    Default GU011: Weapon And Vehicles Changes / Others

    The below are the major weapon and vehicle changes planned for GU011.

    Vehicle and MAX Resource Costs

    • The majority of vehicles and the MAX units will be getting a resource cost increase with this update. The new values are based on data that we have collected from the Live servers, and our goal is to even out the resource costs with their related income rates.
      • New Costs:
      • Flash: 150
      • Sunderer: 400
      • Lightning: 400
      • Magrider: 450
      • Vanguard: 450
      • Prowler: 450
      • Scythe: 250
      • Reaver: 250
      • Mosquito: 250
      • Liberator: 350
      • Galaxy: 350
      • Harasser: 400
      • MAX: 350

    MAX Abilities

    • The Burster buffs when using the VS ZOE and TR Lockdown abilities will be reduced.
    • The damage received when the VS ZOE ability is active will be getting increased.
    • Note: The timer currently on the test server for the ZOE ability is not planned to go live.

    Shotguns

    • All shotguns will be getting a small reduction in damage per pellet. The goal with this change is to reduce slop while keeping the effective kill ranges of the shotguns the same. So glancing hits and spamming without aiming will not be as rewarding, but well-aimed shots should just be as effective as before.
    • The default ammo count on the pump-action shotguns will be dropping from 5 to 4 rounds. This brings their potential kills per magazine and kills over time more in line with the other weapon classes.

    Faction Heavy Weapons

    • All faction weapons will be getting a pass to make them more effective at their various roles.
    • Jackhammer: The ammunition capacity of this weapon is being increased to 9 rounds. Also, the burst mode will be gaining a rate of fire increase.
    • MCG: The fire delay is being removed. Instead, the weapon will fire immediately and the rate of fire will ramp up over time. The hip accuracy is being adjusted to better allow sustained fire.
    • Lasher: This weapon will receive a rate of fire increase and a slight damage buff, which should allow it to be viable in more situations. Also, ally players will no longer take the full AOE damage.

    IRNV Scopes

    • We feel that the current downsides to this optic (less visibility at range) are negligible when compared to its benefits. We’re going to be adding a very small delay before the night vision is active and a small amount of scope sway to better balance the attachment out.

    Flak

    • Bursters will be getting an accuracy penalty when moving and COF bloom is being added over sustained fire. The goal with this change is keep them just as effective at near range while dropping their effectiveness at extreme ranges (300+ meters).
    • Skyguards will be getting a projectile speed increase and other stat changes to make them better at range.

    Vulcan

    • The Vulcan has been updated to be more effective at range and now has a larger clip size.
    • In addition, it has been given a spin up time. The Vulcan still fires during the spin up time, but at a reduced rate.

    Sunderer Deployment

    • Facilities and Outposts on Indar and Amerish now have Sunderer No Deploy Zones. These function just the like No Deploy Radius around allied deployed Sunderers. These zones prevent you from parking your Sunderer right on top of the capture points. You’ll have to fight to the capture points on foot. "Just a quick clarification: The no-deploy zones are restrictions for attackers only." questo è gamebreaking lol... cioè niente più sundy dentro alle AMP STATION? LOOOOOOOOOL

    Edit: Forgot one. Edit 2: Spelling
    Underbarrel Attachments

    • These have been removed from the weapon selection list and are now mapped to the primary weapon key. Press 1 to swap between the weapon and its attachment.

    riporto qui le patch notes del test server, visto che molte di queste cose andranno live con la GU11, QUESTE NON SONO DEFINITIVE

    Test Patch Notes 6/13
    Please take some time to check out a few of the things that went to the test server in the latest build. Let us know if you find any bugs and what you think of the changes. Thanks!

    Map Tutorial

    New map tutorial! It is accessed by clicking the question mark button at the bottom right corner of the map. This can be accessed by anyone at any time. Note that the help button that opens the map tutorial will be moving to a new location and will get new icons.

    Interactive Tutorial

    • Tutorial Intro now includes a list of topics that will be covered and an approximate ETA.
    • Infiltrator segment now also mentions holding breath to stabilize scope sway.
    • Warpgate Terminal now highlights the highest non-queued continent instead of always Indar.
    • Several minor tweaks and fixes to the tutorial to improve usability.

    Continent domination thresholds


    • Domination requirement lowered from 100% to 75% of the territory on the continent.
    • The point where a domination benefit will be lost increased from 0% to 15% of owned territory.
    • Our goal is to make continent domination and denial during prime time a tough but reasonably achievable goal and to reduce the situations where entire empires would hold up in one facility.

    • More emphasis on fights where your empire has a small disadvantage
    • Optimal IA fight is now a bit bigger than platoon vs platoon.
    • Lowered maximum population allowed for an instant action / reinforcement point to be active.
    • The intent of these changes is to be a better reinforcement mechanic and to help support and balance the medium-sized fights.

    MAX Ability Tuning


    • Increased Zealot Overdrive armor debuff to 30%
    • Added a fuel cost to the Zealot Overdrive, allowing up to 8 seconds of sustained use
    • Reduced the indirect damage buff for Bursters when using Zealot Overdrive



      • Indirect vs ESF
        • Rank 1: +5% (~93 damage)

        • Rank 3: +9% (~97 damage)
        • Rank 4: +12% (~100 damage)
        • Rank 5: +15% (~103 damage)

      • Reduced the rate of fire/reload buff for Bursters when using Lockdown
        • Rank 1
          • Refire: -13
          • Reload: -10%
          • DPS: +5%

          • Reload: -30%
          • DPS: +15%

          • DPS: +20%

          • Refire: -55
          • Reload: -50%
          • DPS: +25%

    Squad Browser Improvements
    We’ve made several additions to the squad screen, including:

    • Battle Rank column
    • Location column (in meters or continent name depending on if you’re on the same continent)
    • Outfit tag column
    • Vehicle icon callout if the player is in a vehicle
    • An area to drag and drop a member to create a platoon
    • Toggle to show the outfit tag of the squad leader

    Squad and Platoon Improvements

    • Leaders names are now highlighted and have an icon callout in squad and voice chat listings

    Quick Action Menu Polish


    • Increased tracking speeds for vehicles and infantry.

    • Control should not be inverted if mouse control is inverted

    Tank and Fighter Superiority XP


    • Added Tank Superiority Bonus: 100 xp bonus for killing an enemy tank with a tank
