Hey guys, if there is a search function on these new forums that would have answered this question I missed it.
I saw a video with shoe and smooth posted a year ago where they talked about game development, balance, and a myriad of other topics for an hour.
I’m paraphrasing, but the they talked a good bit about the data gathering they use for the developers to see weapon balance, merc balance, etc. but how that info from the tool needed to be cleaned up to share externally.
I want to see the data, because it’s pretty difficult now to make decisions on anything other than feel. I’ve read the most competitive loadout guide on the steam forums and the weapon stat sheet by Arsonist Cow and it’s a good start, but it feels incomplete, like somebody looking at the outside in with the available information trying to piece things together.
Is the data available? If not, when will it be available? Thanks.
I’d like to know things, like the expected damage to ev/generators and kills per minute for arty’s strikes versus skyhammer’s airstrike.
I’d like to know whether teams with more medics win more often than teams with more DPS classes.
I’d like to know whether the crotzini actually outperforms the smg-9 when the recoil is factored in.
Minor details like how the game actually works instead of how I feel it works.
In the ET days it was easy- everybody had mp40’s or thompson’s and the only thing you had to worry about was balancing classes and positions. Thanks.
