Well guess i can get plenty of WPs for almost killing tanks with my FG now...

Kinda? I' am utterly disappointed. AV gets another nerf because of that stupid 3 to 2 grenade number, the only forge gun who really can deal with tanks nowadays is still the proto one which in itself costs more than the tank it needs to kill. Swarm launchers are still ridiculous and the question of the LAV, you only need a heavy suit ass_hole with a HMG and a LAV and hes almost invincible. Sad, just sad. We waited all this time for this? Ambush is the kingdom of Duna and his croonies, and also the tank abusers.

- Grenade count has been reduced by 1 for all grenade types.

Aa little peeved that sleek grenades still recieved this reduction and that AV grenades did not recieve a damage buff.

Rank 3, nothing other than unlocks cloaking.

Nope, cloaks and RE's a now going to be the hard counter to tanks in a really major way. Tank users are going to be up in arms about it.

A bit underwhelming, after 3 1/2 months none of the issues introduced with 1.7 were addressed
I am sure we are going to have some fun with the new toys but I am sure the patch will introduce stuff that's OP/broken. And I guess you won't have time until after Fanfest to address those either

Great job CCP, but i really wish you guys add more new maps to play and murder players....

You can't really say "none of the issues." The rail rifle and combat rifle are getting nerfed a little harder than the rest. But still disappointing to see really nothing besides WP on the vehicle front.

Woooo!

Edit:awww, well AV is dead.

I'm betting that CCP is sitting on them so we get a nice, fat expansion to be announced at Fanfest. All the better to kick off the actual marketing campaign. Their "held back for optimization and performance" excuse is going on too long to be valid.

Sorry, my thoughts were "laserfocused" on the whole AV situation

Do you think they'd announce it in the patchnotes when they change the vehicle prices?
