I posted this stuff in my random topic about 10 minutes before you did. Yours is better formatted though.

Some rather dramatic changes. Wow! Will be interesting to see how it pans out in the field.

That Level 4 Lockdown is looking to be a good investment now.
I was worried there for a while after the HE nerf.

Good stuff, can't wait for the patch that contains these updates.

Hopefully this is going to be a good change

Good buffs for prowler and vanguard.
Worried the magrider nerf will tip the balance the other way.... every buff/nerf and they seem to pair a buff and a nerf rather than just flat out buff or flat out nerf stuff.

But hope this persuades more tank drivers of all factions to get in their tanks and enjoy epic tank battles.

No matter how hard they nerf the magrider it'll always be the best tank with the best crews!!

What the fuck! Magriders are nerfed. Every other MBT gets a boost? Fucking ridiculous!

Can tell who plays NC!

Whenever you purchase a performance frame for the mag, you can an inherent hover bonus. We can literally glide over lightnings and magriders without a performance frame. Also with some frames engineers can crawl underneath it and repair.

My goodness, a Vanu who isn't all butthurt over a kinda sort of nerf to the Roomba?

...You don't happen to have an odd coloration, do you?

Didn't I just say it? Every time they alter something they have to go overboard. What's wrong with little tweaks?

It's the distance the Magrider hovers off the ground. It's the only reason I spent the certs into that Performance tree. It's also going to DRAMATICALLY change the maneuverability of the Magrider. Something that Higby posted on these forums stating he was not going to do.

I've not been pissed off at any of the changes, but it's really got me PO'd when they state specifically they won't change something and then change the one thing that most effects it. The only thing they could of done worse to the Magrider maneuverability would be to completely remove the Magburner. I'm sure that's coming next, right after he once again states he won't change the maneuverability.


This shouldn't be called balance, that's the last word in the dictionary that should be associated with this patch. This should be titled The Vanu Get Fucked, brought to you by a bunch of bads.

Re: Higby on Tank Balance


My biggest concern is 25% damage increase of Prowler's HEAT rounds... That really seems absurdly high, with recent HE cannon nerfs I expect most of the TR will take HEAT for more damage to infantry and armour.

I'm not extremely upset either. I'm just sad that we can no longer hover over other tanks. There was really no need to change that gave us a clear advantage over other tanks. If anything it killed VS more than any other faction.
