    1.0 had a glorious walking and run animation. Felt so solid to the ground. Miss that. . Don't miss the animation lock at the end but I miss watching it. However you don't need animation lock in order to have a pretty animation, as example by many other games that often have some variation of animation blending and animation canceling to ensure player experience.


    Also was thinking but some better shaders and other weather related tools to increase the immersive / realistic vibe could be fun, when it rains it would be cool if we had rain puddles develop, volumetric fog and perhaps elements of that in clouds (think especially useful to make fog / mist kissed mountains :3), snow build up when it snows, snow trails when in snowy areas (like a small layer of deformation to show the snow has a thickness to it). Speaking of trails, many mounts don't have proper footprints- so that'd be nice (though pretty low on the list for myself lol).

    Flora with physics (some games when you cast spells or walk through the field of reeds the plants respond). Saw someone mention water waves on the beach, that'd be nice indeed. Overall the water could use a pass so it has more water like properties (proper ripples, 3d movement, etc).

    In any way the animations in the game being improved would be great.

    I like all of those ideas.
    Would make the environment feel much more immersive.

    I would also like some elements of interaction in the environment, like for example food that drops from the trees or grows on the ground that can be eaten for stats and exp boost.

    I'd so love that, I noticed it in other newer MMOs lately, though I'd just be pleased if the foliage at least just shakes when the character walks through it.
    Yeah, mentioned the stronger waves earlier, hope it's added some day.

    Heck, I could enjoy exploration in that game like very few others. The world and movement both felt wonderfully real. (Mor Dhona and Coerthas took the cake for me as favorite hiking areas.)
