Re: "What are your top balance concerns?"


ZOE - nerf the starfing speed. Then look if it brought it in line. Then think about another change. Please no overnerfing again.

Harassers - gt rid of repairing on the move. That should solve a lot of issues people have with the Harasser (on all factions) as it needs to retreat to repair like ever other vehicle. No need to nerf their health or armor. Just start here and see what it does. And no, pushing "F3" and your left mouse button is not "requiring skill".

Harasser TR guns - bring them in line. You basically put weapons on Harassers which downside is supposed to be that the are ineffective over longer range. Which isn't exactly a problem for the Harasser to begin with. Those weapons are just flawed by design when put on a Harasser.

Please put some road stops in there to stop people from driving Harassers on roof tops, inside buildings, inside tech plants and so on. Especially not when you give them insanely good AI weapons...

Rocketpods: just get rid of the splash. Or at least reduce it by a lot. Reward people for actually aiming these things.

Fractures and Comets are too effective as AI weapons

Lightnings needs more rights to exist. Between the MBT and the Harasser the space for the Lightning as an equally effective weapon has been getting very small. Especially when it gets stuck in every f*ing terrain ditch there is.

NC weapons and NC max ability needs some heavy, hard hitting love (because nc likes it that way)

Your empire specific abilities made charge for maxes pretty much obsolete. It has never been a good ability to begin with.

Vanu weapons: reduce their effectiveness when fired from the hip. In return reduce the first shot recoil. It's ridiculous on some weapons. It actually punishes you for aiming at the head as well as burst firing! Maybe even trade it in for some more recoil overall. I am pretty sure most Vanu would take more consistent recoil over this stupid first shot recoil any time. (nc of course suffer from the same problem)

Don't hide essential upgrades like burster extended magazine behind a 500/1000 cert wall.
