I can't really complain. I wish the infiltrator was done sooner, but that's just bias on my part as someone who mains it.

[camycamera]

it is good that they are starting with the infiltrator first, although i feel that the LA should be next on the line of revamps, then engineer and then HA. Medic is a fine class as it is at the moment, but honestly i dont really mind, as long as we are getting class revamps.


as for tools, i think what they are adding to the infiltrator is great, although i would like to see a couple of things for the infiltrator:

that spotting gun from PS1 that puts large arrows above vehicles etc

and a revamp of hacking. i would like to see a hacking tool in which infiltrators can use to hack things. also, with the hacking tool it would make the infiltrator's job a little bit more useful if the infiltrator was the only class allowed to overload generators, by using the hacking tool. that would be much better. also, hacking of vehicles would be a nice addition to add from PS1.

I'm fine with the order of the revamps. They had to pick some sort of order and no matter what order SOE chooses they will dissappoint someone because that player's preferred class is being looked at later rather than sooner.

My preferred class is Combat Medic. For the Medic I would like to see a more precise way to "aim" the medic tool. Right now if you go to ressurect a player whose body happens to be close to another body the tool does not always lock onto the corpse you're looking for. I don't know if the reticule for the medic tool can be made more precise, but I think this would be a good quality of life improvement in larger engagements particulalry.

Second to that I like to play engineer. I know the engineer gets alot of gadets as it is, but one more won't hurt. :D I want to bring back the spitfire turret in some form. For those that don't knwo the spitfire was a small automatic turret that fired on enemies automatically. I had great fun in PS1 setting up spitfire and mine traps and I'd like to do this again.

Can you give us the order in the OP?

Can you give us the order in the OP?

Right now they have announced that Infiltrators are getting the first pass, then Medics. After that, there is no information. Speculation is that Light Assault will be after Medics, but again, no concrete data.

So, thoughts?
