Nice! And Hate you have been quite responsive and active during the PTE testing, much respect! This is the way to go.

Back to Closed Beta xD

[RGeneral24]

next PTE test this weekend then?

or soon™?

what about attack chopper's IFF detecting infantry ?

p.s.
I still think it would be better if boosters ( = advanced, enhanced gear) would slighty increase "power" by 20-40 in range and-or damage, and not just increase the amount (number) of carried gear because we could have grenade-claymore spam again.

It would be nice if non-boosted G and C are buffed to pre-T3 stats. Then people using boosters for them wouldn't be called pay2winners or noobs etc.

Nice. I will now have to put 4 points more on the gadget/equipments expertise.

Will be fun to get claymore kills. I can count those on my fingers atm.

I'd be happy with it staying as it is, if they buffed it again even slightly then i am sure some one some where will learn on how to abuse it.

and yes finally for teh boosted nade, i hope its nerfed as bad as the mortar booster, serves people right for abusing it.

So please try out (mostly) exploding stuff with and without boosters.

Thanks!

Based on what i've seen so far, that grenade needs to be nerfed a little because its radius is far to high and its causing complaints from much of the community.

The mortar strike was a nerfed a little too much and needs a slight buff on the normal and boosted. Not too much so its back to its OP'd stage again. That was very stupid. Its normal use should have some splash damage and maybe one or two more mortars that fall. Also, The boosted should be buffed, but only to the point where the splash damage is increased only about 10-15 more damage.

The Airburst grenade launcher is very OP when boosted, but without the boost, a direct hit is the only thing that will get you any damage. Increase the damage slightly, and nerf the boost.

The RPG, depending on realism of EA, they should make splash damage, because lets face it, if you shot a RPG next to a person, you should expect some damage. Not too much just some. The boosted should not affect use on the ground on troops, but increase damage on vehicles.

I have a PTE account and this is my opinion of the next step, I have tried every single one of these and these are my conclusions

Okey it`s working now. I`m currently downloading it

[ay.j.eng]

Hmm, some new fancy stuff in client..



Appears everytime you switch to a soldier or open it fresh...


All my boosters!!!!

[TacticalS]

Do those booster have a new description (e.g. they add extra grenades) or still the old ones (do more damage/splash)?
