I'm not going to muck about on this qu, I don't care if people don't like it. 3 years play and tier 2 not in a faction or team. Many lights, mainly urbies, pir's mist lynx ARE op -massively so. It's killing the game. look at player numbers and the giveaways that are on, only a light can kill me without me landing a hit on it, by floating around on jj's ,getting under my guns so I can't drop my guns on 'em or the old doom way of circle strafing.
As confirmed by devs, lighs put thier agility bonus toward armour too so when your assault hits a light it does not take the same damage as if you hit an atlas . Yes, I can fight off an average light pilot on my own but put two on me or a pilot who can use a light and I'm down a bit quick, or so wrecked I'm useless after. look at the possible load outs for these things, a plus 100kph speed, mg's and micro/small lasers that take up half the mech.
- I'm not sore at players, we all like to find exploits in games and use to win but this needs to be stopped by the devs, give lighs an enhanced match score for damage/spotting /everything if you like, just don't let it carry on like this.
A new player gets (or shockingly ,buys with real money ) a heavy /assault. plays a few games and cannot hit ,dodge (urbie ppc here!) or survive against a light. goes and finds another game to play. noticed the lack of new players lately ? I am now rage quitting if 2 or more lights "appear " behind me - you have to be in a deathball to live more than 5 mins in a game (deathball vs deathball, no tactics no fun no flanking/angles etc)
What kicked in my rage quitting was actually the events , the heavy /assault only match was so much FUN -played all weekend-did'nt feed the cat ! All the stuff I can't do in QP due to lights was done-and more ,even had a stealth sneek up and
DFA me...
And last, why am I bitching on this forum rather than playing ? 'cause I went to play just now and had to think ,do I quit today when (not if) I get a light up my behind ? sod it, I'll play star cit....bye.
