don't know about you but I thought the prowlers projectile speed was fine.....

Some good stuff here. I like that the annihilator lock on is getting bumped to 3 seconds. Gives a reason to specialise your weapons.

Can't wait for those account bound SC purchases. My SKEP Gun is locked on a different server, so to speak.

No Magrider fix yet?

How convenient. People tell you not to nerf something, you say you're not going to nerf it, then it mysteriously gets bugged and seems to never be fixed!

edit: For those who think it's not relevant or doesn't need to be fixed, I ask you to look at population numbers of server. Notice the massive drop in VS populations across all servers since this 'bug'? I'm sure some of you will say you don't notice, unfortunately the population %'s are quite obvious during prime times for each server.

And there ya go: Many people were only playing the VS, because Magriders were lolroflmaoEZmode over powered. That's why we used to see more Magriders than VS infantry (or any other unit) and it was sickening really...

Yeah, no sympathy from most people on that one man. Sorry.

"Dancing Bear Distraction Cannon or nothing!", I say. Point, shoot, enthrall, capture the map in peace and harmony.

Convenient? I very much doubt that the devs regard it as being convenient, seeing as they have to find out what went wrong and fix it.
You don't still believe that the devs are, for some strange reason, trying to nerf the VS out of spite, do you?

Might I suggest that you stop it with the conspiracy theories about the devs and your fellow forum goers? We aren't out to get the VS, believe it or not the vast majority of us want a balanced game.

Very, very interesting. More or less what I've wanted for 2 months. Now, let's see if I'll like it.

MrBloodworth · 2013-02-08, 10:36 AM

Man, dude.

Again, if you can't accept that sometimes, things change from what someone told you, you are going to have a very hard life.

Not sure what these ESF Changes are:

Gameplay adjustments:

ESF Composite Armor
Increased bonus against flak by 5% each rank.
Increased bonus against small arms fire by 2% each rank.

They are the same as last time. Or am i missing something?

Hamma · 2013-02-08, 10:44 AM

I don't think anyone is ignoring it. Maybe it's stealth fixed. :P

I'm assuming, they mean +5% to the current bonus.

Nope, Same stats.

But i think prior to this hot fix the -dmg% Reduction wasn't working.

I am almost certain that it wasn't working. As Small arms fire was really annoying. And Flak seemed OP.

Now im flying about its as it used to be.

Hey guy, please don't assume that I'm some kid and my life is going to be hard because I continue to press a subject that is flat out being ignored on these boards.

Never assumed you were a kid. Also, ignored or completely disagreed with?
