These all sound like good ideas… now that everyone has waypoint access, I’m looking foward to see how the Engineer class will change to compensate.
Well , The Adrenaline is good and so are the waypoints
But power over time ? why need rage if you can consume that thing
Also okay currently It would make sence since adrenaline doesn’t regen ,and when you just died you could use those ,however now that you put in adrenaline pots you won’t ever be in short off adrenaline so no need for those ingame mod’s that steal adrenaline
Armour charges ,good way to get rid off medics ,they use tools in party’s to regen your armour and now u’l be able to do it without
The Armour charges and Adrenaline brings Tabula Rasa on Easy/safe mode
People don’t play TR cause its easy ,they like a challenge,having to take cover to keep ur armour , not running in a mob of mobs and if you see ur almost dead porting out ...
This is probay worst way to go with TR
Its like you guys have no clue where to go with this game =/ ,just this patch don’t get me wrong I luv the game
Why are you adding a Item that will destroy the use of the Engi skill wormhole when its just not needed ?
If you can find time to add a item like this that will Nerf Engi then why can’t you spend this time fixing a real problem like the AI for bot’s.
I haven’t had a chance to test these yet, but from the look of it they appear to replace the support classes in the game (engineers etc.).
I presume it is to make solo play “easier”, but I can’t help but think that fewer will play support classes (do they recieve a new skills instead?) and go for pure DPS.
Forgot to add, that the (one way) waypoint looks like a good idea for situations that /stuck can’t help with (should lighten the load for the GMs
).
Booya, another Thing missed and overlooked earlier =)
Not too keen on this - just means Soldiers+ don’t need Specialists+ now (Armor Charge) :(
And I don’t think the Adrenaline Booster is such a great idea. What’s to stop people spamming Signature moves? Instead of having it add so much, make it a multiplier addition over the adrenaline gain per kill.
At last! These will be very helpful indeed =D
No, that’s bad, you are going to make this game even easier and it will get infested with immature players like wow.
I know you people want a lot of players because that means a lot of income but keep the game at a moderate difficulty. I’m asking this in behalf of all the mature players that managed to play so far without asking in general chat for help all the time. Thanks!
Excellent news indeed! All will be hugely well received, I’d bet on it even [& I am not a betting man!].
What about radar mods for snipers (extended range 100m+ & limited detection ie only shows up at 60m or less) and spys (limited detection ie only shows up at 40m or less) mainly pvp use but would be nice as sniper class does suffer and spys could do with it as it should be one of there abilities
Fantastic addons! I have often been in the heat of battle wishing for more adrenaline or power. Keep up the good work devs
Armor gain over time is NOT good idea at all if you want people to group, or to play various classes, don’t implement armor packs and save specialists. Power over time could be useful if restricted to specialist+ classes only. Other things are pretty much in order
Actually I agree with Skip Damien on the Armor change. Didn’t think of this at first and it will surely make support classes that repair armor less useful…
Hm… Why change a game balance and class definitions which ( hopefully) have been developed over all of development and beta just one month after commercial launch?
I don’t think that’s wise…
Definitely want to know how the Engineers will be changed to make them useful for other players again…
Very very bad, first of all, this will destroy the support classes, the game is to easy as it is. Support class characters already have a hard time being usefull, all they are capable of now is easy soloing since they can heal.
Secondly, this will make the game even easier, which I think is bad. Not once have I encountered any problem or quest I couldnt handle with my medic/exo.
You guys should really rethink this
This feels more like a nerf of Specialist classes than anything else. What use will you have for a Specialist in a group anymore? I’m just hoping that there’s at least a massive cooldown on these items, making them “for emergency use only”.
Rick it is a speclist Nerf more or less every mmo like TR end’s up Nerfing speclist’s to make the soilder line to make sure there able to solo any thing and every thing.
When at the same time nerfing speclist’s to make sure they have to party 100% of the time just to walk across the starting zone.
<From Avatea> I precise that this is not at all what the purpose of the changes brought to the game is at all. I understand that players playing specialist classes feel this way but only a month after we’ve launched the game, further tweaking is yet to be expected, we have after all lots of content coming our way!
