versatile vanu? - Page 2

MYcrimsonTEARS · 2004-05-26, 05:35 PM

again i will say this for the last time... i think the vanu are fine they are balenced the are not gimped! i am sayint this would fit the ideals of the vanu as new cantent is added over time. so the weapons will evolve aver time much like a versatile being would... again the vs are not gimpled,underpowerd, unbalenced.... some weapons do not fit the VS ideals as well as others ... that can be fixed by new content as they are added.

an example.... the devs want to add shotguns... so they make shotguns for the TR and NC then add a shot gun mode to the pulser... there you have just made the pulser more versatile while adding new shot guns to the world...
then say the devs put in new long range rifles... so they make tw for the NC and TR and make the pulser have a beam mode for long range to match the other two... there you have just made the pulser more versatile in 2 patches by giving it a shot gun mode and a long range rifle mode... and adding more weapons for the others.

why is it so hard for you to understaind that some VS weapons are not versatile, this is NOT to say that they are gimped in anyway they are not. what im asking is that the weapons we have in game will change and become more versatile as weapons are added to the other empires. so over time the VS become more and more versatile fiting its role.

And then certifications and rifle slot restrictions start to matter less and less for the Vanu because they have three useful weapons in one rifle slot, which takes one cert to use.

Your suggestions are pretty bad. That's not versitility that the Vanu need anymore than it would be if the NC got all insta-gib weapons because "they're suppose to hit the hardest". You're taking it to an unreal extreme. The developers said they'll develop the Empire themes more effectively with variants. Right now, though, you've got two weapons that can switch to AP mode and a bunch of hover vehicles. The Vanu are as versitile as the NC are hard-hitting and the TR are spewing bullets every which way.

So you're saying the pulsar should have every fire mode under the Sun in the name of versitility?

the maxes have the jumpjets. and the VS AI max pwns and so does the AA max. VS are fine.

I only have one thing to say here to MYcrimsonTEARS, grammar is a very good thing, it can take you places, like highschool in your case.

VS Max's are the only armor that can Escape a decimator (unless deci is timed on it's decent)

Mag does need to kill infantry faster...as it is now, when facing it on foot its like being locked in a cage you cant get out of and being tickled with a feather covered baseball pitched over and over...

Or the driver makes you Magpie...

Having already flamed this on the PS boards, let me just say this:

I can't believe with all the people who have given you a multitude of examples of how the Vanu are indeed the most versatile of the 3 empires, you are still going on about this.

While your at it... Lets ad double vanny cannons to the Quasar Max suit and give it unlimited OS capability!!

Give me one example of a weapon that morphs based on the world around it!!!

Give me a break.

I can't believe people still don't get it. THIS IS NOT A SINGLE PLAYER GAME, YOU ARE **NOT** THE HERO IN THE GAME, YOU ARE NOT STRONGER THAN ANYONE ELSE, AND YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE. NOT EVERY WEAPON IS USEFUL IN EVERY SITUATION.

Vanu weapons are almost always able to take on both armour and infantry easily, with little or no time needed to change(right clicking mostly). That's their versatility, the magrider is effective against both infantry and armour, and the thresher is aswell. Seems versatile enough for me.
