    Default Things that should be added to dimensions, dev's check it out

    Hello,
    honestly im sure im not the only one who feels this way about this here is a list that the player base would enjoy.
    Mist great touch to add detail to you're lakes ect.
    an Auction House guy! running back and forth is annoying come on its you're dimension you should have everything you need there right? and also, a mail box! it would be a GREAT touch being able to make you're dimension a home.. literately that you dont have to leave. instead of going back and forth to interact with the world. it is you're house after all...
    and WINDOWS!!! cant really be creative without a window
    peaceable water pools, fountans.
    and when dealing with smaller items can you plase the axis arrows on the outside so you can see where you're placing them.
    and a bank forgot the bank since you cant place you're personal banker there.
    so please feel free to post you're thoughts on this. im sure there is a similar post out there.

    I asked them about more NPCs during the livestream, and the answer Faratha gave was that they're very graphics and system intensive. That they require a lot more scripting. She said they'll probably add more, but the word used was, "sparsely." Unfortunately I really wouldn't expect a bank/AH NPC, and I assume this is the reason we can't summon the bank/mailbox into our dimension. The best I think we'll get is a few more like Nico, or the statues (which do count as NPCS). If you want to hear her answer for yourself it starts at about 49 minutes in the latest livestream at twitch.tv/trionworlds.

    As for the other stuff, I'm all for it. Windows would be amazing, I'm tired of having just a gaping hole for windows; sometimes with wood/tables covering to make it look like there might be glass. Fountains too would be great.

    I'd also like to see pre made doors. Even if we can't open them (90 degrees would be great) just having a decent looking door would be great. Some people have made great looking doors out of wood planks/metal bits, but a Trion art team professionally made door with a door handle and everything would be amazing.

    Another thing I'd add would be more lighting options. Chandeliers (Chrome tells me I spelled that right, I'll take my award now), more fancy looking tall torches, and most importantly, more colors. Purple, red (not red/orange like normal), yellow, blue (I know the Tempest Bay Braziers are blue, but more items in blue). If it's not already in game, a campfire-like item; so we can place a lit fireplace on the 2nd floor without having the sticks poke through the ceiling of the first floor.

    Um, because the game is a Massively MULTIPLAYER Online Role Playing Game, and the idea is to be in the world, and not to suffice as a glorified chat room, perhaps???

    Well then they should give us actual statues. I don't really like the frozen in place NPCs we have now, they just seem weird. What I want is statues that are actually made of stone or glass or something and are actual objects like the [Frozen Tempest Bay Citizen]. A bunch of actual statues of various NPC types would be nice: pirates, guards, regular citizens, merchants, chefs...

    If I could only ask for 1 thing right now it would be more space. The item limit is a little low for some of the bigger dimensions.

    Weather generators: snow, rain, fog.

    Real trophies. You made fishing an almost unescapable element of dimension decorating now yet there's not one single trophy fish that can be placed in dimensions. Good start with the Great Hunt trophies but keep em coming! I great way to integrate these items would be to add them as rewards for specific artifact collections.

    Additional music/sound boxes. Some even maybe with no music, just nice ambient sounds like a forest at night or waves gently crashing on a beach.

    Critters! Wild things are fine but it'd be nice to build a farm too (you already have some livestock in game). This could also include fish to place in water.

    Day phase generators: day time, night time, twilight.

    Elements: water, dirt, grass, gravel, etc.

    More building block primitives!

    More architectural basics: stairs, windows, doorways, columns, etc. maybe a toilet and sink?

    And now for the really hard stuff...

    More interactive items: jump pads, elevators, conveyors, pendulums, levers, working teleporters, slippery ice.

    Do you have any idea how cool you would be if you made a working mp3 player people could place in their dimension and play your own songs for visitors?

    To clarify my livestream answer a bit -

    For the time being, the statues and other dimension objects that contain NPCs are more complicated for the game to run, and take more time for us designers to create.

    Therefore, we will continue to introduce them at a more modest rate than we introduce regular dimension items.

    Sorry if I misrepresented your answer. I tried to repeat it as closely as I could off memory.

    Is there any way you can give us a hint on whether they'll be more statue-like, or Nico/Gartyn-like? Or is it still in secret/planning mode?

    Yes, more ground covering would be nice, including regular old green grass. A few more items off the top of my head:

    Night sky projector. I would like to build an observatory.

    Telescope(s)

    Gilded Prophecy sky projector.

    A second Cherry Tree model- one that stands upright. We all love the Cherry Trees, right?

    More rugs.

    Glass: windows, building blocks, etc., and some building blocks with curves.

    The flower containers from Tempest Bay.

    Those floating pools from Eastern Holdings!

    Yes please! While you're at it, a weeping Cherry tree would be very much appreciated.

    I would add to this list but you might as well add just about everything.

    Although, my top picks... and everything I see others post would be great as well, but for me some kind of rope or chain, Fountains, Paintings or wall decor as it is in limited supply. Then up our limits so we can use them ;)

    Default Here is what I want!

    Better tools!

    Dimension toolbox add-on is nice, but I want better rudimentary 3D editing features:

    Grouping!!!!! (and un-grouping)
    Shift-click to deselect an element
    A better inventory list of elements in the dimension
    Light on/off while editing
    Snap to grid/grid size editing
    Scaling in x, y OR z... not all 3 at the same time.

    Aside from those I agree with others in that my wishlist would include:
    higher item limits
    more locations (simpler ones too... i.e. an empty field).
    ground cover
    more music/audio options
    and hell yes, critters!!!
