Oddly I tried to cram in as many tangentially related things as I could get in there.
Combat rebalancing - something like jesterab said - and most importantly marksmanship being properly implemented - hopefully at least partly by means of non-standard crafting recipes. Being a master armorer seems like it could be fun.
Fixing the ranging / black skills is probably more important, actually - namely the inventory overhaul for fixing stored scents.
Also as regards the reset, I didn't actually answer. Somewhere a couple of weeks ago someone said we'd get character + inventory + equipped + item over head - no idea where it came from now and it does seem unlikely. Naturally my preferences are skewed to what I was 'promised', but after thinking some more I'd be fine with just about anything that wasn't a full-out character wipe (even dying as if one tick from Full Change would be fine - I don't want to go through the mess that jorb calls 'the early game').

Re: A Census
The fact that no one abuses tradition slider surprises me. As it stands you can level full change doing pve and convert to tradition and safely kill every few days. That and how combat is sword and board or die. kinda frustrating.

Re: A Census
I can't answer the question about the most I'd be willing to keep, without knowing more about the new map. I want enough that I can start having fun shortly after the map reset, without too much time spent on repetitive rebuilding - or replacing resources no longer easily available after the map reset. (Will someone else find and harvest ALL the wheat in the new world? We've got players who would do it if they got farming first, and found it. How about someone who chops down all the mulberries? I.e. If _any_ resource will be rare enough to be destroyable/monpolizable, it's going to be a problem... so I want to bring a stock from the old map. I also want to have adequate defences fast, without playing 24 * 7 - but adequate also depends on the map and the way in which players are seeded onto it. You get the picture.
Also, there's a difference between how I play H&H and how I want to play H&H. The PvP and most of the PvE aspects bore me, but have to be dealt with. All the time I spend building and repairing walls etc. is PvP - also boring. All the time I spend doing repairs is PvE - and also boring. If they ever come to consume too large a % of my playing time, I will quit. Meanwhile, they consume enough that any question of the majority of my playing time would probably be PvE or even PvP.
