I also feel that the TR faction is missing its differentiation, however with returning after a 4 month absence I won't judge the balance parts. But I felt that way back in beta, and here I am back in red. One does not become TR, one can only realise they have been from the start.

The game is bay far the most balanced it has been since release.

Nothing TR has is actually bad contrary to whiny opinion.
Some stuff they have may be worst by small margin and I know something they have are best by small margins. Most stuff is essentially equal.

TR the best ESF.
TR has the best LA carbine the Jaguar(and the Lynx is possibly the second best)
TR has the best range of options in pistols.

Basically the only 2 items they have that is possibly worse is the LMG and the MAX. Its my impression that the LMGs atre not actually worse if it is worse the difference is marginal. And MAXes are still being balanced.

That's a big one. I should probably apologize to all the friendly AMSs and armor I call lib fire down on. I must have lost my ability to read a map because I can't tell who the hell owns what without taking an extra few seconds to verify that yes, blue means it's not ours and it's a coin flip to see if it's a VS AMS or if it belongs to Charlie squad. Unless it does. And now I'm not supposed to shoot the guys who are red.
Fuck it, I'm killing everything until I get weapons locked.

Sometimes I think some people can´t understand a text.
We were underpopulated for 4 months to the VS.
2 Months to the NC.
In the last 2 week we are nearly in even terms with the NC.
So, just because in the last 2 weeks we got an edge you think we never had under population problems?
Also, just because I got "luck" to be in one of the two servers where the TR is not underpopulated, I should not be concerned about it?
And as I said, it is not the main concern, the concern here is why we are getting nerfed in a lots weapon that nobody ever complained about it, like the mercy and the t7 minigun.
And why do the prowler HE got nerfed in less them one month when the scat maxes ruled biolabs during 4 months!
Also the t9 carv was never that good to receive the nerf it received.
Why do the NC6 Gauss SAW got less horizontal recoil, got smaller first shot multi, more damage can equip a compensator to reduce vertical recoil that is not bad, is more precise and the t9 carv just sucks?

Since the release of the score per minutes with NS weapons where the TR is the best with all of them, it is cleared that the TR are been handicapped so the game can have a "balanced" game play, this is BULLSHIT!

Jaeger was underpopulated for TR possibly, I don't know that situation. According to the VS from Jaeger they were not, but whatever. The TR on Waterson however, which is server you are now on, were routinely 45%+ until the month before the mergers when they dipped to 40%+ daily, when NC finally started to get some pop.

You need to realize you're on Waterson, not Jaeger.

So, because they merged the servers that means I never played on a underpopulated server before?
Does it make any sense to you?
And we are complaining about the unnecessary nerfs we are receiving, losing population is an effect of it, We complain about the cause, not the consequence.

3 Almost no one has ever said that you cant compensate for vertical recoil. Although at one time early on NC had diproportionate recoil and bloom relative to other factions.

1. Any pilot who has piloted all 3 ESFs will tell you the Reaver is not as bad as you guys make it seem. Your rotary hits hella hard, Your faction specific AI gun is brutal against both air and ground targets. You can pull some of the most over-the-top vertical maneuvers in the game.

2. Extreme Short range?

3. NC guns have advantages and disadvantages, just like the other factions. Play to the faction that suits your playstyle or stop whining

You have a point about the claymores... they are bloody terrible.. seriously, what were the devs thinking? The striker with no dumb fire/turret lock on... WHY? but either way I will still play on 4th.. you are TR.. man up sucker.

Nobody gets turret lock on anymore. So stop whining.

Claymores are amazing if you use them correctly. They just require more thought than their counterparts. Which of course is a problem for most TR, Their bootcamps pound the intelligence right out of them

[p0intman]

if you are TR and VS and whine and think you are underpowered, you are a) bad or b) don't actually play. I err on the side of a there. most of you don't know how good you've got it. please take a helping of SHUT THE FUCK UP. Thanks.

ugh, you're complaining about losing population. You believe it's because of a HANDFUL of nerfs, probably less than the VS have received, and you are choosing to ignore the handful of buffs.

The TR population globally is the same as it was on release. The same cannot be said for the VS, who have lost 2% or the NC who have gained 2%. It seems rather evident that the population that the NC has gained didn't come from the TR, even though you claim they are being nerfed more than the rest! You're not even losing population, you're last of the three factions in number of NEW PLAYERS joining, most of which won't even stay! Guess what? Someone has to be last, for the first time it's finally the TR, and you guys are throwing a fit over it clamoring for buffs! You're not even underperforming, lols. As a faction, the TR still have more active characters than the VS and it will continue to be that way for MONTHS most likely.


You guys really need to learn the difference between bugs and bugged weapons, and intentional nerfs.

Repeater - far and away the best point blank pistol.

NS-44 - far and away the best long range pistols.

Emperor and NS-357 - comparable to the other lame mid range pistols.




Seriously do you even play the game - this stuff is obvious.
Im starting to enjoy watching these ridiculous TR tears.

I'll say it once and I'll say it again, you trade me SAW for Carv and Mercy for Hacksaws and then you can start talking about "margins"...
