I figured out why the guns are so bad.

It could well be because people were bitching and moaning about how the game needed to be more cooperative than ME3mper. So now you need 4 people shooting and spamming powers together to kill things at the same speed. If the devs did base the game around that philosophy then those people have a lot to answer for.

What the actual fuck.

I don't even....the amount of cringe....

These guys have no idea what they are talking about. The balance team in ME3 said and did a lot of things that I didn't understand or agree with but I still thought they had a good grasp of how powerful weapons should be.

But this....it's like they used the vanilla eagle as a benchmark for everything except snipers.

whaaaaattttt?!

1) People STILL only use one weapon before there's really no POINT to carrying two weapons in the multiplayer.  you are always 3 seconds away from an ammo box.  Better off carrying a single high power weapon that keeps you *around* 100 recharge.  Only time i've ever used a pistol so far is specifically because the Scorpion compliments the Angaran Avenger kit way too well (Stun on Avenger Strike isn't ended by loading them up with scorpion grenades, so 5 second stun means BURY THEM IN EXPLOSIVES. ALL THE STICKY GRENADES!)

2) ....what? "Too risky to be tied down to an action that long?!" If my krogan could heavy melee, the ability to one shot stuff while raged would offset the slow chargeup for heavy melee.

Especially stupid because you can't do repeated melees in Andromeda because the melee doesn't Lock on/home in like it used to so if I try to melee more than once it just results in my character flying off in the wrong direction as the enemy sidestepped me after the first hit.



Oh my god this is stupid.  I guess at least we all know for certain now that this MP won't have the same longevity of ME3mp.

Certain guns are decent... On the right classes. A Havoc Soldier with a Revenant and Turbo Charge melts things in the air. The problem is, that class is made for using guns. Most of the classes aren't and rely much more on their powers, which are also weak. So you've got a bunch of classes with no gun bonuses and crappy powers with weak combos to boot.

Now wait just a second.... Have we finally found one SINGLE topic upon which the entire BSN agrees? Do _every_ single person here agree that the persons responsible for ensuring the balance, enjoyability and long-term validity of this game are a pair of bumbling baffoons that scrub out on bronze? That would be an amazing world first!

The P.A.W. is literally worse than the Avenger, & knowing these guys they'd nerf the Avenger after what they did with the Mattock. lmao


< MRW these two guy are calling the balance shots, when they call the P.A.W. the "Strongest Assault Rifle" in the game.

Nerf the Avenger?
Oh boy,that made me laugh

BioWare wanted to avoid taking more risks after outsourcing lip-sync to some hillybillies in Bumfuck, Tennessee
And heavy melee was a high-risk high-reward* move.
Now you have no risk, no reward.




*actually it was minimal risk - mediocre reward, or just fun all around

...

I give up mentally thinking.

I'm not "cringe" no

I'm just awe struck that they prob won't listen

EA cut off the MEA original forums and balance groups.

It's just a dream we had that is now in the hands of fools that couldn't get anything correct and believe their "basis" of fans that the grand whole MIGHT honestly be right and these stupid balances being done are...outright just "dumb"

I mean technically they arent wrong since most assault rifles are pea shooters
