Hello all...
So the BT hype has gotten exponentially greater in the past month. This dev's of this game have spent years balancing...and we are extremely close now, yet we want to throw all of this away? I have spent so much time (and not even as long as most players who were in the beta for example) learning the movement physics of this game. Being forced to relearn every aspect of the game, including everything down to movement is extremely frustrating and turns me away from even trying to continue going forward with this game. What would be the point to play now if these kind of changes are going to be put into effect?
I would not be against changes being implemented if they were not so sweeping (having drifters build structures, huge movement changes, and an overall change to the game). This game is not natural selection 1. Balance within an asymmetrical game is almost impossible. You can balance off of competitive games, or you can balance off of public games. You will never achieve a completely 50-50 win rate within pub play and competitive play.
Now if these changes are going to go into the game, you can guarantee that a majority of the competitive players will leave due to the depth of changes being put into the game. I will give the balance mod a fair chance if/when it gets implemented, but I do not want to relearn the entire game.
I know people don't want to hear this, and I know that a lot of people think the same way as me, but they do not want to express it. I am not very good at conveying my thought (be it through talk or text) but I just want to start a discussion on this.
I know the responses I will get...that I haven't been around the balance mod as much as I should...that i'm not giving it a fair chance...or that NS1 had changes as well and everything worked out fine. Once again this is not NS1. I do not need to put more hours into an entire new game that I have already learned previously. It puts me off. I know this will turn into a huge thread with tons of trolls who completely put this post off and call it stupid...but this needs to be said.
