Now If I Was In The Dev. Team.....

You all are in the Dev Team and you have a patch that is due out in a matter of a few weeks. Due to time, you are only able to make two big changes......What are they??
1)
2)
Comments
1. Tweaking the graphics so the customization is actually clearly visible in the world for 32-bit users.
2. Fix matchmaking.
These 2 are the most important for me.
1.
Get paid more money but would be working ridiculous hours.
2.
Overhaul 32bit graphics as it looks a bit "smudgy".
About the graphics:
I am on 64 bit Windows 7 and using an ati 5850 card with 1 gb ram. Still I notice eveon on highest levels the the shading is not perfectly blended and there seems to be too much soft glowy lighting (bloom?).
I also notice that my character looks incredible in charater creation but no where even close to as good in the actual game world. It's like the lighting is off. In particular I notice that there is this unnatural lighting emanating from between her lower and up lip, something I have seen in many, many other games and I'm not sure why we are still seeing this in 2010.
But over all I think the game looks pretty good. It would be nice to have more video options so we can turn off some effects.
Two things to change though....
1) Make it so if criminals are stealing cars or ram raiding during missions that if they lose the mission the Enforcers get the money
2) Make it so you can join and participate in a mission in progress. Sometimes I'll join a group but I have to wait until the mission is complete to join in the fun. You can call for back up so I don't see why this is any different.
Other things:
An ongoing list of players banned for hacking/exploiting. I'd like to see where we are on this. Not sure if the problem is as widespread as some make it out to be, but I would like to be seeing progress on this front, not just an update every six months and mass bannings. If people are found to be hacking they should be banned immediately to protect the competive nature of the game.
I'd also like to see other cities added and minigames, and maybe the ability to toggle a pvp flag so you are always attackable but the opposite faction. There could be rewards on this based on time with pvp flag on and number of deaths.
Really the game feels bare bones, even though it is really fun. I could picture so many additions to the game. Like collections, mingames, achievements for things like jumps and stuff.
1) Matchmaking done first by rank, then by threat, not allowing anything more than +/-75 rank difference (based on avg. level of group if grouped). (I did 3 missions with a group of rank 25-79 plus myself - 123.. the average rank of our opponents was about 240 over the 3 missions)
2) Changes to upgrades. Monolith OR Survivor OR Regen. Gun upgrades should be divided into 3 categories, Offensive, Something else and Utility and you should only have 1 of each in a single gun. So savage OR spray and pray. Quick Fingers OR Three point sling. Etc.
The next thing on my list would to be create sentries at gas stations that shoot RPGs at people who spend too much time at the gas station, griefing with dump trucks/SUVs/trucks is getting old.
They need to just get rid of LTL weapons, it adds an unnecessary complexity to the game.
The best thing is that they are working on a "Pure Skill" instance. I can't wait. No more facing rank 280+ people that I get an advantage on but can't kill because of ridiculous health.
