Why havent strikers been fixed yet?

Is it because they dont know how?

Is it because they don't care that 2/3 of the player pop has to deal with this trash?

Is it because every new TR player buys one?

Now they don't even stop when you use flares. I have tried flying behind everything in sight and im still getting insta gibbed by strikers. Nothing makes me want to log out more than some group of invisible players attacking me every time i get in a dogfight over TR area. Normally i avoid the TR like a plague, but when they push up on our warpgate there is no choice but to fight them, and its just constant beep beep beep. WTF enough already!

All lock on missiles now ignore flares if you deployed flares after they fired a missile. It's not only striker.
But yeah, few TR toys need to be balanced, Striker is the most gamebreaking tool they have.

Yeah... No need to go all conspiracy on this. Liike Trag wrote it's all lock-ons and the devs know about it and are working on a fix.

Just seems odd that the phoenix got fixed in a day. Annihilator got fixed pretty quick too. Striker has been the most overpowered weapon ever in any game i have ever played for how long now? This weapon makes the game so UN-fun to play for so many people. Just WHY?

probably because they are not all that.

I tried one. wasn't too impressed. Never bought it.

Lol, I'm sure they make a lot of money off Strikers, but how many people quit because of them?

Huh? It isn't good? Thats why 99% of TR heavies use one. If i'm in a dogfight and i get locked by a striker its certain death. Invisible guys on the ground doing 80% damage per volley. Yeah thats a terrible weapon. And nm trying to drive a vehicle that doesnt have AB and 320 kph speed. Strikers will just rip you up.

How is a 500 meter lock that never misses not impressive to you? Have you seen the videos?

This isn't a thread for you to defend stupid game mechanics, this thread is trying to determine the logic used in not fixing the striker sooner.

Strikers are the single-most broken piece of unbalanced **** I have ever seen in a multiplayer FPS, I simply see no other reason that they are still not nerfed very hard (to an acceptable level) then that they must have very good sales on that weapon but I do really wonder how many people have left the game because of this weapon.

Here comes more "TR are OP" biased nonsense from players who think the grass is always greener on the other side.

All factions have lock on launchers, the striker merely does a little more damage. It really isnt that useful except in squads or if a pilot hasnt got the sense to fly away after flares. Most TR would take the other factions ESRL over the striker due to it being boring and quite weak.

"Most OP weapon ever" Just no.

"few TR toys need to be balanced" Balanced to what? Majority of TR weapons are either mediocre or inferior, only a few really shine. Unlike most of other factions.

Let's see.

1) Play more multiplayer FPS. For example: Battlefield 3. USAS-12 with fragrounds, M-26 dart, Famas etc.
2) Nerfed how? Hard or to an acceptable level? Are you basing your complaints on the bugged Striker or the fixed Striker. I'm guessing bugged since it's been bugged for so very long.
3) You really think that sales have a say in balancing down the line?
4) Same as have left because of the ZOE? As in probably very few. For those who left PS2 because of the bugs, balance issues etc. it probably has more to do with the amount of said bugs and other issues than one in particular. Even if one issue could be the final straw.

That written, I would still rather have the Striker not be a lock-on weapon because it's a boring mechanic.

Marauder, vulcan and striker mediocre or inferior? riiiiight... sure we're playing the same game?

It probly seems like things are fine when you play TR and you dont fly or drive a vehicle. If all you ever do is ground pound, im sure the striker is fine for you.

If you fly all three factions you will revel in the silence when you fly around in yer skeeter. When you fly NC or VS and find yourself over TR area you will quickly say to yourself wtf did i fly over TR area, and go to look for the other faction if you can escape the beep zerg.

Here we go, another 'Whine whine whine, TR is so OP! NERF NERF NERF!

You lot have lock on launchers, they are 250 Certs a pop, they can be swapped at any Sundie, and they work like a Striker... Yet none of you use them, ever...

Also the Striker sucks now, un less your a bad pilot who does not understand how to use obstacles for half a second it takes to break a lock.

I just wanna say i think all g2a lockons are in need of a complete rehaul. Lock-ons are bad 'mkay?

those last days are horrible.. TR coccooning is so evident in SOE strategy.
striker was broken, so instead of handicap 1 faction, it's better to handicap the 2 others
SOE logic..

yes striker is greatly OP, i am talking in my point of view of multifaction air pilot.
it's so pleasant to fight NC and VS compared to TR when you fly..only flaks and lock-on are so rare just admit it hypocrit


We all know why the so asked striker nerf will never be implemented:

as the most OP weapon of the whole game, Striker is of course the best Sale..

you just forgot that all TR hvy have a striker in their bag, including noob zerg... and how many VS or NC bought air-lock or ground-lock missile launcher (which are **** compared to striker..) and travel with it?!
as a TR you are assured that your menace is instant locked if you back at 500m of your TR front, that's not the case for VS or NC.
So so unbalanced sorry

there so much more argument given for 1 year now on this forum but useless discussion as dev dont care.

This thread is new and original and I am proud to be a part of it.

I haven't straight up Striker crying thread in a few day. I was started to get worried that you guys ran out of tears.

You know what I'd like it if Sony would give the other factions the Striker for just a week and we'll see how much you like it when the shoe is on the other foot. You can fly but not without flares you can drive a vehicle but not without Smoke. The TR have the advantage of actually not having to equip any hard counter if they don't want to and can actually use <gasp> something else. The NC and the VS are basically forced to equip the hard counter or die in a flaming pile of wreckage. Just 2-3 guys with the Striker basically turn the area around them into a no fly/no drive zone forcing us to dismount and foot zerg you all the while your vehicles pound us to death.

Oh look, ANOTHER STRIKER THREAD. Haven't seen one of these in seconds!
