These are my opinions on the changes and what I think of the game overall.
1. HMG nerf. We all knew it was coming. I decided long ago that I wasn't going to go heavy again this build. We didn't know the nerf would be so bad. It is nearly a 30% reduction in dmg and people are saying a 50% reduction in range. Yet people seem to be doing well with it regardless. Is it bad to admit a few have killed me? Heavies are no longer viable as solo, you are dependant on your team. They can't shoot a dropship out of the sky anymore and they can destroy LAVs in less than 30 sec anymore. They can't dominate from overhead anymore either. Seems like CCP has a vision for them and we were not following it.
2. Laser. Yay, again it still seems potent. They still have crazy range and can still chop us all in half. You sure they been nerfed?
3. Weapon ranges, they have all been adjusted. Makes maps seem larger, makes several old strategies impossible. It is balance. I feel like weapon fitting are close and that when we get weapon fittings all of the nerfing will make sense.
4. Aiming. Honestly, everything feels alien to me. The whole game felt different, they I move, the way things look, and the aiming. Feels like a new pair of tightywhiteys, once I wear it for a week without washing it will conform to my features.
5. Maps and framerate. Nice try but no cigar guys. This is bad, I cannot sugarcoat this no matter how hard I try, and believe me, I am seriously, trying to give you the benefit of the doubt. You said you reworked the maps, you didn't say you fixed them and I should have understood that. Maps got reworked and a whole new set of bugs to fix. One bug remained, the one where framerate goes crazy and I can't even play.
To sum up, I like it! I will need to get used to a few things but I am enjoying myself and so are the other 5k players that still play. A few points to make. Why have beta test if you don't test anything on it? You guys could have tested this stuff to make sure it works, but you used the test server? So instead you drop a bunch of untested stuff on us and expected us to love it. For future refernce, test this stuff with gamers first. Unless this weeknwas the final test and you are pulling all nighters to get it right.
Anyway, hope the feedback helped. Remember to test stuff before launching it. |
