When will hack MAXs get adjusted?

This is a pointless thread!
All the NC whining about how there not OP!
JEES!
Almost every battle is close quarters!
Nerf this piece off overused garbage people get frustratred about it daily!
ever wonderd why NC is most played faction? THIS a whole bunch off new players that gets rapped switches to NC so he can do to...

I bet you're one of the players that sprints and guns into a room without thinking, depending entirely on twitch-shooting skills rather using tactics to outmanuever a clanky CQC-purposed MAX?

No i am one off the players that avoids nc biolabs when there zerged into it and run from a max when i see it, cause i know whenever i want to go into a room from the moment i pop to recon the room i can be dead in 0.5 sec.

Large, slow, mechanized armour suit with quintuple-barrelled shotguns can kill you at close range in one hit?

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE, SIR!

I'd be in favor for all factions have miniguns and shotguns, so the rest of you would stop ********

. But then I'd also want a hover tank with the ability to fire twice before reloading.

Factions need their little niches to make them unique, because if they don't then we're all just the same and that's boring.

Every faction has its strong points, and weak points, and the NC know that our MAXs are strong in CQC, and we play in a style that uses our strengths.

Alright Im sorry if i need to walk out of my spawn room just to find a NC max unit posted just out of sight of Our windows and just Crouched there killing everyone..... At every spawn point there is In A bio lab.... Can't exactly get around that///And when or iF you switch to the Landing pads you NC put one of them max suits in and around every Corner or building in the Area. And there seems to be a habit with NC....90% of the time....i get killed by an NC they have a Shotgun.......go figure.....90% of the time when i die from a VS Its a SMG.....and I havent A clue how it goes between the 2 for TR...Im still using my stock guns except on my light Assault and Coaker.

The niche of having a CQC ability being 10 times more powerful vs a mid range only being 10% more powerful is never going to balance out. Adjustments are needed. Statistics don't lie

So what to do? Buff one or nerf the other? I think niche is a poor choice of word. It doesn't apply at all between ESF's and MBTs. They have advantages and disadvantages over each other that balance out. These are unique qualities, not niches. The only niche difference in this game is the Short range power of the scat vs the mid range power of the others. It's not appropriate, will never balance, and will continue to frustrate people out of their minds until it is changed. Years and years went by on the lasher/quasar vs scat/jackhammer debates in PS1. Nothing ever changed and people kept quitting and quitting.

Giving one faction a Close range advantage over the other will never balance or sit right with those on the weaker side of it. This is where the combat counts and has no room for favoritism. The unique ability of the NC is to have slower harder hitting weapons, not CQC dominance.

Ok, so NC need a significant buff of the Reaver and a massive buff of the Vanguard. Is that your point?

The VS anti infantry weapons are garbage at any range.

If the statistics say so, then yes. Numbers don't lie.

They lie when you take no other data into account.

There's no breakdown between AA, AV or AI MAX. If one faction mainly used Bursters versus NC mainly using AI in large Bio Lab fights, I know which faction's numbers would be higher.

Just look at the MBT page - 146,000 tanks used for 1 hour or more compared to 8100 MAX.. look at the figures when you take into account players with BR50 or better, it's even worse for the NC. The ESF scores are significantly better for the NC but we're still far behind. Land and air is stacked highly against us so I guess there will be no satisfaction until we're also unable to defend ourselves with a MAX that has such pitiful range that most people using them stand behind a door.
