Heat mechanics for Vanu weapons?!?!?1

Seriously do you guys have something against Vanu why we always get all these gimmick useless weapons? Magazine size is a HUGE advantage.

Common knowledge the Spiker and Phaseshift are complete rubbish, I thought you were going to make better these guns rather than give us more gimmicks.

So fed up with these last few patches, I was given Betelgeuse by accident other day.. 65 rounds is massive advantage! Am I right in thinking the other 2 factions still get 150 round LMG's. I in fact enjoyed all the guns I tested bar the shotgun which had crap magazine size.

I am honestly considering swapping faction...

Tanks on other factions are much more balanced, they don't have crappy looking lobster maxes without any sweet looking animations or competitive AV option (T-Ray Vanu maxes are just sooooo bad look wise), we get the most useless guns other than Orion and pulsar C. Higby considers to make all our weapons heat based? wtf BALANCED really?

I spend ages auraxium these guns for now rubbish I don't want, yes I haven't played the new version yet but clearly we all want it for the magazine sizes!

Who requested this heat mechanic it had negative posts in reddit already and easiest way to balance the game is if we all use ammo...

Higby pls

I only have the darkstar, which is pretty bad anyway because of the permanent 3.4x scope, so it doesn't bother me too much. But I can definitely see why betelgeuse users would be upset by this. Just having an unannounced heat mechanic thrown onto a few auraxium VS weapons rather than having it on PTS first seems a bit harsh.

You can swap scopes now and bloom cof is fixed, therefore the weapons are complete...

But oh no Vanu again gets some stupid gimmick thrown in to make it completely broke.

From what I saw in a video it is 35 - 40 shots while NC TR get 150...

So you have a weapon you shouldn't have, and you're complaining about something you haven't tried yet.

The words needed to accurately describe you would get me in trouble, but I'm sure you could think of some of them.

Confirmed: Matt879 is blind and should learn to read patch notes properly. I didn't even notice the can-now-swap-optics thingy, I guess I'll get the darkstar to auraxium then after all. Now I really hope that the heat mechanic doesn't suck

Tanks , the magrider as balanced and competitive as the other 2.

Have you see how a TR max looks ? lol.

Comets are pretty good.

I'll refrain from commenting.(on the weapon balance thingie)

I LOVE THE IDEA. If they increase the damage models of VS weapons to 155 instead of 143, and had their RoFs reduced and recoil SERIOUSLY decreased, I'll never play any other faction ever again. Even to gain enough certs for the JackHammer

Giving yourself a panic attack over something you haven't even tried yet. Be sure to put yourself in a rubber room when the update goes live just in case.

That rubber room is the only thing protecting Auraxis from my mentally horrific attempt at killing everyone just to get my hands on the Juice... CAN'T WAIT

Heat mechanics would be the dead of Vanu if VS would be the only faction nerfed down in a global way by this crap idea.

VS weapons are all medium and therefore well balanced standing between TR and NC. With a faction heat mechanic for all units from ground to air VS will turn to the weakest faction PS2 have. If they want to downgrade VS it is time to explicit downgrade all factions. TR get a reload speed for all weapons 10 seconds each mag for ground units and 15 seconds for all vehicles. NC get mag sizes of 10 at maximum after certing for all units ground and air. Funny? Good idea?

If that is a result after a devs brainstorming session i like to say that it is more close air then storm and brain.

Um, wouldn't this reward bursting and give an excuse to get rid of the silly FSM on most VS weapons?

Don't count on it man.
In their eyes, having infinite ammo is a huge buff.

LOL

Tanks are no where near balanced in 1 on 1 fights, or the ability to turn 180 as needed or to play solo, or in ability to shoot aircraft that may attack you. Magrider is good at what it does hide and run....

TR maxes look pretty good with right cosmetics.. what I'm talking about is the weapons which is what you look at the entire time you play a Max, and even in third person they just look like lobster claws.

So you would take Comets over Ravens and Pounders pls..

As a Heavy you need magazine size which is where the Orion's only weak point is. First off we only got extra 15 rounds when NC TR got 50.. hard to take now this heat mechanic.. I don't need a heat mechanic when I run into 7 guys I need magazine size.

As for :MotionBlurred - Had the gun, not have and thanks to getting it by accident all my directives were reset for the 5th time, plenty I could complain about. I have also played game long enough to know what the real advantage is, Heat which still has a reload mechanism of sorts or Magazine size.

can you guys not freak out please, let the dev's try something all their asking is give it a fair shake their trying to make the factions more interesting and different and you guys are saying it's doomsday for the vs faction as a hole when all this affects is the directive weapons seriously guys calm down.

It is if you're a LA. VS light assaults now have the unique honor of breaking the shackles of the mandatory ammo suit slot and actually have something called a choise? choyce? However it's spelled, my NC character wouldn't know.

infinite ammo orion hype

Oh no, LASHER infinite ammo hype>:]

Indeed. So many VS players FAIL to understand how good this can be! WE FINALLY GET TO CHOOSE, just like you said. This is the best thing that can happen to VS players in a long time! Now all they need to do is increase Magrider strafe and drop...

It is! It's a good thing!

Oh please yes. Having infinite ammo but having to burst fire for it, and because we have to burst we have no FSM (or even 1/2 the FSM on every gun we have, I'm not picky) would actually be a good faction trait.
