FoTM Prediction Thread! Also FotM nostalgia thread!
In light of the armor changes I'm putting my money on Core Locus Grenades. Maybe a Thukker here and there.
Mass Drivers are gonna become oh so prevalent. Maybe Flaylocks will return!
Are Viziams gonna make a comeback?

I know core grenades or even M1s are gonna be put on the table, just a matter of when people will people spec into adv/proto nanohive and sit on it spamming grenades.
I see little reason for there to be even be a straight upgrade past standard level grenades. My guess is they're gonna treat it the same way they did proto contact nades, increased damaged means a smaller blast radius. Seems fair enough to me. |

Here's something you haven't taken into account- they're just miniature versions of ARs; so like ARs, the community doesn't give 2 ***** about how powerful they happen to be. |

I don't think the nerf MD trend is dying quite yet although I wish it would, so we might see that get nerfed soon. With the new sights for lasers and scramblers we might see a quick rise in those, but I don't think it'll last. SMGs are great but their significantly lower range than ARs will probably mean ARs will still stay on top.
This is a bit of a long shot, but I'm putting my money on seeing the HMG heavy making a comeback. |

In terms of suits I think Amarr mediums are going to be ridiculous. Especially logistics.
Now that they can reliably armor tank they can use those high slots to pump out damage. |

MD and forge are doomed already, I just hope they don't make the forge less useful against vehicles and only nerf it's ability towards infantry (although not touching it at all would be nice).
As for future FoTM? Hmm, well it depends.
- New laser scope will most certainly make it easier to use/aim, which may draw too much attention to the weapon. We know as of recently since a few started to actually use it, that the LR is not useless but that the sights are just so terrible.
- Plasma cannon as it is now, sucks. But it definitely is going to get a buff sometime soon, which could make it a prime target for abuse (and we all know how this community feels about explosive weapons).
- Core nades? I'm actually surprised people are crying about it now, they are immensely devastating granted you can cook properly. And can OHK most suits in it's 7.2m blast radius (it's also incredibly useful for air-bursting due to it's range).
- Shotguns? I've seen some extremely deadly players using shotguns, regularly getting 30+ kills in ambush. But I see even more players doing terrible with it, so dunno what the deal is. But it has the potential for FoTM
- AR's? Well, these are the FoTD (flavor of the decade) and will remain so till the end of the time. |

I also don't agree that armor is going to become OP. Reps are still slow, and you won't get repaired unless you're running in the pack, which not everyone does. Try going a solo heavy to know what I'm talking about. |

Ha, so your a "real" heavy then huh? Do you also sprint across open plains to cap objectives too? |

If you are dumb enough to be in its range, well yeah,like any other CQ weapon. But a SMG that costs 40k + and so much CPU-PG to equip is supposed to be good.
Problem is that people confuse good with OP, because in the eyes of the defeated, they never were defeated because of lack of skill,but because the enemy was using a superior-cheap weapon/tactic. Look at me, i whine of LAV all the time... |

The lower slot count on Amarr suits makes me think otherwise. A PRO Amarr Assault has 3 High, 3 Low, and even the shield-tankin Caldari Assault also has 3 low (and the Amarr gets a "laser" bonus, no special armor bonus) (Cal-Logis have more low slots than Amarr Assaults as well). If anyone can go lop-sided with the new armor changes, it's the 5-low Gallente Logi or 4-low Amarr Sentinel.
That being said, that's supposed to be the point, right? Up until now, the high slots have been mostly more desirable for damage and shield-extender dominance. The fact an Amarr Sentinel had 4-low slots was mostly seen as less desirable than the Basic Heavy that could stack more damage mods.
If armor tanking becoming more viable becomes a "thing", then it's a net good for actually having both sets of slots be desirable/viable.
The commando is the only suit that gets an armor-plate bonus, and it only gets 1 low slot at PRO. |
