Awww, I was hoping the hex system-change would have come with this update.

Did they forget about incentives, meta-game etc... New weapons and helmets? Just sad...

lol. wut?

Long-range options for MAXes! I might just start rolling them for something else than AA (when outside of facilities).

Can't wait to check out the NC MAX armour and helmet also. And finally the helmets are coming!!!

@Chewy: I don't know about the maths, but the idea was to increase effective range at the cost of damage from what I read. So its certainly not a straight upgrade.

[Carbon Copied]

It's kind of ignorant to say that they've forgotten about it; I'm sure the team are aware on things like this even if it does feel like ideas and suggestions are met with a wall of silence at times.
As an uneducated guess I wouldn't expect to see any major hex/meta overhaul in until Hossin makes it through. In the meantime I'd rather see new content and bug fixes than nothing at all..

[Canaris]

Can't wait to try out these changes.... FORTH TO WAR!

Oh boy can't wait to get my new Helm, been looking forward to that one ever since Matt Broome showed it to us

I think the T5 is genuinely bugged. Go look at VS/NC..

250 cert carbine = The long range hard hitting gun for that faction.

NC get ACX11 for 200 dmg (avg dmg 167)

VS get Pulsar C for 167 dmg (avg dmg 143)

TR get the T5AMC but it doesnt have increased dmg.

Im annoyed at 08... Max update pushed back FUCKING AGAIN !!!!! How much tweaking do they need. They should give an exact breakdown of what they are tweaking between current PTS and what they plan on doing to the Max update. I think we should all get 1 arm of the new weapons for free for fucking us around so much with Maxes.

[Fishy]

Incoming FPS drop.

[Shogun]

incoming hordes of harassers, loaded with AA maxes!

"FINALLY! I've been waiting so I can get lumifiber and belly lights on my Harasser, and then drive around with my new max weapons so I can blast someone in the face when I'm wearing my new helmet." -Sum up of GU08

My thoughts exactly. TR NEEDS a 167 dmg carbine, and it NEEDS to be the T5 AMC, because it's an Alpha Squad package long range gun just like the Pulsar C and the AC-X11. Besides feeling screwed as a TR soldier I am genuinely annoyed as a customer.

Some would argue that hard-hitting weapons is an NC trait, but it's already invalidated by VS getting a 167 dmg Pulsar C and NC getting a 143 dmg GD-7F.

SOE, I'm glad you intend on pushing patches out the door and making improvements and you don't want to keep delaying things. This patch has good stuff in it.

But Fridays are terrible days to patch if something does go wrong. Sure, it might go smooth as butter...but it hasn't many of the times in the past. You know this.

Yeah, patch on a Monday morning and you've got everyone already there ready to work on the inevitable hotfix. Patch on a Friday and listen to everyone moan that you've ruined their whole weekend, before starting to code the hotfix on Monday morning. It's just not a good idea.
