What is all of your guys fun and exciting new ideas for gameplay in TR?
Just put down two things you hope to see released in game somewhere down the line.
Im hoping for
1. More Races
and
2. Area specific damage (as in head legs body ala SWG- PRE CU)

Guild bases like CoX
What other races were on earth to fit this games story?
I'm hoping for world PvP minus the boar innards collection quest. I believe there is potential for this to be a good non instanced, non zoning, galactic PvP where players can choose to be the Bane or AFS. From there, let there be glorious galactic warfare and slaughter...eh I doubt if that is going to happen.
Haha for some reason my third idea was cut out,
I also would like to see,
3. Vehicles, anywhere from boats, to planes, to tanks. Any would do in my book. Althought i believe this is already in the making.

Heard they were adding mechs/mobile suits. Hope I wont have to see everyone in one.
Do they still not have an actual sniper rifle. I believe they gave it a certain name for it like a torque gun or something, but it wasn't in the game when I last checked.

Hmmm...sounds like we want Halo with crafting

More playable races - already in development (not bane though - allies)
Vehilces - already in development in a way (PAUs) - more like personal mechs or somesuch.
Sniper Rifle - it's in and working (Torqueshell Rifle, longer range, etc).
what i want:
5th tier of specialization
buildable (and useful) player structures
social additions (either social professions or entertainment add-ons, minigames, etc.)
I also want raids (multi-group strategic combat) but they are already in development.

good show old bean, I agree that Social aspects are a much needed addition, like it has been said, we need a tavern, of some sort, give us some entertaining skills ala dancing and jokes, even put em into a whole little set or kit for players.
Also i believe a boombox in each tavern with changable songs would bode well,
I must say the Heavy Metal esque music in the game gets the blood boiling.

The taverns are already in place, at least in Foreas base and it plays some nice depressing honky tonk, pretty funny. They just need to give it a purpose, which if it's like the surplus buildings that are in place, but yet to become auction houses they may already have a plan.

JET PACKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this would take care of vehicles as far as im concerned, zones like divide it would help and an actual vehicle would be hard to get around in
I'd just like to see more of the game they hyped, not the game they delivered
I'm sorry you got disappointed. I'm not sure what game they hyped to you, but I got exactly what they promised. So maybe we aren't playing the same game. Anyhow, there are plenty of troll threads out there you can spout random flames at the game. The OP here is asking for 3 suggestions of things not currently in-game that would make it better. To help you understand better what sort of response is expected, i've provided a helpful template below:
Hi!
I would like tabula rasa to add these three things most:
1. <insert suggestion here>

Just like you mentioned, TR delivers on what it said it would.... I don't believe it ever said it'd deliver on other peoples personal hype.
1) Social Aspects - Great potential for enhanced roleplaying and player events.
2) Events - On the topic of events, I'd like to see the TR team hold monthly events (Call to Arms if you will) to get the community working together outside of the CP's.
3) Character Customization - Multi-faced as I'd like to see another race introduced, more character facial piece additions, and an additional class tier for further diversification.
I like the ideas about playing as the Bane, as it could provide the PvP aspect that some are looking for in a way that does not ruin the storyline. Perhaps a zone called "The Frontlines" were players of both sides could battle it out for Control Points, with each area controlled, opens up certain vendors/quests and so on. It would be interesting to see if it could be done. If so, it would be one of the first MMO's to truly satisfy both sides of the spectrum in my opinion.
You just described PlanetSide. That's what I was hoping this game was like, but I suppose this'll do until someone decides to make another game like PlanetSide.
Not only would I like for them to include playable Bane race, I would like them to include RP options through quests where you can switch sides.
For example, you should be able to through quests switch allegiance from human+allies to bane (which only come up if you make series of choices in certain lines of quests) and vice versa. This would allow even more dimension for RP as well as PvP options.
Would be interesting if possible, though I am not sure if the Bane in its conception would even consider switching sides, let alone the AFS allow that to even happen. If its all in the context of the game then I am all for it.
Just another idea I had was or would be mainly for the higher levels. Return to Earth. Perhaps at some point they could open up a zone for each major city as time moves on. Start with New York, or London. We could battle it out for months (only because of the limits of a few people building brand new zones.) Then release other cities as time goes on. Perhaps one day through recapturing these specific Earth Zones, we could one day call Earth home again. Just ideas.
I'm no game designer, but I'm sure that'd be extremely difficult. Just having the Bane as a choice at character start I'm sure would be enough for most.
And don't get me started on the 'choice' system of this game.
I don't see why it wouldn't be possible to open Earth as a 'new' planet in later patches, but I don't agree with 'releasing cities'.
Clearly if we were to return Earth after an invasion of the Bane it'd be drastically changed. Cities burning rubble, etc. So the zones wouldn't be New York/London/Saskatoon (shameless plug for my home city). So I think you could have radically different zones with no story loss.
Game-wise I'd still have the zones much like we do now, however change to change it up take an element from PlanetSide. Every base inside a zone on Earth is a capture point. Should the Bane control ALL of the capture points in a particular area, lock that area from AFS players. Of course this would require a way for players to get a shot at unlocking an area so you'd have to design that, but I don't see why it wouldn't be possible with the existing engine.

Well I wasn't refering that when we would return back to these cities to find them unscathed, but yes in pure rubble and an utter diaster. But I could see people fighting in the streets of these ruined cities, to regain control in certain parts/points. Bases don't have to be in the fashion as they are on Forea, but could be in back alleys, old Rite-Aids, etc.
But the releasing of cities would be based off their suggested appearance + the addition of a war barreling through it. What sort of feeling would you get as an American seeing the Bane mothership hovering over the Statue of Liberty, laying in ruin off in the distance.... or as an Englishmen seeing Big Ben toppled over by roaming Stalkers? Just think it may be an addition that would hit it home for those wanting a deeper immersion factor.
Ah. I gotcha.
But where would the laser turrets go?
(does anyone else think these things are useless right now?)
White/Black ... each with different stats? Oh wait, that would be racist, we must keep the humans, elves, dwarfes formula..
REALITY CHECK
White/Black ... each with different stats? Oh wait, that would be racist, we must keep the humans, elves, dwarfes formula..
I believe it was said the races they are planning to add next are products of genetic engineering and/or crossbreeding between existing species - which i assume means humans, foreans and brann.

I HOPE they manage to introduce
the race without making the new race
stronger then your original human char.
