To answer question, I think the suits are in a good place. I play some assault in Ambush and I have a good time. I don't see where they need a buff but maybe someone could explain the problem to me.
Dropsuits in general are good. I want to steer clear of the constant adjustments to the suits. I want new game modes. Team deploy. Pressing T on keyboard to get comms up. Rep indicators (golden showers) for sentinels.
No adjustments to ADS please, as well. Assaults don't have a role.. Slayers that can be out slain by any other suit... Scouts can tank nearly as much as an assault which they shouldn't be able to but I think heavies and logis are in a good place. Or close enough.
Thanks for the explanation. Your post caused me to ponder a bit.
Is the Assault role really buried beneath all of the new toys that are at the disposal? How would you define an Assault's role in game? From my perspective, there isn't much you can do unless you offer bonuses to entice players to play Assault. But yet that is a bit limiting.
Scouts are fun because they have cloaks and shottys. Sentinels are in because of buff and HMG. Logis are supportive WP whores who can dual tank and kill if need be. And then that leaves assaults, in which their role is slay.
So could it be the problem is that people are having too much fun with the other suits to even consider going Assault?
I know I tried on my Assault earlier this week for the first time in months and I tell you, I had much fun with it. It was refreshing to just slay.
So is it that the assault don't have a role or the assaults don't have an enticing role or various roles within the role? Every other class, you can somewhat play two roles. Scouts you can just hack, cause confusion, flank, provide intel. Heavies you can stalk, point defender, brutally brawl or be a bullet sponge. Logis can heal, revive, scan, resupply and kill. The assaults can only kill and give you a bit of their nanohives |
