[List]: How to make this game 10x better.

Dark Matter Monolith should be a boss that can actually be fought!!!!!

For the love of... The inventory screen is ATROCIOUS! Please make a "standard" bag opening window that doesn't engulf the entire screen. Also make it customizable so that we can choose whether we want to see rows and columns or just a big up/down list. This goes for the other screens as well. I understand they wanted to be unique and all, but form over function is not the best practice in this case.

I love all the ideas here! hopefully on the 15th some of them are implemented.

The system as it is now makes sense in PVP, in most mmos the noobs can't pvp because they have to catch up to the high levels first. And it is fair in a way that the noobs have a fighting chance, but it is unfair to the high levels who invested a lot of time in the game to virtually be the same character as they were x levels ago. Trion should implement a ranked matching system so PVP, and raiding is done by people within certain EGO ranges.

That is why their would be an ego match making type of system, that proposed players of certain levels or gear sets play against their own levels. That way, people that wished to progress in pvp/pve while looking for better gear are not stuck in a constant mode of endless repetition in which the player is rewarded with a re-texture of the same weapon he had at level 100.

Wow's success has nothing to do with this game. Wow is an RPG, this is a shooter. That does not mean that every online open world game has to follow the same guidelines.

Also, what's with the attitude? "I guess some people prefer mindless shooting at arkfalls." Because forcing people to group up with 5-10 other people to advance there character is great right? Look if you like that kind of gameplay, great WoW is still going strong, but Defiance doesn't need to follow the same formula.

This is a very, very good point. I've heard the comparisons to WoW so many times now and anytime someone mentions Borderlands or CoD they get shot down, quickly. This is a shooter but also not a shooter as far as I can see. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of RPG's. My fav game of all time has to be Skyrim. I just don't get the WoW or CoD fan boys or telling every one where this game has gone wrong and what needs to be done to fix it. It's a new experience, a new project and a new idea. Let's see where the developers and artists take us, shall we?

GAME mechanics? No, they are fine. Defiance is its own thing and that's great. SOCIAL mechanics? Yeah, those need to be overhauled big time, which is what I think a lot of people mean when they are comparing this to WoW. As this game stands it is barely something you would call an MMO. And that is what has been disappointing/frustrating a lot of people. They've come from WoW, a game that had deep rooted communities and robust socialization options, and have come to expect that level of interconnection with the players around them. This is a very legitimate complaint. All these WoW-ish features that I keep hear repeated (Auction House, Mail Box, Crafting, Raids, Healers...) are at their core devices for social interaction. Take these things away and players have no need or reason to work together, thus making the whole point of your MMO mute.

Seriously, who doesn't have a headset. I'm not saying everyone in the game can all talk at once, that would be chaos. But what about distance chat, maybe a couple meters and you can hear what a person is saying into their mic. Example: You're doing your mission and another player walks buy and just starts helping (I love that we share quests just by being near one another) it would be great if you could just start talking to them instead of having to join a party. I don't have time or attention for... Oh look an arkfall...

Would be kewl to have some sort of Trader/Barter boards in game, maybe located in main cities. where we could see who's trading what & what they want for items etc. & if they are online now. Maybe a way to leave a message for bartering
It could still follow along the lines of the game. Just an easier way for us to trade with each other in the community. Id also like to have a way to trade between our characters if needed.

I agree on the AH I hope they don't make one here, it would start a whole different economy issue..
It happens in games all the time sadly.

Mindset... its great your thinking of ways to improve the game play, doesn't hurt to have ideas EVER
Myself one thing Id like to see is a personal storage/banking of sorts saw a thread on an idea of using our vehicles as traveling storage... that would be kewl.

We don't have any idea what the Devs have in store, they may have already taken in to consideration Beta players suggestions & some of this is in the works & the show may have trading/auction ideas they will implement in the game (I cant wait for the show)
But can't hurt to discuss whats wanted/ needed most by players.

Good Gaming everyone

Please god NO AUCTION HOUSE! Some games just aren't meant to have an auction house. AH SINGLE HANDEDLY RUINED DIABLO AND IT WILL RUIN THIS GAME! Not to mention there is only like a thousand (maybe less) items in this game so the ah would just be the same gun for like 10 pages, then the next gun, etc etc...

[Nolic1]

I read to the 4th page and will say this I like some ideas like an AH but feel it might do any good sense most items in the game are almost the same except for bonuses that they have and the extra dmg type (fire,radiation and so on). But I would not mind if they add a feature that allowed a whole group to play through all content cause making some missions solo is not good. I would not mind seeing world boss type things but no raids please and the reason why is just make bigger instanes for groups of 8 max cause running one with more would be really not worth it. Also add rewards for end boss fights in an instance I am pretty sure there supposed to but not happening.

Other then that alot of people here are right there are 500+ WoW clones that are good but its just WoW reskinned and I am sorry but I dont want this to be WoW with guns I want this to be what it is and stay as close as possible to that way then be changed to follow the WoW set-up and gear progression that I dont want.
