I assume they're thinking about new player experience

Then I suppose it is a good thing nobody is talking about doing that.

They are talking about reducing 'lethality' across the board starting with tanks.

That's interesting, I wasn't aware of that... Is that on the road-map or they just talking about it on Reddit or something?

I think it was said at the end of a recent set of patch notes. I think the notes that had the HEAT+HE nerf in it.

I've certainly read it but am also a bit uncertain where (memory fog).

You are correct, it was on the 8/5 patch notes... https://forums.station.sony.com/ps2/...es-8-5.196032/

Can you narrow the question down a bit, the field is so wide.

True, I still don't know the circumference of the universe.

Funny thing is a while ago I would have agreed they should have just remade PS1 but over time I have come to appreciate what PS2 does and works.

I still would like some features from PS1 (like the spawn sundie cloak), but others I think no longer have a place (like removing the class system and restoring the inventory FFA, or changing the TTK terribly much).


Anyway, good to hear cloaks for sundies are coming, not sure why it wasn't included to begin with tbf, without such things making it harder to kill enemy spawns then fights are over too quickly and the game suffers for it.

To be honest I think in places they made virtues out of necessities, ie for some things the engine couldn't handle it back then but after 1.5 years for further development .............

I think they just had a very crude idea of how spawns worked at first.

I mean, they wanted to use a Galaxy for it first, then, they added it to the Sunderer, but without things like interference range, allowing four or more sundies to sit right on top of one another as spawnpoint.

It needed refinement because they didn't plan on using an AMS in the first place and hotfixed it more or less.
