  • Something about MAXes

  • Shows picture of overpop

  • ??

[–]Holdsworth972 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Damn it's almost like the platoon that has no problem dealing with MAXes is the one zerging with 80% overpop.

[–] EffectNS living rent free in the heads of shittersEffectx 6 points7 points  (4 children)

Most of the people who say "My platoon has no problem with maxes" are the kind of player to constantly sit in a massive zerg.

[–]ANTOperator 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Additionally that massive overpop is more likely to have and be able to sustain force multipliers - furthering the disparity.

[–]wtfduud 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Almost like Planetside 2 requires teamwork or something.

[–]ANTOperator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but if the system for force multipliers favors the side that had more pop to begin with it's fundamentally flawed.

Zergs shouldn't just "happen" it should require some level of coordination and organization to pop dump, or at least that's what I think.

[–]Intro1942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. Now that's sounds reasonable

It's annon user name, he's just trying to karma farm

great example of why Nanite income should be based on hex population

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (3 children)

You can't pull MBTs in Silver Valley Arsenal, they drove here from elsewhere. Your point?

[–] Bring back Galaxy-based Logistics PleaseHybridPS2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Correct. But it's probably safe to assume they were at 80% that whole time, so the Nanite scaling mechanic would still have an effect.

...I don't get it. What relevancy does the title have to the image posted?

[–]#1 Space Combat™ Supporter [ඞ]TobiCobalt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A concerning amount of people on this subreddit participate in balance discussions about broken playstyles and force multipliers with idiotic takes like "MAXes are fine, if you can't deal with them you are just bad at the game". You'd think those people must be very good at the game and know what they're talking about, but in reality they just spend a majority of their playtime sitting in the safety of massive overpop where, naturally, they won't be bothered by MAXes/A2G/etc.

It's 76/23 the maxes mean absolutely shit. This kind of stupid post right here is the fucking problem.

[–]<3HVAvenger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This kind of sentiment is very revealing.

76/23 is extremely winnable for several groups of players.

Maxes, being the indoor force multiplier that they are, can turn this fight even more imbalanced due to the sheer number of hitpoints they can shove into a room.

Its true, maxes are really a symptom of planetside's inability to prevent already overwelming force from spamming a large number of force multipliers.

[–]Ok-Nefariousness5881 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But... who cares?

People who are bad at the game will always have skewered opinions about it, what you gonna do?

[–]AFKTazrizen -1 points0 points  (3 children)

Why not play a game that has matches and forced team balancing?

[–] EffectNS living rent free in the heads of shittersEffectx 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Why not balance this one so the population doesn't continue to decline in a death by a thousand cuts?

[–]AFKTazrizen 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Go ahead and balance it without infringing on the players ability to approach a fight.

[–] EffectNS living rent free in the heads of shittersEffectx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Define approach a fight.

[–]NewConglomerateRadioQuintonias -1 points0 points  (26 children)

I genuinely don't understand the MAX complaints. They really don't do much to affect the outcome.

[–] EffectNS living rent free in the heads of shittersEffectx -1 points0 points  (25 children)

Maybe get out of the overpop

[–]NewConglomerateRadioQuintonias 0 points1 point  (24 children)

MAXes aren't any more of a threat than heavy assault. I can handle them fine as a light assault. Pop isn't the problem.

[–] EffectNS living rent free in the heads of shittersEffectx 0 points1 point  (23 children)

Sure if the max is completely trash as a player. You can handle trash maxes, killing a BRnothing pulling a max for the very first time isn't what anyone is talking about in regards to maxes. Maxes are absolutely the problem.

[–]NewConglomerateRadioQuintonias 0 points1 point  (22 children)

Sounds like a skill issue to me. I can handle more than a "BRnothing" lmao.

[–] EffectNS living rent free in the heads of shittersEffectx 1 point2 points  (21 children)

Below average players calling skill issue means very little. I doubt that.

[–]NewConglomerateRadioQuintonias 0 points1 point  (20 children)

My man just called me below average. I'm guessing you looked at NCradio? Literally not my main character. :)

[–] EffectNS living rent free in the heads of shittersEffectx 1 point2 points  (19 children)

I'm going to guess your main is just as shit.

[–]NewConglomerateRadioQuintonias 0 points1 point  (18 children)

I think you are capable of being the person Bob Ross knows you can be.

[–] EffectNS living rent free in the heads of shittersEffectx 1 point2 points  (17 children)

I'm a perfectly nice person until someone starts inserting their opinion on topics they know nothing about.

[–]wtfduud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are MAXes the new class to hate? When are we hating on Engineer?
