This thread is for ideas that can each be hopefully implemented fairly easily with minimal coding required. In no particular order...
Server
Playerdex
Client/Game
Future Events
Other
Server
Extend in-game AFK logout timer substantially (more players online -> snowball effect).Implemented!!- Make players visible to others even if they're AFK or not moving.
Turn "/pkmnsummary true" on by default.Implemented!!- Add Memberships and Nuggets as HR drop items, tradeable/sellable to players.
- Add NPC in dept stores that buys aforementioned Membership/Nugget Drop Items for Pd (like in handheld games).
- Add NPC that buys unwanted shinies and higher-tier Pokemon for Pd. (Probably recent OT only, just buying event/swarm pokes to start).
- Add Memberships as reward in Prize Corner and/or Battle Tower..
Add the item Amulet Coin - an item that doubles payouts from NPC / wild pokemon battles. Battle tower prize? (credit: @Cleveland ).Pansy confirmed it is coded and ready to be implemented, pending discussion.Implemented!
- Add the item "Lucky Egg" - gives 150% exp when held in battle and other items (credit: @Cleveland ).
- Fix the move "Payday" to increase payouts from NPC / wild pokemon battles (affected by Amulet Coin).
- Give tokens for PvP wins & losses. Something like 200tks for win, 25 for loss.
- Battle Tower: Make Regular Mode pay (in Pd and Exp) just like any other NPC. Give some kind of bonus for streak length.
Make Old Amber tradeable (thx Cleveland).Implemented!- Give all new accounts a free 1-week membership (existing account farming rules would apply).
Playerdex
- Hide email address by default when viewing Playerdex profiles.
- Increase friend registration referral bonus from 20 tokens to ~1000 for both parties (keeping current restrictions in place).
- Reveal the token store average shiny rate, display prominently on token store. It's roughly 1 in 80 btw.
- Increase max listing duration on Playerdex Mart (14 days?). Make items and pokemon the same maximum duration for easier Mart Log sorting.
- Make "Renew" button in Mart Log re-list things for longer (14 days instead of 3?) (or add option to automatically re-list things that don't sell).
- Enable "Compare All" when viewing other people's pokemon on Playerdex; rearrange stat columns to normal order (Speed on far right, etc).
- To fix sorting: make Mart ID# its own column on Mart Log, and make it the default sorting criteria instead of Date (or make Date sort consistently somehow).
- Add columns to Mart Log: Status (active/expired/RENEW), Description (pokemon/item name), Price, Seller/buyer name. IP address can be moved to hover text to occupy less room. Having to click each log entry to see crucial info is tedious and slow.
- Add 'Alphabetical' to Sorting Options on Playerdex (credit: @Cleveland ).
- Make Pokemon collected from Global Link go to your Active Box instead of first empty box (credit: @DH94 ).
- Change the "My Pokemon" view to mirror the "Sell Pokemon" view (Name and IVs displayed below pokemon) (credit: @Cleveland ).
- Include Global Link fees in monthly cashback system.
- Add filter to search by Hidden Power.
- Bidding system: Allow players to enter a custom bid amount. Also increase preset bid amounts. Auctions currently take FOREVER with hundreds of bids since the bid increment is so small.
- Make less colorful Playerdex theme / edit Greyscale theme.
- Adverts system: If an offer is accepted, transfer the pokemon/items automatically. Use shiny sprites if a Pokemon is shiny. Allow a player to cancel their offer -- currently you can't make a second offer unless the seller rejects your offer.
- Auto-saving in Bug Catcher / Suggestions Box / Community Watch pages, formatting tools, and Edit and Preview button.
- Open all old inactive Playerdex profiles so pokemon can be viewed. People will PM them to annoy with offers, forcing them to think about PWO again.
Client/Game
- Add prompt in PWO Installer "PWO uses Magpie (or IntegerScaler if Windows7) to provide Full-Screen support - do you want to download?" with some info (ie. freeware, portable, lightweight, not officially endorsed, etc). Use batch script to create shortcut for IntegerScaler and add -f -cc to target line?
- Make chat not scroll up when people talk if they're already scrolled down.
- Change color of channel tabs in default client skin to increase contrast. And/or change default skin to freshen things up.
Fix the backspacing bug in private messages.Implemented!Fix the disappearing text bug in chat/PMs.Implemented!Fix Pokemon & hyperlink alignment in chat (previous update improved it but 2nd/3rd row links are still unclickable/misaligned). Implemented!- Change color of Action buttons (Run, Fight, etc) once a click is registered (or improve sensitivity/adjust timegate so we don't have to spam clicks?).
- Add "View Profile (www)" and "View Mart (www)" Playerdex links to right-click context menu of in-game userlist.
Make Old Amber tradeable.Implemented!- Allow players to use any NPC/Pokemon sprite as their character sprite WITH BIKE (make masks/hats work with 'bike' too, aka fast walking like Lance) -- possible Halloween event? (credit: @Jaiku ).
- Simple local .txt log file which records wild pokemon encounters with timestamp (players can figure out how to parse it / make graphs etc).
- Simple local .txt log file to log game chat.
Future Events
- More eggs! Eggs as a drop item, eggs to be found on the maps, eggs as purchasable event items, eggs in Prize Corner and/or Battle Tower, eggs in slot machine games, etc. Lots of eggs! Allow a player to earn dozens of eggs in an event if they hunt hard enough. Eggs are amazing because they require time to hatch, forcing players to play, and they have a chance to be shiny, so there will certainly be a hot demand for any unwanted eggs. And by extension, more event vouchers! 2 Swarms with lots of eggs and counting!
- More frequent but shorter swarms (6hrs?), not announced ahead of time. Players will need to be online to know about them, leading to more players between events. Hit me up for spawn suggestions if you want.
Other
- Send mass emails to all registered inactive users; include their usernames in the email in case they forgot them.
- "Click email link to claim free ~500 tokens" (might be hard to do securely, idk).
- Transfer shiny 31 speed Lapras, Tyranitar, Jolteon and Electivire to my account.
Read these suggestions!
