here are some suggestions that probably nobody will accept but i will try to keep it amusing.All i ask from u is that u read the bold letters and says your opinion on my suggestions.
and i puted them in order,first are the biggest and riskiest ones and the last are some small and interesting ones.


1.MAKE EVERY SHOT COUNT
cause of the repair option i suggest that they add XP gaining sistem like in battlefield play4free where every sucesful shot gives u a small amount of XP,and a the killing/assisting sistem stays the same,but give players XP based on the damage they inflicted cause like this the players attack/be attacked,and than just run into cover hwne damaged,su u might have wounded him but a completely other player took him down and gained XP


2.PILOTS GET BETTER TOO
I dont quite remember but i think in the alpha phase there was a lvl uping sistem for pilots too,it would be great if that was here,so u would have level uping your mech wich would increase the performances of your mech,and you would lvl up your pilot (yourself) to gain some smaller advantages like:increases precision of primary weapon if the mecha is taking consencutive damage,and perks like that.


3.EVERYBODY LIKES THEIR OWN WEAPON
i dont think that this would anybody like but lets see.The idea is that there is a similar system to lvl uping guns like in call of duty Modern Warfare 3 awhere u could lvl up your gun,and change or add some parts to it,like u have for the mech those parts that change your stats.It could work similar for the guns and to make the changes actually visible.


4.MAKING IT WORK AND LOOK
This could be really great if added.Whenever u lvl up your mech it would be visible on your mech.Example u lvl up the decrease the amount of damage u take and on your mech apear small armor plates.This would apear/look diferent oly when u max out that spesific skill,and i mean that one skill not the whole skill tree.


5.MY HOME MY COCKPIT
Quite a simple idea.U can change the looks of your cockpit.Add some toys,dog tags,change color of some of your equipment and so on,u could add toys just like in Mecha warrior online.And so on and so on,i think u got the idea.


6.BRINGING THE OLD TO THE NEW
I liked some thing for the alpha of the game,like those heat warning bars on the side,u could return that and keep the original heat warning on the center of the screen.It wont hurt if u return those back with that the cockpit looks more like its actually has fuctionaly buttons rather than just like a simple look.


7. ATTACKING AINT THE ONLY WAY
Add some support mechs.Add mechs that are bad at attacking and defending and are great at supporting others,like a support mech with a repair gun and a fast replenishing shield.Make some mechs that get energy faster,set up barricades can have up to 3 active turrets,and so on,and so on.


8.MIND THE PARTS
Would like if,like the rest of the players that the parts (upper chassis,lower chassis etc.) can be buyable with hawken points,and that every part gives a status boost to your mech.Example :the upper part of the legs give u more health or more jumping hight or speed depending on wich part.


i think that would be all for now,thanks for reading..if u did,and support this thread please :)

1) Not sure how this would work out with the current DMG/XP system, but I like the sound of it.
2) What happens in Alpha stays in Alpha.
3) I like this change a lot, considering when I level up my berserker and get an AR boost when I wanted an SMC boost, I get sad.
4) YES! I love it when games do this. The problem is there would be so much work to do and it might throw the hitboxes off.
5) +1
6) See number 2. +1
7) A healing gun has already been confirmed.
8) No.

EDIT: Nice one Beemann. Nice one.

1.  XP is already awarded on kill based on damage dealt.  If you do all the work for a kill but don't get the kill, you get the most xp.
2.  Vertical progression = no no no no no no.  Current vertical progression is vestigial and will be getting changed.
3.  You already level up guns, and weapon option sidegrades have been stated as under development.  Level up your hellfire, get the option to customize it in a few different ways with sidegrades.  Faster lock-on for slower missiles, more missiles for less damage, etc.
4.  Err... vertical progression or cosmetic?  I can't tell.  Cosmetics, sure, vertical progression, no.  Edit: I think I get it.  This isn't a bad idea, I kind of like it.
5.  Not a bad idea, why not?  I wouldn't mind a bobble-head Dire Wolf on my cockpit.
6.  ...the heat indicators are still there.  You mean pre-alpha?  I guess?  I think they're fine, though, I like them.  It's clean and I can tell what's what.
7.  Support mechs, specifically a healing one, are being released shortly, from what we understand.
8.  They have to make money somehow.  Armor pieces are for looks only, NO VERTICAL PROGRESSION.  Leads to cookie cutter builds if armor proves specific bonuses.  No.

Every pretty princess including myself would vehemently object to something like this.

Really like the parts about individually applying stats to weapons, within reason. But a big part of the dynamic to the game is that there isn't a whole lot of play within the system. So no level 20 something berserker can take you out in two shots. So it's hard to say.

Though I do really dislike shooting the hell out of someone, only to have them be killed a few seconds after the 'assist' time is gone, even though the damage is still there. Or, shooting someone, then finding them, killing them, and only getting credit for the last two shots of damage.

Okay than for the 4. the hitboxes would stay the same just some minor parts added.And sorry for the bad grammar im not really good at english so i tried my best.And yes for the 6. the heat indicators for the alpha where ther where heat bars on the sides.And what do u mean rudaforce by 1+? and what u sead timberwolf i have noticed but i get angry whenever i dont kill an enemy with my pee shooter guns.
And about the 3. i didnt see that,must have not played enought,but i want it puted a little better.
And the progression system for the mechs i hate..cuase they are really easing up the fight if u lvl up enought so they need to balance the lvl uping with the actual skills of the player.

TOTALY AGREE WITH U....i think that the best xp system gaining is in battlefield play4free where every shot sucesful shot gives u xp and everything that u do to help your team gives u xp



And i dont know,do u get xp when u gather energy cause it says nothing about gaining xp when u gather energy

AoBaka & Tyme, Id like to invite you on my observations and opinion on XP, rewards, incentives, the problem with kill/assist stats and team work improvements in this thread, which would be in response to your proposal for XP adjustments, me writing it out again here would just clutter things; http://community.pla...mance-who-wins/

Might give you some different ideas too.

Sorry, but this is absolutely retarded.

He put no effort into WRITING them? You sure about that? He added some pretty color, some nice paragraphs, and put his ideas forward that made them easy to read. He even used bold & underline on some of his points. At least he didn't put it all in one large wall of text with no punctuation on the way.

You bloody grammar fuzzy bunny's should just get off the internet.

Last time I checked, humanity had the creativity to understand even misspelled words because they can read the flow of the text, notice an error and mentally fix the error by translating the typo to make it comprehensible.

It would be worse if it was Dinglish, that's grammar error hell.

There's three things you should do:
1) Capitalize the beginning of a sentence.
2) Punctuate the end of a sentence.
3) Capitalize 'I'.
bonus) Spell out your words.

After that I really don't care and will most likely not call you out on it, but not following those three rules shows that you didn't care about your own opinion in the first place.
