Bring back PS1 max-jumpjets, SOE. God knows you will since "bring back PS1 design feature" is all they do.

You can have your jump jets if our NC maxes get the vanguard shield back that we had in PS1.

Fans posted:I've taken to using the Carv-S with Extended Mags and treating reloading as something other factions have to do. It's working surprisingly well, especially with a bandolier of Concussion or AV Grenades to gently caress over any MAX's who get clever. What attachment are you using for the Chaingun? I use the Bert and it's amazing. Goes through ammo fast but go make friends with an engineer and use ammo belt for your suit slot.

ProfessorCurly posted:Ok I'm curious, what was the deal with ZOE? Did it make you skate around on the ground like Zone of the Enders? And why is it bad now? Everyone has actually mis-remembered what it did for some reason, and the other quotes kind of have some hyperbole. It made all max move speed faster, walk speed wasn't faster than infantry sprint, but you could run down a sprinting infantry. It made weapons more powerful (no change on RoF), but only slightly on bullet weapons, and slightly more on comets/others (also gave everything larger tracers). You took ~30% extra damage, but was reduced from additional ranks. Could be toggled on and off at will, and basically broke netcode ADAD movement compensation (this was before they made doing this have acceleration time). It was very powerful because people couldn't hit it, and could move faster than infantry, the rest of the buff was just fluff. Nowadays it is a limited time toggle you can't turn off. The move speed bonus is significantly less, you cannot out sprint infantry and movement in all non forward directions is only slightly better than normal. You still take extra damage and glow purple. The damage buff on weapon output is both lessened and clamped by weapon range (on a typical bullet weapon you might save 1 bullet inside of 10 meters). It is functionally useless except as a taunt. Like many other features they had a bad design, they tried to half fix it, then said gently caress it and left it as is.

Goes through ammo fast but go make friends with an engineer and use ammo belt for your suit slot. Never short an Engineer thankfully due to the Engy Bro being strong on Miller so I can take my Grenade Bandolier for some fun spoiling during the bigger fights. I bounce between the BRRT and the Extended Mags depending on how busy the hex is. I've had a lot of fun tossing in two conc nades then spinning up an Extended Mag Chaingun and just murdering everyone in the world during 48+ fights or biogrinds. Sometimes though I put the crosshair over someone and it just doesn't seem to want to kill them. Other times it annihilates them in a hail of bullets and rips up everyone behind them too. I guess I need to get closer, or soften up a room with a few AV Grenades first. o muerte posted:I really, really, really like the CARV-S. Grip/Comp/SPA and 2x and treat it like a more accurate CARV. It's my best performing HA weapon so far with something like 75 kills per hour. I'll likely go back to the Grip and give it a try when the novelty of a 200 bullet magazine runs out! I really do like it, I don't feel the lower DPS at all it seems to murder things just fine. Maybe it's the Soft Point and easier headshots. Or maybe the Carv is also a murder machine and they're both pretty darn good. Probably the latter.

Horizontal Tree posted:ZOE max walk speed was faster than infantry run speed. Even this doesn't fully explain how poorly balanced it was. ZOE max strafe speed was faster than infantry sprint. If a ZOE max felt like it, they could crabwalk down an enemy running at full tilt and shoot them in the side.

All you need to know about old ZOE is that its backpedal speed was faster than infantry forwarding sprinting speed. Its existence created latent MAX crashes at every base VS was present at. Imagine fighting 10 MAXes in each building. Now imagine that they're faster than you and you can't run from them.

And they also did more damage then usual. Instagibbing from NC scatter maxes? Try VS blusehift maxes from 40 meters out, who could then close that 40 meter gap in a few seconds.

Someone described VS MAXs at the time as velociraptors. I suppose that was accurate. ZOE was great. I auraxiumed both my blueshifts and both my nebulaes because of it.

Rival is useful for places like amerish, where there's some mountain climbing sometimes. 9 times out of 10 you want racer, because there aren't that many spots where rival is really needed.

It's such easy XP as an Engineer to repair any idiot that uses ZOE since they get shot up so quickly but I never get a chance to pull out my gun and shoot anything because they normally need repairs again even before my tool finishes cool down.

Give VS maxes magburn, they hover off the floor then slide forward for a quick burst of speed--even better give them 3 seconds of flight time in any direction and give them gundam movement jets for the animation. You'd basically make them weightless for 3 seconds then give them movement so VS maxes could fly backwards, jump 30ft into the air and just be the most DBZ looking thing imaginable. You'd of course need to give them a yellow/purple energy trail and add a new voice pack function of them screaming. Just so you all realize ZOE only sprinted faster then a sprinting infantry, its other movements where on par, same side/backwards speed. I assumed everyone was joking when they were describing all that stuff but i realize some of you may have been serious.

The big thing I remember about ZOE Maxes was literally charging across open terrain into a defended position full of heavies and vanguards and just ripping it apart. No planning, no engineers defending you, just a group of ZOE maxes. If there was a problem, more ZOE maxes solved it.

The recovery is bad enough that bursting doesn't work in your favor either, so it's either "ADS and pray" or stick it in their chest and pray while hipfiring. As a panic finisher I'm sure it's fine, but as a primary for a stalker infil it doesn't hold a candle to the other TR options (or the beamer) and isn't even in the same league as the mag scatter. It would actually be better if it had a slower RoF (by ~100,) better recovery and *maybe* slightly less bloom per shot. I agree that the spiker is hot dogshit and should be split into two guns, one charge and one burst (preferably a clone of the repeater like the Terminus is a clone of the T1 Cycler.)

The control input changes they've made on the test server make this feel like an actual game. If you play at less than a consistent 60 fps, go check it out. The days of turning graphics options down in order to have more responsive aiming are totally over. I was really floored at how much better it is, and kind of want to turn my settings up, for a change. You'll still want to turn them down just to be able to see movement more easily though. Baby steps, I guess.
