TL;DR A checklist of every feature players have mentioned they would like to see, hopefully updated regularly.
Here is a list of items that people have mentioned they would like to see in the game eventually.
Note! Some of these have already been mentioned by the devs to be in the works, this is more of a checklist to ensure every idea that has been had that is not yet in the current release can be remembered and not lost in the vaults of obscurity.
I tried to reference as many of the original idea proposers as I could, but I am sure I missed/mistook a few, so apologies.
Hopefully I can get around to edit this weekly to keep items up to date with both ideas and the current version.
=====================================================================
=============================Player Options=====================
=====================================================================Quite General:
*Animations for nearly all actions.
*Dual wielding of items.
HUD:
*Breath meter should flash red when below 20-25%. -Rukio and Umajianu
*Ability to toggle whether player names are seen through opaque structures.
*Minimap should have an option to be toggled on and off as well as allowing players to adjust the size of the player representation in the center of the minimap. – Antignarot

*Ability to crawl in small holes and climb over short hills/cliffs. -Eric Steiner
http://oortonline.com/forums/topic/smart-moving-slide-crawl-climb/#post-6829Proficiency System:
*Use it or lose it: Your proficiencies have timers: after a set amount of time of non-use, your proficiencies lose experience and go down to lower tiers. Higher tiers take much longer to decrease than lower tiers. Think of it like this: the lower tiers are beginner’s luck, the higher tiers are ingrained memories that take time to be forgotten.
*The more you use a tool or ability the better you get at it.
Player Interaction:
*Ability to create friends list and see if friends are online.
*Let holding backspace delete text continuously in the chat box. Also caps lock. -Rukio

+++However, the death toll should not incur a respawn timer. -Eph
http://oortonline.com/forums/topic/portals-worlds-and-exploration/#post-6744
+++In line with Eph’s world difficulty suggestion, items are lost and durability damaged on retained items only on normal+ worlds.*Stealth: The more you sneak around aware things, the better you get. PvP-wise, this can be done in tiers of character opacity. The better you are at sneaking, the less opaque you become, eventually becoming absolutely transparent. In terms of PvE, this just means mobs’ awareness of you decreases in the same tier fashion.
*Awareness: every time a player scores a hit on a sneaking mob or other player, they increase their awareness in tiers, making those sneaking mobs and players become a tier less in sneak for every tier of awareness, eventually making those hidden mobs/players entirely apparent.
*Hunting: The more you kill of something, the better you are at it. Same as the proficiencies, this means increased damage to said creatures and decreased damage taken.
*Status Effects: Burning, Oiled, Poisoned, Wet, Frozen, Stunned, Paralyzed, Slowed, Invisibility, Rage, Confused. -NoxiousRaven

*Worlds with specific rulesets for PvP and PvE, hopefully with something in-game creating these constrictions.

*Oculus Rift support.
*Procedurally Generated Quests. -Darkstar-IE
http://oortonline.com/forums/topic/quest-system-procedurally-generated/#post-7564*Some form of currency.
Block Mechanics:
*Omni-directional placement of blocks. (i.e. inverted slopes/corners/design placement.) -Rukio
http://oortonline.com/forums/topic/audio-boxes-and-inverted-slopes-torches-on-walls/#post-5669*Some blocks should be affected by gravity.
*Some blocks should be magnetic or magical to account for floating structures.
*Some blocks can be sloped naturally, others require tools to slope or chisel.
*Natural leaf blocks should despawn when there is no longer any trunk connection.
*Have tree blocks fall over when the bottommost block is removed.
*Block style placement should be tied to a menu accessed by a key rather than cycling the item through the inventory. -Rukio
http://oortonline.com/forums/topic/make-building-easier/#post-1963*Structures have physical requirements to stand weight, such as support beams.
*Blocks can be broken into micro-blocks
Tree Mechanics:
*When the bottom block of a tree is felled, the rest of the tree should break down, drop down as a structure, or fall over.
Portal Mechanics:
*Conservation of momentum and power for powered/mobile devices.
*Horizontal and Vertical portals. Also, connections between the two such that when falling through a horizontal portal you can arrive on a world where that portal is vertical.
*Some portals are temporary and close after a period of time, while more resource demanding portals are permanent.
*Portals that intersect eliminate each other. -Umajianu
*Ability to vary portal size.
*Limit portal placement distance. A horizontal portal above another horizontal portal that connects to the one above creates an almost inescapable infinite loop and would wreck performance I’d think. -Umajianu
*Ability to pull the connection to a portal’s exit on portals you’ve placed so that you can make waypoints while exploring. -Grimoire
http://oortonline.com/forums/topic/horizontal-portals/*A portal that is not given an endpoint randomly connects to a world.
Beacon Mechanics:
*Beacons have some form of limit so that worlds are not littered with those unused/abused. One solution is timed beacons, another is that they can be assaulted and taken down with multiple players (Not the original player who placed the beacon.) -Umajianu
*Allow players to have special abilities, like flight, within their beacon space. -Rukio
http://oortonline.com/forums/topic/viewers-have-spoken/#post-2384*Beacons should have different levels of permissions. -Ardos
