Vanu and balancing

The CARV isn't what you should be comparing the Orion to, the MSW-R is.

Default LMG's have different roles between the factions which means they will perform differently which is something most people don't understand.

Everyone know cyclone perform better than other smg, but it's consider normal since the standard NC player have 2% accuracy and those 2% end up in the back of their teammate.

So we have to baby an entire faction because most people can't aim? What about people who transition between 3 factions? They are in a straight up advantage because the guns are just BETTER.

But OFC, everybody is like "Not VS? Not OP". Yup, totally not a much more accurate SMG with best DPM and DPS at any distance and with a super short reload and no downsides whatsoever. So balanced.

TR pop seems to drop off on emerald at night, so they lose all late night alerts. I have no idea why the pop drops, maybe the TR has a lot more children? I'd believe it, considering how often I get intentionally tk'd when I play them.

Whatever the case, it's pretty much impossible to blame weapon balance when pops can vary so much, and we have no idea who is behind the computer for each faction. My experience is almost always better when I play VS, not because we win more alerts, but because they seem to TK me the least. I wouldn't be surprised if putting people into a faction at random actually gave all three factions a closer alert win rate. They all have strengths and weaknesses. I think we might actually be seeing a self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts. Everyone says the VS is the best faction so more people switch to VS. The pop advantage and better players switching over causes them to win alerts, thus making the VS the "best" faction.

I'd like to see more of the experienced members of the community switching sides to help achieve some sort of balance. Maybe whole outfits.

The reason I don't play TR much is due to the amount of players who will TK you for "kill stealing"/repairs/overloading gens. Just now I logged off because of someone C4 5+ people including 2 MAX units during a defence. Apparently he did it "for the lulz."

Or some of us have to work ya know!

The TK thing seems to be getting more common from my noticing. Heck last night I was shooting an empty vs flash since we'd just cleaned the place out, some yokel comes up behind me, guns me down and then kills the flash.

Or I'm standing behind some rocks next to a road reloading my launcher, friendly harasser rolls right up and over me, no shots even coming at him.

Seriously its been a year since I checked this forum and I still find this ****.

I like the cut of your jib.

I think you are forgetting that
NC = FREEDOM = AMERICA = CALL OF DUTY = MODERN SHOOTERS = KIDS/CASUALS/DUDE BROS/PEOPLE WHO DONT KNOW HOW TO SHOOT A GUN IN REAL LIFE OR IN A GAME = TEAM KILLING AND DISORGANIZATION WHILE LARGEST AND MOST POPULAR FACTON.

Alright now that we got that out of the way, we should all be on the same page that NC is catering to the largest demographic, big blocky guns, big blocky armor, MUH FREEDOM.

The other two factions are there for hipsters who don't want to be paired up with the NC demographic.
You either play as the RED tr, or the PURPLE tr, both are pretty much the same.

on cobalt its nothing to do with weapon balance, i think faction balance is fairly good,
the only reason VS usually win is their zergfits.
its usually common to see 2-3 different zergfits rolling over bases as one giant zerg.

while TR and NC also have some zergy outfits,
they're usually spread out enough that random players can sometimes defend against them.
but against the giant zergball of multiple VS zergfits there isn't much that can be done.

Defaults are excitedly what should be compared. Why should someone pay a 1000 certs to get a something similar to what you are given and then its not as good in any way or form. You may think differently if you had to spend many 1000's of certs to have what your given for free and as not as good. Take your Engi starter carbine another top class gun imho.

I did have to spend 1000 certs to get something as good as the Bolt Driver and Cycler though.

Also, the Solstice is statistically the worst of the three starting Carbines so I don't know what you're talking about.

Grandpa, which server do you play on?

Yes, let us nerf the most nerfed faction even further. Obviously, because the other two factions are generally incompetent, we should resort to video game socialism. The hell did the capitalism go, Grandpa? You seem to enjoy playing as ScatMAX.

I play on Emerald.

I`m on miller dude

Yeah, LIBERATORS TOTALLY OP!


...wait. I'm not doing this right, am I?

So basiclly your saying teamwork = OP

As i said on the later, IMHO, i would have that over the Trac everyday of the week and looking at the stats, your statement dose not hold water?

The Solstice is dead last in KPH out of all three starting carbines across all tiers of BR's.

Also, I know what you're problem is with TR's carbines... you can't aim. Try that then tell me the Trac-5 is lacking.
