No doubt PGI started with a good thing here, but it has lost most of it's appeal to a lot of folks that love the genre. It is pretty tiresome here lately playing the game. The dearth of lighter chassis has to be a frustrating aspect to many players both new and old.

The game really has become almost absurd with the current proliferation of assault chassis, ppcs, and jump sniping EVERY SINGLE MATCH.

While the current FotM is frustrating it's just the latest in a moderate length line of bad design and/or poorly implemented features.

when will the plethora of things that should already be fixed actually get fixed PGI?

can we get some kind of tonnage matching for matches?
-singles drop in whatever they want, 4-mans should meet a tonnage restriction, 8-mans should def have a max tonnage restriction

can we have some kind of skill involved in JJ usage and shooting?
-obviously the penalties for jumping to max height and crashing down are not strong enough because i see the fat chassis that are the current FotM doing it all over the place and suffering negligible damage. make it a skill, feather the jets when you jump and land or risk massive leg damage and/or falling if you don't using JJ and shooting was something that required skill and finesse in the lore, it just wasn't done as much as we are seeing here because the risks were huge. MAKE THE RISKS BIGGER!

can we get knockdown back sometime? can we get chance for knockdown from massive damage?
-i know this is in the pipe, but seriously it's taking forever. ramming is not that big of an issue atm but i'm sure it will be sometime down the road. i know you're working on it, just thought i'd reiterate that it is something the game needs. also, taking huge amounts of damage should cause there to be a chance of knockdown as well, maybe make it harder to get bowled over the heavier the chassis is or something similar.

can we please have some actual weapons balance sometime in the future?
-there are tons of excellent suggestions on the forums for ways to fix what is currently plaguing the game as far as weapons balance goes. use some of those, test them out, you have a whole crew of folks that can do all kinds of testing on your test servers..USE THEM!
having to wait weeks and even months to have some of the more prolific weapons systems usable is kind of absurd.

can we get the game to feel more sim and less arcade? tha would be awesome, plenty of ideas on that as well.
