Magriders should just be allowed to fly

    And also give them the ability to have the Zephyr mounted to the bottom, and make it a spawn point like the AMS Sunderer but with spawns appearing behind all NC and TR players for that first shot advantage.

    Letting Mags sit on top of Mount Everest while they move side to side dodging the slow, poorly crafted missiles of the TR and NC is just an unnecessary hardship for the VS.

    Just go ahead and make the fu^king thing fly and let them dominate with style. It's obvious that VS fun is valued higher than TR or NC fun, so just go ahead and let them completely own the game.

    lol my fun got run over by them since Beta. SOE needs to stop screwing around and just make it the alpha vehicle of the game.

    Alkezo SOE fully supports your sentiment, and as a member of our favorite faction we would just like to ask you to keep responding to other factions by telling them to cry moar, get gud, qq, and any other cliché you can think of. Remember that you are the only real faction, and the others are just content for you to grind.

    Have a "balanced" Day (wink wink)

    Prowler could have a death star laser, it won't do any good, the magrider simply moves to the side when you fire, lol.

    I f you happen to hit it, the Mag will just jet to some other place out of LOS before floating back and resuming fire.

    And its balanced by the fact that its AP its worse compare to vanguard AP. Asymmetrical balance.

    I could complain that vanguard have the anti C4 I win shield/vehicle mounted sniper rifle or that prowler AP can snipe me from a long distance or banshee could instagib me. Its better to just learn to fight them and move on.

    At least they could remove the ability to roadkill with the left-right shift. Got unknowingly roadkilled so many times as HA and Medic placing C4 on it.

    Can some one please explain how a hovering vehicle can run anything over.

    IT'S MAGNETICS nothing solid there at all, you can stand between magnets with serious attraction or repulsion and feel nothing.

    And to NC and TR at least they aren't the only faction tank that can drive on top of water like in the first planetside.

    You think the force of an 20 ton tank smacking you in the face won't kill you? It doesn't have to crush you underneath it to kill you.

    You forgot the higher damage, the moveable turret, their impressive AA capabilities(matching those of dedicated AA weapons), their from the distance almost invisible and much faster tank round, their better max speed, their strength while just having one player on it....and so on. Again, I would trade my magrider for a vanguard or prowler anytime if it is about their fighting abilities...the magrider is more fun tho.

    Wait, you actually let yourself get C4'd in a Magrider?

    Ha. Hahahaha. HAHAHAHAHAHAH.

    Let me laugh at you harder.
  19. EGuardian1

    They already do fly.





    I've C4'd so many Magriders. Usually send them a tell afterwards. "Because of PPA."

    The only ones that get C4'd usually wind up being the ones that do things like pushing directly inside an Amp station where they lose absolutely all ability to manuever. Meaning they willingly put themselves in a situation that entirely negates their only real advantage, especially given the only reason to go into tight terrain is to suppress infantry, something they can do from outside most bases with the PPA very effectively.

    So again, if you manage to get C4'd in a magrider, you are terrible at using tanks.
