Why the Fracture is overpowered

What's so special with ZOE MAX that you need to be good at? If you play the ZOE MAX as you play your heavy, you're all but set.

Just imagine your heavy has a perma shield on, no rockets and a shotgun with two slugs when using the comets.

I love how the VS heavies were plinking max with smallarms instead of using stock dumbfire LOL

Yes, imo AV maxes are balanced but people are just whinning around and don't use them as they should. Maybe the NC max have a bug against infantry but it requires a fix not a nerf for the other factions.

The problem isn't really MAX AV weapons though it is the Fracture.

Well, all empire AV weapons will become as good as the VS vortex, aka useless against infantry (even bursters are better) and MAXes carrying AV weapons will become free kills (at least with the ZOE MAX I can attempt to close the gap and punch kill infantry).

Another recent poster linked a video of the Comet being just as overpowered against infantry. Ravens aren't quite int he same ballpark, but still probably deserve a reduction (and Falcons are surprisingly awful.)

It's clearly bad balance to have a weapon which is strong against everything, unless that weapon is only moderately effective (like the Basilisk is for vehicles.) It deprives the game of interesting decisions.

Yeah

, because he is a max. All maxes are scary

Not really. MAX's are scary when you don't have a solution for dealing with them. There are more solutions for dealing with NC MAX's than there are with the others.

Yeah I suppose the Comet is pretty powerful too, but not as bad at the Fracture.

combined with ZOE its at least as powerful as a fracture max.
The fracmax in the vid was NOT able to hit the strafing ZOEs!

The main issue with the comet is not it's power (data suggests that fractures are twice as effective in comparison anyway). The main issue is the same with the striker, aka, it is very widespread. In the case of the comet, it's widespread because the cert requirment is rather low (you need one hand (and a cheap one at that, and the first level of ZOE to get the full potential)

In any case, all MAX AV weapons will be nerfed to oblivion, so I don't see that as much of an issue in the near future.

All I saw in that movie was a TR Fracture Max with very good aim, plenty of support and good cover. Anyone with eyes open would've noticed he gets repaired almost constantly.

VS on the other hand had little support, ran into the room in small groups, hardly used decimators, kept bringing Anti-Infantry loadouts even though they knew there where max units there.

The fracture might do a tad too much dmg vs infantry, but keep in mind they are direct hits. So if that had been an unexperienced player he would've never gotten that many kills.

Yeah ZOE is nice........ but imagine Fracture with ZOE.

Fracture max basically does what old scatmax/hackmax did yet its not op

I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but fracture damage to infantry is terrible at best. 80% or so of the targets he hit were only assists. Those VS were getting hammered, HAMMERED by a dual extended mag mutilator MAX. The fracture's contribution was almost negligible. If you're gung ho to get something of TR's nerfed by whining, then go for the weapons that actually make an impact on the field ^^

A million times this. I stopped watching after 3 minutes because those VS played beyond stupidly and let themselves become piecemeal farm material.

Edit: Also people still complaining about MAXs. At 350 resources and on a spawn timer they should rip your face off and you should be scared of them.

Straight infantry whiners ruin everything that sets this game apart from CoD or the dozens of other infantry centric FPS games.

I just went up against a fracture with a dual raven. I had no chance. That Fracture tore up my max and more than a squad of infantry. I can only conclude that some of you TR are deliberately decieving us to keep your unfair advantage.

Again, I play TR, I have a maxed out TR max with dual fractures. That TR MAX is an absolute beast.

So you missed the 2 medics on the stair, the other max and the heavy assault also firing at most of those enemies as part of the guys platoon?

except unnoticably short reloads while blasting constant heavy damage suppression from a distance is nothing like close range instagibbing a couple of guys followed by a 4 second reload.
its not bias, its not QQ its just facts, NC max sucks when compared with TR/VS.

Yea, it was the medics and the other max. Riiiiggghhhhtttt....

I do understand why you want to keep your unfair advantage TR. That dual fracture max, is really powerful. I know, I have one. That thing is seriously overpowered
