Killing the hopes of Aimee Fans

(ZeSpecter) #21

[quote=“Jostabeere;133447”][quote=“ZeSpecter;133429”][quote=“Mercy;133414”]I’ve been desperately waiting for Aimee too. Been wanting my Bonnie & Clyde snippity-snipety dastardly duo moment with my man!

Most of the male mercs have a female equivalent, this game has been very good about that. Bushwhacker, Proxy… Arty, Kira… Fragger, Nader. I could go on. Vassili needs his chick counterpart, dammit. Ladies snipe too. :* [/quote]

Rhino’s lady counterpart… Make it happen SD :kissing_heart: [/quote]

I hate people who call Rhino fat or assume he is fat so fricking much! It’s a damn modified bomber-suit he’s wearing! He’s probably a strongman champion![/quote]

Kinda like… doo-doo-do dooooooooo JOHN CENA???

Oh man, if there was an engineer with one of the sniper rifles (excluding grandeur) I’d be on that in a heartbeat (sensor). We need more mercs with weapons unusual for their roles.

This is a real Signature.[/quote]

What about Red Eye? He’s a sniper, and an engineer.


This is a real Signature.

Well, some one made a poll for that, and most people expected Turtle. But seriously we need more engineers.

(hippie) #24

we need a female merc with assult rifles…

(SaulWolfden) #25

I might actually care if she got added first if she got a GSR instead of the PDP while getting bolt actions as well, so she isn’t a carbon copy of Vassili weapon wise (Red Eye already has PDP as well, so no need for more than 2 Recons to have it).

I’d personally rather see Turtle get added since the game could use a new Engineer.

Aimee is more likely simply due to the fact that she was playable at one point.

As long as he does not have a cell phone to disarm fire crackers and blow torch to melt EVs he is not!

I seem to do a better job at doing objectives on him than some of the Engineers on my team. He’s also not a sniper, he’s a marksman, he actually works with the team unlike Vassili.

(Jostabeere) #28

Kira. She has 3 of them.

(watsyurdeal) #29

To be honest I don’t want another Recon merc till the current are fixed. There are some things that could definitely be worked on with Red Eye, Phantom, and Vasilli.

i meant like the timik or the mk -.-

The say “a timik or a mk”
[spoiler]Stark AR, BR-16 and Dreiss AR (stands for Assaut rifle, btw) are assault rifles as the M4A1 or the Timik. MK46 is an LMG, and not an Assaut rifle.

I think Vassili is fine right now. Redeye could use some tweaks. Phantom…holy sh*t he needs work.

(aRagRappy) #33

I really hope they dont make aimee a sniper. She wouldnt add anything to the game that vassili couldnt already do, even giving phantom sniper rifles but making it so he couldnt shoot out of cloak, removing the shield and improving his cloak would add a lot more. Then phantom could get behind the enemy and attack them from unexpected angles and scram when the enemy start shooting at him. Aimee would just be a weaker vassili all over again shooting from the exact same spots and palling around with vassili but with less hp and a worse sniper as her main. Basically same sniper crap but different (and worse) merc.

I dont consider redeye the same as vassili and instead more like arty, since he should be moving with his team helping their advance/objective completion with smoke, spotting and covering fire and not sitting all the way in the back with his thumb up his ass. Redeyes main weapons are the grandeur and dreiss which dont even have scopes, which making firing from across the entire map less effective. Not that he has to though with his set of abilities and I think it was a mistake to give him a scoped weapon like the PDP.

On the subject of the other recon, phantom is still in need of some kind of rework with him still being ineffectual as an actual recon merc.

SD talked about making a fast, close range recon that uses smgs and possibly shotguns I think before, why couldnt that be aimee since she is already a low hp/high speed character? Maybe even let her throw 2 or 3 of the cameras but they mark enemies in narrow cone without her manually looking through so she could create an alarm system around an area or scout corners. Or let her deploy a small flying drone that she could mark targets with.

Just spit balling some ideas here, but seriously I dont see the point of bringing her back as a sniper when thats exactly why she was removed in the first place. We already have the problem of fragger/thunder being so similar and trying to make both equal to each other, do we really need to repeat the same mistake twice in a row?

I feel that Aimee would be perfect if she’s a sniper as mentioned by Devs on stream. True that she’ll be sniping in the same spots as vassili but truth is, there’s only so many guns a fps game could have. So many mercs have access to smg and assault rifles but only 2 mercs right now have access to a sniper (excluding semi-auto rifles because they really don’t count)

So two sniper mercs and only vassili is being used in competitive with his bolt action. Red eye? I’m not hating on the merc at all, but having a pdp doesn’t help to counter vassili.

So a counter to vassili is a - vassili (sparks in some rare cases) as of now. If Aimee gets through as a sniper class with a bolt action sniper, with different skills like,

  • A chemical poison laced onto the current magazine so that it deals non-lethal damage over time say 5 seconds and the victim can’t be healed for the duration (this is to make sure pressure is still on the target even if he/she was only shot in the body)

  • A disruption ability, a projectile as small as vassili’s HBS and a smaller range. This item scans the area like the HBS would and it prevents the use of all skills within its range until it has expired or destroyed.
    This skill isn’t op, it would be effective in cases similar to nader vs enemies in a tight space. In dirty bomb, there might be 2 or more ways to reach an objective and being able to “disrupt” one entry point is a great way for competitive players to plan their strategies around.

I’m sure the devoted players here have more suggestions as to what her skills could be but this is my idea of an alternative counter sniper to vassili.
Ultimately, we want a variety of choices to be able to counter or play around some stuff. Right now if you need a sniper, it’s vassili. If you need a counter to vasilli - pick vasilli.

I’d rather she not get the bolt-actions. She’s supposed to be a lighter, faster version of Red Eye and I think giving her bolt-actions would significantly slow her down.

(jollyRacer) #36

I get what you mean but giving her a semi-auto sniper doesn’t speed her up too. In fact, a pdp takes a much longer time to kill as compared to a bolt action. Someone suggested that she should get her own signature sniper, which I’m kinda liking, as long as it’s not semi-auto. It’s no problem to me if it is a faster bolt action, with a faster scope but low enough damage that she can’t insta kill hp above fragger level

(SaulWolfden) #37

I’m glad to see I’m not the only that thinks this about Red Eye, good to see someone else understands how Red Eye is meant to be played.

I at least hope the people disagreeing with you weren’t disagreeing about this part because this is correct.

In regards to Aimee being lighter, I think they are just referring to how she weighs less and might have issue with the rifle that’s supposed to be heavier of the bolt actions.

@SaulWolfden Precisely. We all know how bad the PDP truly is as a weapon. Let’s hope no more future mercs get it.

(watsyurdeal) #40

PDP? Bad?
