As I've said before in any HAV vs AV topic:
I was under the impression that this game was supposed to reward players for specializing in a specific role. Tankers did exactly that and became the best pilots they could be. Their effective counter AV was left behind and neglected by AR purists, CoD casuals, or people too ignorant to realize that militia AV isn't supposed to kill a prototype tank. The word nerf got thrown around more than a NERF corporate TPS report from crybabies because they couldn't blow up an HAV with an assault rifle. Instead of CCP replying with a smile and a HTFU, tankers got nerfed. For what? They were the only players in this game playing it correctly. They specialized in their role and because it wasn't infantry shield tanking caldari assault with an AR, they got burned. Heavies suffered a similar fate at the beginning of every build. We need to face facts here, this isn't Dust 514 anymore, it's AR 514, the futuristic version of CoD, fluffed up with a sat sheet that doesn't matter because you still die to 3 bullets. They sure put the CoD in Codex on this build.
Will any of this change on May 6-14th? Only time will tell. But at the rate things are going and the direction this game is going. Variety will truly be dead if they stick to this path. |

Well in all fairness they got nerfed because ALL the matches turned into both teams spamming tanks. I personally used to like it. Now its WAY too easy to destroy tanks.
What? Should this entire game be about infantry? What's the point of even having vehicles then? You seen those badass trailers where it looks like freaking D-Day with clone soldiers, tanks, dropships, and LAV going through line harvest wrecking **** before a bunch of instillations rain down to clean up. I want that game. |

Sorry, so much drama on here lately, I can't keep track of who's on what side anymore. Hell, I don't even know who's side I'm on anymore. I used to think tanks were OP, then I started rolling with tankers learned better. I use AV when needed, but the satisfaction is gone since they're so damn easy to kill now. I miss the old days of when you saw that red diamond players were like "Oh ****! it's a TANK!" now it's "Heh, it's just a tank..."
If Uprising is any indication of the direction HAV is going, I feel even worse for tankers than I do now. Hell, I might not even try to kill an HAV after May 6th out of sheer pity. |
