So we all know the Magrider got the shaft this patch, but this thread posted by one of the Devs outlines why. In 10,000 Tank Vs Tank fights Magriders were at a 1.71 Vanguards at 0.87 and Prowlers at 0.63 (I'm assuming thats KD ratios). Further down the dev mentions that this is in large part due to the Saron being better then it's equivalents. While I'll reserve my judgement and rage for after they get all the bugs worked out. Even after they fix the strafing glitch, I think these numbers are going to swing VASTLY in the opposite directions. Idealy we want to see a 1.0 KD for all three tanks. I'm afraid that the buff/nurf combo will be putting us down in the 0.5 KD range now. http://www.reddit.com/r/Planetside/comments/17n43c/update_02_mbt_changes_via_mhigby/c871z4x
We just get higher K/D ratio's because the Vanu players know how to operate their tanks. TR is a bunch of fanboys and NC, well, NC is just a bit of nothing.
We also understand this little thing called 'teamwork' tons (metric tonnes for my EU friends) more than those 'other guys' therefore our tanks work as units, devouring the enemy. Aside from zergs, I have yet to see the level of teamwork the VS has exhibited by any other faction. TEAMWORK =/= OVERPOWERED
it's kinda valid i think, i'd shoot my main canon, switch to sauron shoot that, switch back to main gun. Don't think i ever lost a 1v1.
if they were to nerf ANYTHING about the pre-patch magrider it would have been the ability to do that. Not to lose the ability to climb a bunny slope FFS I dont even want to get in the damn thing anymore.
anyone else getting frustrated that the devs and smedly are using mediums OTHER than thier own official forums for these kinds of things? its always twitter or reddit
Need a current build, I tired that after launch and it doesn't work. Also the Magrider now moves like a damn snail literally. Personally I don't see how anyone can play the Magrider now.
