SOE Why do you hate the TR?

Wow. So much wrong.

I think you meant slowest mbt.

Really? ill trade you my scythe for the fastest most manoeuvrable esft... The mosquito, any day.

Nah, **** lockons. They should replace the Striker with a fracture-like fast firing rocket launcher.

And get rid of your ability to farm ground better than any other ESF? Like hell you would.

I would

So then we wouldn't just have Pounders spamming doorways etc...but Strikers to boot. Constant rocketspam. Awesome.

I can feel my jimmies rustling already.

Yeah this game needs more rocketspam it's not enough like TF2 with tanks already !

There's going to be some kind of spam coming from all three factions. If we're luxurious enough to be able to pick our poisons ...

The Racer frame doesn't give a flat 5KPH per rank for every tank. The Prowler (without Racer) tops out at ~60KPH, while with Racer it tops out at ~70KPH. I'm pretty sure the Racer frame gives varying benefits (I thought the Magrider benefited the most from the frame at least, not just percentage-wise).

FYP.

They balance the game (and the TR) because it is the only thing to do in an MMOFPS; be glad you were above the average for so long.

Nobody from TR will be as epic as Duke

The Brass called, OP is going back to boot camp

Pretty much agree, except for:

4. I'm not convinced Strikers "need" a buff; their front loaded DPS (anything upto a reload) does give them a significant advantage over Anni's - it's just they aren't all around better than Anni's like they were for 6 months now. They are currently about at the same level as the other ESL, and any buff would likely result in the other two needing to buffed too.

&

6. ESF balance isn't bad, in fact it is pretty close, but I'd still say it was Scythe>Mozzy>Reaver in general, although it slightly depends how you look at it (A2A, A2G, generally etc. - although that's largely a case of swaping the first two around with the Reaver still slightly tailing).

I agree TR needs a slight buff. And a couple of NC things nerfed a tad.

But...
I don't play as a group so I LOVE that NC is the new TR.
It makes playing a sniper amazing. So many kills.
I'd still love to see all the factions be a bit on par at the moment, although it will likely never happen.

I think TR is in a good place. They have accurate fast firing guns, the TR maxes are more accurate than the VS ai maxes. The pounder is the new fracture.

I would rate the Mozzie as the best esf over the other two.

Scythe being the best ESF ATM does not mean it is OP... Stop crying guys.

As soon as something that was ridiculously OP gets a deserved nerf to a normal power (see Fractures, only to quote them) you guys say it is "useless"...

The ONLY things that deserve cries are the Harasser and the Vulcain mounted on prowler (and I don't even play TR).

ZoE is still very good (I repeat, not anymore OP or instagibbing everything does not mean it is now useless), fractures are too, NC MAX shotguns deserved their nerf and are still very very powerful, strikers are much more situational (understand : not anymore "click and destroy anything through walls") but still very efficient in open space against wreckless pilots (see Esamir in general or Indar north western area).

Now guys stop whining or saying devs hate you or anything. The game is ATM very balanced and if you don't agree with this you have two options:
- create and level up to BR30 a character in the "OP" factions.
- quit and go back to CoD or BF4 or any of these games that are perfectly "balanced" as there is no difference between factions.

Regards.


PS : and this debate about MBT max speed... My vanguard would be able to reach 200KPH I wouldn't care. What is the point in having the greatest max speed in combat situation ? "I AM ABLE TO GO TO THE NEXT BASE FASTER THAN YOU"

Does this mean the Vanu should get ZOE un-nerfed as well?

No, TR still leads in a variety of weapon classes and platforms while NC hardly any. Do you people ever have any evidence to support your arguments or it is always baseless personal opinion?
