be of nice profit. Str? Carpentry, MC, Engineering, all three of right now which produce goods that are highly popular (Shurikens, Wands for blaze, Crossbows, CRK, etc). From a sub-3k level point of view, especially a Giant, who don't really depend on dex much, might view life skills as returning minimal rewards and therefore not worth, but to majority of the population, Humans and Elves, the stats from life skills itself is good enough of a reason to rank them.
  
  The biggest problem I see with this suggestion is this can be easily abused for high repair cost items. For example, you could put on Cartel 67th Floor's on an expensive lance (which has been done before, by the way), and get away with 176k repair point by waiting for Monday and using their respective rank 1 skill to repair at 99%. These modifiers were meant to give you higher repair cost in exchange of superior stats. By offering this suggestion, you'd essentially be breaking the opportunity cost.
  
  Now onto my ideas...
  
  [SPOILER="Archery"]Clearly, the renovation didn't quite meet majority of the player's standards, so I'd like to give my few cents.
  
  Heavy Ranged skills
  
  - Both skills get 35% increased aiming speed than before
  +Reason: Even though the renovation's aiming system did help, this would really help reach archery's full potential
  
  - Crash Shot cool down is decreased
  *Human rF-rB: 6 seconds, rA-r6: 5.5, r5-r2: 4.5, r1: 4
  *Elf rF-rB: 5, rA-r6: 4.5 r5-r2: 3.5, r1: 3
  *Elves get 10 more dex in total, one more dex than before from r6 - r2, and 5 more in r1 from this skill.
  +Reason: While Crash Shot can do impressive damage, it's plagued by the fact that the execution time is even slower than pre-dynamic. I want Mabinogi to encourage players to be able to specialize in something without lagging behind. Sadly, Crash Shot is behind Shooting Rush or Kunai storm in terms of common viable use because of the long cool down, especially for Elves, who fall behind in damage for Shooting Rush and Kunai Storm due to lack of STR. The significantly decreased cool down for Elves will not only make up for their less damage in Gunner and Ninja, but also fitting more into the concept of Elves being noticeably better archers. Right now, Elves still are better archers, but in no way of significant margin. As for the additional dex part, I will explain that later.
  
  -Elf Magnum Shot's damage increased by 10%. Simply multiply 1.1 to the original multiplier. Human's magnum shot cool down decreased to 1 second.
  +Reason: Going along with the above, Elves need a distinct advantage in archery, and I think this should do it. Not a HUGE bonus, but definitely a noticeable one. As for the humans, I believe humans shouldn't be discouraged from archery just because of other skills that can out DPS it, and I think this should help out.
  
  Other skills
  
  -Urgent Shot now automatically loads upon missing a shot. Simply click on the target shortly after missing (~.5 seconds)
  +Reason: There is absolutely no reason to load any other skill after missing as most of the time, it will be Magnum Shot or Crash Shot, both of which have the CD i mentioned or longer. Others skills being loaded right after missing can still miss, so that would be pointless. This should make the skill a bit more easier and accessible to use.
  
  -Mirage Missile
  *The damage formula is changed to [Base Damage + Damage Enchants + (Int/5+Dex/3)] * Damage Modifiers (BFO, bone chip, arrows, elemental reforge)
  *Each damage ticks adds an additional 15% each time, upto 105% at the end
  *Gives 10 more dex in total, one more dex than before from r6 - r2, and 5 more in r1
  +Reason: Right now this skill is viewed as a joke. I may or may not be going overboard with this suggestion, but I believe that this is the place the the skill deserves, especially being a race-specific skill. This would put Mirage Missile in an at least a viable place, working as another Hydra Transmutation, a plus in terms of versatility. Again, I want the players to be able to happily invest/main in a skillset without feeling like they lost something.
  
  -Final Shot
  *Duration increased to 40 seconds at rank 1, progress matching that of Final Hit.
  *CD reduced to 240 seconds at rank 1, progress matching that of Final Hit.
  *Duration reforge increased from .5 second per level to 1 second per level
  *20 more dex gained from this skill, 2 more dex added from r9-r2 and 4 more dex added in r1.
  *New reforge: Skill CD reduction (the reduction that FS allows other skills during the duration) level: 1% per level, additive, enabled for hats and accessories (20 level and 3 level)
  *New reforge: Final Shot Teleportation Distance: Same bonus as Final Hit distance, enabled for shoes as well
  +Reason: This has always been an overlooked skill, because well, even though it still allows Elves to have highest DPS in the game in the time it allows, it's pretty short for an "ultimate" skill, and hence has been somewhat underwhelming. The increased duration and reduced CD should be able to put this skill on the list of other top dog skills, and the new reforge should add more utility to this skill, making it truly a nice skill to have in Mabinogi (Skill CD reduction = more indirect DPS).
  
  -Other things
  *Ranged skills can be now loaded during counterattack animation.
  +Reason: Not sure if this is a bug or not, but not being able to load archery skill and putting your character on a short lock down is silly and contrasts logic.
  
  Now, all in all, I wish these changes to be made, as I want to see more love for Elves and archery in general. Hence why I put down more Dex bonus for Elves, along with number of other benefit, to make them actually significantly better in archery, not just marginally. I've played briefly in KR servers as well before starting in NA server, so I come from a pretty long time ago, and as one of the older players, I want to see a point where people are more satisfied with what they have pursued.
  [/SPOILER]
  
  [SPOILER="Close Combat"]
  
  -Bash
  *All damage for each rank reduced by 30% relative to the before.
  +Reason: As much as I enjoy using this skill, I think it's way too powerful, to the point where some people believe Smash is completely useless. I still see it as a skill that focuses on DPS and hence should out-DPS Smash, but the amount we see right now is simply too high. This change would make that issue a bit better, and make Smash not so much reliant on reforge and Combo cards to compete with this skill for DPS.
  
  -Final Hit
  *CD reforge reduced from 1.5 to 1 second.
  *Duration reforge reduced from 6 to 4 seconds.
  +Reason: Another skill I enjoy, but I think the reforge gives give way too utility in reforges compared to how much damage it does.
  
  -Windmill
  *You can now use all skills during the spinning animation that aren't Life, Alchemy, Transformation, Demigod, Crusader, and Magic skills.
  +Reason: Ease of access. Also would benefit archers more.[/SPOILER]
  
  [SPOILER="Other things"]
  
  -PvP (requested PvPs)
  *Players will not take elemental reforge effect
  *The lowest damage % you can fight in is .1% instead of 1%
  +Reasons: This change should make PvP more interesting/fun instead of tilting it to the side whoever has higher elemental reforge. Right now, if done right, someone could literally Magnum Shot 3 times for 40k+ and be done with PvP.
  
  -Guilds
  *Have more Guild quests available. For example, have Guild quests for completing dailies, MA, raids, killing certain mobs, dungeon, making something, etc, and the rewards are Guild Points.
  *Guild leader can decide to use the Guild Points for temporary boost that lasts for 1 week for all Guildies, such as exp increase, skill training increased, group effect, etc.
  +Reasons: More of a way for Guild members to get together and be motivated as I see it, and giving people a reason to actually join a guild.
  
  -Housing
  *Make it actually like a house. Have tools like oven in the house, as well as interactive NPCs instead of house brownies, such as maids, housekeeper that will sell general goods, etc. Also option to build a two story house.
  +Reason: More of an interactive issue. Right now Housing is only used as a shop, and I want it to be more than that.
  
  -Gears
  *Have Magnum Shot enhancement from Bohemian set be applied multiplicative with elemental reforges, not additive. *Give WM enhancement to NA version of DK armors as well.
  +Reason: It's silly that Bohemian Set does this while Thames set doesn't. Also, more love for Windmill and limited edition armors.[/SPOILER]
  
  Those are my two cents.
