They're live and it's really cool but nothing really new since I tried it out on the test server already.

I still don't understand why the F people are bitching "nerf" when they have no idea how it is affected by all the others changes. Remember, its not just your empire being tweaked its every damn empire.

Start yelling nerf after a good weekend of game time on the new balance pass.

As long as my pheo can go farther than 100m again, i dont care. Im sure they were stealth nerfing it with every patch... my range got smaller and smaller and smaller... but its up to 350, they say? Good. And does the dumbfire actually have a use? Ive not used test server.

Removing the jump block from the Vanu MAXs was essentially an indicator that they don't realize that jumping in this game is borked. When you jump/boost/whatever, people around you see you disappear/jump around the screen. This goes for people with 56k or with high-speed DSL. I understand that jumping gives players a sense of realism (or makes the game feel more Doom-like) but until they can make it so (especially on stairs) you don't jump around/teleport around, I think they should keep it to a minimum.

Also, the amount of stamina it costs to jump should definitely be adjusted depending on your armor. Five points for an infiltrator, seven for Standard Armor, nine for Agile and 11 for Reinforced. I doubt many people would consider that so far from the way it is now to be unjustifable.

Just my opinion. TR is still a great empire, but they sure did dress up a major set of nerfs as 'balance'. Propaganda, I guess.

No one can help you. Not even God.

Javenn · 2003-10-16, 11:31 AM

no but did anyone else have this huge download after the patch was almost done cause the bottom bar is all the way against the other end its just that little tiny bar .

The only buff they gave the reaver is that its missles go faster. Like that will help. I cant have my reaver 96 rockets now, so I went back to my first love, the sketter.

Hamma · 2003-10-16, 11:34 AM

Unfortunatly your stuck, 56k is evil. At least you did it during the day and not during a peak hour. Then it would be even slower (if thats possible hehe)

Happy lil Elf · 2003-10-16, 11:35 AM

If you have 56k, downloading the patch is going to blow goats. My suggestion? Go find something else to do for a day or so

JakeLogan · 2003-10-16, 01:58 PM

well the striker is no longer useful I'm dropping it tonight. I'll keep my shorter range and smaller clip just give me back my damn 3 shot max kill instead of this 5 shot bullshit.

Reading the text does not tell me anything, actual gameplay experience is where I draw the conclusions.
