ah yes Auriga!! those dreaded cliff racers from morrowind lol till someone made a mod that made them passive...i sent him so many thank you's for that. it's not that there may not be fresh ideas in people's minds renco, it's that there's only so much you can speculate on without new, solid info.
example is: if all we knew was that the game would have something yellow and every single thing yellow has been mentioned in the forum discussions from bananas to submarines, from fever to belly, there needs to be new info in order for ideas to refresh. you add blue and can now speculate/postulate/estimate or wish on things blue, things blue and yellow and how the original yellow ideas fit in. this was i admit a silly and oversimplified example but there you go
now the devs are no doubt still doing a lot of planning and haven't etched much in stone just yet, as well being very busy with coding for beta so i'm not trying to goad them or pressure them either. just stating an observation from a personal standpoint.
