No sympathy here. You guys got your certs from farming with a stupidly overpowered weapon for who knows how many months.
What exactly is/was the TR counterpart that would be a more effective vehicle based infantry farm tool than the pre nerf PPA?
Your faction's FREE LMG has more kills than a 1,000 cert weapon for the TR. Heck even your 500 cert weapon has double the kill rate. 7276 - SVA-88 | KPU | Daily Average: 25.87 80 - Orion VS54 | KPU | Daily Average: 12.76 7533 - T7 Mini-Chaingun | KPU | Daily Average: 12.31 How do you like your Commissar Hat? Just kidding! You ain't got a choice.
Sure, but at least theirs is on the prowler. At least those can reasonably be whittled down one at a time. Magrider swarms have to be dealt with practically all at once.
TLDR: Guy with Scythe avatar doesent like PPA balancing and tries to hide it as a "VS should have lasers" thread.
So by that knowledge, it can't be nerfed! Seriously though, I wouldn't mind the Lancer's projectile dissipating after a certain distance but with added velocity. What do you think?
Now that the PPA's been nerfed Next up Nerf the f*** out of the following Banshee (confirmed to be adjusted) Prowlers main guns (locked down gives the highest DPS more DPS) as there's no reason to get gunners a 1/2 Prowler is = 2/2 Mag Pounder needs its AI ability nerfed whilst a slight buff to the AV department
Not to mention that if the effective range is lowered, the speed of the projectile becomes less important. All the infantry AV weapons that can shoot beyond the infantry level range need to be toned down to that level range or even lower. Adjust the power if necessary. In other games where you could do damage to things you couldn't see, infantry shooting beyond their visual range would be fine perhaps. On PS2 however, anything that does not render is immune, thus a new rule needs to be applied. If you don't render for your targets, you can't damage them. Prowler main gun is a huge problem for the MBT, which is something a lot of TR do not understand (or don't care at this point). The problem is that you can't have equally good secondaries to the other empires, when the main cannon so heavily outperforms the main cannons of the other empires. Then again, if you can't have decent secondary guns, why bother with them to begin with?
Let me ask you something: Does it make sense for the Walker (Which certainly uses conventional bullets) to have a higher projectile velocity than the Lancer, which uses BEAM technology to destroy vehicles? The Lancer should actually dissipate over a certain range, but should be nearly hitscan.
Does it make sense that a projectile accelerates after it is fired? (Enforcer) Does it make sense that a rocket can nearly destroy an aircraft in one hit but can't kill infantry with a direct shot to the face? (Phoenix) There are plenty of examples where game balance is prioritized over realism. In this particular case, to ensure that the weapon takes at least some skill to use rather than it being literally hit-scan.
I am very disappointed: That the PPA remains almost the same just without the mindless hold Left click and a slightly less ammo per magazine.
That is actually far from true. First day's results (with only one day's results though) and the Canister is top performer, PPA close second and Marauder lagging behind.
Sorry weve been living in a state of nerf for 18 months now, its your turn to enjoy being pummeled into the ground for a change. Enjoy the new PPA, not only does it do nothing, it sounds stupid too. I actually laughed at a harasser who tried to kill me with it as i pulled out my decimator blew him sky high. lmao
Dont really care about the PPA, no one on Briggs uses it anyway, most VS weapons are crap anyway (after getting my alts on the other sides to the 50's, most VS weapons are crap, better off using NS stuff....though SOE expect you to pay for those of course,,,)
