Akira Zeta Algintal Core Gallente Federation 7	Posted - 2012.09.08 13:38:00 - [1] - Quote Here are a few ideas that I believe could improve the game: 1. Vehicle controls should be altered. I believe the driving controls should be R2 to go forward, L2 to reverse, left analog stick to steer, and the right analog stick to look around. Keep triangle to switch seats. 2. It is much too slow to switch to the sidearm. I actually wish it wasn't mapped to R2 as well. Triangle would be much better. Make the right analog stick switch stance. L2 melee and R2 grenade. 3. The reload animations are a bit too long in my opinion. 4. I think the maps should look different based on the atmosphere of the planet. Fire, Ice, Forest, Desert, Storms, Snow. You could also have ancient cities, refineries, villages, architecture of the different cultures, mines, etc. Variety is always nice and should set the maps apart. 5. All the classes should have unique weapons and abilities that help the team. Assault is useless right now. 6. Additional cosmetic variety between classes and enemies. Should be able to look at player and tell what class they are playing. 7. Aim assist and voice chat should be enabled by default. 8. Higher default looking sensitivity. 9. Camera should be farther away from character in HQ. 10. Improve textures and effects 11. Grenade indicator for friendly and enemy grenades. Make indicator different colors. 12. Hit boxes need to be adjusted. 13. Reloading while running would be great. 14. Stamina meter is a bit annoying, would prefer unlimited sprint. 15. Hold breath while sniping if not already possible. 16. More class based game play similar to battlefield but on a greater level so people work together more. 17. Engineers can build temporary structures such as gun turrets 18. Press down to open a scroll wheel to select a vehicle or structure with analog stick. Look to Star Hawk for inspiration. 19. Traditional menu would be nice with a server browser and from there you can choose to go your HQ. Would have all the features and options available when you press start. HQ feels sort of gimmicky to me since its so small. 20. Orbital drop system for spawning would be awesome. I know it is in both Section 8 and Star Hawk but it makes sense in this game since you are working for the Eve Online players. I have a feeling this is going to be an awesome game when all is said and done. :) Lets try to help make the game the best it can be. Leave your suggestions below.
DarkShadowFox Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 238	Posted - 2012.09.08 14:08:00 - [2] - Quote Agreed The Reload Animation is Far too long and is way too slow, your a pro for hire soldier here, the fancy reload animation could be sped up a bit.
The Black Jackal The Southern Legion 302	Posted - 2012.09.08 14:19:00 - [3] - Quote Train your 'Reload' Skills.
Akira Zeta Algintal Core Gallente Federation 7	Posted - 2012.09.08 14:54:00 - [4] - Quote It's a bigger problem when you are playing the "medic" and you have no side arm with the frame rate stuttering. You are basically a dead man walking at that point.

Akira Zeta Algintal Core Gallente Federation 7	Posted - 2012.09.08 15:09:00 - [6] - Quote Thank you for the advice. I haven't played the game long enough to figure everything out just yet. I've been reading the forums and it seems that there are no set classes but whatever abilities you choose to learn.
Akira Zeta Algintal Core Gallente Federation 7	Posted - 2012.09.08 22:34:00 - [7] - Quote When you press square to wait to be revived it doesn't really tell you if anything is happening or that you pressed the button. Perhaps a sound effect or animation should be added?
Beast Beastlington Bragian Order Amarr Empire 237	Posted - 2012.09.08 22:52:00 - [8] - Quote Should also be able to look around while downed, ala MAG.
Saint Chalmes The Dark Templars 1	Posted - 2012.09.08 23:33:00 - [9] - Quote A Bleed Out Timer with a Bleed out Camara. To allow yourself to look around to see if anyone has a Nanite Injector. Players on your team should have a Medic Sign near their name so you know if they can Pick you up. I personally haven't been able to pick anyone up from battle due to them bleeding out to quickly. If decent XP was given to pick people up and prevent Clone Reserves from Depleted when you pick people up it would inspire more people to carry Medical Supplies. I agree with the Driving that R2 Should be Drive and L2 Reverse. this allows you to look around. I think Medic's are under utilized so far. Nothing worse than just laying there and everyone running past your dieing corpse. Encourage more Team play instead of single player play. Everyone likes there K/D ratio to be high. But how about a Contribution status. Showing how much your contribute to the group or game. Weather it's picking other players up as a medic. Hacking Objectives and Vechiles. This should be displayed more than the K/D at the end of a match I also noticed at times Dust will say I have no Equipment in my Drop suit. I go to the market to resupply. And it won't let me. I have to log out and log back in to reset the system to recongize that I do have stuff. Tends to be annoying. Also Noticed that when the Server tells me it's full it'll prevent me from using the neocom directly after. I can't move my char in the Merc Quarter but I can hit select to talk if need be. Kinda annoying. Mic's It would be nice to see who is talking when they are talking. Display name when someone is using their mic. To help promote the use to team work. Display Squadleader and Squad in a drop down list on the side of the screen somewhere in the HUD. I would like to see who the Squad Leader is and who is in my squad. If possible would like to see a Contribution score so I know who is doing stuff and who needs some direction or some help. I would like to see a Yellow star or something next to the squad leaders name so I can follow him and help him with objectives. This would promote team work and leadership. I agree it should Auto Yes Voice Chat on and Mic's on. Obital Strike is nice but most Squad leaders don't use it. Would be nice to have a better set up then Right and down then select where to place it. These are just some of the things that could be done to encourage a Teamwork based game. Which i know Eve usually isn't but if you don't work as a team in a squad then you won't make your objectives.
Chris Chance Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 3	Posted - 2012.09.08 23:49:00 - [10] - Quote I agree with most of this. The reload animations are great, but they are a bit slow. Maybe like the other guy said and 'train' or develop skills to reload faster. And about reloading while running, that's totally unreal for larger guns. But for like pistols and maybe SMGs, that'd work. My biggest complain is the size of the text. I have a 1080i HD TV and perfect vision and I have to squint to read things sometimes. An increase in text size would be GREATLY appreciated. I feel like the text size was designed for PC users type of thing, where people are closer to the screen. It just doesn't work for TV users.

Akira Zeta Algintal Core Gallente Federation 7	Posted - 2012.09.09 01:50:00 - [11] - Quote @Saint Chalmes I agree with everything you stated. I believe this game would benefit greatly to make it much more team based instead of just another space marine FPS. Class symbols or ability symbols would be very helpful. I dislike players focusing on only their K/D because in the end it doesn't matter much. It's great if you can have a high K/D and help the team with objectives. Give XP or points for performing team based actions. I don't think you bleed out in the game, I have sat there for minutes and just give up to spawn again. "To help promote the use to team work. Display Squadleader and Squad in a drop down list on the side of the screen somewhere in the HUD. I would like to see who the Squad Leader is and who is in my squad. If possible would like to see a Contribution score so I know who is doing stuff and who needs some direction or some help. I would like to see a Yellow star or something next to the squad leaders name so I can follow him and help him with objectives. This would promote team work and leadership" I think they should look to the battlefield series for inspiration for the UI. It is sort of clunky right now and hard to use. Orbital strike and other abilities should be easier to use for squad leaders. I like that the game has scroll wheels but they aren't very responsive at this point in time.
Akira Zeta Algintal Core Gallente Federation 7	Posted - 2012.09.09 01:59:00 - [12] - Quote @ Chris Chance Yes, you shouldn't be able to run and reload with all the guns. Perhaps this could be a skill you learn? I wish the weapons were a bit more enjoyable to fire. There isn't enough recoil or impact. The control mechanics are bit loose at this point in my opinion, movement doesn't feel right and you get stuck on small hills. You should be able to jump slightly higher as you now only go about 5 inches off the ground. I also noticed when using the tank turret that the body of the vehicle clips into the turret. The way grenades currently explode annoy me. I never see any sort of explosion or anything, they just go off.
colonel deadshot Algintal Core Gallente Federation 3	Posted - 2012.09.09 03:01:00 - [13] - Quote naming of the "load outs" that way you don't get too confused with all the same "class" types
Akira Zeta Algintal Core Gallente Federation 7	Posted - 2012.09.09 03:47:00 - [14] - Quote @ colonel deadshot That is a good idea. Custom names for your load outs would be nice. I think the little things need to be focused on more than the bigger aspects right now. Build a solid game and then add cool features on top of that. That is what will keep people playing long into the future.
