And with new patch comes another weapon that is insanely unbalanced at launch (*cough* Jackal, Plasma gun and NJ5 *cough*), but then gets nerfed to oblivion two weeks after the launch (after 80% of players have spent their Gold just on the weapon). I wonder what'll be this time, heat-seeking spinfusor or chaingun that shoots mortar shells? Or perhaps Death Star laser which has 5x radius of an Orbital Strike and mere 10 second cooldown?

We'll see. I'd rather see more deployables for Technicians. There's stuff in the games files they've yet to release, like portable generators and beacons. Even skins would be welcome. I don't play the game anymore, but I've watched a few recent matches on Twitch and it doesn't seem like anyone is using the new rocket turret. Tech's could use a new useful item.
The game doesn't need anymore weapons, nor is the community asking for more.

EXR turrets wouldn't be so bad if they'd hit anything. They're only useful in cramped space where those rockets can splash enemies (and likewise they can be easily destroyed by splash dmg...) whereas Light Turrets shoot fast and accurately anything that isn't going over 250. Repair Kits were insanely useful addition to Techs arsenal as you can repair multiple assets at same time and you can ditch repair gun for hitscan pistol or shotgun... I was surprised to see how fast Thumper + Sawed off shotgun brings down mediums and heavies.
That said I think it's kinda ridiculous how a Tech, who is supposed to be support class, can fight evenly with Soldier (and why Raider is so damn dominant in duels is far beyond me, wasn't raider supposed to be the Base Demolisher class? More like Fun Demolisher).

Looks pretty crappy in some respects.
Gonna get raped by those OP SMGs at mid-long range.

Todd Mc HiBrows: "Yarr, let's make laser shotgun that has long reload time and is obsolete thanks to Close Combat perk"
Hi-Rez team: "Brilliant, he's done it again!"
Armageddon
Teapot
The targeting laser puts that to shame.

Well... Actually, it makes total sense and will likely make them some cashola.

Le gasp, adding server browsing and adding french language support year after T:A's initial release didn't save T:A from downfall? Who would have thought?

T:A is dead.
Moving on, lets hope Hi-Rez learn from the experience or better yet somebody with a clue buys the IP. Hi-Rez started out alright but has since managed to fail on so many levels, it was almost comic to watch if it wasn't the greatest multiplayer shooter of all time they where grinding into the dirt, *dance* even T:V had better MP once the community got to it.
