Definitely some nice points and made constructively, not just whining like so many posts I've checked out. As far as the water/invisible walls, I don't know why they didn't already just put in there "The Darkness is too powerful in this area, turn back", as the permeating Darkness is the perfect cover story for blocking off anywhere you can't go yet. What would be awesome is if they made it so we had some kind of group community events where we had to kill so many millions of certain creatures that were connected to the darkness when they do minor updates to add new areas/sections, so that the community has a sense of 'earning' the new content. I know many weren't fans of ME 3, but I enjoyed it, and the multiplayer in that did some interesting community events, that if you succeeded/failed it would change things for the following week/weeks til the next event. Altering things like the percentage of types of enemies in certain areas/missions. Would be awesome to see things like... damn, just realized I'm ranting and going off topic. Sorry I'm a train of thought/typing person. As far as the loot thing, were things dropping just because you were in proximity, or were you in a fireteam, and since you were part of that, it maybe counted kills by any of your teammates as if you were doing it too? As far as the pvp part goes, maybe it keeps track of your success through multiple sessions and eventually rewards you? While someone great at pvp increases their chance for loot drops an gets an item every 3rd match, maybe even bad players would still get one on their tenth match just for contributing? Just an idea... I'm betting the AI will be far better in the higher levels of difficulty, and I agree with some of the other posters that have already left comments, that the AI already does some clever things, and more realistically looks for you, instead of just you having a mystical bullseye on your head that sends out signals so the AI is always mowing you down. But I guess we'll see soon enough (but not soon enough in my opinion..haha) And about the socialization I agree it would be awesome if there is more interactivity (and I really think the full game will have far more available), as long as it is optional. Some people will not like the proxy chat, and such, so hopefully there is a disable/mute option for those that want it.
