Those of you who are unaware they have implemented a nerf to the reverse maneuver on Public Test. What is the reverse maneuver you ask? Check the video below:
This is a maneuver that makes aircraft pretty hard to hit and allows them ways to really get out of tough situations. This particular maneuver is not really that easy to do, and requires an aspect of player skill in order to master.
Do you think SOE should be nerfing aspects of the game that require skill and patience to master especially in a game destined for eSports? Is it a mistake to make some aspects of the game easily accessible to the masses?
By the way here is the patch notes from test:
http://wiki.planetside-universe.com/...e_(2013/08/01)
New ESF Weapons and Reverse Thrust Tweaks - We’re also trying out a change to the lift factor granted by afterburners when in hover mode. We’ve reduced it from a factor of 8 to a factor of 2. This should make the reverse thrust still doable but will lower its abruptness and diminish your top speed while doing so.
