Ah, fair doos. Well I still want mechs, just make them less powerfull. I like the idea of a multi-pilot mech. They should do more of that.

I wasn't a huge fan of either, but yeah the BFR's were cheap.

It took about 3 tanks to kill a biffer, that's 6 people vs 1

Worse part was that their shields regened, so most of their hp would recover over time

The BFRs were pretty stupid. By no means invincible. I saw them taken down all the time, and they tended to attract a lot of attention, so if you could just get people to focus on them for a bit, they'd go down, but without a concerted effort, a halfway decent BFR driver was somewhat invulnerable. I also believe the TR BFRs had an extra turret on top that could be crewed by a second person. Honestly, I never liked them as a concept, but that's just me. I'd much rather get more conventional vehicle choices.

There was two types of BFRs, ground variants and air variants.

All factions had both

AVs had to be unlocked by getting a bunch of kills with the ground variant

If anyone is wondering, BFR stood for something else as well.

It was Big Fucking Rapists.

In fact i did like the BFR the requirement needed to get it was somewhat time consuming, sure there was some balance issues but all in all i did like it, it was like the *end* reawrd for vehiculke user, and since most of the time there was barely any vehicule out due to zergling, we needed them to push forward.

Minecraft UI is very simple. There's only so many ways you can implement "simple" without copying something. We also gonna complain that it uses WASD?

You spelt 3 words wrong and had horrible grammar, therefore your point is moot.

But in all seriousness, large requirements are a bad excuse for OP gear. It only serves 2 purposes, to make it harder for new players to get into the game, and make it easier and more boring for skilled players. Higher levels in Multiplayer games should allow more variation or specialization, not more powerful stuff.

General rule for weapon balance: more powerful weapon = more weaknesses put on user.

In Sweden, digital electronics is considered unteachable. That is why you are not being taught about it.
Most attempts of sesquipedalian loquaciousness on the internet will most likely end up in egregious delusions of eloquence. Finagle's law commands it!

It was a meme-joke. Why is everyone so serious?

Not Completely sure about this, but that is a way to balance. I just perfer that the weapons you get at higher levels should just be stuff with different abilities and stats, while not being outright more powerful then what everyone else has.

Weapon balance also can work by making everything a sidegrade.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Thrn again, you could just do only cosmetic stuff and avoid weapon balance altogether. Its just as successful, and the proof for it is clearly there. For example, Do I need even say hats?
