I can totally tell the difference when I see a skilled vanu player and a not-so-skilled one. It seems like it is the not-so-skilled players that must be complaining alot, cause when I come across a skilled one I don't stand a chance. I play as a TR pounder max most of the time, and even with my 'overpowered' weapons it doesn't make a difference if the vanu i'm fighting knows what to do and how to do it. It is sad however that those kind of vanu are rare and far between.

And I pwn the NC with my Cycler and Mini-chaingun

I know, Pyro! Whenever I fight those overpowered TR with my lasher and lancer, they always end up in a spawn tube.

Personally I think, at least for the two roles I play (HA/AV infantry and Magrider commander) the Vanu are fine. Since I think running people over in a combat vehicle is pretty stupid, I sometimes wish the magrider had better options versus infantry, but I can live with its current incarnation.

they need to turn up VS and turn down NC

[WritheNC]

As far as Vanu are concerned, I think versatility as a focus is kind of in the wrong direction.

TR has fast weapons with higher rate of fire.

NC has slower weapons but more firepower.

So I think if VS is supposed to be versatile I would classify versatile as their weapons being either accurate, which the lancer and an improved pulsar could go under. The pulsar wouldn't have the firepower of a gauss or the rof of a cycler but its CoF wouldn't be as bad and would make it more useful in field skirmishes(I haven't used the pulsar since open beta and I don't ever remember dying to one when I have a gauss in retail...).

The other half of the "versatility" of Vanu weapons would be weapons like the lasher with a good spread, but move faster! The only time I owned with a Lasher was when I snagged one off a dead VS player and started pumping orbs into one of their AMS's with 15 VS players standing around the EQ terminal.

I don't know anything anyway

The only thing that needs to be looked at is Pulsar and Beamer, VS is great as it is (oh and the vehicle pad bug for Thresher and Magrider, especially from the underground pads)
