Other PS2 shower thoughts: TR Connery will, without fail, ignore the entire north side of the map to get bogged down in a quagmire with the NC around Tawrich. That train is never late.

I got my fill of that area in the 5 months NC was stuck in the south east warpgate when ZOE was OP as hell. To this day i avoid tawrich and the bases around it like the plague. Still have nightmares of pushing out of broken arch towards crossroads only to find both hillsides already camped by mags and PPA harassers.

The only LMGs that seem to cause a problem are the CQC oriented ones. IE: the LA1 Anchor, MSW-R, and Orion VS54. The longer range LMGs like the Flare VE6, NC6 Gauss SAW, and TMG-50 are great weapons but they don't perform all that well in CQC where HAs usually cause a problem. Perhaps they just need to move all LMGs more into the long range support role. If the best CQC LMGs were the current renditions of the SVA-88, EM6, and T9 CARV I don't think HAs would be able to dominate CQC quite so much without tuning to SMGs or shotguns which both come with their own limitations.

I guess another option would be to not allow HAs to carry medkits or restoration kits. That would make them dependent on medics to keep going the way they do now.

LMGs that can be aimed at individual people are a problem. LMGs should be aiming at places, nothing else.

Give the other factions Lasher variants, to complete the triplet:

- normal ROF, splash, normal damage per bullet, poo poo accuracy, huge mag

- high ROF, no splash, normal damage per bullet, poo poo accuracy, huge mag

- normal ROF, no splash, high damage per bullet, poo poo accuracy, huge mag

Balance such that walking out a door is a dangerous proposition.

Holy gently caress good fusion mortar users were so infuriating.

Literally just inverse all LMG accuracy stats but make them take longer. CoF and bloom starts huge but the longer you shoot the smaller it gets. Holy poo poo thats retarded who would want to play HA? exactly HA should be a specialty class not a loving go to class. It would be the class you choose to lock down a stair well or door not a small battle or 1v1 class.

Pretty much exactly how the LMGs worked in 2142, the most balanced shooter i have ever played.

2142 was balanced until you worked out how to use the rockets on the Assault class, then you'd broken the game as all cover became useless.

Lets talk about "Paying for the RIGHTS to annoy and troll". Lets I'm a paying member. I pay $10-15 a month (depending on how i'm paying for membership). Now that i'm paying money, I now have the RIGHT to ANNOY and TROLL people using /whisper and Voice Coms and you can't mute or block me. And i'm not talking about offensive things, like using fowl language. Maybe i want to take the time to /whisper you for the next 30-60 minutes and tell you about my day and how my boss makes me mad. Or about the new puppy i bought and how cute it is. Text after text after text after text after text after text.... and you CAN'T BLOCK ME. I pay money and you HAVE to receive every text I make. I don't care if you miss the /orders chat that the Biolab needs help. I demand you read about my new puppy. And guess what, 10 of my friends got a new puppy too and want to /whisper you about it, all at the same time. Nope, you can't block any of them, they all paid money too.

YOU bought the horn for your own pleasure / amusement, you press the horn button, YOU get to hear the horn. But you want to spam the horn to "troll" other players, whether they are friend or foe. You are a negative impact to the player experience of other people. Those people should have the option to turn off or lower the volume of the horn, whether you paid for it or not.

If anyone with a horn has any opportunity to annoy you over any stretch of time, then either they're guaranteed to be in a situation where you can "mute" them, or you're being a dumb and not in a good fight.

Repeating my offer here to dogfight people and help to learn some new moves and stuff. I've recently been helping some existing good pilots step up their game a bit and learning to fly a bit better and trying to do a bit of air support outside of Scythe swarms can be useful, especialy with all the bads in the air currently.
TThere are a few moves I'm trying to learn to do cleanly but that aren't the easiest to attempt on live. I'm having trouble trying to hit shots while doing a reverse spiral roll then transitioning into a rush from there. There are a few moves I can only do with the exmags noseguns cause stock or rotarys have to reload too soon.

Air game is weird lately. A lot of bad pilots that let me get overly lazy when flying around, but because of pumpkins there are also a lot of situations where I'm stuck fighting out numbered or wind up fighting decently good pilots without time to rep and reset, so it kinda requires trying to put out damage while simultaneously pulling defensive maneuvers, and there are a few things i can't quite do reliably.

I was dicking around with the airhammer earlier and many of my killstreaks ended with some WOFI jackass slamming into me. So I decide to run over VS dudes in my wraith flash, pull up to a Sunderer for ammo, a WOFI sundy pulls up and crushes my ride. Their entire outfit is filled with blindfolded morons. They weren't even doing it on purpose. I'm pretty sure each WOFI player is just a roomba duct-taped to a mouse & keyboard.
