Probably an over-nerf, but it will hush the crowds of rail-haters, then they can balance then better afterwards. Common industry practice it is.

It is basically how things go... Release it overpowered at first so everyone loves it and uses it, then nerf it like crazy because everyone hates it now, then fix it and bring it back.

Not really... They are splitting them up into "counters".
Possibly.

I am moving. Also there's no way I can get this weapon at T2. What's the deal?
The deal appears to be that the devs messed up the tech tree. I can't comment on the old tech tree though, just got into this game what, 2 days ago?

The old tech tree is that everything (most everything) was available from the start... and you had to get the higher tier versions.

So Tier 1 had all the weapons and movement types.

That's it? I hear they're trying to bring back the old tech tree, though.

I hope to god they are, because I much preferred the old tech tree.

I have to state that unless they charge you more money for unlocks or something...

It never felt like there was a need for the current tier system... The game's structure really doesn't support it.

Hullo everyone.
Haven't played this game since ages ago when there was only the one type of gun.

Apparently a lot of things have changed for the worse?

I personally think that the game just hit an awkward phase... nothing is "worse" yet...

Well, the customization is worse for the time being. Does that count?

I think the game has generally gotten better, it's just that not all the changes have been necessarily good, and others still need some polish/balance.

Basically, it's better with more variety, but they're in the middle of rebalancing.

I'm having fun in a tier-4 plane (when I have a tier-6 RP-getter). Unless I get sniped quickly by playing dumb, it's pretty fun.

That mostly because at game start everyone split so one can kill them at range one at a time. A group working together can still get one killed, but the other will close by and kill the op guy

Maybe, but the way the game is set up, whoever gets oneshotted first doesn't get any points from the battle. Doesn't seem very fair for what is basically drawing the short stick.

Still not a great system. Someone has to go first, and if everyone does the only intelligent thing then nothing ever happens.

Nope, not a great system, but until it's fixed, the only way to get anywhere is to not go first.

I still think they fucked up when they started enforcing a "every man for himself" mentality. You don't get massive charges anymore, more people getting plinked by railguns waiting for one team to run out of prey. They completely fucked over people who played a few months ago and just came back, making their designs obsolete. I had this half completed tech tree when I came back with T2 armour bought, but I had to research T1 armour again. I have to literally grind back the progress I lost, tier by tier, going through the aforementioned match design problems.
