Re: Armour Wars: Episode 3, Revenge of the Balance

Personally when it comes to armour, having not read any of this thread at all, I like to use a game like dark souls for a prime example of how armour should work. Armour itself is barely going to save you, it might give you that extra leap of surviving one extra hit, but it isn't something you shou...

Re: Armour Wars: Episode 3, Revenge of the Balance

I never understood the logic behind the armour nerfs. People always said "stuns are OP", which in isolation is true, but nerfing armour does not address that issue any any way, shape or form. Stuns by definition, are a 1 hit fall over. So it doesn't matter how weak armour is, or how powerf...

Re: Pinpointer implant

Only downside of this is that it makes it harder for the crew to get access to a pinpointer - it's fairly common for some scrubshit op to get dunked and looted rather then suiciding.
Not sure if that's a good or bad thing, but it is worth keeping in mind.
