Consolidate AV?

Veteran · 2004-01-25, 01:10 PM

What if all the AV weapons were made common pool and grouped together for three certs.

Would this make AV more, less or equally attractive as Special Assault?

GreyFlcn · 2004-01-25, 01:13 PM

Nah

Smoke already said all AV ammo boxes were gonna get a buff.

Also mentioned Lancer is going to become more accurate

Spork already mentioned, countless times, that they are going to fix locking. Which would help the Striker.

Inbetween all that, AV should be fine.

You're probably right, GreyFlcn.

But wouldn't it be cool to have the option for the right AV weapon for a given situation?

That's why I say Phoenix owns. Decimator compliments it perfectly.

But , dont u think it would be weird if the NC can get as many Lancers as VS use now even with it being theirs? no way .. ill stick to my deci and my pheonix

I like my decimator in SA.

JakeLogan · 2004-01-25, 01:53 PM

nerf the deci.........to strong against maxs

FlakMan · 2004-01-25, 02:10 PM

Then what the hell are non-AV certed soldiers supposed to do? Throw rocks at them?

I'm not saying kill it make it 3 shots instead of 2 make people actually work together to take down a max. make it like it was in beta you actually have to work together to take down a max. Now its just pop around corner fire one shot retreat behind corner. pop out fire another shot dead max rinse repeat.

Deci//Relocate

Subclass//Anti-Vehicular

END OF LINE

[I know that dosen't even begin to resemble code, just felt like doing something different]

No we need more Empirespecificness not less, but the Deci does need to be AV.

The reason AV is broken is that the striker did to much AA, and the lancer did to much AI and the Vehicles got lots more armor

The fix for AV: more AV damage for all(no AA/AI/AM damage buffs), Lancer sniper accuracy, striker lock fix, and a bit more ammo.

And we can't make the deci less Max effective, esspecialy now that maxes (most notibly the VS) are more effective/numerous.

They should just make the AV ammo boxes 3x3 so you can actually carry AV without needing a ReXo to actually have a usable amount of ammo. If you look at how many tank shells can fit in a 4x4 box (100 x 100mm shells!!!) it just doesn't make sense to have 5 striker rockets in the same size package.

I still think the best solution would be to make the decimator available as part of both the Special Assault & Anti-Vehicular certs.

Rbstr · 2004-01-25, 03:48 PM

That my be the best solution

but thatn i would need more favs

They need more Empire Specific equipment, not less. Moving Decimator to AV is fine with me, though.

I don't want any change as I like having access to all three SA weapons for 3 certs. However, I would agree moving deci to AV might help and even seems logical (but I don't want it too simply because I don't want to spend more cert points

).
