It's no longer viable because you are no longer an uber powerful stomp machine?

Changing anything = DESTROYED GAME

I disagree. I think that there will be the opposite of a honeymoon period. People right now find some of these changes hard to stomach because they're so used to the old build. But once you play the new build enough you'll get adjusted and more comfortable with how things work. I think that some of the changes that people currently hate,we will eventually look back and say that it was for the best. Just give it some time, I'm already starting to warm up to it with a 'second impression'.

Let me ask you doomsayers something if you were making a game and it had problems and people kept qqing raging ranting etc how would you handle the situation?

Agree with most things, Duvolle Tactical is only viable gun right now, but you gotta admit, the LAV is much better now, easier to control and maneauver.

I am a new player with low SP and starter gear.

Without drastic changes that these 'elite" claim need to be made i am leaving the game.

So yes new players leaving after the changes is not viable.


Also if people are worried about OP "Elite" why not advocate for removing the leveling/grinding/skill point system entirely?

If you want to level the playing field then level the friggin playing field. Give everyone the same level of powers same choices regardless of how long you have played then lets see who is "elite" and who is not.

Nerfing random weapons for balance to accomplish the same thing not only does not accomplish the balance you want but breaks the game in whole new ways to be piled upon the other broken inequalities/unbalance that already exists.

Note: I have gone up against "Elite" imperfects. I do see some good game play (not elite but good team work, good aim etc)...but i have also seen terrible game play (running out into fields, not flanking, bunching up, soloing, not counter flanking etc) . I don;t know if they are relying so heavily on their SP and gear that they got lazy by letting the gear and SP carry them so they are good but are just being lazy or maybe they are not good and simply are elite because they have a gear/sp advantage. to be honest it would be nice to see imperfects come out and play with starter gear...the fact that i have never see them do that tells me that maybe they are not elite but simply relying on their gear/sp advantage to carry them.

They never published number of players online until now. Where are you getting this information?

Sorry, you may have misunderstood me. I'm not saying you should wait for more changes. I'm saying that they changed so many things all at once that it'll take a bit for everyone to adjust to the new balance. Some nerfs went overboard, and hopefully they'll get tweaked. But on the whole I think they did a lot of things right that people will appreciate more as they play the next two weeks or so.

you had me going until you said that LAVs were perfect last build.
You just invalidated everything else you said because if you think that, you really should actually go out and drive for a bit.

Vehicles aren't weightless cardboard that fly as soon as you hit a hill going 30. LAVs now are still far from perfect but at least i have some choices on how to map the dumb controls.
