Give in to your hatred

[Queensidecastle]

The striker needs it own catagory. The pounder has some issues, but the alt fire of the decimator easily takes care of it. The striker however is the equivilent of an AA MAX with no 5 min timer and that can be stored in a locker, looted, and be purchased at an AMS. Currently, its bullshit

Just lag and bugs...nothing more

[Indecisive]

I cant believe that people dont dispise cheaters as much as me.

You're not alone in your hatred of cheaters, Gohan. The problem lies in the apathy of the developers and the inability of the community to easily detect and eradicate the weakest links.

Some day cheaters will be easily identified and excluded. Until then, MMO games will not enjoy full success.

Perhaps Pounder and Jackhammer are overpowered to balance the unfixable problems with MagRider - just a theory.

I try explaining this all the time people just don't get it. The game is not designed for every unit in a said class to be balanced with it's "equals," rather, every faction is to be balanced with it's equals. The real question isn't which units are better than others, but which faction comes first in the most categories (with a bunch of seconds to compliment the firsts nicely) and by what margin. The problem is nobody ever analyzes the entire spectrum, they only look at a single aspect When one does this in the real world, they are ostracized and mocked publicly (okay maybe not, but maybe they should be).

Noxious,

That may or may not be the case, but it seems clear that each empire has at least one asset that qualifies as unbalanced. TR has Striker (or Pounder), VS has MagRider (or Lasher) and NC has Jackhammer (and that's about it, though some might cite the Vanguard). These all seem to fit into the "cheap" category.

Just because I hate MagRider doesn't mean I don't realize that my empire has it's own equally cheap assets.

I also realize the devs might have arbitrarily decided to empower each empire in a certain area. While I feel that this was wrong, I can only support that position by assuming that the players wouldn't mind fighting with mathematically equal assets. This may or may not be the case. I for one would rather defeat an enemy that I was sure had a fighting chance.

I'm pretty sure this is the way they intended it. If all the weapons were equally balanced than whats the point of even making different weapons? Just make the teams the same.

why VS Lancer have no cool thingys? Striker can lock at target and Phoenix can be guided by the weapon holder....

[Veteran]

Lancer deals the most damage over time of any AV weapon and can be used as an AI sniper weapon.

Sounds cool enough to me.

I think the wepon sin the game are more of less balanced, i only have a few things I think are needed but i can live withough most of them

fixing of the Magriders hitbox it jut has a hitbox hats the size of the other tanks though it is a bit smaller,

the pounder could use some fixing but keep it powerfull,

fix the AV max's,

fis the AV weps, give the phoenix more damage the lancer less AI but more AV and make the striker so you have to lock before you fire the missle or it fired dumb, no power changed for it

Now I just go tht HA cert yesterday and Tested out the lasher and MCG out of my locker, along with my emipres JH and i fond that all of them wer devestating, the JH in towers, the MCG at all ranges outside except long, and the lasher was a mix of both.

I, IMHO, though they were all about equal, except that i ran out of lasher ammo, but i a way think they lasher has a bit of and edge from a versatility standpoint in that it does good damage at close and med ranges, but the JH is like a BB gun at even med ranges and the MCG is unwiledly in a few indoor situations. Now the lasher i think does a bit less damage but it has more possible situations of use. Drawing me to the conclution that we all think everyone elses wep is over powered but they are acctualy quite equal.

ANd i do know you pain from the JH, a VS looted one form me and repaetedly killed me with it

[X-113]

I chose lag. It really sucks when youre in reinf armor with a sweeper, and you get the jump on an agile with a lasher, only to die from the screen freezing as soon as those lag balls come out. It's also impossible to fly a reaver on my machine, or gun on just about anything. This is all in large battles of course. (cept the lasher)

Bugs also annoy the crap out of me. Ever tried getting a Galaxy through a warpgate to Cyssor at prime time?

[Queensidecastle]

I have found that RAM is the most important piece of hardware for playing planetside

[Cease]

Bugs get my blood pressure up more than anything. Stuck doors, invisible spawners, long wait times at terminals when respawning. Cheaters suck too, but due to the weird bugs I've seen the game produce, I'd assume its the game before I'd think someone was cheating.

The Pounder is not overpowered. The JH is not overpowered. The Striker is not overpowered. There are some weaps/vehicles that could use some love however.

[Katanaboy]

invisible spawners

GACK...I hate those!!! I'm just sitting there, and all of a sudden begin taking damage, except that the damage locator thingy is not flashing, so i'm spinning around trying to look for my assailant. However, he only becomes visible AFTER i die...they REALLY need to fix that.
