Fletcher is good but he’s not that much better than other engis. He is the best for being aggressive and playing with corners and such. However you say a competent Fletcher will dominate any other engineer, what about a competent Bushwhacker? He is an extremely stronk engineer too and that turret can be a true pain if used by a good player. Bushwhacker also has an advantage with his SMGs if he plays his range right.[/quote]

There are obviously parts where bushwhacker is better, since fletcher needs a corridor but on underground or first phase of chapel its a real nightmare to deal with.

I never felt that i couldnt do anything to bushwhacker because of his turret, sure its annoying but i could outplay that, but when you use a merc with less then 110hp against fletcher you can only hope that he is going to screw up, otherwise you will die 99% of times.

Back when he was just released he was pretty bugged but since most of the stickies bugs got dealt with he is insanely strong, now buff his stickies to explode faster and i dont even want to play anymore ;(.

@strawberryJacket No-one has said yet that they are buffing his stickies to explode faster, only that they are changing an augment that literally does not work. It could be something different.

[*] Changes have been made to Fletcher’s “Lock On” augment. No details exactly as to what those are.[/list]

So Fletcher’s Lock On will be reworked… Will Proxy get Lock On as well?

But it will probably buff his stickies in one way or another, i hope not but i already fear the outcome ;(.

This is something that kind of bugs me. This forum might as well just be a community fan site forum most of the time. I don’t have a lot of confidence that bugs we discuss here get noticed or logged anywhere, though that isn’t to say the same bugs don’t get discussed on the SD forums or wherever else.

Issues like the non-refresh of missions have been around forever, but I’ve yet to hear them mentioned. Yeah, we can bring it up on the stream, but when it’s come up so many times on the official forum we shouldn’t have to.

On the flip side, I do quite like our forum community on the whole, so it could be worse![/quote]

The bug and tech issue section of the forum is constantly combed by Noxie and others which then go to SD. Also, issues presented here are either seen by MM or is passed along to her which she includes in reports. It would be nice if SD posted here more often (happens from time to time) but information does get to them. And them not fixing bugs for months at a time has less to do with them or people not knowing about them and them simply becoming a low priority fix. The main bug I want fixed has been in the game since I started playing (crouch will reset a reload). They know about it since I’ve reported it on SD’s forum (with video) but it’s just never been put in one of their bug parcels to fix during a sprint it seems.
