Which body type is your favourite? (part 1)

(AnthonyDa) #321

Still, playing with high XPzor = being owned because you don’t have rewards (manual way), and playing with low (matchmaking) is frustrating, unless there is an option to show the AVG level on a server in the server browser, but this is unlikely.

Apparently body type/XP isn’t supposed to give an advantage. Just hope that it holds up down to the last detail.

The upgrades are ‘persistant’, not ‘permanent’. They can be sold back, and you can buy different ones.

This isn’t entirely true…if body choosing different types had no advantage, why have them in the game? All the body types have advantages AND disadvantages, there just aren’t going to be advantages that are so great, it would render the other body types useless.

Look at the poll…Light and Medium are destroying Heavy, yet whenever people discuss a scenario where the body types could be uneven, it’s always the Heavies that make it uneven. “There’s a team full of Heavies, what are we gonna do?!” You’d think if Heavies were viewed as such threat, more people would want to be playing them…instead, they’d rather have the advantages of being Light or Medium over the advantages of being Heavy.

Advantage as in overall advantage. Meaning that you can join a random game of high ranked body type arrangements and only be at a real disadvantage due to your lack of ability as opposed to mechanical advantage. At least that seems to be what most people want to think thus far. Body types=options.

Exedore> Kay, but I can still huge flaws on current system.

(Exedore) #327

I perhaps also should’ve mentioned that body type is a purchased upgrade. It’s not hard to switch a char from Light to Heavy, but we don’t allow you to do it during a match.

How is the matchmaking flawed? You are matched with players of similar rank, so they will also have access to similar abilities…If you want,. you can choose to play anyone, but the matchmaking seems to be trying to make it as even as possible.

(INF3RN0) #329

I think he is saying it is “limited” when you want to play with people you know and can’t because of rank. Just having this as an option for newbies is not a bad idea though. Still as long as a smurf can play about as well as their main, there shouldn’t be any big issues.

I voted medium because I’m interested in some mobility using assault rifles. I think it would suit my style while trying to play medic.
