Details on Weapon Enhancements

[Strygun]

Today on the official forums Victor Wachter, also known as SporkfirePS, gave some information about the upcoming changes to weapons and vehicles. Here's the quote: <UL><FONT color=#999999>In the next major patch, we will be updating the Heavy Assault weapons and Medium Buggies for the Terran Republic and Vanu Sovereignty.<BR><BR><B>TR MiniChaingun</B>: The TR MiniChaingun received a 50% increase in bursting duration before recoil kicks in.<BR><BR><B>VS Lasher</B>: The VS Lasher received an increased rate of fire to make it more comparable with the other Heavy Assault Weaponry. <BR><BR><B>TR Marauder and VS Thresher</B>: Both of these vehicles were given an increase in armor points. Now the NC Enforcer, TR Marauder, and VS Thresher are equal health-wise. <BR><BR><B>VS Thresher</B>: The VS Thresher [projectile] had both its damage increased (against soldiers and vehicles), and its lifespan extended (so the projectile can travel further). This is to make it more comparable to the NC Enforcer and TR Marauder (in terms of damage potential).<BR><BR>Timing on these updates has yet to be determined, but we expect them to go to Test Server and then Live next week.</UL></FONT>Of course you can find the current information on these weapons in our <A href="http://www.planetside-universe.com/content.php?mod_id=7">weapons section</A> and the vehicles in our <A href="http://www.planetside-universe.com/content.php?mod_id=2">vehicles section</A>. Also, when the patch happens ou can find the full patch notes in our <A href="http://www.planetside-universe.com/patchnotes.php">patch notes section</A>.The thread Sporkfire posted in can be found <A href="http://boards.station.sony.com/ubb/planetside/Forum8/HTML/005715.html" target=_blank>here</A>.

Perhaps this'll put the HA issue to rest...

[HeadshotSY]

Nerf the HART! It's so cheap, droppin people anywhere they want to go, sheesh! Might as well help them cap bases too, way unfair.





I'm not completely insane--there's a few parts missing

Not sure the maradur needed a boost, its the best buggy in the game, oh well, I don't see a slight buggy boost unblancing the game any time soon.

great im an nc with heavy assault.... for me this basically sucks

I don't think the lasher solution is the right one. It really doesn't need more slowass projectiles. I think the RoF is fine. Just needs a faster projectile. Especially since it doesn't actually lash anymore. But whatever... guess we'll see how it works out.

I think the ROF increase is a decent solution, but they should have bumped the clip size as well, then again, I don't know how it will turn out. Someday you might here Nerf the Lasher. Don't dismiss it, in beta the JH was called the jokehammer and now it is suposed to be the most powerfull weapon in the game or some such rubbish. Watch out VS, it could happen to you.
