Are we really intended to be able to burn through named bosses in a few seconds? Not to mention each other. The power creep is real. I don't have all the answers but I do suggest nerfing crit hit chance and damage along with headshot damage. Perhaps if dps were toned down we could get some variety in this game. As it is, dps is the answer to everything.
@Streven7 i do see your point - however, I think that perspective is very relative. I'm GS 190-ish and have pretty legit fights with named guys in challenge mode, some hard mode, and random AI on the street in DZ. TTK in PVP is all over the place and there is a razor edge line of "balance" that you pass when you can melt other players or literally dump two full magazines of high end Vector into a guy and he flicks a matchstick at you and kills you.

Sentry set is mincing Named enemies. People are complaining about TTK being short. It isn't. It's just skewed towards Crit Damage and Chance. People who are stacked are killing AI fast. Those who diverge towards skills do not.
This is what you get when you follow your hurr durr RPG dreams. You get a mess. In this RPG we are all archers. Some shoot Holy arrows and some shoot wooden arrows. end of.
I agree to this!
As it sits right now no one plays pure tank builds or pure healers builds because there is no reason too. In many games with classes there is one of each.
Tanks: High Armor, High Health, High mitigation, Low dps
Healers: High Skill power, High health, Low armor, OK dps, no mitigation
DPS: High DPS, OK armor, and OK health, low mitigation.
Right now you can pretty much have decent everything there is no point to be a tank or a healer.. Kind of makes game play dull... Most people have the same build, the same gear and the same guns.
ETA: They messed up by allowing us to be anything we want. You should of had to choose in the beginning either.. Tech, Medic, Security.. Not all of them. So people have a role and they become good at it. None of this "who has the highest dps?" crap now.
This is really where my concern lies. I always like going against the grain and finding builds/strategies that differ from whatever is the current FOTM. I refuse to exploit so I'm not really as free to experiment as some are due to not having as much gear to work with. However, regardless of GS and rng issues there is nothing that holds up to the current meta regarding smg crit builds. Particularly when using sentry set. There should be competitive alternatives but there just aren't as far as I can tell.Originally Posted by NLxAROSA Go to original post
I want to see true tank and skill builds that can be viable against a dps build.
I have a friend getting 2 million headshot crits on npc's with his m1a. It's absurd.
If you think that forcing people into strict archtypes will convince people to pick Tanks and Healers you are not thinking straight.Originally Posted by Velisity Go to original post
