if the developers were to take someone's opinion into account, do you feel that your opinion (with over a 1000 hours logged) should be given more credence than 5 people who just bought the game yesterday?
edit: remember all the hubub over the demolisher and HER grenades? people got better with their kits and the bsn arguing over whose pylon it was, ceased.
Wasn't that your point though? Peeps with over 1k hours said she was OP so it must be true.
Which leads me back to my original post in this thread, something in the hands of someone with 1k hours under their belt can make a kit look or seem or OP when it's not necassarily the kit because less skilled players can't pull it off. Nerfs shouldn't be balanced around me nor those above my skill level. And that's not just AUI based, the same can be said about any kit.
Nobody cries about the demolisher either because she simply doesn't get used all that often anymore. I rarely see randoms rocking it all, nor do I use her. It's not that anyone got "better" with the smaller grenade/ammo drop as much as they moved on to different kits.
not entirely, but when that many players who have logged in that many hours says something, then what they're saying should be taken into consideration.
bioware listened and looked at it. they only went through with the nerf because they themselves thought the same. there are plenty of nerfs continually on the table that bioware has decided against or they would have already been implemented.
kits/weapons aren't nerfed because they're good in the hands of a good player. if that were the case, then characters like the fury would have already been hit. guns like the claymore, black widow, and the hurricane would also be nothing like they are now.
redjohn is a great example among many of the experienced players who felt she was OP. he's logged in many hours, made helpful videos and has been a positive member on the forum early on in the life of multiplayer. he obviously knows the game well and there is video proof of his accomplishments. i came onto the forums to start a post on nerfing her, but he already started a thread. i believe it's the only time he ever felt that a nerf was in order. why shouldn't a player like this be given a considerable amount of weight in what they have to say?
you can't have it both ways. there were many changes today and i believe only one kit got nerfed. unless you feel that buffs shouldn't have any foundation in what experienced players feel as well, then you can't say that nerfs shouldn't have some sway from experienced players.
the game is successful because bioware chooses to use its players as beta-testers and for ideas. new characters, powers, weapons, and even a faction were all added because of this forum. if you have something against nerfs conceptually coming from players who have logged on as many hours as they have in this game, then you have something against every other idea that has been implemented from this forum thus far.
as for the demolisher, the ones i've come across lately knew what they were doing and weren't "humping" their pylons or ammo boxes. people who stuck to her got better.
aiu is a new character therefore we'll all be seeing plenty of her at first. but once the "newness" wears off, who can say she won't drop off in popularity as well. even if people do continually play the aiu, just like any other character, those people will get better with her and again, less runs to the ammo boxes, more grenades for everyone else.
