FUNCOM Please Read this, And Maybe Do Something About It !!!

To start, I've played almost every profession for a little bit, except for a small few. Some professions I enjoy more than others, but all is good. My comments here are from my Soldier who is lvl 34 now.

I've been asking everyone I see to Match, just so i can see how bad the Soldier sucks now after 13.0 "PvP" patch (I've fought a lot of matches so far, I'll never ever have any kind of title now, I've lost nearly all matches.... 20-30+ who knows). So... it looks like this.

LOSES:

Agent - Aimed Shot, Crit every 2 shots, Massive Gripo/Stigma twink
Enforcer - Massive Hammer/Beam twink, Massive HP Buff
Martial Artist - Heals, decent damage, brawl, Bird of Prey, Dimach
Doctor - Heals (fought a hammer doc and a shotty doc... lost to both)
Trader - Insane Shotty twink, It's absolutely mind boggling. Heath Funnels
MP - Heal Pet (you will never get this guy below 50% health for more than two seconds before the pet heals him back to 100%) Attack Pet that does Full Damage while your boney arse is doing 50%... add to that that some Metas carry twinked Hammers or Shottys
Engineer - Again, Pet does full damage while your still doing 50% (This guy was duel weilding pistols and had red Bot, it was actually one of my more closer fights... but still lost).
Adventurer - Heals and duel weilding 2HE Weopons (got whupped by a duel weilding Pistol Advent too, doesn't matter what they have even if it does minimum damage to you...... they still heal)

WINS:

NT - The poor guy was 4 levels higher than me. God bless the hearts of every NT on Rubi-Ka. NTs also have no heals and even though they hit hard, it takes them 3-10 seconds to off load one of their Nukes... not taking Nano Init or Recharage times into account. After my alpha strike I was surprised that i had actually gotten someone to less that 40% of their HP... I was definately going to win, maybe he could have used an aid, but not heal.... So I stopped and told him to stop, it was so one sided... i definately would have felt bad, but he didn't stop his nuke in time and when it hit me I went into Auto attack and killed him with on shot that happened to crit. Just let me add here that this was in MMD and I confronted him in Suppression Field and asked him for a friendly duel... I even went in first so he would get first jump.

Thats it, if your waiting to see more wins.... don't. As far as any NT reading this - We should all get together and start a Gimped Arse Club. We could make a guild and call it G.A.G. (Gimped Arse Guild)

YET TO BE SEEN:

Can't comment on these professions, I've almost never seen them in PvP arenas or Political Zones at all:

Some might read this and say: "Well maybe you should think about developing your character." Maybe !

I'm lvl 34 and have had a Full Set of QL 51 Implants for Soldier since lvl 23. I currently switch weopons in PvP: QL 47 Supernova for aimed shot opener, QL 48 Flashpoint for Full Auto Big Bang, QL 50 Nova Flow for Burst, Fling and rest of duel. Or I buff myself into a QL 63 Nova and stay with that..... depends. My point is that I am a lot of things.... but I am not an underdeveloped soldier.

Before patch, any other profession would have went down hard somewhere in between Full Auto and Burst. I'll be the first to admit that this wasn't right.

But the usless piece of dead meat the Soldier has become after the 13.0 "PvP" Patch is not right either. Soldiers are supposed to be Warriors, the big damage dealers. We have not heals, no major buffs, nothing that makes us viable. All we had was PvP and our Alpha Stike. Now we are ineffective at best, This is not a fix. What would a conflict be without soldiers??? What is the point of this game, the whole storeline of confict and eventually war.... BUT WAIT...... All the Soldiers are Gimped !!!

ATTENTION *****
I Propose to ALL Soldiers of Rubi-Ka, regardless of loyalites to any guild/faction/omni-tek/clan/neutral... Doesn't matter.... ALL Soldiers!!! Let us lay down our weopons, Let us protest, Let our voices be heard. I Propose that we all refuse to play the soldier class which is the base of this conflict storyline until something is done. Let us play our Alternate characters, make new ones... Metas/Enforcers/MAs whatever.

Worst Case Senario: The Soldier Class Dies Out and Becomes Extinct.... What are you going to do with your Conflict Storyline now FUNCOM.

Best Case Senario: Something is done, Problems are fixed and this class becomes playable and a viable option.

FELLOW SOLDIERS LET US STAND TOGETHER !!!!!

I'm going to copy this file to a txt form so I can repost it every few days until I get some kind of official feedback from FUNCOM.

I'm not saying Soldiers should be the most powerful profession in-game. But we should be a formidable warrior. When you see a Soldier in a political zone it should make you think twice about confrontation..... not think "easy kill"

FUNCOM, Please Reply !!!

Twinkage at level 30-40 is massive, that is your problem. Try getting about 30 levels and then the play field evens out a bunch.

You think thats bad wait till you get lv 75 and you get killed by lv 150+. After your lv 75 the lv limits no longer are in effect so lv 200 could attack you so if you cannot stand chance now you sure will not later on..

You forgot something, Enforcer...We are in the same hole as you.
Same dmg, almost same hp.
We should be feared too, guardians, protectors.

OMG...enforcers with hammer/beam ARE feared. They OOOOOWN MA's with their little AC absorbed pecks for 60 damage while hitting them back for 1000. hehe. I don't even bother PvP'ing because 1) difficult to find any 2) difficult to find any, and most importantly 3) it's really hard to find any.

I do indeed fear the beam, it's the most fiercesome weapon out there. Why? Duck-exp based. It's the only non-shotgun weapon (excluding grenades) that uses Duck-exp. add to that it's high max damage, high critical damage, and you have lvl 100 enforcers hitting creatures for 1900-3000+ damage. =)

I admire enforcers, and I don't think that should be nerfed in any way, but those who usually win pvp are those who build a character for pvp.

Lowburn.....

Just for your own info, the Flamethrower also checks "Duck Explosions".

My lvl 34 Soldier is packing a QL 80 Flamethrower which is 100% Assault Rifle, Does Fire Type Damage, and checks the Duck skill for Defence.

Before that I had a QL 47 Supernova for Aimed Shot QL 48 Flashpoint for Full Auto and a QL 50 NovaFlow for Burst Fling and regular shots.... if I told you I won 2 out of 30+ matches with the "switched weopons" strategy, would not be a exageration. After the 13.0 Patch the Soldier's Alpha strike was effectively nerfed, after the initial strike I would us my QL 50 Nova and be lucky if I ever hit for more than near minimum damage.

I knew I needed something that was constant damage, not just a quick burst of damage, especcially against any healing type class. Someone, can't remember the name, turned me on to the Flamethrower.

Now even though I have no specials, I still crit every other shot about 150-200+ in PvP and usually hit for 50-100 regular shots, I've been undefeated in 3 fights so far..... nothing definative, there are still a lot of in-field tests to do, but it is a definte improvment !!!

My brother is a 53 MA and took out two 48's.
One with a beam and the other with a Hammer.
I got a pic somewhere.

Must have been the messed of pvp sys:)

Cloudeh,

your right... the fact is that any non-healer in PvP enters the match Gimped.

I don't care what anyone says, you start of at a disadvantage right from the get-go.
