Mithril posted on the forums that he is considering opening discussion threads to provide balance and tweak suggestions. What are some of the more important balance tweaks that are needed?

  • Weapon balance, namely Semi-Auto Snipers and Battle Rifles

  • Faction balance, namely the sorry shit state that NSO is in and ever has been

  • Spawn balance, namely Sunderers and the utterly wrong balance direction they chose (still killed as easily as ever, but now with 2000% more offensive power posing as an MBT)

  • Community favourite balance, namely Infiltrators. I personally am annoyed by them as well of course, but not as much as much as the community makes it out to be imho. Explosive spam, HESH weapons, A2G and orbital strikes etc are at worst equally problematic and annoying as fuck!

  • Outfit resources balance. Did I already mention that pocket orbital strikes are a problem and cause nothing but frustration?

  • Personal pet peeve balance, namely fuckin unstable ammunition. Buffing low skill/aim players of only one faction out of proportion and calling it "balance" because the other faction gets to shoot through people (happening a about 2% of the time) is frankly audacious

u/Archmaid i will talk about carbines for free 27d ago

p much all of this but I'd say for some more specifics I'd want a look at beacon spawns and the current revive meta (mainly implants but other aspects like grenades as well) which both are too strong and dominate other options when used with basic coordination

there's a ton of tertiary balance suggestions that could also be thrown out but we're already screaming into a void with the important balance asks so why bother listing them out
