... you could sneak in a small and nice rules update of the Guijia when Army is updated on 27th, right? RIGHT?
New Symbio Mates/Bombs that don't look this silly, thank you very much. Also new REMs for the remaining factions, pretty please.
That wouldn't do much, though. I don't know exactly what they did for the Bolts, but they seem to have opted for the LSG to decrease slightly in price and somehow one of the other skills got reduced in price by another point since all profiles got a -1 shift while the LSG profiles shifted -2. For Shang-Ji, I don't know what would constitute a "bolt style" rework other than the introduction of a KHD and some profile with a heavy flamethrower. Possibly there's a Hospitaller rework where two points and a CCW upgrade is found out of nowhere, but what would a DA CCW and 2 fewer points do for Shang-Ji anyway? Well... actually, maybe a 2 or 3 points reduction across the board would do it. Hrm... Still kind of want to see AVA 2 Wu Ming with IA-Wildcard and Shang-Ji with FD2 and Shanger-wildcard changed to "up to 1 Hulang"
The Bolt rework had across-the-board point decreases for existing profiles, except for the Multi Sniper, who went up 1 point but also gained MSV1. The big shift was a 0 SWC Haris option, the removal of EM grenades, and the inclusion of new disposables (Drop bear combined with boarding shotguns for a cheap profile, as well as E/Mauler for E/M, and also a new KHD option.) So point decrease, new equipment, and new combinations of equipment for cheaper, more useful, more defined roles.
So what you're saying is, essentially, increase the emphasis on Fire as the medium, magically find some points reduction, and probably hand out some grenades to actually use that increased PH? Could work. I'd love if the HRL profile was the TA profile instead of the Spitfire, though.
If they add a bunch of cool gear like Nades/Mines etc that will make people actually consider them as a tactical weapons upgrade for wildcard purposes
A TA HRL Shang Ji would be cool. Or a TA Hacker Shang Ji. One or the other, really. OR maybe somehow find a magical discount and then shove a nice big meaty HFT in there to bump the cost back up to the original, but give us a net benefit of having a big fuck off HFT...?
I don't even care if they stay the same price. Just do something to their load outs or skills to give us a reason to take them.
A new sculpt for them would be grand too, honestly. Just sneak it in there among future IA releases ( I am still waiting on that Mowang honestly, and I sincerely hope it doesn't end up taking as long as it is taking the Zondnautica to get here... nor the Montesa Knight. ).
