So many ideas and suggestions float through multiple forums, and being a bit bored, I thought I'd glance through them and pick out the ones we seem to beg for the most and the ones the Devs have already rejected (but that we still keep asking for). Kind-of a forum reference thing. I broke them down quickly into catagories like Gameplay, Developers, Certs, Vehicles, etc for easier browsing. Enjoy.

1. Owned by hamma.
2. VERY nice list of things. Alot of those things would make excelent additions to the game. Right now me and another member or two from CDL are making a detailed list of things that would make PS better. I think alot of people will like some of the ideas but its alot of work for the devs.

Dont forget defensive cep/bep. Apparently the devs dont want defenders to have a reason to defend.

I've said it once, I'll say it again. Get rid of the interlink benifit, and buff the damn cloakers.

ok, I updated it with defensive BEP/CEP, infiltrator request.

Just a reminder: all I did was go through the forums and pick out the topics that keep coming up frequently (like Group-only spawn at AMS). So if anyone is suspicious that an idea they have is not original, they can quickly scan the list and know if a topic has been brought up or already flat out rejected by the Devs.

cough*prone*cough. :p

Just noticed one item "More ranks" is only somewhat true. If you mean BR then, yes there will be no BR higher than 20, however there will most likely be Elite Ranks beyond BR 20. While they may not add cert points, they will probably let you be able to perform special abilities.

Nice post.

I should clarify for readers that this is just a quick Index of the features that players are most frequently asking for on the forums. If it's on the list, there were many many posts about it on the PSU forums or official forums over many months.

For example, when I listed "more ranks" it means there were numerous forum posts asking the devs for more ranks. Remember, this isn't a list of what the Devs are going to do, only an index what players have been asking them to do. I thought it would be fun for people to see if one of their ideas was one others wanted as well. :)

Defensive CEP is bad news unless they do something about CR5's
