Items/Weapon balance

Balance changes a very delicate subject and must be handled with incredible care. Battle bay is not as popular as other games you know which ones and the options are also fair few to choose our loadout. Nerfing something to the ground may not affect high end players with most of the crew talents but the players stuck in between with captain levels between 30-40.
Any balance changes should consider these players how it is going to affect these players from ace 1 to ace 3. Majority pool sits here so don't take example on NM league players our how popular weapon is among top 50. Most of them probably are heavy spenders and can build any set in weeks but its not same with all others.
For example speeder is insanely popular in top league but below that all we see are shooters and now after guild quests defenders have risen up too. So it doesn't matter what top players use what matters is the majority of pool. Balance changes hurt these players spreading unhappiness and costing the players pushing them step closer to quit game.

 

Yeah buff grenade fire!!! Only thing is that it gets to 88% with max perks and training...
And i would not call frost items balanced, i would say that they are trash now
But otherwise good points tugboat!

 

They are balanced at T4E and above levels but not who have rares and low epics its was not even that effective at low end now it has became trash.

 

T5 epic grenade pulls 3k damage in single hit with fire and also end game ISAK training boosts burn damage upto +100%....

 

Frost is literally useless, I wouldn't be surprised if fire damage gets the ax next. The continue removal of every single dynamic of this game other than shooting each other with sniper.

 

I’ll like to get a railgun reduction idea on crit chance of sniper, because when I go against a shooter and it Crits me point blank is like “critical what, that’s a critical pushing the fire button?” When you have the skill to hit a speeder from far far away, it should be critical but not from up close, so I think a cool mechanic could be the sniper having less chance of critting the close the objective is and if it’s a shot out of range or almost, it’s 80% a crit of the base critical chance for example 30% but if it’s point blank it NEVER hits you for more than it’s base damage

 

My Blast cannon fan heart got hurt

 

Yes, I think it’s a cool “nerf” or rework of it, but If the % is not visible it’s fine because it could be good to add it in the item description and that’s it, more realistic than a % constantly worrying you, just try to hit every time and you will get rewarded

 

Even my rare t5 has 60% and ~880 dmg + fire (when center hit) ~140. So lower levels is pretty ok too since i used it from mk4
