Vanu changes

[Jarlo]

Yeah I have perceived that the lasher and thresher blow chunks after >1000 kills with vanu.

Are you talking about the Pounder? Because it can't MAXs nearly as well as AV mode on the Quasar.

I personally haven't played pounder or DC max so I cannot directly comment on them. <sorry i misprinted above, stupid headache is distracting me!>

I have played all VS and NC max though. The NC AI and AA max are leaps and bounds better than VS max.

Quaser with AP mode took well over 100 shots to kill a full health max.... that was over 2 reloads with old one, 1 reload now. I can take a max down with scattercannon max with 3/4 clip and with the AA NC max it takes just over a clip..

The quaser didnt need a turned down AP mode, it sucked pretty bad already.

Yes. And that is with the Vanu max jumping, dodging and everything else to stay alive. If that fight is in a tight indoor area, it is game over for the Vanu max most of the time.

Latest message of death from Spork, prepare to see VS populations drop to zilch.

There are a ton of suggestions that these tweaks will not make a difference. But the point is, we have to wait and see how it plays out once it is your hands. From what I have seen, there will be a significant improvement. These are the two most referenced weaknesses of the VS. The rest, Lasher, Lancer, etc. are questionable, as feedback goes both ways. We don't see the problem with them at the moment. But then, each weapon is always open to evaluation.
As I said before, if the current adjustments do not make a difference, we can tweak upward again. We'd rather upgrade twice than upgrade once and then hanve to nerf later. We recognize that the VS would love to be the overpowered empire for once, but we'd also hate to give that to them and then have to take it away.

Lasher is fine..... mmkay.

At least my NC will get more love and attention 8)
