That about sums it up. To me # 3 falls under 'core gameplay' while #2 is needed to get that gameplay working and #1 is just plain handy.

So while I'd switch the numbers around, these are all top priorities (In my mind).

what he said, in that exact order with 1 being first to implement.

Hossin second so we can get a fully functioning continental lattice, which is last.

I get the feeling people want to keep spamming out their vehicles and maxes no matter how much they lose them. What's so bad about the current resources? I don't mind a resource revamp as long as it increases how long you have to wait after losing your vehicle and/or max, not decreases.

Here's my list:

1. Amerish Lattice
2. Hossin
3. Continent Locking/Continental Lattice

[AuntLou]

1. Hossin
2. New player experience (Outfit listings etc.)
3. Veteran player experience (New achievements, pilot/driver achievements, post BR 100 content)

Tommy's answer:
1. NOT SHUT DOWN FREE REALMS
2. NOT SHUT DOWN FREE REALMS
3. NOT SHUT DOWN FREE REALMS

I dont its that people want to spam vehicles and more that the resource revamp punishes you for doing that by draining a lot of power from your base, it also will adds more logistics to the game which we need badly.

1-3 ) put a stop to the hackers

[NewSith]

0. Amerish Lattice
1. Continent Locking/Continental Lattice
2. Resource Revamp
3. Benefits Revamp


I'm not mentioning continents, because that kind of content should be in "always high priority" list. What scares me though is that I believe adding lattice onto continents is going to be traditionally screwed up by SOE, with their unexplainable desire to simplify the game to dust.


As for benefits revamp - if resource revamp is to take place, some significant changes will have to be done to Base and Continental benefits. Discounts don't work with three types of resources, how do you think they're going to behave with one?

Lastly, I should point out that continental lattice will bring me back to PlanetSide 2, and I will stop pushing people away from it, like I already did with 3 potential PS2 players.

[Timealude]

I had some time to think about it and while I agree that both the Resource Revamp and Hossin need to come first, I honestly think we need Vehicle Zoning before we have Continental Lattice or some sort of way to deploy to which Continent the fighting will take place on. I can imagine it being very annoying to pull a Vehicle to get across the home Continent only to abandon it when you need to change warp gates even without a timer.
