GU 11 patch notes and some cosmetic item previews

I'm pretty sure these were the patch notes posted about a week ago. Don't know if they'll be exactly the same, since there's been a lot of negative feedback on the vehicle costs. I've also been hearing blurbs about the PTS having reduced the damage on the Enforcer and Saron guns, while increasing the damage of the Vulcan.

There are several things in the game currently that I feel need to be adjusted. Some of these include:

Nerf the Saron and Enforcer. Enforcer is ridiculously OP against both vehicles and infantry. Saron is slightly OP and needs an adjustment.

Add the timer to ZOE MAX suit enhancement. Don't really need to explain this one to you guys; I'm sure you all feel the same way.

TR Burster with lockdown is definitely OP. Looks like they're adjusting it already... Lockdown with AV and AI weapons is purely situational and has significant risks, so I think those should be left alone or reward that risk by further damage enhancement.

Skyguard sucks ass and I'm glad they're finally looking into improving it.

Remove the ability for an engineer to repair a Harasser while in the rumble seat. These things are already fucking hard to kill, which brings me to my next point...

Reduce the amount of damage a Harasser can take. These things are really dangerous, even to MBT's. Only the most skilled gunners can hit them enough times and kill them before they lose their MBT to the attrition of the fight. Harassers with Sarons or Enforcers are just too unbelievable. I drove into a fight with a Vanguard and an Enforcer-equipped Harasser as a Sunderer. I lived about ten seconds. The Enforcer did 85% of the damage, while the Vanguard did the rest. Says a lot about the Enforcer, even if the Vanguard driver was a bad shot, it didn't matter.. still got annihilated by the Harasser.


I probably have more, but I can't think of them at the time.

 

-It seems with every patch the game becomes more and more vehicle unfriendly.

-As for 350 resource Maxes... I'm glad I blew a thousand plus certs on a class I'll never have the resources to play again. As it stands I can barely keep up with my consumables and have enough infantry resource left to pull a Max once a night or so.

-I'm terrified at the MCG revamp. It's by FAR my most successful infantry weapon. Here's to hoping!

-Burster and skyguard changes are needed, but it is a kick in the junk that a nerfed burster will now cost 4x as much. Lol

-Very happy to see sunderer no deploy zones at facilities.

-Yay for another shotgun nerf? I can finally sleep again now that the dreaded scourge of "slop" that has ravaged Auraxis for so long has been remedied!

-I'm the rare player who almost never used the IRNV. I have no opinion on it.

 

I use the IRNV a lot, but I don't really mind that they're making an adjustment to it. It is too universal in usage and needs to be relegated to a specialization role. As a matter of fact, I think it should be impossible to see anything during daytime, but that may be going a bit too far for balance purposes.

 

I thought they were going to adjust spread to encourage longer usage. I do remember, however, that the MCG in PS1 was pretty spammy and inaccurate. It was pretty damn good at clearing rooms, though.

 

Vulcan: Magazine size ranks reduced from 3 per rank to 2 per rank

WTF!! RAGE!

I don't understand that in the slightest... the magazine capacity is increased but increased mag capacity certs are reduced???? Should they not be doubled as well?

/rage off lol

 

Oh, snap!

 

After using it for a couple hours I can confirm that he MCG has been nerfed into oblivion.



Fair well my trusted weapon of choice...
