I don’t believe his goggles spot enemies, in that they won’t have the same symbol as with Vasilli’s sensor. I believe they’re a personal use skill only.[/quote]
If that was the case, that would pretty much destroy Redeye’s teamplay capability, because if he smokes a chokepoint full of enemies, then the teammates who aren’t Redeye can’t see through the smoke and thus will be unable to accurately hit enemies in or behind the smoke. We don’t want another ability being used so selfishly like Phantom’s cloak prenerf.[/quote]

if it doesn’t give vision to the team it will have an effect like Cs where people go no where near an area that has been smoked or will spray through it. Except it should be easy to counter.[/quote]

I’m pretty sure it’s safe to say that the IR Goggles will detect enemies for teammates too. It’d just be plain stupid to not have it work that way in my opinion.

I cant wait for my frames to drop because of smoke grenades! Does anyone know any new potato configs?

Different iterations of smokes came out during closed beta, and the last ones were pretty neat in the cpu/gpu resource consumption part.

That’s good, but I think you overestimate my computer. I lag from rhinos shooting too much.

In case someone is curious “Galah” is a type of bright pink parrot and it is also derogatory Australian slang, synonymous with ‘fool’ or ‘idiot’. Because of the bird’s distinctive bright pink, it is also used for gaudy dress. A detailed, yet comedic description of the Australian slang term can be found in the standup comedy performance of Paul Hogan, titled Stand Up Hoges. Another famous user of the slang “galah” is Alf Stewart from Home and Away who is often heard saying “Flaming galah!” when he is riled by somebody.

That’s because it’s a slippery slope. They’ve done it once now, means they could just as easily do it again and it proves they’re willing to do it in the first place. Not our fault they hurt the trust many of us held in them in regards to balance o_o. Just how it is. They’ll have to prove via action they won’t knee jerk everything again.[/quote]
They did the right thing with Phantom.[/quote]

As shown by his complete lack of competitive use, his universal lack of use and how the vast majority, including people who even called for his former nerf, are now asking for a buff in some way or another.

Because they did the right thing and he is now so “balanced”.

I had one, maybe silly, questions about RE (Red Eye).

  1. Let’s say, we are in the gunfight in smaller room (ie. 2vs2), i drop the smoke and use my infra-red vision, do i blind my teammates too (so, they don’t see anything)? If yes, it would be a bit selfish from me.
    Sorry, if this question is stupid, but it just came to mind.

Yes it would blind the teammate as well. But what you would do in that scenario depends really on whats happening? if you’re already winning the fight, no need. losing it though? Drop it, cover your friends retreat and possibly get a few kills. +if he spots them through the smoke like we think he does, your ally can spray at them as well.

Redeye seems OP, and he’s not even out yet. I’m just that guy.

For his ability, and incredibly strong rifles, I was sorta sitting thinking he was kinda strong, so I was thinking perhaps a smaller health pool would balance it out.

But 120 hp? I really dunno bout this one. Will have to wait and see.

He has 120 hp? That needs to be reduced. Other than that, he looks fine. It will definitely be a merc who rewards good aiming.

Why?

(Snark) #114

@titaniumCrouton Because classes/characters that are proficient at long ranges are generally frail so that they can be countered.

Definitely looking forward to seeing how he and the new rifle plays out in competitions and competitive scales, as well as how well he’ll counter snipers and buff lemming rushing objectives on larger servers. An instant unlock for me. May well be overpowered on release.

(Parmenion) #115

Redeye could be release without any skills, i buy him day one anyway. The M14 is the gun i wait since the open beta.

Good by Arty / Dreiss.

He is literally better at phantom in almost everything, I understand he is the counter, but phantom should still have some advantages. Redeye has higher damaging guns, a unique melee weapon, a way to hide his self (probably more invisible than phantom inside the smoke, and can see all enemy’s for a short period of time. Just reducing his hp to 110 would help even it out a little more. Or the opposite, and re-adding the health to Phantom.

[quote=“Wolffe7;60439”]No hate for me, but I’m 100% sure Red-Eye will be called OP as soon as he comes out. Brace for whining.
Also no Phoenix for me again… Guess I need to wait even more ;~; #Feels[/quote]

There’s always some whine when a new merc comes out. I don’t think Red Eye will cause even nearly as much whine as phantom did, because Red Eye has a battle rifle which many people can’t even use properly, phantom had invisibility and a katana that doesn’t take “much” skill to swing.

(HeroToZero) #118

How do you explain Arty who is most definitely a long range class (with driess, BR-16 and stark-ar) who also has 120 health? personally I think his health pool will not be an issue at all.

Arty has 120, Vas has 100. redeye would be around arty’s range for the majority of engagements. Seems fine to me.

Red eye will have 120 hp, basically hes arty with more long range options but less close range and is not really good in objective play (not even destroying the EV)
