This isn't TT or Call of Duty, or any other game you may compare it to. Its GodDamn Wh40k Eternal Crusade, and the Dev's can make it whatever they want, and so far, they seem to be leaning towards this kind of Hard combat reasonable advantage type advancement considering a lot the gear you unlock Directly affects your survivability or damage mitigation unlike in a more typical FPS like CoD. I dunno. I just wanna feel like a REAL GodDamn SpaceMarine on the Battlefield. Anyone else got that feels?
you just cant give people access to everything and expect matches to be fair. If classes like JPA could equip more they would be flat out broken. They already have too much power as is. If an apothacary could just equip everything he would be too powerful in all scenarios. If a loota could equip the best armor, an ace dakka, and a frag nade you would have a nightmare of a time killing him. If a striking scorpion could equip the best offense and defense they would be stupid hard to counter. If a chaos sorc could equip the best heal AND the best sword he would influence way too much. Yeah some things are over costed or just not worth the price but problem is there are also too many things that are too strong or undercosted as well. Imo if people wanna have meltas be as effective as they are now then they need to be so expensive that you cant equip a melta bomb. You get offense or defense. You shouldnt have both in spades because it just ruins the game and turns it into a giant haves vs have nots. Which is already a problem in many games.
All those examples only hold true when you compare them to lesser equipped opponents though, if everyone had access to more gear the balance could change but not necessarily get broken, because we'd enter that state where everybody would be OP, and if everybody is OP then it's balanced.
Erm no thats not how balance works, it breaks the game and the pacing; This is how this mess we have now was created in the first place man . . .
I don't think it would break the game, the pacing though, i hope it does, i hate the game's actual pacing.
I find that the game's pacing is way too fast, LMB spam, exploding PC's everywhere, melta killing rhinos in less than 3 seconds etc. and the sprint is too fast too, this game needs to tone down o speed drugs cause like that it's no fun, doesn't not feel like i wear power armor when i run at 60 KM/H
I can't even wear second tier armor with my default loadout without removing half my trinkets and grenades on my Space marines.. Such choices..
