Okay, now with Legion:
1) New player experience:
If you are going to transfer SP (portion of fully) from the players from DUST to Legion then you should give something to new players to be able to catch up. Like a double SP bonus for a whole week. Also, it would be really cool to have a daily "1st Win Double SP" like in the game Robocraft. Basiccly you have double SP on the 1st win of the day (everyday, and this can also be for veterans).
2) Costumization:
Now, we know you talk a lot about being able to fit whatever you want and that's cool, but gamers want more. We like to stand out in the battlefield. So it would be cool if you could actually costumize your player model with camoflages. You could have most of these as AURUM only, but also have some that are earnable like Assignments in Battlefield. This would give something for the players to have a small objective (like a fun pursuit with a cool reward).
You should also have camos for your weapons and even your repair tools (some love for the cool logis too :P) We like to look at our gun and think that it is actually unique (even if it is not), we like to look different). So CCP please add this.
3) New dropsuits:
I feel like this is something required, my idea is having a medium and heavy Anti-Vehicle speacializations. Now these can have bonuses to ammo or something (you decide CCP). With this people could actually have speacialized AV suit to fight thos Tank spammers :). Now, I think it would also be cool to have some AV equiment to add more gear for infantry to fight off vehicles. The heavy specialyzation could have one equiment slot, you could choose to either lock that slot only for Anti-Vehicle equiment or just let players put there whatever they want.
4) Costumization - Weapon Specific:
Now I'm not talking about camos, but instead actual physic costumization (scopes, grips, magazines, barrels, etc.). I personally don't like having different variants (Combat Rifle, Assault Combat Rifle, etc.) It would be cool if you had a default weapon and then be able to costumize it. The player can make the Combat Rifle become the Assault Combat rifle with one change only. Now this would mean that you should not have per example the scope on the standard CR, you should just have the ironsights (such as with every other weapon). This would have a bigger variaty of changes to the weapons. To do this though, you have to make actual mods, all these mods (as I said scopes, grips, barrels and all that) can be based on some real present day mods but with a few tweaks here and there, but you can also create some by yourself.
5) Players and the market:
Kind of like in Planetside 2 it would be cool if players could make some camos to sell on the market for AURUM. Now, these camos should be first sent to CCP and then CCP would choose to integrate them to the maket or not. Like in PS2, the players would recieve a part of the money that other people pay for their camos, not only that but their name should come up on the camouflage description ("Created by...") just to give some more credit to the creators.
6) Racial HUDs:
I have seen here in the forums some really cool ideas and I like one that has different colors for every race. I'm not sure if the HUD would change with every suit or if it should be by the race that you choose at the beginning. Still, a very cool idea in my opinion. In addition though, there were other ideas like the ammo being at the side of your weapon. I too have an idea (not really HUD, but still) which is a sound like a bip bip (like in Defiance) when you shields are low. This would get the player awared of being shot a bit faster than a hit indicator.
7) Weapon Classes:
This is something I forgot to put yesterday, but happily I remembered today. :) So.... Weapon classes. This, CCP is something that at the moment you don't really have. I mean, you have "Heavy Weapons" "Light Weapons" "Secondary Weapons". And, while, sure it makes sense, you at least need more to that. Example: Combat Rifles, atm they are kind of like carbines, great at close range and efficient at medium range. But in my opinion it would be better if it was a class and not a weapon. If it were a class you could have all races represented in here. Like a Caldari or Gallante carbine. Or a Minmatar Sniper Rifle. These shouldn't be weapon's names, they should be WEAPON CLASSES!!! I'd love to have a Caldari Assault Rifle and all that. All other shooters actually have this, it is defenatly something needed for having a greater variety of weapons. I personaly would like to run my empire's weapons a lot more, but to be honest I don't like the Rail Rifle very much, I'd love to have a Caldari carbine of some kind to run with my C scout. :)
Okay, I think that is all (I hope I haven't forgotten anything). I just have to say that although I won't be playing Legion (because I don't have a good PC :c ) I still want to help CCP and help it's games. By the way, I hope that the game is actual Free to Play like DUST and not a month subscription like in EVE. You could have a "Premium" (from Battlefield) like service that would give you camos and per example access to a community test server. This (being Free to Play without month subscription) would let more players into the game and maybe if they wanted to they could buy that service.
Thanks for reading, let me know what you think.
