Shield Pack: Possibly Underpowered, but has a lot of potential.
Potential Roles: LD Chase, LO, Capper?, LD SaH?
Currently, the amount of energy lost makes it unsuitable for chasing. I see this pack as a corollary to the shield pack in T:V.
I think it has potential to be useful in LO and LD positions. It's potential benefits for LD Chase are to neutralize damage incurred when boost jumping, but this is currently negated by the amount of energy lost. One cannot sustain the height needed after a boost jump to chase. It definitely needs more balance changes to make it useful, it has a lot of potential. It could also be useful for LO that focused on lamma grabbing and e-grabs. However, this core could easily become overpowered so I would advise caution when changing it.
Well, that was a pretty post, full of emotion. Perhaps too much. I get that you're used to the game the way it was, but I like the fact progress is being made.
It's not exactly progress when normal users drop off. I use to play 6-12 hours a day even after working all day, but since the 1.40 update came out i've played 0 hours and won't play anymore because the game has changed too much for me personally. I hope others enjoy the game as it is now as much as i did before.
And Muk, which of the changes will probably be banned in competitive play?
Don't say none because we haven't played comp yet with this game, and from what I've heard about Legions 2, it will be completely different from the game you guys are playing now.None. Maybe Engineer Core if it ever makes a come back but that's about it. There are very few like him who are opposed to these changes and with petty reasons/no reasons at all. They've been asked multiple times about what they think is the problem with the new cores, and for proper reasoning, but we've never been provided with either. The original post of this thread says it all.
The simple fact is that most of them are "upset" about what the devs have done with the Laser Rifle. Others just want to be able to kill their enemies in under 5 seconds which they are not able to do now, because of all the new cores and weapon changes. They don't like the aspect of being forced into playing as a team to accomplish something or even doing something as simple as switching loadouts to fit their needs. All they've ever wanted was to be able to "solo" everything, and with that just one loadout.
The things that are cheesy will be banned in comp. You'd be surprised at how much there actually is.I see your point, and it is really a shame to see people go. I don't understand what the problem is, I really don't. Other than the cores, the game really feels the same. At any rate, by progress I meant the game won't sit frozen for 600 years in a never ending beta. Plus, Legions 2 well, is happening. Pretty exciting in my opinion. But it really is a shame to see people stop playing after a major update. And Muk, which of the changes will probably be banned in competitive play?

Your post is implying that the only OP thing in this game was the LR, but I'm not here to argue so I'm going to avoid writing a 5 paragraph essay explaining how wrong you are.

Splash grounpound is easy, gl firrate is easy, blaster is easy, plasma is still easy even thought i got it nerfed to hell, the amount of boost nades every class can carry is easy, capping is easy, chasing is l0leasy, hof requires 2 brain cells, and warp is easy.Okay fine, my mistake. What I should've asked was, what things are "cheesy", and will therefore be banned?
