So I'm making my way through the gear mod progression, but I can't help but feel like they missed a lot of obvious potential upgrades that would really benefit the game?

Like, wingsuit speed, gun damage, damage resistance, armor on vehicles, vehicle speed, guns on vehicles, gun rate of fire, gun range, grapple range, grapple speed, gun accuracy, gun recoil, etc

And some that would be harder to implement, but that could be really fun, like gun elemental damage -- fire, ice, and electricity for instance -- wingsuit rockets, and parachute rockets (like in JC2)

It just kinda bums me out. The only upgrades you can get for a boat are nitrous and jump. That's it. In a game that has a stupid amount of content, it could be really fun trying to get all the upgrades, and at the end of everything be close to invisible, saints row style.

Thoughts?

I've been using a gamepad, and I am actually doing pretty well, usually placing first or second. This game is extremely gamepad-friendly. I also think that while the aiming stuff is probably more precise and natural with m+k, the movement and parkour stuff seems to me like it would be more natural on a gamepad. That's just a guess though, I've yet to try m+k out.

I haven't played any of the previous soul games, so I am not sure if this was always the case. I've played for about 10 hours now, and I have not gotten invaded once. However, as soon as I entered Belfry Luna, I got invaded first by one guy (who I seemed at about even odds with, if not at an advantage) and then another guy who promptly backstabbed me. It's not that I mind or anything, it's a short run and it was fun even if I lost. It just seems a bit weird, I haven't seen or heard of this happening before. Can anyone help shed some light on this?
