Firstly I just want to say:
I LOVE THE ADMIN TEAM! The updates are fantastic and I love everything that's been implemented so far! This is great work and I hope that we can see more suggestions become a reality within the game!
Now recently my brother has been watching me playing on the game and we've been discussing a couple of things, which has lead to a lot of ideas coming up without him even realising. Hehe... So, here goes:
With regards to racing/flying:
1) A Drag (on) [sorry, couldn't help the horrible pun there!] race that is mostly straight, but tests your flying accuracy (through hoops) to see who is the fastest. (So a bit like the "race Toothless and Hiccup!" flight test.)
2) Along the lines of competing with other players, it would be awesome if there was a "dragon/Viking" games ceremony (like in the series) where people compete with each other in really difficult games to see who is the best.
3) Recognisable flight paths to an area. It would be awesome because just flying through plain sky can get a little dull...
4) Cloud layer- something that was fantastic in the movie was the way Toothless flew through the cloud layers, and then flew high enough to see the stars, ect. If people fly high enough (maybe a higher level dragon is needed to do it?) then they can get there.
5) New flying game- a bit like tag, to be precise. The flying ability and the fire ability of the dragons is awesome. But apart from in the races and when free-flying, there isn't really much use at all for both at the same time. So, what about a flying game of tag? A bit like tag rugby or something. Each dragon has like say a cloth or something that's flammable, except for one which is "it". The dragon that is "it" has to hit as many other dragons as fast as possible with its fire. The dragon that is the last one standing should get a prize, and the "it" dragon should get a prize depending on how many other dragons it hit.
6) Precision fishing/catching- I used to love jumping from the top of the elder's hut and "play chicken", seeing how close I could get to the water at full speed without actually hitting it. So, maybe there could be a game where a dragon should dive down from a platform and pluck a fish (a big one) from the water. Or, it could be shape recognition, since you could end up plucking a fish from the water, or just something that is totally worthless.
7)Dragon sledding! Like in the series, where Hiccup and Astrid are racing on their dragons. That would be so much fun.
With regards to locations and scenery:
1) Weather! Maybe in one of the new locations it could be snowing, or there could be an area where it's raining or hailing. A windy area where riding the air currents is the way to fly. Could educate the younger ones on the game about weather patterns and stuff.
2) An active volcanic area, a bit like Yellowstone park or something. I think I'd just love to see a volcano explode!
3) Underwater cave system- needing a Scauldron to get there, whilst the dragon accompanying you can dive after it. Or maybe being able to make some kind of short-time breathing suit (Leonardo Da Vinci designed one, maybe making one that looks old like that?) so people can explore underwater.
4) Clan Islands- for the big clans, there could be a clan island where they can build up their own area using special "clan coins" that are earned by doing clan events.
5) A few new biomes? Maybe Alpine, Forests possibly swampland, an Arctic biome?
Another idea that involves both areas and flying is long-distance navigation. Higher level dragon bonding/growth stages should allow for more areas to be reached, so those who are serious about their dragon bonding levels can get further. Also what would be awesome would be to explore ruins- and maybe find treasure in these ruins. Completing riddles and puzzles would allow people to progress to finding the treasure.
Social and player interactions:
1) There should be events included in the game according to seasons and perhaps holidays as well. For example, Snargletog (I have not a clue on how to say it) could actually happen at Christmas. Halloween could be something like Harrowing Howls Night, where Vikings dress up to scare away gnomes and trolls.
2)Fanart gallery- there should be a gallery displaying art that people have drawn to share it with other people.
3)Private and clan chats- for those who want to limit down the chat number.
4) Parties- where a group of Vikings can join up on the same server so they can then travel around and do things together.
5) Recruited "School Helpers" that are players who can prove that they know enough of the game and are nice enough and friendly enough to offer help to other players who are stuck with something.
6) Members only- An "Elite" group where they get extra lessons on dragon taming and training from Hiccup, and get a separate badge by the side of their name. Possibly they also can get an exclusive common area to hang out in. Maybe they could also join a Specialist club- training under either Hiccup, Astrid, Snotlout or Fishlegs. Hiccup could be "Explorer" class, Astrid "Racer" class, Snotlout "Blaze" class and Fishlegs "Observer" class. I don't know where I'd place the twins... Hmm... Rockhead class? Heh...
Viking skills:
There are two skills that are already there, and a few that have been suggested. It would be awesome if there were more, such as possibly:
Viking skills:
1) Navigation and exploration
2) Axe-throwing/Archery accuracy
3) Deduction
4) Tracking
5) Observation
Dragon skills:
1) Endurance
2) Speed
3) Accuracy
4) Fire recovery (How much time it takes to regenerate fire between exhausting shot limit)
Sorry for dumping more ideas on you guys, but I'd forget them otherwise.
Anyway, thanks for reading!
