HEY guys look who said the forum whiners would get ZOE nerfed into nothing but a gimped version of Charge! It looks like I'm freakin' amazing. Here comes the same kind of crap that happened to the Magrider. Well there goes VS MAX, back to the most useless class in the game. Considering a Rank 5 ZOE only useful on Comets, and Comets have a TTK over 8 seconds for almost ALL vehicles, it looks like you won't even be able to get a vehicle kill with them. Once again VS moves back to the sub-20% range in world populations.
I'm glad they are nerfing it, tired of purple lobsters dominating infantry combat. Unlike vehicles you can't get away from them in a biolab.
I don't even play a max. But I have to say, CONGRATS TR and NC! NICE JOB! You people are absolutely PRO at NERFSIDE 2.
Do we know if it's still toggle or is it like solid fuel? If it's just on until depletion without being able to turn it off manually, that is for a large part unacceptable. However, if it's still toggle-based, I do believe 8 seconds is a bit too short. Maybe 10-11 seconds would be more reasonable?
Yep. Looks like ZOE's going to be tossed into the garbage pit the Magrider was tossed into in February and has only just recently managed to Magburn out of.
I'll be requesting an immediate cert refund if this goes to the Live server. 2000+ certs into an ability that will be nerfed into uselessness within a few weeks of release is a ******* joke.
Calm down nerd, problem with ZOE is the movement buff absolutely negated the armor debuff. ZOE was pretty much a direct upgrade to the VS MAX as you could move in and out of cover and more importantly, escape a LOT easier. Although I do agree the 8 seconds of sustained use is overdoing it, the armor debuff is still an okay change, not what I feel really needs to happen, but it's a start that we can play around with. I would of personally taken away the movement speed buff and just see what would happen.
I'm rather sure you've made over 5K certs during the month. If you haven't no amount of OP will make you a good player.
Just make ZoE a passive ability, the only problem with ZoE is that you can turn it off when being focused.
This is why I only invested in rank 1 We'll see how this plays out, my guess is not well. The swing will probably make it nearly useless. Trying to balance it against Charge is going to be a headache and a half. This is still on TEST though so it's all subject to change before a patch.
Everybody knew it was going to be nerf one way or the other. There is a reason you put so much certs into it... Try as much as you want. You will not get those certs back.
I bet ZOE will still recharge fairly quickly. My guess (until someone on Test can tell us) it'll be like a jetpack recharge.
