See, the problem is that you for some reason actually think it is Pay2Win. Which it isn't. So I don't see why you're complaining.

It's pretty much the best FPS in years.

It is Pay2Win, few reason as i do not want to make another lenghty post that will be ignored/deleted. 1. New comers are bashed by every other player ingame, why ? Because they have better weapons/EQ, that would not be the problem if they were actually PROs but instead they payed money for that game and now just have best Explo weapons that does not require skill to aim, or anything at all, just spam and win.
2. 50%+ of all weapons just explode and do huge AOE that kills you on 1-2 shots with no reload time, and those are locked for new comers/cost huge ammount of XPs to open, or ofc "money/gold".
3. OP classes that when you buy them and spend money on every upgrade, simply own everything everywhere.
4. XPs as a possible currency ingame, without spending ANY money on this game you simply CANT buy anything in first 50-100 matched, as you cant get more than 1-2K XPs from game when you WIN as a newcomer.


That is just few from a lot of reasons.

Casuals should never have advantage over those who can spend more time on game no matter what, thats just how world works...
This game is basicaly a huge Sellout and clearly a easy way how to leech money from people from psychological way. Nobody wants to loose 50-100 games and unlock nothing and improve in no way whats so ever.

PS: Dont be a blind fanboi and look at the situation from different side.

2/3 starter weapons are explosive (and one of them the strongest weapon in the game damage wise).

What classes are OP? You start with three very multirole classes. Getting new classes doesn't give you anything better, it gives you something more specialized. I barely play anything other than Pathfinder.

A skilled player will kill anything with the Pathfinder and his spinfusor. Despite what you for some reason think, money doesn't buy you skill, practice does. Just like every other game you pay 60€ for.

A skilled player will also easily be able to upgrade his stuff after every match.

It's a "huge sellout" because they don't easily give you the whole game for free? Really?

How long have you played the game? What rank are you?
No offense, but you obviously have no idea what you are talking about. Those "explo weapons that require no skills to aim and do huge AOE dmg" you described are not in my game, every weapon in this game requires some amount of skill to use effectively. Some require less, some require more.

I can bet you any money that a skilled rank 1 (lowest rank) player with just the disc launcher can kill a fully equiped "paid" newbie player any day, with ease.

This game requires SKILLS to win, not GOLD.

Wrong, lets take this example.

2 absolutely new players. One a newcomer with nothing and everything default. Second Payed all money for every upgrade and is not Infiltrator with full Explo set. First player (Newcomer) is Pro at FPSs, but still limited by default set. Second player is a casual FPS player that does not have limit in EQ/Weapons/Classes. First can Aim decently, second one can spam nades from invisibility and destroy first player from stealth before he can know what hit him.

Balance ? Never heard about that.

XP isn't that hard to earn.

Play Juggy, camp in generator room and spam fusion mortar. Very Happy

Seriously though, ever since they added badges I'm making a shit ton of XP(2180XP in a single match S: ) and I haven't played the game that much so I'm not a "skilled" player.

And new Weapon cost 18K of XPs. So even if you won 9 Matches straight, you will still have one weapon.

And lets face the truth, you wont win 9 Matches in whole day, and for looses you have 1K max XPs.

You talking to yourself? "Second Payed all money for every upgrade"

Again, the other weapons are not "better". They're different. The only one that is better right now is the Thumper, but that'll probably change before release.

Upgrade to your class does not mean Upgrade to your "Items", i never sayd that, he payed for every item he can "optain", thus making him "stronger" as most of the unlocks are "explo" weapons for nearly all class.

PS: I dont want to argue about everything i say. I made good points in few ways, if you dont believe so you have your own opinion i honor that, but dont try to change my mind with your no logical/no real evidence stuff. So i will just leave this thread and wont reply on this matter.

Yep, I'm the one not being rational. Definitely.

As I already said, 2/3 starter weapons are explosive. And both are also very good.

Is there any - reliable - way to prevent people from high speed grabbing your flag? (on most maps) It's next to impossible to hit some one skiing basically through your flag at 5000 km/h.
I have yet to unlock more classes and such (since I'm not gonna pay for any of it)

The XP required for the classes themselves is not a lot. Not all of the unlockables are good for everyone either; certainly none of them are ANY better than ANY of the standard weapons. Simple example is bolt launcher versus light spinfusor. They differ in damage, projectile speed, aoe range and knockback, but even out overall (bolt launcher requires better aim and as such does slightly more damage if you do hit properly). If I take the raider for example, I actually prefer the arx buster over the grenade launcher.

Another example is the thrust pack versus energy pack (I mainly play pathfinder if you hadn't realised it yet Very Happy). The thrust pack is highly situational and especially as a beginning player you'll want that energy pack. I've played enough pathfinder to now put my thrust pack to good use, but I still only use it in very specific and often extreme circumstances (thrusting towards a dropped flag, quick dodges etcetera). A beginning player wouldn't nor could use it in such a manner.

This game is one of the few where the balance is almost perfect, with the exception of the infiltrators with this patch, the Jackal is just ridiculous.

Edit @ reklis: body blocks (or use a doombringer and get some shields up - a shield instakills me at the speeds I grab at, even when only my legs touch it). Use the game's collision model. And it's perfectly possible to hit someone coming in at 200+, because they're always coming in in a straight line Wink

It is isn't it?

Since its introduction, the number of infiltrators has risen, and they all spam with the jackal.

BTW, I've played a few games with you and Lathieza. Very Happy

Do you use the same name in-game?

Also, you guys should join TS if you see any of us online. The past few days Lathieza and I have found it to be absolutely invaluable, even more so than in BF3. It's so damn good for timing flag grabs etcetera So Much Win

This game uses the Unreal Engine no? 2.5 or 3? So the same hacks that work for other games using the engine should work here too no?

There's "I suck but I'm still having a blast" and there is "I suck so bad I can't hit jack shit and it's getting frustrating as all hell".
Guess which category I'm stuck in? ;_;

Also most of the time you have weapons that cause AoE/splash damage, so you should take advantage of that and be patient enough to fire when enemy is close to the ground. Of course you could get Blue Plate Special (award for hitting with a projectile weapon in mid-air) but unless you are extremely skilled with using those weapons it's matter of luck and you won't be getting them that often. I tend to switch to my secondary/sidearm like shotgun to damage the opponent in midair.

Anyway I don't encounter too many enemies in open field. The only time I am in the open is when I have a Brute to snipe off turrets/sensors or juggernaut when I mortar the enemy flag stand from a hill afar. In those cases when enemies want to defend they use most of their energy to get to you, so it's often quite easy to deal with them because they don't have much energy left to fly around.

When I play a pathfinder I tend to ignore enemies unless I chase enemy capper, so it's more about the movement to keep up with the opponent and timing nitro nades well.

As for other classes, I don't know as I'm only playing pathfinder and all heavy classes until I unlock more stuff for ther classes.
