would anybody agree with me that some of the penalties are a bit too harsh.

i mean we take a hit in interlock as it is with the 1 dps attacks but then to hit us with an accuracy debuff too, thats streching it a little.

if they are giving the accuracy debuff as part of a support class label (which i highly disagree with) then why havent they done it to riflemen or smg specialists , who are also ranged fighters who recieve no IL accuracy penalty ?

i thought ranged did recive a debuff? theres an ability in the operative or soldeir tree that says it gets rid of debuff when firing into interlock... or does it not do anything?

thats cr1 relic text, there is no current debuff for firing an agun into interlock or free firing to my knowledge (i rember reading one of the devs post that about the ability somewhere)

you know ... you can beat MA with howitzer i think ... well, works for me anyway ... as long as its 1 on 1 and no one else is attacking me SMILEY

And you don't get ILed. Either way, best way to kill a MA as hacker is to debuff him with viral def and IS debuffs (like destroy resolve, etc.). Stuns from the Ballista tree also help alot since they can be used in IL. Conituous damage abilities (like code infection) are really neat but you need to hold out long so that the guy gets defeated. If you get stated by then, you're dead.

bottom line!

i dont wanna hear crap about the last thing that soe wanted to do iz make hacker overpowered again , itz the same thing with ma now.

they are over powered BIG TIME and more soo that hacker ever was.

the game is supposed to be balanced and it is not; soe has to fix cr2.0

the penalties in interlock need to dissappear, i should be able to hack out of interlock, in interlock, no matter who i am fighting.

if ma gets natural viral defense that is high enough to make me miss 10 times in a row when my viral accuracy is az high as it can go and i have buff clothing that increases it by another 10 percent, then i, az a hacker want natural defense against ma and gunns that prevents them from hitting me 10 times in a row too

soe; ; make it a priority to actually balance the game out, instead of appealing to the little kids who like playing tekken.

i mean jeeeez, enpough with a 2,308 power kick, my strongest virus cannot do that damage....

Actually Ballistic attacks are alot worse on a hacker, its just when you fight a MA as a hacker, your lucky to get and to actually hit them...it just depends on the MA resists clothes, and thier stats...

Are you serious?

nexus2revolution

yes i am, very serious.

the game is not balanced. gunman and martial artists are over powered when it comes to facing a hacker. either take away the viral defense that they have naturally or u give hackers bulletproof coats. omg, shall we talk about knives, jeeeez.

what is up the knives? everyone knows in r/l u dont bring a knife to a gunfight , can soe tone them down 75% it would be more realistic.

You do realize that you are playing the Matrix online...right?

On the topic, I've taken down my share of gunners/knifers/and the occasional MA playing hacker. As Bayamo pointed out, resistances help play a good factor in survivability.

I have been MA since i started this game (a year ago) and i can honestly say i have been beaten by many a hacker, yes i have had my fair share of victories over them also. by the time i actually get them into IL i have NO IS due to the Destroy resolve hence i cant do anything, Out of IL i cant do anything either ulinke all the other loads, im not moaning im telling you how it is we dont even have a root move so root us hack us and run about all you like as we cant do FA about it, MKT's do it Slow us root us then knife us before we get a chance to do anything, hackers can do it too! there is a away to beat every load.

The fact is MA is an IL tree, hacker is like a spell caster so their advatage is ranged attacks if you make hacker better in IL it soon becomes the ultimate tree. if you dont like it change to another tree thats the beauty of this game you can change all you like!

You can, with the recent accuracy increase hacker is even better in IL. In fact it's quite possible to push your accuracy higher than a gunner's. And when you have the debuffs on an MA or gunner you can maul them in IL, I've done it many a time.

There ARE natural defenses, take a look around the hacker tree and you realise there is a lot of defense to be had.

Actually they need to fix the game so it doesn't cater to every Tom, *CENSORED* and Harry who fancies themselves Richard B. Riddick

MA and Gunner is perfectly balanced.

So when I dev field multiple people for 1000-1700 each that doesn't count?
