Elusive Aimee disappoints.


(jollyRacer) #1

Her old model was inserted into the game files recently to give false hope to the fans as an attempt to disguise the fact that Turtle will be the next merc coming out. ( This is just plain wrong to mislead the devoted fans of this merc )

Even if the model we’re looking at is not a hoax, then here are the points that disappoints us.

-She still has the PDP as her “Signature” weapon, something that is probably going to undergo the nerf hammer in the future.
-She’s probably going to get lame alternative weapons like - Burst rifles/SMG (Not saying that these weapons are lame but the fact that there’s no originality in terms of weapons displayed along with her release is hugely disappointing.)
-She has 80 hp which is pathetic if you expect her to be on a high level of play with that low hp pool, equipped with a freaking SMG/Rifle on the frontlines to duel against Stoker/Fragger type of mercs.
-Her skill is still the useless 3rd eye cam.
In this fast paced game, I am 100% certain that nobody would have the time to place the cameras, run to a safe spot and then have your whole screen switch to the camera’s view to look at where the opponents are. Devs, we’re talking about Dirty Bomb which has mercs who can sprint and wall jump.
When you look into your camera, you’re basically a sitting duck. Even if you manage to spot someone in the camera, they’ll probably run out of its view in 1.5 seconds.

Compare this to vasilli’s Heartbeat Sensor which allows him to just simply throw the thing and mark enemies with a dot which then enables the player to prepare for the shots.

The fans have been waiting for so many months now, more than half a year and yet this is what we get.

  • A useless ability
  • Same old weapons without just ONE new signature weapon unique only to her.
    Overall, she will be a disappointment if she doesn’t undergo changes.

Want to make your remaining devoted players happy? Give her,

  • A unqiue signature sniper
  • A skill that makes a difference

Bro chill…sure I agree with you but just not yet. It’s just a model most likely from Closed Beta stages, it’s gonna change for sure.

Why did they actually remove her the first time around? Was there some problem with her. I’m vague on the details as I only started playing last July.

I started in May so not an expert in the subject, but since SD “removed” quite a many of mercs towards the start of Open Beta phase we joined, they might’ve had a plan to start with handful of more solid mercs and start balancing process with them instead of releasing full roster right off the bat. Also nice to seemingly release “new” mercs every now and then, thus keeping content coming in, newer players happy and older feeling nostalgia or something whatever :wink:

If that is the case then it’s safe to say Aimee is very uncompleted. Doesn’t look like anything has changed from what I heard about her? Haha.

SD said that Aimee was undergoing multiple changes / balancing anyway and she is going to play much different to that of what we saw in the closed beta. Which probably means that the 3rd eye camera will be changed, but i actually like the fact of having 80hp as well as a faster movespeed.

  • I’m pretty sure her weapons will be PDP/FE-LIX then either Grandeur or MOA (Don’t quote me on the weapons, that’s a guess)

@Xavien I have to speak up now before she gets announced in the merc roll-call. Otherwise, if this is the Aimee that we’ll be looking at in the video, it’ll be too late to make changes by then. Once she has her loadouts etc, it would be impossible to fight for her to get her unique weapon and have a different ability - not the 3rd eye lame cam

Going to close this thread as it is a lot of hot air and speculation that isn’t going to go anywhere. Definitely some FUD involved as well…

Please take what @Cook2826 said as the truth as I know SD has made that statement.

No promises obviously, but it is very premature to be having any conversation like this. Mercs can most definitely be changed after release. In fact SD said they would be taking a look at Phantom again in a recent stream. So you never know.

Anyways. Definitely closing this for now.

The first line in your post here answers everything for you… it was her OLD model, and nothing has changed in regards to it. Before other mercs were re-released we could use their abilities (and even earlier, summon the mercs themselves in offline mode, although this was of course removed), and many of them were quite different to their release.

Chances are, it’s as you pretty much said yourself. It’s her old model that has been accidentally activated in the game files, because all are still buried in the .upk files, they just can’t be opened without the dev SDK encryption pass. The one in the folders has likely just been accidentally left activated, which is completely her old model. Nothing from it should be taken as though that will be her final release.

Sorry @Ardez I just wanted to clear up this a little more.

Posting here since I was the only mod not to post here. Carry on.
