Can you guess the only 2 certifications to have a drop for 3 consecutive weeks in the amount of players with the certification?

Infiltration suit and ATV. That's it. We all know that the ATV cert isn't widely used except as an occasional placeholder while somebody tries to get that third cert point. Infiltration suit has dropped every week almost equally with each empire. An average of 1.9%, with NC leading the way at 2.3%. I'm sorry to keep harping on this, but the devs made a huge mistake with their infil changes and the class just needs some love. Somehow the game gets a balance pass and the infil get ignored yet again. The least they can do is fix the obvious bugs plaguing only people who bother to cloak, the best they could do would be to make the class work as intended including rolling back the Interlink Facility base benefit as well as fixing the bugs.

I agree with you here. I don't mean to but on my comp I can see infils very easily and I only get killed by them when I am low on health. Hopefully they can and will fix this. They need to improve infil and others such as medic and engineer. Medics need more skills while adding something so easy to add such as an armor bar would allow engineers to help alot more.

If they're going to buff infiltration, they should make the suit cost 3 certs. For a measly 2 certs points, I'm not sure why everyone expects to get a super powered character.

it depends on the buff. I like infiltration the why it is. silent and fast.

Super powered? What are you talking about? You got the suit and dropped it because it was too boring for you. I'm asking that for a measly 2 cert points it actually work as intended, an amazing concept.
Less than half as many people have the infil suit (2 cert points) than have the reinforced armor (3 cert points). We're not talking a swing in the balance of power, we're talking about it working as intended during launch. We're talking about bugs which exist which you were completely unaware of before a few days ago, because they only impact people wearing that suit.
You are invisible, but you trade to get that. No armor, little inventory, slight visibility when moving. That's a decent trade off. Being visible to people as they pop out of spawn tubes, not seeing the DL icon over people's heads about half the time, being too visible in sniper scopes even when crouch walking, that's not part of the deal. That's shoddy code and an inability to trouble shoot after all of this time. And that's not even considering the number of people (as mentioned above) who through no fault of their own can see any infil because their video card just happens to show them.
Then, without fixing any of these numerous (and oft reported) bugs they add a base benefit which further hampers infil abilities. You'll forgive me if I don't take your opinion of how bad the Interlink benefit cripples the infil suit seeing as how you haven't even worn it since the benefit went into effect. The infil suit is ignored consistently by the devs, and suggesting that it should be more cert points just to actually fix it is laughable.

Hmm, looks like I fell for your bait. :rolleyes:

Could you try to make sense please? Much appreciated, hope it won't be too much effort.

We already have another thread for this, please keep it to one thread.

Between bugs, exploits and design flaws, the infiltrator suit can't possibly be working as intended. Arguments that it is 'good enough as is' are equally flawed.

I'm gettting the oddest sense of deja vu, why dont you post it on the official forums.

Come on roll back interlink facility benefit, lemme see since it messes with by yoru own admission as asmall percentage of the population you want to see a coveted tool for defenders completely removed, wonderfull plan.
