Rexo Buff

[Aurorapro]

Hi I must have been in lala land for the past few weeks considering planetside but what is this rexo buff what will it do? will it change in appearance? When will it be out? And What are your thoughts on it?

Thanks for your replies if you do

Basically, Rexo is getting a buff in its armor value (from 150 to 200, I think), but that's it. No appearance changes or such. Most of us are either pretty psyched about it or just neutral on the whole thing; in other words, no one seems to mind an increase in armor. Judging on everyone's reactions, though, expect to see more Rexo users once the buff kicks in...

Highly doubt it will change the appearance of it...I think just dev's are implementing this to get you to not hate the mandatory HA with rexo thing if that ever comes out.

Wait, will BD's still be able to kill in two hits? I don't knoww the dammage ratios.

Hm. If you get low on health, perhaps the coffee maker could act as a medpack?

50 more armor is nifty, however the 20% more damage absorbtion per hit..... Now thats whats gonna make it kick ass.

Personally, I think that they should make Rexo 2 certs. At the moment and possible with the upcomming buffs, it sometimes feels like a death trap.

Why should you be able to spend the same amount of certs on a MAX suit of 650 armour with guns mounted on it

There you are running across Amerish, then you are set upon by a Van00b with a Lasher and Agile (no offence intended, just to prove something).

Now, with how fast the Vanu guy can strafe (no using surge) and spam the immediate area with Lasher Orbs, and with how fast the Rexo guy (also not usign surge) can strafe, the Vanu is at an advantage, because the Rexo guy is unable to get out of the Lash distance to avoid any damage.

Same with the MCG, (although I mostly see people not aiming at you, even when they are facing the opposite way they seem to kill u). Agile and MCG peeps just seem to strafe circles around you, or if its a head to head duel, then they just strafe side to side to avoid shots and once again spam the area with lead.

Now with the JH, it doesnt seem to be able to get to that, as normally ends up with the enemy in our face, in not giving you much time to run away and get some distance, and fataly ends up with the enemy doing the quad-shot trick o' death

Making the Rexo 2 certs wont slove the Surgile issue, but I bet you wont see as many Surgiles willing to go head to head against an army of Rexo guys

On many characters I never bothered with Rexo and probably survived a lot longer in an engagement

Now I have Rexo, just to carry a JH and Phoenix with plenty of ammo, after discovering the drawbacks of using Agile for the Phoenix, and the Mag-Scatter pistol as a back up gun. (I did get some pretty awesome kills with that pistol though).

Making it 2 certs would make it fairer as those people who dont use it at the moment would probably have it just as a back up, like how some people have the Infiltration Suit, but none of the Hacker Ninja Engi stuff.

After this buff, rexo will be an indoors tank.

It's finally worth 3 certs.

[Aurorapro]

Yeah I agreee thanks for the replies i think rexo will finally be worth coughing up those 3 certs as it now is superior to the rest.
