Did you miss all the work Rattati did to make vehicles viable?

.

I'm sorry, what?

Two nerfs to rails, nerf and then a quarter buff to large blasters, Nerf to large missiles, two useless buffs to small blasters.

Oh yeah, can't forget adding the SHAVs, the completely useless class of vehicles that no experienced pilot would use.

That is the work that made vehicles viable?

Really?

Now, I am not blaming Rattati for all that, since Wolfman really left a stinker with the vehicle rework in 1.7, but to say Rattati did anything other than marginalize vehicles is flat out false.

Redoing the vehicle progression and going towards the tiericide that so many people begged for.

Narrowing vehicles down to a manageable size that actually could be balanced and getting us closer to vehicle balance than any time in the game.

Adding vehicle damage points which helped out vehicle users far more than A/V users.

At several points in the balancing process leaving tanks 100% indestructible.

Multiple attempts at recycling assets just to give us a form of racial parity even tho the PS3 would not allow it.

The list goes on but the point is just because it was not changes that fit into your picture of what should have been done does not mean they were not worked on.



If by marginalize you mean make them not god mode thus keeping the focus on playing a shooter in a shooter game then okay fine I will concede to your point.

There is no progression in tanks. Not proto, you die, and quick.

Vehicles aren't balanced, they are pointless.

Tanks were god mode in 1.7, which wasn't Rattati, that was wolfman. Know your dust history.

Promises about racial parity are about as valuable as a ruler in a **** measuring contest in a room full of eunichs.

For myself, I preferred the old, pre 1.7 tanks. Easily killed, hard to keep alive, but if you were attentive, and cautious, and the game didn't screw you with invisible swarms and unspottable forge guns, fun could be had.

Whatever, you infantry only scrubs can go suck it. Clearly you and rattati are two peas in the same CoD pod.

It's ******* ridiculous how old this game is, but how much better it is than most console shooters.

And how they're going to ruin it by getting rid of vehicles in Nova...

Remember what i said ccp dont give a **** any other game but eve will be axed for cash novas not going to go anywhere and wach ccp will kill it to off in a yr or so like dust 514 like world of darkness and more its why the next time dont buy **** from ccp fps games
