RP Town Hall - Wedding Feedback

[Remissus]

Hello, RP'ers!

I'd like to introduce myself as one of the designers working on weddings.

Just wanted to let you know that we're listening to your input, and we appreciate your enthusiasm!

To you and all of Trion:

Thank you so much for thinking of the roleplay community. We really appreciate it, and I for one know it reminds me of just why Rift will likely continue to hold my loyalty- Few other MMOs have devs that even acknowledge the community, and far less ones that give us any care!

Please keep up the good work! You all have my vote. ^^

Love the idea, how about adding lastnames to go with it and another RP shard with PvP? My Character Defira got married and it was a great cross guild RP event. Would love to see others doing it be a nice break from the endless grinds.

this is exactly why i started playing rift always adding more content

Still want to be able to actually sit in chairs/benches/stools without having to use /sit and sit cross legged!

And still wanting new emotes that include unique dances and jokes. /taps foot waiting

I can't seem to find any solid info on this through a quick search, so since it's mentioned here...I wanted to voice another plea for Trion to allow same-sex unions. If you are going for the maverick route, which is your awesome dev style, then keep being bold and do what Bioware was afraid to do.

(Bioware promised same gender romance story arcs for a long time, then they suspiciously removed them right before launch. I won't buy or play TOR until they add them back.)

I know weddings have just arrived, but I'd love to hear your feedback on them. I'd also like to hear your thoughts on being able to control your own "set piece" instance.

1. Would you like to see more of this type of system?
2. What other instance environments would you like to see?
3. What do you enjoy about this system?
4. What features are missing that you think should be added?
5. Where do you think the system could be improved?

I'm not an avid rp'er but do have 1 piece of feedback. Why oh why would the bouquet of flowers be bind to account? How are you supposed to give your gal flowers with that setting?

[Eriol]

What features are missing that you think should be added?

I think one major oversight is not giving couples the same benefits that the "recruit a friend" people have. In that they can teleport to each other, etc. My wife and I started playing at the same time (beta) and yet if I invited a friend later, they get more "benefits" when playing with me than I do with my wife because we're both early adopters!

So I think the Marriage mechanic is perfect to address this, so that you get the free teleport and whatever else in regards to your spouse, since obviously you're close with them.

First, sorry for my english...

1. Would you like to see more of this type of system?
My girlfriend and i enjoy playing rift, because there is so much to do outside of group content. We came from constantly raiding and instancing and wanted to play without the need of a well organized group and fixed dates.
We are not forced to do raids and instances to have fun, or to get nice items. No other MMO we played, gave us these many options. Rifts, Zone-Events, PVP without restriction, Instant-Adventures, funny dailys, chronicles and so on.
We look forward to every new patch with such a content and hope there will be more in future for two players, such as the wedding and chronicles.
It gave us a new feeling for our chars, so that we are not just stupid warriors slaying monsters all day long. NEED more content for 2 players outside of group content, that makes fun (Hardmode chronicles)

2. What other instance environments would you like to see?
Housing will be nice. Would like to have my own house!

3. What do you enjoy about this system?
see above.

4. What features are missing that you think should be added?
A:
I agree with Eriol. After introducing the "recruit a friend" feature, i thought it will be cool for my girlfriend and me, because we also started playing together when the headstart began. It would be a nice feature if there would be more benefits from being married, not just a little note in the characterscreen. Probably give a fixed time until we can divorce, so that it cant be exploited, a month or so.
Okay, now i am becoming a bit strange, but the possibility to have children in any kind would be funny. A pet, that is growing up over time. Wait... silly idea
B:
A barber would be nice, with new haircuts, beards and so on.

5. Where do you think the system could be improved?
see above

just my opinion

This has long sort of bugged me, but I am not sure marriage is the right solution. Sorta awesome though.

I think special verbs for couples would be nice (like in Gemstone or Dragonrealms, I know some Trion team members played those games so they should know what verbs I mean, maybe toned down just a touch though)

I like the idea of being able to port to each other but maybe make it only once a day?

How about last names? Not sure that is possible with your game though.

But I think the best thing would be the verbs, so say "Lancelot puts his arm lovingly around Gwenevieres shoulders" instead of just a regular hug
