My tone is normally exasperated with you because you ask for a great number of things that obviously aren't going to work given the ancient console we are running on and the Game Engine. The game cannot run as fast as it is supposed to now. When Frames Per Second comments are still in the bugs forum increasing speed is not an option. Collision detection will become more of an issue as clients and server are processing 20% faster movement, which will require ~40% more calculations, more network communication, more syncing between server and 32 clients (God forbid 512). You want all these items added to game that is not doing what is must do first.
You compare a lot of items to MAG. It would better if this game succeeded. Zipper Interactive and their ideas, if you will pardon the phrase, are dust. Sony axed that entire game studio. Their superior server architecture died with them. CCP has a server architecture that they are committed to because of EVE. If DUST is too boring then don't play it. Stick with MAG. Why constantly lament MAG on DUST forums? That is the source of my exasperation and rudeness.
I think you have some really good ideas and I was serious when I suggested you get a free copy of Unity and write a game. Or use Steam Source. Some of the limitations of playing on a console can be ignored because a PC is a better development engine. And the PS4, which should be a significantly better gaming console, is due to be announced this year. As the processor is supposed to normal once again the development cycle will not be stalled three years while Sony waits for third party developers to provide the library support they did not deliver.
So log the ideas, post them, just don't think they are all new if you haven't played the other games in which they already exist.
Super Hero powers? Halo, Vanquish and many others.
Cloaking, Stealth? Halo, Crysis 1 & 2.
Higher speed? Halo.
Better graphics? Crysis 1 & 2
Smoother game play? Crysis 1 & 2
More rewards? Borderlands 1 & 2, Dark Souls
Better vehicle dynamics? Rage and Borderlands to a lesser degree.
Boring, stupid vehicle dynamics with horrible controls? Halo, for the win!
For the record, I don't particularly like Halo. I only have two of them. Even with my complaints regarding DUST I prefer it to Halo.
Read reviews about games you will never play. Read articles/postmortems by the developers of those games as well as the ones you actually prefer. Read and watch every single interview ever with John Carmack. Expand your world view. I don't mean becoming an American Gamer but be aware of what else is already out there. Before posting about a new idea that is from a game several years old.
I will share one final thing with you. An anecdote from the racing world:
I was at a race track about 20 years ago when some young racer was going on about his idea to have the cam not only lift but close the valve, eliminating valve springs. He asked for my reaction and I said the idea was great. Mercedes Benz used it on their Grand Prix racers in 1936. Decades before he was born. Most ideas are not new.
