What is a skill you want to learn for Custom Edition but you lack time to learn/ability/interest/ect?

I'll start.
Good modeling. I can model some okay things but by no means am I good and a lot of my stuff is probably horribly optimized. Pleh.
Animations would probably be next. I just need to spend more time with that though.

skybox, sp scripting and cinematics, and awesome bsp layouts

Motivation.

The ability to move on with my life and stop beating the Blam! engine down with a hammer so I can work with the Crysis 2 Engine.

Good modelling as well for me. Also indoor bsp. I can do outdoor. Indoor is cancer for me. Also scripting. I'm one of the losers who use Ehs.

Creative weapon tags,

so modeling, sounds, vfx, etc etc...

Fake Global-Illumination and volumetric lighting

much of my inspiration is from sunny sharma maps and tutorials but I never did figure out how to make volumetric lights

Particle effects. Sure, you can make a stellar BSP but good particle effects is what sets it apart from the rest.

Creating A map that other people can give it a very high rating

Proper Modeling Methods
Better Rigging/Skinning Methods
Fast&Easy UV Unwrapping Methods
Better Animation Methods
Proper Level Design and Space Usage

I'd say perfect highpoly baking, but that means perfect UVWs and projection cage editing.
Oh and also organic modeling/sculpting.

360 noscopes.

I am learning to create AI from scratch.

How to craft good BSP geometry and level design in general.

Also, Opensauce-related things, mainly normal bump/specular mapping and how directional lightmapping works.

Skills to produce and create quickly and efficiently AAA quality everything. I want to be a one man team.

the ability to actually finish stuff and not get distracted halfway through XD

So much this. Aside from lack of focus/motivation, I guess I'd like to be able to make a decent singleplayer level.

Learning how to texture. I'm decent, but nothing I would ever settle on using.

It would be amazing if some people took the time to make some kind of twitch/etc streams to showcase their talent and help others learn, that's how I got better at modeling besides tons of practice. Ex: XXX's modeling workshop

If you want to better yourself and are interested in literally having to go absolutely no where to watch someone (and have enough resolve to sit through the session without distraction) teach you how to better those skills, that opportunity sounds excellent IMO. Plus chatting with the teacher etc. Think of it this way, why do people go to class? No one's making them. It all depends on the initiative taken by the individual; you miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

Second the skybox, textures, and lighting tutorials... especially lighting... :D

Koz and I'm thinking of using a pretty ambitious strategy for CE3 '15 so... priority on volumetric and other alternative lighting methods please? ;) jk

You just need to talk to the right person to get that.

As for me, I'm just here for playing the maps, nothing left I want/need to learn for this engine :-)

Same. Specifically I want to know how to animate well except I've been doing too many other projects that I haven't pushed myself to battle with 3DS Max more, but it's on my to-do list.

Organic and Forerunner Modeling because I want to widen my current modeling ability from outdoor/humanoid environments.

Single player scripting because reasons.

Edit: and movement animations like running that require good frame movement to not look stale

Me too. I draw them out, but can't make them.

Smexy Cut scene animations. That way I can create my epic SP idea I have. It will be the best, Like no map ever was.

To catch the... tags... is my real quest?

To rip them is my cause

RIPEMON! GOTTA RIP EM ALL! I KNOW ITS MY DESTINY! RIPEMON!

You're welcome to glance over my gameplay design guide if you're interested. Many have found it to be helpful, even professionals.

Such skills.
Hud creation is really easy to be honest
