I am already sick of all the DRM talk, we know what those issues are, lets get into the game, I noticed many things that need work, lets hope some patches can fix.
1: Tile size, not going to elaborate it's self explanatory, needs to be addresses, really limiting and unrealistic for a city builder in 2013. This alone is a major issue with the game, it's simply way too limiting.
2: Lack of region control: Regions are pre-built and each town has only access road, how is that realistic? We should be able to plan our own traffic options between cities, this causes traffic issues as well.
3: LAck of information - I put bus stops down, no where is there anywhere I can see detailed options on how they helped traffic, or information in general, this is an issue with multiple areas in the game. (Maybe i'm missing something?)
4: I don't want or need to talk to every sim.... This IMO is causing a lot of the issues in the game it is a major waste of resources and simply not what simcity is about. maybe have some key sims you can talk to in each neighbourhood, anything else is wasting time and resources that should have gone to city building options, this is a city builder not the sims right?
5: Trading - Maybe i'm dumb but trading on the global market is not really explained in the game nor does it seem to work all the time right now, game says I should get 5000 a month from exporting coal, never shows up in my treasury, at least not always.
6: Abandoning cities - Why can't I if I am playing a private region, not start over an abandoned city? This is stupid, if I want to start over a cvity I messed up when I was still learning the game I should be able to. What happens when I use up all regions? GAme over?
7: Cross server saves? Saving to the cloud is unnecessary as it is, but with the online issues, they said to try another server, sure I would, but when I do my region and save files are not there, hours of play time gone.
There is more I am sure, that's all I can think of for now.
