Striker damage nerfed?

Chito · 2003-05-09, 11:27 PM

I seem to be doing a lot less damage, or requiring a lot more shots, to kill enemy MAX's or reaver/mosquitos with my striker. Does anyone else notice this, or am I looped up on goofballs?

Unless they worked it into one of these latest patches, because as of last weekend I was still dropping MAX in 4 shots as usual.

i dont recall that, btw can strykers lock onto MAXS or Vehicles.

I locked on to a VS MAX tonight, and put 5 shots from the stryker into him before he ran away.
5 shots, and I saw them hit. He didn't go down.

I thought 4 shots was a great number!

I put 6 into a MAX three different times last night, before they went down. It seems I'm having the same problem with Mosquitos/Reavers as well. If it was just MAX's, then perhaps they have the "personal shield implant" (does that work with max's?). But I don't think that's the case because it seems to be that way a lot the past day and a half.

I think the Striker was nerfed, which is dissapointing. It's weakness was suppossed to be the reloads and size of ammunition....but I guess that's up to the dev's.

....decimator....
it will never do ya wrong.

while the "missle lock" will send most reavers/skeeters/MAX running...a decimator will send them straight to PS heaven.

I put 6 for sure, and maybe 7 pheonixs on a max's chest and he didn't die - SJ said the Pheonix could have a bug- so it's possible

It's a reported bug, they did something in the last patch that accidently screwed with the damage quotients for lock-on or camera guided weapons. Lancer appears to still be nominal

decimator = antivehicular GOD

Figures, and i thought it was just me.

I traded my Striker away in dismay for a rocklet and am actually impressed. If they fix the striker i should go back and see if im back to KILLING things again. (I complained for hours and since no one else agreed i thought it was just me that had suddenly started sucking after being able to down maxes and reavers constantly)

So today I decided between Anti-Vehicle or Special Assault. Gues which i chose! Anti-Vehicle. Someone wanna explain to me whether the special assault weapons are better. I dont see them as very useful in vr room.

BTW Im a TR!

i'll kill you staz for already being in beta... ugh... my download just froze at 29% after 14 hours. I swear i'm either going to slit my throat from ear to ear or cut my wrists in a nice bath. I should do a poll.
