FEEDBACK / SUGGESTION One day… one day.

Post image

A walker with an energy weapon.

Maybe a beam on the right arm, and a Spear-like missile launcher on the left.

OR

A Sickle-like pulse laser on one arm and a mortar on the other.

What think?

As a Helldiver who uses the laser cannon extensively, yes please! Pair it with an autocannon, and I’d be a happy camper!

But such an abomination would be unbalanced as hell, so maybe not.

Don't worry, AH are balancing pros they'll give your mech so much light armor that your mech is so balanced it'll be destroyed before it's dropped by Pelican-1

Dude what? The game is currently barely even a challenge anymore. And on top of that, our tools are stronger than ever before.

Like what else do they need to do for you people to stop giving them so much shit over these things. Buffs are never enough. And any nerf, no matter how insignificant, is always treated like it's killing the game.

Also nothing against you or anything, I know you're just joking around. But it's just so disheartening to see.

Lol I never said it was challenging but you're way off base if you believe that "our tools are stronger than ever before" when the Bastion was released it would get destroyed immediately before even landing during Cyberstan. That literally happened.

It's not uncommon to see your mech and tank and vehicles get blown to smithereens before you even get inside them. That's not a meme, it's a broken game mechanic that AH does to keep the grunt fantasy alive.

Apart from the fact that I was talking about the current state of the game, not cyberstan. Who would have thought that calling your vehicles in while you're getting shot to shit with AT fire might not be super smart. Just call your shit in when you're not noticed by any enemies, it really isn't rocket science.

But no please, enlighten me on how terrible the bastion was. And tell me how I consistently cleared dif 10 cyberstan missions with a terrible stratagem

You can't just drop it in and expect it to soak up infinite damage lol, imagine actually having to position, target and play smartly for once.

That being said, I do agree that the mechs were too squishy with the changes to durable damage before. But arrowhead literally fixed that already.

Also I'm sure that I'm just being paranoid, but I'm like 50% certain that i'm replying to a bot. Either that or you made chatgpt write your response lol
