If you had to buff the other factions, what would you do?

[exohkay]

Rather than calling for nerfs, what would you buff about other factions?

I'd change the acceleration of the Vanguard. It's got horrible acceleration, and is a pain to use without racer3.

I would buff the NC's Jackhammer to it's PS1 iteration, you don't know OP until you've seen that thing.

I would also bring back the TR MAX lockdown mechanic.

i would make all the weapons common pool, then we could see the cream rise to the top. weapons should never determine the winner,only skill should

[Ghoest9]

Id make their MAX suits about 15% better.

PS1 Jackhammer would be severely underpowered or at most average at particular ranges in PS2 as it had no range and heavily relied on third person while it took more shots to kill with than most PS2 shotguns...

Besides, the other empires would get the same type of shotgun advantage in their shotguns: you don't even notice it is empire specific.


But with topics like this, I'm mostly wondering what reason there'd be to buff anything, since everything is in my view OP to the point of "never mind, not fun".

And that is really zapping my fun.

Give MAXes these weapons.

TR- Dual chaingun, CQC weapon.
Each arm has 2 chain guns that are half the size but deal about half damage. They also have at least 2 times the ROF with the spread of a shotgun.

VS- Force wave CQC weapon.
Think of the force gun from Dead Space. Fires a cone of energy that deals massive damage at under 5m but far less the longer the range. (an energy shotgun without pellets)

NC- Gauss rail system range weapon.
A slower firing Gauss Saw more or less.

[Rothnang]

I don't know about buffing the other factions. I'd probably make the factions all a little more unique in the way they play.

[AThreatToYou]

I'd buff both the Lasher and minichaingun.

I would also buff the Pounder and Comet.

[bpostal]

I'd give the JH some identity. Distinguish it from every other shotgun out there.
Then I'd bitch until it was nerfed to it's current state :D

Also, something something fuck Magriders! (Seriously, just switch the main gun with the secondary)

[MrVicchio]

Give Vanu a manly color scheme, and redo their max's to not look so comical

NC I'd give them a shot of testosterone.

Crabmaxes are the best!

VS:
- I would think the VS MAX as I don't see them used that often, not as much as TR's, but the times I have ran into them, they were just as effective as the TRs, so I'm not to sure. I guess the lack of seeing much VS MAX makes me feel that they are UP. Strange because I have fought agaisn't VS more lately than TR but I always see TR MAXs.

This is the only thing I can see at the moment. As an NC player, I feel that the other faction items are performing as good if not better than what we have.

...

Dude, four words: MAX Heavy Weapon Systems!
Weapons so big they require an extra power brace on the off hand in order to use.

TR- MAX Needler, basically a stripped down version of the Mosquito's default gun.

NC- MAX Anti-Material Rail Cannon, a Sniper Rifle able to do shaped explosive piercing damage to Vehicles as well as Infantry.

VS- MAX Plasma Ball Launcher, a cannon that shoots a ball of plasma that expands on contact with a surface, lingering for a short period of time to do damage to anything foolish enough to pass through the crackling purple sphere.

I'd buff both the Lasher and minichaingun.
I don't know about the Lasher, but the MCG is actually pretty good if you know how to burst fire it while aiming-down-sights...

...Now if only it's extended Magazines weren't apparently bugged...

I would also buff the Pounder and Comet.
YAY! :D

Also, something something fuck Magriders! (Seriously, just switch the main gun with the secondary)
INDEED! :mad:

Honestly the Vanu MAX is one of the few things they have that DOES look cool...

Really the faction could use more Giger-esk Techno-organic designs...
...And Face-plates, those Judge Dredd visors really look much more badass with face-plates.

Makes them look more "Possibly no-longer human" and less "Censored to Protect their Identity."
