As far as I could tell they were SC codes.

Other Changes

Added bullet drop to VS Shotgun slug ammo because the gravity-free projectiles have been outperforming the other two factions by a large margin





hmmmmmmm

[Ghoest9]

I think I love about 95% of the changes.
I dont mind about 4%
Theres probably 1% that will be a problem.

also, where's the nanoweave refund?

I'm fairly certain a nanoweave refund was in fact mentioned somewhere in there

As someone who primarily plays NC I like the infantry weapon changes, I think the nerfs to hip-fire accuracy on the LMGs and ARs are fair enough, as long as its not too harsh on the ARs.
At first glance the 0.75ADS weapons don't seem to have been hit all that hard, except for maybe the SVA-88, and I'm not sure why the Lynx was nerfed so much...
I love how the Reaper and especially the AC-X11 were finally buffed as I've always been put off by their small mags; hopefully the buff wasn't overdone.
I've been waiting for the GD-7F's bloom to be fixed for a long time so I was glad to see that, and it's also nice to see the GD-22S being given more of a niche with the reload buff.
Other than those, I might also have to dust off the rebel again, now that it has a reasonable mag size, and see if it competes with my trusty underboss yet...

The AV MAX weapon changes were much needed imo as long as they're more or less the same against vehicles.
Not sure about all the vehicle weapon damage changes as with the resist changes all the values are a bit of a convoluted mess atm, and I'm still not convinced by the Enforcer Modified/Canister...
My first reaction to the ZOE and Harasser nerfs is that they've probably been overdone - they definitely needed some sort of nerf but this may be too much, so I guess it remains to be seen on live.
Anti-air lockon changes look to be be a good start, reducing the range so they're actually escapable while making them a better deterrent to hover-podders within 100m.
Nanoweave and Flak changes will be very... interesting... I won't be sad to see the dominance of Nanoweave come to an end as I personally feel it messes with gun balance too much, but the new flak armour looks like it could be a bit too good - time will tell.

My max with flak armor is still taking lots of damage from enemy rockets... They didn´t fix it, kinect armor looks better for everything that is not a c4.
Used 40 anti tank mines today, no kill with then, I really don´t know if they fixed the anti tank mines.
Zoe are no longer a threat, also the halbert is bad and the vulcan useless against enemy infantry.
Looks like I will start using my tank with a kobalt on it, because it is now the best AI weapon on the game.
Also used a marauder near an enemy sunderer, could not kill everyone like they are doing with the fury right now, looks like the marauder is inferior to the fury after all that nerf.
I tried to use a double bulldog sunderer to check if it is better now... no luck

Also, everyone is flying on Esamir to find those snowmen, you see people flying everywhere without a target, just looking for snowmen.

well, I am done with all this bait and switch crap,SOE sells you something and then nerfs the hell out of it when they feel like it.

can you imagine any other business pulling this shit?

cancelled my sub today, I refuse to support this crap any more.

[Ruffdog]

So they finally realised that letting Zoe be toggleable with no cool down was a bit silly. Hooray
Also Harrassers and AV Mana turrets getting a nerf bat pleases me. Or it will when I get back into PS2

I don't think the flak armour buff was ever supposed to also apply to MAXes.

[Hyncharas]

If anything I think lock-on weapons are worse now more than ever; it's bad enough that every time aircraft go behind an aerial you lose tracking when in flight, but if you can't hit anything unless it's closer to you, it feels like aircraft ecm has an increasingly rediculous advantage.

Decimator got decimated.

The one thing I learned about F2P games, especially in PS2: Never spent real money on something that is subject to balance changes (at least not full price. With double SC and 50% off it's a different thing, but still).
Buyers remorse is quiet a bitch in this game.

[Falcon_br]

I just wish they refunded the harasser composite armor, because right now, it looks useless.
