So tired...but...we get to play with computer guts later! Yay!
Only 3 more hours until I can play more Planetside...yesss...big patch today...
See, as with most games, once an empire, race, ect develops a sever inability to keep up with the other races/sides, all the smacktards decide that they NEED to play the Empire and thus change sides. So, now, instead of having two strong empires and one weak one, the populations have gone INSANE and now we have one MASSIVE side, one strong side and one fucking USELESS side.
I always manage to join up with the USELESS side when I start playing a game.
But I'm the type to stick with it...if I leave, then my Empire would have no good players at all. Or I will stick with it until the patch...if it doesn't fix the major problems (which it might not...the TR really need an infantry weapons boost and they ain't gettin' it) then it will be pointless to play as that empire and I'll run off to s server with some Vanu and drive a hover tank.
They currently need to fix the TR main battle tank. It holds three people (driver, main gunner, secondary gunner) which means that you NEED 3 people for it to be effective at all (as opposed to the enemy tanks which all need just 2 pilots). It's also ugly and MASSIVE so it can't shoot anything in a giant radius around it and it's really easy to get hit by the mass of fire it draws (it's a freakin tank: that name alone means everyone will unload everything they have into it). And it's weak, shoots slow for the Empire that has the 'fast firing weapons'. So yeah, it needs some work. They are slowing it down a bit in the next patch, but that's the make it more like a tank (and easier to kill, in my opinion) but they are doing that to all the medium tanks. It needs to be a lot tougher (holding 3 people means it should be at LEAST 1/3 tougher than the other tanks).
The need more implants, specifically stuff to deter detection and 'homing' weapons. Driving a Lightning or Mosquito is suicidal thanks to the fact that the VS and NC both have small and fast seeking projectiles in various forms. The TR have SHIT in the seeking department, so infantry vehicle destruction is almost impossible. As such, the other Empires rely little on infantry until they get right inside a base, prefering to allow their soaring number of pilots and strong vehicles to rule the outdoor areas.
And ofcourse, the inside areas are pure death for the TR who have a good weapon in the chaingun, but I find that the basic pool of weapons are better overall than our Empire specific guns. You have the option of shooting around corners and splash damaging enemies with each shot as the Vanu, or killing multiple people with each blast of the Jackhammer auto shotgun (which works well on everything, including tanks). The TR have fast firing weapons, but that simply means we have to carry more ammo and do less damage with each projectile that hits. We are good on open ground since our weapons have superior range, but since our vehicle suck, it's useless when 5 tanks come blitzing over a hill and run us down.
Please fix TR. Please let the non-dumbfuck players come back to TR and rebalance the player population.
