What defines Warzone?
Re: What defines Warzone?
Not really, i died quite a few times by using lasers against assault gun mantis. Lasers are certainly not OP. Also, there are tons of advanced weapons at this phase that tend to decrease the value of anything direct-fire (for example, rail guns are extremely powerful with their penetrating ability, but completely useless anyway)

Re: What defines Warzone?
Pulse lasers are nice against project bodies, especially those behind in thermal armor research. Other than that they're not an end-game weapon in any competitive match I've seen.Chojun wrote:It's game-over as soon as pulse lasers are researched and deployed.effigy wrote:Where have you found imbalance with lasers?zydonk wrote:...
Except for perhaps rebalancing some heavy weapons, eg laser, and trucks not being totally stupid muppets, WZ is probably as good as it gets. The proof is in the playing.

Re: What defines Warzone?
I was thinking of the heavy laser. It seems to me that the Pumpkin team had not got around to balancing it. Its short range makes no sense as almost every other heavy weapon outranges it with ease.effigy wrote:Pulse lasers are nice against project bodies, especially those behind in thermal armor research.

Re: What defines Warzone?
Oh, hmm... so, you're thinking of the 1.10 balance? Currently, the heavy laser has the longest range of any direct fire weapon (according to the guide: http://guide.wz2100.net/w/#laser). However, I'll admit, I've never used heavy laser much because of it's weight.zydonk wrote:...

Aren't lasers AP weapons and not AT or AR?effigy wrote:Pulse lasers are nice against project bodies, especially those behind in thermal armor research. Other than that they're not an end-game weapon in any competitive match I've seen.
Edit: According to the guide their best targets are heavy cyborgs
In general, if you see glowing, pulsating things in the game, you should click on them.

Re: What defines Warzone?
They have a bonus against cyborgs due to them being AP, but they also deal thermal damage as opposed to kinetic damage. The project's bodies have terrible thermal armour in comparison to others, so lasers are fairly effective against them.milo christiansen wrote:Aren't lasers AP weapons and not AT or AR?effigy wrote:Pulse lasers are nice against project bodies, especially those behind in thermal armor research.

Also, project bodies are a bit slow and thus easy to outrange.
