Aimee? are you guys excited?

(Mrarauzz) #1

So she is in the files and can be played with. PDP is her primary along with DE as secondary. Her hp pool is 80 so im assuming she has a run speed of 470. I hope her cam really helps to spot because right now I feel a little underwhelmed by her, but she might be pretty good ! :smiley: I want the cam to replace the mini map of your teammates (by your choice ofc) . Anybody got some ideas of it might work? also self plug of a video of me playing her, also i want to be excited but turtle :S

Just a little skeptical, but hey, nice find. Keep in mind that this in no way confirms that she is next to be released.

(SaulWolfden) #3

Iā€™m really hoping that 80 hp is a placeholder, thatā€™s way too low for her role since she canā€™t heal herself unlike Aura or Sparks. She needs 90 hp bare minimum. I honestly wonā€™t care about her unless she gets at least one different primary from Vassili, otherwise sheā€™s just Vassili with boobs.

@OatmealFox true I hope we can see turtle instead :stuck_out_tongue:

@SaulWolfden yeap was thinking the same with the HP ā€¦just seems way to low for a recon merc, especially if she has Vassili weapons.

(OatmealFox) #5

Given the low HP and absent ability, I think she probably will not come next, and they are just putting in preliminary files for her eventual release. Just my feeling.

(sgtCrookyGrin) #6

honestly, we need a new engie instead of a recon right now.

(Amerika) #7

Nope. Low HP + very little value for recons right now due to questionable design choices makes me not care at all.

(Dawnlazy) #8

I will finally be able to join a game with 3 snipers in my squad, everyone will love me right?

(streetwiseSailboat) #9

I just hope she has 90 hp and can have the Grandeur as one of her weapons. Then sheā€™ll be a bit similar to Kira.

(BananaSlug) #10

but turtle :c

(Mr-Penguin) #11

Since I donā€™t like sniper type characters (yet I still play Sparks. Sue me.), Aimee doesnā€™t interest me at all.

Iā€™ll just sit in my corner and wait for Javelinā€¦

(MarsRover) #12

If she gets at least one primary thatā€™s not a sniper rifle - a little. If not - zero interest.

But yeah we desperately need another engineer.

(blisteringOwlNest) #13

If she does have such little hp, then Iā€™d expect her ability to have some amazing value. Also, I hope she gets another semi auto or otherwise fast firing sniper, as she seems to be faster, so would benefit from fast firing, and repositioning. In fact, could she have an ability to change spawn location?

No we dont. I dont see why people feel that we absolutely need an engineer. Especially considering Turtle, the guy with a shield that looks ridiculously useless compared to Fletcher or Proxy

(TheVulpesFox) #15

I donā€™t know if it is confirmed that she will have these weapons because I donā€™t think they have changed her since last time she was there. That is the same 3rd eye right? I thought they were reworking her so I thought she would be different. Maybe the devs are toying with us.

(JJMAJR) #16

Iā€™m saddened about the fact that bolt action snipers are only on one class, and sniper rifles in general only are used by one group of classes: recons.

[spoiler]Sniper rifles have low ammo, but itā€™s apparently too much to ask for a Fire Support that only recharges abilities.

Snipers that heal people would be stupid, pre-nerf Sparks being a clear example of this.

The engineer classes would be too dangerous with a sniper rifle unless we get an Objective Specialist that only has a sniper be their defining defensive ability.

So the only other option would be to make a sniper assault class, which doesnā€™t add much diversity.[/spoiler]

Having another recon class with a sniper rifle? Just like what happened with Stoker having another assault rifle. Less potential diversity, sighā€¦

(AlphaUT) #17

What is the code to try those mercs ? I know the codes for the maps, but not mercs

BTW, I wish for her to come out earlier than Turtle, because I like sniper classes, hopefully SD will gives us some surprises

(JJMAJR) #18

Fire Support in a nutshell:
Guy with assault rifle that calls in airstrikes.
Guy with assault rifle that calls in artillery.
Guy with assault rifle that burns people.
Guy in real life using a lazor beam. And assault rifle. But dies quickly. Because the personā€™s not manly enough.

Medics in a nutshell:
Guy with radial healing and can even revive himself.
Some chick with a healing station and shotguns, and has the most speed.
Slowest person but heals and kills the best.
Revives without much risk to themselves but not ideal for combat.

Which is better?

Recons in a nutshell:
Spotter with sniper rifle.
Smoke grenades, better combat abilities, and semi-automatic rifles, mostly snipers.
Shitty self-healer with no purpose.

I do like snipers, but I want something other than a spotter to use them. Please.

@JJMAJR
unless you are referring to each kind of role;
1)kira is no guy, thats why she is so fast and got less health
2)sparks got the same speed as aura
3)the slowest person is rhino and hes no medic
4)sparks is not sniper anymore (which is good)

a nice addition for a sniper would be a weakspot sensor that detects 2 weakspots in the armor of any enemy that steps into its 3m radius
the weakspots are highlighted for aimee only and multiply the damage by 1.5
weakspots are small, locations are randomized and last for 5-10 seconds

(m86edit) #20

my fear is that her 80 hp makes her the worst sniper to fight against other snipers, being one shot by the PDP and even the grandeur.

which would make her ability have to be very strong to compensate for her low health, like kira.
