Note, please keep complaints down to a minimum here, I just wanted to make a thread on the Steam forums where we could get a place for people to put their suggestions down for the game.
I'll start.
1. Focus on stability and performance first. I know that the developer didn't have a lot of different test machines to check performance and stability on before launch, so the fact that it runs with no widespread crashing issues is damn impressive, but now I find the experience hampered greatly by an erratic framerate. In the RTS view mode before you actually control the unit the FPS seems very high and reality stable. However, often when taking over any of the vehicles the framerate drops in the teens. Really takes away from the experience.
2. Being able to host our own servers. I know that he is working on it now but I figured I would add it. The Chicago deathmatch server I played last night had an average match time of about 3 minutes because a 10k ticket limit on each side was depleted way to fast. I think the default server config files need that number adjusted as well as the ability to host our own servers.
3. In the deathmatch mode, reduce the amount of points for killing units and put the emphasis on controlling ground. Maybe don't even call it deathmatch, call it something like Conquest or whatnot. I think the battles could be a lot more interesting if it was solely about territory control.
4. Adjust the spawn times of vehicles. Right now zeppelins and tanks all spawn really quickly. By increasing the spawn time for those vehicles you'll instantly increase their value on the battlefield.
I could keep going but you all get the idea. Let's centralize all of the suggestions here for a bit. Makes it easier for everybody.
I've got an idea of how to make the deathmatch mode way more teamwork oriented and fun, but that will require an entire post to itself.
