current ASP options imo are too mundane and unintresting for how much time both members and especialy f2p-players have to invest into and some options i rather feel should be certoptions to the classes - infil should get the following asp and certoptions: ASP shotgun primary ASP smg secondary ASP or cert rockletrifle primary along with ammunitionspouch ASP archer primary (or both with rockletrifle and ammunitionspouch) cert AV grenade cert smoke grenade - medic ASP Archer Primary ASP stickynade ASP EMP grenade ASP AV mines cert rockletrifle primary along with ammunitionspouch cert smoke grenade cert AV grenade cert AI mines cert decoy grenade - light assault ASP battlerifle Primary ASP shotgun secondary ASP stickynade ASP EMP grenade ASP AV grenade ASP AV mines ASP or cert AI mines - engineer ASP battlerifle secondary ASP Archer secondary ASP rockletrifle primary, secondary or toolslot ASP rocketlauncher primary or toolslot cert smokegrenade cert AV grenade cert decoy grenade - HA assault ASP battlerifle secondary ASP Archer secondary ASP shotgun secondary ASP smg secondary ASP EMP grenade ASP stickynade ASP AV mines ASP or cert AI mines please throw all of this into playtest at least .. also add a option to respec asp tokens, thank you ...
ASP shotgun infil would be OP. Infiltrators can overcome most disadvantages of shotguns and the auto shotgun would dominate in many ways while the pump-action could be used for screwing enemies over with OHK's too easily. Otherwise all I would do is add that all non-prestige players get to pick one ASP so they get both a taste of the system and arent held back. Additionally, all players get to change 1 ASP every 24 hours. This is mainly so newbies can experiment with ASP's but also allows veterans to swap out choices if they made a mistake. For those who are going to proclaim that LA's would be OP with long range weapons. While LA's would have an easier time reaching sniping spots they would always be more vulnerable and easier to combat than Infiltrators. Especially since Infiltrators would have a massively easy time countersniping as the Infil has a chance to take time for his shot while cloaked and the LA does not.
stalkersuit .. that´s why rather smg secondary for up close kinda thinking bout medic having asp access to semi auto (not bolt action) sniper and auto/semiauto scoutrifles either as primary or secondary ... is a bit of a stretch though ....
Have to be careful with secondary weapons, as they can sometime create very overpowered synergies. SMG secondary for infiltrators is one such example. As you've said above, SMGs as a stalker. Can also have an SMG and a bolt-action, which would allow for total domination at virtually any range with total effectiveness. Not very fair. The rest of the non-secondary options seems good though, in my opinion.
yea problem is there aren´t many other options otherwise for infil ... i think smg secondary is borderline acceptable .. infil ASP assaultrifle primary? ASP carbine primary *looks at cqc types* .... uuummmmmmm .... bit tough ...
Yep. As much as it sucks to say Infil is probably not getting anything else ASP-wise, at least as far as weapons go. The community had a collective apoplexy at the thought of Infils with carbines and ARs would be even worse. Shotguns go without saying, and secondary SMGs with Stalker would be almost as bad. Only things I can think of would be options that change the way your cloak or motion detection work, like maybe giving you longer cloak but longer recharge a la Wraith on the Flash, or instead of sensor darts give your player motion jamming darts. Other options look good though, personally I would love LAs with battle rifles, both to use and to use as target practice.
I think new/not yet ASP players should get the discount perks and a special exp bonus until they opt in. The price reductions will give them more breathing room on pulling vehicles and the exp bonus will help them get caught up with veteran players. This way they don't feel that they are at a disadvantage like the current system.
uuffff ... i do not know the exact dps numbers between secondline smgs and cqc carbines but the thought of a infil with a gd7f or Vx67/serpent ..... ..... ..... rather not ...... i think giving them one asp token from the start (demigan´s suggestion) to get a feel for the system is a good enough idea ... xpboost are always a bit of thing regarding membership .. even though i myself asked for reworking/tweaking xpgain through infantrycombat (rather getting xp primarily through damage than kills) and vs pmbs or defending them being a worthwhile xpgain and action for leaving the lattice ..
