Instead of killing noobs I can try to make a bunch of shield sprites in my free time, if Rez can tell us what software he uses for that :)

I guess they are made in Blender, but I'm not sure. Since I have some experience with Cad and vector graphics, it should be easy enough for me to quickly learn something else.

Works good in close combat!

Shield works in exact same way as block, its presence is just a cosmetic feature. Block skill was in game before the shield was introduced.

Filter (automatic catching and replacing bad words with neutral ones) could be good idea.

For example:

- polish "kurwa" can be filtered and automatically changed to "kurtyzana"

- spanish "puta" can be changed to "prostituta"

- english "fuck" can be changed to "copulate"

This will also make our chat even more funny than it is at present :D

However, someone will have to make a list of curses for each of popular languages. Probably we should ask natives to do so.

Football is back and guess what? I can't find a team to play!

What for sake is wrong with you guys?!

C'mon, this game is called "wilds" :D

Another thing - there are many players from different countries. At least three different languages are spoken there, so it will be hard to filter all of these curses.

But, thanks to that, I've learned how to swear in spanish! :D

Just realized that one exists as "Help" in respawn menu, however, it seems to be somehow hidden for newbies cognition.

10) Walls need to be fixed, I just got killed by worm when I was inside of the building

At first I was also against this new version. But, after some improvements, I really enjoy it.

However, some features still require a bit of work, also some cool stuff can be added:

1) Problem with hitboxes - they are now better than in the beginning, but still not as good as in alpha version, especially there is some huge issue in case of goblins

2) I find these changes in combat mechanics as misleading for old players. I personally don't like them, since I can't perform as great hit-chains as before. I can forgive that, since your mind was to stop some (so called "pro") players to do such and therefore make this game more enjoyable for new ones. However, since kick can't be blocked, some people can just kick-spam their opponents, and this is somewhat a bad change.

3) 2 hp for goblins is too much. Maybe you should consider an idea of some uber-goblins with low spawn rate, instead of changing hp of smaller ones.

4) Sprites for characters should be improved, because now their colours don't fit to new background. Because the background has some purple-violet hue, the exact same hue (probably as shading) should be present on characters. I used to do a lot of pixel art before, so I know what I'm saying ;)

5) 100 coin limit is a bit low. People are now leaving the game after about 30 minutes (or something like that), because they have grinded everything they could (I can reach the limit just vithin 15 minutes). People love to grind coins and other resources in MMO games, this is all these games are about - grinding resources and buying funny stuff with them. Try 500-1000 limit instead, and add some really expensive (and really cool too) items to the store! (This will keep them trapped in game for hours :D)

Since you've added these viking-like shields, you can give people some colored ones, for example something like this:

This should be easy to implement, and you can make lots of them really fast. Price can vary form 2000 coins (for regular) to even 100-200k coins for some epic-looking ones.

Also, you can add some very expensive skins, which in practice will be available only by buying coins with real money. There used to be a MMO game called FantasyOnline (Armorgames platform), where lots of people were buying outfits for horrific amounts of money (hundreds of dollars...). Everything just to look like a panda bear with a sword, seriously, not kidding...

This will require a lot of work tho. Probably you will have do some sprites remodelling, because these "outfits" will have to be something really original and cool. You may consider this as an possible income source.

6) Please, bring back the football!

7) Worms can be bigger, but this is not an issue.

8) Allow us to chose the server from list.

9) Knives still can penetrate walls!

Sorry for long post. I hope that you will find my suggestions helpful.

Edit:

I also like werewolfs idea of changeable hair color/styles.

Let us personalize our characters (of course within some reasonable range):

- skin tone and hair color - for free,

- hair styles, facial hair/beard - for coins.
