Jace's new patch notes.

<< < (2/7) > >>

N-Sunderland:
Now now, stuff can fixes before the patch is released. I think it'll become rather clear in the next few days that something is horribly wrong with a lot of the changes.

If it doesn't, get ready to see sniping matches on long-range maps, and "long-range" Galleons demolishing everything on close-range maps.


I love the merc, but it didn't need that. I think it's fairly clear that the changes are meant to make it replace the Gatling (and I say replace, because the gat was very, very badly over-nerfed). With that extra arc, it can handle close-range engagements better. With the shorter reload (in addition to the heavy clip nerf) it'll be putting out more DPS than the gat. With the penetration... That's just extra. And also unecessary. The merc is supposed to be a long range hull stripper and component disabler. The gat is supposed to do that close up. Now the merc can do both, and the gat can't really do either.

Exactly. I'm in the hopes that making our voices heard will expedite this process.

Sammy B. T.:
Was the gat itself nerfed or just heavy?

N-Sunderland:
As far as I know only heavy, but that directly translates into a gat nerf.

James T. Kirk:
Remember, this is Muse here, not some huge multi-million dollar industry.

Unless I'm mistaken, they have developed about 3 games total, and two of those have minimum attention on them.

Guns of Icarus is their main concern, and with everyone freaking out about the unnecessary buffs (the long range weapons, mainly) I have faith that they'll go back and change some stuff.

But credit where credit is due. The nerf of heavy rounds: ingenious.

Totally meta-changing, while keeping the core of both weapons intact.
It encourages closer combat fighting, but not without a counter (fire).

I may be wrong here, but I think Muse is trying to make sniping more meta.
It already was good, but gat/flak was better.

Personally, I think Muse should have left the merc and the LJ where they were an let people discover then again.

Then again, I've never made a PvP game.
I trust Muse not to utterly destroy this thing we all know and love, and I sincerely hope they don't let me down.
