And because of people like you who have the attention span of 5 seconds need new content every 30 seconds. CCP doesnt know who to please. People like me or people like you. So there "attempts" at balancing are just hot fixes. Not actual balancing. They play it like one and done.
First the game hasn't seen a serious content infusion since I started playing it more than a year ago. In that time we have gotten three new weapons and and seven drop suits, so your 30 second analysis is just grossly incorrect. Second, when I asked you to define balance I meant for you to give us a balanced version of this game that EVERY other person reading this would agree with. Which you cannot do. Infact I challenge you to to even propose one balance fix that everyone would agree with for even one aspect of this game. Third how can one even expect to attempt to balance this game when all of the core content does not even exist yet. In the future more core content will be added which will inevitably throw any attempt at a current balance right out the window.
No i cant give you exact number on how this need to be. No one can. But i can tell you scouts don't have enough pg or cpu to even scout. A SMG is better CQC than HMG right now. The AR dps is too high. The overall health on suits widen the proto stomping even more. The passive scanning skills are miniscal. The plasma cannon is more of a troll. AV needs less dps. Tanks need more pg or better harderns. FG can single handely watch points in skrim, need either more charge up or less spalsh to infantry. I can tell even more things that need to be fixed. I know this game. So don't come off as someone who knows it all ***.
All I am saying is that two things have happend. NUMEROUS failed attempts at balance, and content starvation. What I am saying is add the rest of the core content then go back to trying to balance.
Now let's take a look a some of your examples:
"scouts don't have enough pg or cpu to even scout."
Scouts are supposed to be able to cloak. How can we balance scout when we don't even have cloaks yet?
"A SMG is better CQC than HMG right now."
In my opinion the SMG is a fine weapon. So how would you propose to bug the HMG with out making it imbalanced.
"The AR dps is too high"
I don't at all agree with you.
"The plasma cannon is more of a troll."
There are plenty of people who enjoy using the plasma cannon. It is a niche weapon. In my opinion the weapon needs some work, but do will an attempt at balancing this weapon bring it in line or further unbalance the game. It is a splash weapon after all.
"AV needs less dps. Tanks need more pg or better harderns."
Do you realize how manny iterations and attempts at "balance" v vs. av have gone through now? All of them unsuccessful. What reason do we have to believe that a merciless will occur any time soon.
"FG can single handely watch points in skrim"
So can snipers. Snipers can also kill these FGs and snipers can in turn be hunted down. Is this even a balance issue at all?
"I can tell even more things that need to be fixed."
And who is to say that any one would agree with you at all, let alone how to go about doing it.
