Stealth changes

Peacemaker · 2004-02-15, 12:54 PM

You know what im getting annoyed with? The stealth nerfs and buffs the devs keep doing. They said they nerfed the burster so it cant kill infantry with splash damage. Go check it on the test server. It does a better job at it. They never said they were going to decrease the pounders ROF. But they cut it in half, esp when locked down. The thresher? It got a stealth buff. Its ROF is higher, the speed of the projectile is higher, and the top speed is higher. (I think they stated the top speed one)

PS not pissed about the changes, just that the devs dont tell us about them

I don't think the no splash damage for the burster is implemented in the test server yet...

Yeah, me and Peace were on the test server checking everything, and the Burster is like 2x better at killing infantry. They stealth-buffed the Thresher, which is good too. This stuff doesn't bug me, but SOE doesn't really have a purpose for not telling us.

Oh, and Radiation damage got stealth buffed. Instead of subtracting 1 HP rapidly, it takes away 3 rapidly. This thing might be fearsome now. =o

Er, it's the test server. One of the points of the server is to tweak things around to try different things out. Why in the world are you complaining about a stealth buff that may never make it anywhere near the live servers?

That would be because of the nerf to it's far better weapon, mowing.

I repeat im not angry about the changes, just the ffact they dont tell us. The thresher imo needed a buff.

All I know is the devs would never buff cloakers, aint-a-gonna-happen. I think the reason they have "stealth nerfs" is because they know the community won't like it, there for they just won't announce it, which means they just don't care what we think.

Buff Teh Cloakers! Please! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease! Devs! Have Mercy! We"re A Dying Breed!

I think the nerfs are bullshit so ya. Im sick of them taking all this crap away why dont they just leave the game and only add new stuff.

Cloakers have to take advatage of their partial invisibilty and warping when surging.

Look at the vanu br7 in my sig all cloaker CE 90% boomer kills 5% spitfire kill 4%mine kills 1% motion alarm sensor kills (those explode when you run over them)
