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

[Mindset]

God no more auction houses or raid or die game play.....we have been there done that and all it does is show how crappy the economy is and fosters specialness for completing content Given the type of game and environment, the baddest mofo out there shouldn't be the one who beat the halls of the mutant king on heroic, it should be the dude or dudette that can head shot you while doing a 180 on their ATV.

I think the flashier weapons and outfits will come in time, I have seen a couple leak sites for how the series progresses and they would be foolish not to add some of these things.

So in summary Raids and auctions houses bad, patience on the weapons young padawan.

Yeah, forget about difficulty and shard commerce!

No to AH. Just look at D3. Good items are like 1b. The rich gets richer. Shouldn't finding your own items be more rewarding than just buying it from the AH? The trade system works because you put in effort in finding your gear.

No to 10p raids as well. As of right now, the 4 man CoOp is nice but needs to be harder and give loot. 10m raids require a setup and time to matchmake. If it's an optional content, then I don't mind. If it's like WoW where it gives better loot, then no. I don't want to have to wait for a proper good group to form or join a clan just so I can raid instances for loot.

The best example of how an auction house would affect the game to a larger degree than normal trading is this:

Gamers have been selling their used games to their friends for years. Game developers never seemed to care, because it wasnt causing a big enough impact on sales for them to.

Then Gamestop started selling used games, a large, almost automated company, which suddenly started making a huge impact on the sheer number of used games that were being sold. Suddenly it had a much bigger impact on everything all around. Like gamestop, an Auction House would take normal trading, and multiply its effects on the economy by 10 fold. Why? Because its automated. Because it requires little to no effort from players to use, unlike being your own salesperson on the forums.

Not only that, but it would remove one of the motivating factors from the game - Finding cool items. The game would turn into a "Vendor everything, so you could have enough cash to buy something on the AH". That for me, simply isnt fun. More importantly, it doesnt at all feel linked to the theme and lore of the game world. Its a desolate, harsh world, where someone who finds things like weapons and tech, is going to use it for their own survival. Scavenging is huge in defiance, and unless the show proves me wrong, its a person to person market in this world, not an automated auction house system.

I have to admit when i started reading I thought an AH would be a decent idea, looking at games of the same nature, Global Agenda, APB, Fallen Earth although FE is more of a MMORPG than MMO shooter RPG. I like the point you made about it wouldnt fit the lore of the game and from what I gather on the serious it would and wouldn't fit. I would say rather than an auction house to sell great items, just have an auction channel where ppl can post if they want to sell something and sales are done one on one.
On a similar note there does need to be a lil more emphasis on retail. you cant have a town with out store, so there needs to be stores that sell things that are required kinda frequently. The fact that the world made up a new united world Currency called Scrip id say there is a lot of sales going on not just survivalist trading and bartering.

I would like them to scrap the infinite inventory idea and put in a vault or bank, I tend to keep a lot of items, just in case i might need them, some for performance and some for looks.
If they do consider it a shooter first they might not consider any of this and expect people to stay interested in the game for the combat alone and not bother with customization of appearance or community improving elements. I just hope they are not relying on the series to keep people interest via its constant "hype" for as long as its on the air.

1) I would like to see more and better clan function for PvP
2) I would like to see more and better maps for PvP and rewards.
3)I would like to see harder and more challenging bosse fights, have the option to pick the difficulty. Higher difficulty = Higher reward for rare loot.
4) I agree for rare and unque rewards that are rare/hard to get I ove this in games, but changes are made for the mass majority and Money
5) You have a few good ideas, that would just be axtra gavy to the game.

I second most of that.

i love this game, and its promising. However i really would like it if so.e cool pumpkng background music fould be played during arkfalls, ive noted that it seems monotonous and with some music it looks and feels a hellnof a lot cooler. But thats just me

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, it would start a whole 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 Id like to see a personal storage/banking of sorts saw a thread on an idea of using our vehicles as traveling storage that would be kewl.

Good Gaming everyone
