A little thing: As a dedicated logibro, I'd love color coded nanohives to denote healing, ammo and combo hives. I'd also like refined repair tool control and lock on. Also smoke bomb or flash rounds for the MD or the bouncing rounds that CCP Remnant mentioned in FF13 AtC Q&A.
Something you would like to see in 2014: I'd like to see PvE content via rouge drones. I also want to see the weapons lab, corp training facilities, fleshed out racial variants to all gear, new maps and skyboxes. Late 2014 can bring jet planes and hover bikes.
Your future vision: Full on ELECTRONIC WARFARE! As I sat there watching Advancing the Core at FF2013, CCP Remnant started talking about this and by the term alone I was immediately intrigued. What he laid out was what I saw as the next level of warfare that will build upon infantry and vehicles.
Situational awareness is going to become an ever increasing contribution to the outcome of battles. Remnant went on to elaborate about scanners picking up frame size, some kind of ability to to scramble the enemies mini/overhead map and turn off voice comms.
Already, if you are in a squad without a scanner, you are at a huge disadvantage but the cries of it being OP are not valid, people just need to adapt and accommodate these things in their squads. If people don't like being scanned, wait till they are rendered completely deaf and blind electronically. 
The upcoming cloak coming (namely to scouts) is an exciting prospect for me and all of the racial bonuses that Remnant outlined in his recent blog are awesome, especially reduced scan profile and increased scan range.
Hacking will also grow in the future I'd expect. Hopefully the power of the PS4 will enable CCP to consider some kind of AI drones, that would act similar to KZ3 drones. Those could perhaps be hacked and converted to the eWarrior's control. Or the deployable (and fittable) turrets that have been brought up? What kind of hacking mechanics are possible I can#t imagine.
I like to think as eWar as the mage/wizard class of DUST, if assault is warrior and logistics healer (and heavy the tank oc :D). |
