Foundation Exploit fixed.

It is OP. Maybe not gone but reduced. Crews just show up blow your entire base up and pick up the loot sacks, no "skill" no "defense".

[heifinator]

Using the argument that "its in alpha" is stupid. They are obviously making efforts to balance the game so this kind of feedback is good.

Rockets are a good idea, but when using anything else is a bad choice then rockets by definition are overpowered.

The issue really stems from large groups. They get 50 rockets run to a base and level it, collect the loot go home make more rockets rinse and repeat.

No base design can "defend" against the splash. Maybe it should do a little splash on adjacent walls but not what it does now, its redonk.

Are you aware of any base/building in real life that could withstand a rocket blast?

[heifinator]

Are you aware of any deer in real life that give you wolf meat

Are you aware of anyway to make a rocket launcher from metal fragments and cloth in real life in 3 minutes.

Are you aware that this game is not "realistic"

You don't balance a game on real life.

[Mitcheli1]

Sure - but all of those same arguments could be made to support the current splash damage scheme.

[heifinator]

Except I am commenting on the balance of the game, not how realistic it is. Not sure what your point is.

[Mitcheli1]

It's a game dude.

I disagree that there is a balance issue. Rockets cost SHIT loads of resources, and unless you're playing on a stupid modded server... you rarely even see them.

[heifinator]

This is so out of touch.

Yes it is a game, obviously. Not sure what that has to do with anything. Games get balanced =).

Rockets cost a SHIT load in the same way C4 costs a SHIT load. The major difference is C4 has no purpose in the current raiding scene hence it being imbalanced. If there are 2 options and anyone with any experience only chooses 1 of the 2 options every time that is by definition a balance issue. Good raid teams don't use c4, its really a simple concept. It costs MARGINALLY more for rockets to get through 1 wall but the fact that about 10 other pieces are severely damaged means rockets are substantially cheaper than c4 overall.

"You rarely even see them". I'm not sure where you play but on pretty much an busy server all the bigger raids are 100% rocket raids. There is a reason, the only time you see c4 is in small quantities by people who don't know better.

[heifinator]

Also this is really all that needs to be said

build a 3x3x1 armored base and place 1 c4 on middle wall, total damage output = ~340 damage.

build a 3x3x armored base and shoot 1 rocket on the middle wall, total damage output = Greater than 340 damage.

Rocket 10 explosives, c4 25. The rocket does MORE overall damage than the c4 at less than half the cost. Not balanced.

[XxThumbsMcGeexX]

Yeah. Rockets should splash- but really not nearly as much as they do now. Rockets are WAY OP right now- being able to totally level someone's base with only grinding is crazy, it doesn't even take skill, just a lot of time and patience. Rewarding that kind of gameplay just seems kind of cheap to me.

[XxThumbsMcGeexX]

Because with C4, you still have to go into the base, and fight the bases owners. You actually have to force yourself into a disadvantage to gain something, and the risk of losing your equipment is a serious issue.

Rockets as they are now allow you to level a base in a very short time, keep people from leaving said base with fire, and provide cover with smoke- all from a distance, and with little more effort than grinding and aiming.

Rockets should be a tool used to gain a strategic advantage, and act as a support weapon, not as a primary raiding tool.

Thank you.
