Upcoming Balance Enhancements

I'm feeling a little faklempt.

Talk amongst yourselves. Here, I'll give you a topic.

"After reviewing gameflow data, the Design Team has come to some decisions regarding certain items. In an upcoming patch, expect the following adjustments.

1) Heavy Assault: The Mini-Chaingun and the Lasher will both be enhanced to help them meet the power of the Jackhammer. The Jackhammer's properties will not be altered. We'll announce more details on the enhancements as they get closer to implementation.

2) Thresher: The Thresher will see its armor brought up to be equal to the Marauder and the Enforcer. Its weapon will also see some enhancements as well. We are also planning to resolve the terrain damage issues that the hover vehicles may suffer, as well as their difficulties leaving the vehicle pads.

You will be able to preview both of these adjustments on the Test Server before they go live.

Sweet. I drive a Thresher.

Sounds good.

I like that the chaingun and lasher are getting a boost, instead of them just nerfing the jackhammer. I never had an issue with the jackhammer to begin with. Me and my thumper are doing just fine.

The only boost I saw when using the "Improved MCG" is the COF stays the same for the first 4-5 seconds, then expands but quite significantly less than before.

Full auto seems to be slightly less hit 'n' miss, but in bursts it can kill very well

4-5 kills are possible from one clip
