I totally disagree. Some of the weapons were so ridiculously stronger than others making others completely obsolete. Simply adding more suit variants would not have solved this problem.

When you started playing? Weapons and dropsuits have both been in the cycle. I would love to move on from the topic but I guess theres nothing else to discuss

See what i was trying to say was that if the dropsuits never changed from the beta suits then the weapons wouldn't have been OP.

Back then the suit roles were more defined then they ever were after the racial suits were added.

Do were really need 4 different assault, 4 different logi, 4 different scout, 4 different sentinel suits, especially when half of them are not used either because they are the weaker ones or the passive skills are not what they want?

So you want less content in a game already sparse on content...

Now this isnt saying the suits are unbalanced by why anyone would want to go back to the days of each race only having one role is beyond me

What i want is the content we have to be more balanced then it is.

And if think the game has sparse content in it then i think you need go look up what sparse means.

with 8 different suit for each race and the almost every type of weapon for each race along with all the modules and equipment, tank LAVS, ADS and modules and equipment for them. How can you even talk but sparse content, tbh i really believe that its all the content that's in the game that unbalances it.

32 different drop suit ( not counting militia suits ) how can that ever get balanced properly?

KDR matchmaking fixes this. It might even cure halitosis.

How does that factor Logis in?

Logis don't operate in a vacuum.

Why are we stuck in this endless nerf-buff cycle for weapons when when the drop suits are not even balanced properly as of yet?

99% of the nerfs and buffs to weapons could have been avoided if the drop suits were balanced correctly in the first place.

I personally believe that the drop suits were best in closed and open beta before they added they racial suits, there were 2 of every class but 1 type to choose from.

All the drop suits has a shield and armor type i.e Assault C-1 and assault C-2

The difference between the 2 was that the shield type had a slightly different slot lay out then the armor type.
They were the most balanced drop suits in the game.

With the addition of the weapons that focus on more damage to shields or to armor, the original beta suits would be a much better option then having 4 different suits for each class and having to try and balance each suit, but the problem is that when you change something about 1 type of suit then it either becomes to weak or to string against all the other suits.

It doesn't and he keeps tap dancing around the question when people pose it.
