Maybe lets step back a little from factional jockeying and look at the hacking problem from the beginning. For me the beginning was N2, pre-ITS,...
The entire point of hacking is to add tactical depth and entertainment value to the existing rules of Infinity. Infinity is a lot of pages of...
Not exactly inferior but supportive. I would prefer hacking to be something that helps you solve problems rather than outright solving them...
Because it's a shooting game. I don't think that everything with a hackable trait should be hackable easily/reliably. 9BTS is Avatar-level-BTS....
Why should it be similarly easy to hack high BTS target and low BTS one?
I wouldn't mind more programs if they: a) were actually useful b) did interesting stuff a) For example I would prefer that, if Carbonite is...
I think that the game wouldn't hurt if it was changed to straight PH. As it is you can use Combat Jump for better chances (even without evo) as...
Well it seems that they managed to make Nomad sectorials relevant. Back when I played N2 and start of N3, people usually considered Vanilla...
Maybe lets consider this direction. How about going further: Oblivion only on KHDs (renamed Assault HDs). It would solve a problem of one linked...
Brainstorming idea: How about removing Oblivion Aro? Would make hackers(+) significantly more vulnerable to KHDs if they couldn't easily fry them...
Oh, in that case when I said "hard counter" I meant "strong counter", as I do think that consequences that I presented (building lists as counters...
I'm not trying to be cheeky or argumentative, but I honestly can't say I clearly do. Could you explain the difference a little?
I think that if hackers are oppresive the better way would be to nerf their most oppresive aspects (like GML and Oblivion), not necessarily making...
This is a valid take. I have only three replies: 1. Not everybody here seems to agree that active Spotlight->guided is fine, so it might not be. I...
If you want GML in a bin then advocate for binning GML. Why kill Spotlight with it? Spotlight without GML does not break the game one bit.
I'm ok with that, I really am. But nerfing spotlight won't solve any of those issues apart from nerfing GML, which can be solved by actually...
Then again the issue is oblivion not spotlight. And touching spotlight won't solve oblivion. I'm open to oblivion nerfs, or counterplays. I am...
Persistent Spotlight ARO is one of the best changes in N4 If not the best. At last hackers feel a little bit useful against low/non-hackable...
If someone is really worried about LoL, they can always take Noctifier Lt. I also wouldn't exactly call Umbra Lts fragile.
When in vanilla you can also take a couple securitate to make assassination less rewarding and appealing
