Thread: don't do the +1 ham. add bio suits.
Fix the Loot issues, fix our components and add Bio suits that offer 80 or more poisen desease resist but low AC ratings in other areas craftable by armorsmiths or taylors and use Bio tissues. Let them have a low durability and somewhat easy to make.
But don't allow them to be worn over armor.
worried about poisen? wear the suit but then you worry about the bullets your choice.
This would help so many professions and stop some of the CM complaints.
I like that idea.
Does not nerf you AND it adds more worth to Tailors for the clothing and Docs? for the modules.
My guess is that some type of anti-toxin segment will be avaialble for armorsmiths to incorporate in time. I'm not really sure that I'd want to see it as a tailor thing that could be worn under armor.
Yet at the same rate it's likely a bit much to presume the PC has to remove all conventional protection for some bio-defense. 80 would be very steep on defense, but a legitimate defense to our capabilities needs to be in the game, and it is, as you note, far preferable to a nerf.
However, I'm not sure it's the answer to this one. This isnt just our poisons anymore. This is a fundamental change to all DOT behavior, and I don't think they're going to tailor one just for us.
But I think you do wanna hold onto this. Because after ARC goes live (and possibly AOE disease) more nerf calls will come, and this is a strongly viable counterargument to a potency/resist nerf. Start forcingthe composite boys to walk down from their high resists on conventionals (and open themselves up more to your teammates damage) to grant soem resistance to ours.
Jacore
Basically I'm saying you have a choice. You can defend against bullets or poisen not both to the same extent. this means in a raid you might have a group of people wearing Bio suits only for defending against CM's and the rest to defend against blast melee ect.
No Bio suits should not be worn under armor.
You can't have it all.
incap by poisen should be a bear. Actually poisen should kill period. Chemical Warfare is the worst form of fighting in any war. Perhaps you should make Poisen and desease hit frendly's and unfrendly's that would make more since than making it stop at 1ham.
Making poisen hit everyone would stop cm's from just lobbing poisen into fighting groups of both rebels and maggots (oops imps)
If your talking about incap longer than 10 min ok this is bad. they should put a 5 min incap max in game for ALL incaps and 3 incap death that resets after 10 min. Or a max number of incaps per clone before auto DB or something.
There are too many alternatives to a nerf. Besides The devs need to be careful right now, if you haven't noticed there is a mass exodis to alternate games happening right now and many of those are from SWG frustration due to ether nerfs content or the game not being what they thought it'd be.
