I posted this idea in another thread as it was something we discussed on ventrilo last night. The ion cannon as is does massive damage and far outweighs the other guns in its class. It needs "fixing". This issue has come up in the balancing thread but I didnt want to go in there again as that thread is in danger of being derailed. Besides I wanted to post a poll as I want a proper gauge of opinions.
In my honest opinion the first step to balancing the ionic weapons (specifically the cannon but ion weaponry in general) is to add a tech requirement to them.
I have absolutely no idea why the ionic weapons (considering their source o_O) are not currently hitech. I think that this would go a long way towards balancing them up and giving all of the spies and pes a fighting chance against all these low tech ion tanks.
As far as I can see the ion weapon using pes and spies (specifically the pistol users) use other weapons also, these will generally have a tech requirement so its not like the weapon users are getting nerfed as its something they have accounted for in their setups. The tanks however have a single weapon that they can have massive runspeed bonuses with and are far and away at a huge advantage over other classes. It seems like currently the only weapons that can beat a good ion tank are the woc weapons. This does not appear to be balanced to me.
I would like your opinions.
P.s Jini stay out of my thread, i dont like your ideas, opinions or viewpoint and I do not want you derailing my thread your bs.
Thanks all.
Mods - I do not see the option to add polls any more, would someone be kind enough to add one for me please. Just to say something along the lines of ion cannons - low tech?? yes or no?
Thanks again.
