I would very much like the heavy weapons to be removed from T2… Ofcourse you cant buy them anymore but i keep getting trashed with heavy lasers and heavy rail in T2, becouse the players that have bought them before the removal from the shop can stil equip them. My main problem is that some people wil just stay T2 with their full T3 build just cause they are way overpowered and wil just stay T2 cause they got a much bigger chance of making the victory.
I understand the weapons cant just be removed from their account, but there are some much beter ways to solve the T2 T3 balance then just giving a couple people lead ships while the rest has to work much harder for the same result.
I think swapping the T2 weapons for the same class T3 weapon would be possible, or just giving them a refund for 100% purchase value.
I got some removed from shop T2 items myself but dont wanna use them cause i see how much this impacts the balance, i’d rather see if i can take some1 down with equal chances. but if by any luck i kill someone, sure enough the next enemy wil come at me with a full T3 build on his T2 ship.
Plz let me experience T2 fighting as you intended it.
I agree with this option to fully remove from T2 class ships all heavy weapons by replacing them with T3 equivalent weapon or full 100% refund for the cost of the weapon.
I did have heavy lasers and heavy rail guns on most of my T2 ships but scraped them after patch to better my enjoyment of the game trashing ships in two hits is ridiculous by any means. At present the heavy T2 weapons unbalances the lower level fights as most ships in this area are 1 or 2 hit kills for the heavy weapons.
the impact damage of these weapons to the game is huge I have seen a number of players rage in chat for a good hour then rage quit because some guy who is level 12 or above will just sit playing low tier fights using heavy weapons on T2 ships just to level his ships of other factions.
I fully understand the people getting angered by this and see no other way to solve it then fully removing these weapons or this problem will just escalate as more players join the game.
I already talked about this with the Devs. They are aware of that issue and also the problem new players will face upon reaching T2. The obsolote items must be removed and 100% refounded. Otherwise it would be to hard for players to regain credits. Maybe some only use heavy weapons and are low on credits -> cant get new stuff.
yes, i think everything that cant be obtained in any way should not be useable on T2, i looted a T2 missile defense system after the removal from shop, like a couple other items aswell, those can stay offcourse since everybody has the chance to obtain those items. but right now i got some crazy op items id gladly turn in to make T2 fair again.
well the thing is that every1 who has heavyweapons on T2 probably got a beter ship to do the scenario’s. aspecially now since the removal has been a while ago. i dont think many players have the need to use them for scenario. all they are used for now is unfair advantage. i didnt mind the first week, hell let them have their funn for having the items, but i think the funn of it is far gone now and i desire some fairplay. its not like there is 1 guy using heavyweapons ever 3 games or so, its every game again and more then 1. altho i can play T3 myself i like T2 because the overkill on modules (dissables/buffs/regen) isnt really my taste since im not a corpplayer. only way to make my objection to this is to post on the forum or stop playing. i think its going nowhere with this. and i wil be following the changes on this matter but for now im gonna click some other software.
+1 to guys above. As one of T2 HVY weapons holder, i fully aware of serious advantage they give to me. But still, as a player who prefer “fair play” i think, that refunding ALL such equipment on all accounts will do the trick.
Well since my last reply the game has changed. Heavy weapons are not so easy to use and i find other weapons a lot more effective, and so have many others. In last week i have found only 3 people using heavy weapons against me - it didn’t end well for them. I have changed my opinion on heavy weapons, they can stay in my opinion as they got nerfed quite a lot. Only effective way to use them would be in squad, 1 frig has them and smaller ships defend it. Solo camping and sniping with heavy’s doesn’t work well these days cause quite low range they have.
