Pissed off about the Tech class... Turrets have tiny range, die at 1 hit from the Soldier weapon, and pretty much any other weapon, the damage from them is shit to the max, you need to be in their sites for like 15 hits, and thats with their little health and short range. Tech weapons are a rifle and the repair gun, so they have to practice with the damn bullet travel, which can be difficult considering the movement of this game. Couldn't even see a difference between Tech repairspeed and any other class speed, still stood in front of the Generator the same amount of time, techs spos to have a base speed increase on repair work...
Their Skill tree is shit too, only 1 line goes for Turret, one to make them lock on 15% faster, helps if they are Skiing through but not really when they can just shoot it out of its range, the next gives you a second turret, so maybe crossfires, then there is what 25% extra damage on Armour targets, yeah like they can't just shoot them out of its range...
Their two unlock me perks are, Barter, makes upgrading everything about your base 25% cheeper, and a Melee Shield which reduces 50% of melee damage on you. Barter is the only one interesting there. The rest boost their speed (WHAT! They are defensive units!!!) Stopping power (Once again Defensive, why?). Oh this one I love, Weapons Switch speed... WHAT! Oh I so need to repair that Generator while I am in the middle of this battle good thing I can change weapons quicker... WHAT!!!
One thing I don't understand right now... Granades... Why? 1: The target is in the air or moving ten times faster then you can throw... 2: They seem to explode YOU when your over double the distance away from from it compared to them. 2: Again, no one is really on the ground for that long, why!
The other thing I am not all that overjoyed with... "I don't need to Aim to win" guns... Everyone has one, but the Techy (afaik) where they can just spray around you and still kill you in 1 hit, compared to the Rifles and that which you need to keep aim on a fast moving target to hit them 40 times......
\\Deep breath\\ Yeah ok so its in Beta, but seriously, has no one actually tried the other classes and seen what works and what fails badly. No wait, they are all firing those damn discs everywhere cause you don't need to aim at them to win....
