Did you seriously say pistols are better than assault rifles in certain combat? Do i even need to adress this? Assault rifles fire bigger bullets and faster, bigger magazine, better grip and accuracy and better range. Pistols dont need a “buff”, pistols are pistols. And literally anything is good if you “sneak up on him”. I can sneak up to someone with an assault rifle and still kill him… or a shotgun, lmg etc.
Same thing. Things you find makes you stronger. The luck arguement doesnt work. Some finds an assault rifle other person finds a baseball bat. Its the way the game works. There is equipment that makes you objectively stronger and thats how this game works. You cant magically make a baseball bat equal to an assault rifle. Assault rifle always wins.
There are better guns and worse guns. How is that hard to understand? There are civilian tier rifles that fire slowly or not even fully automatic, and military rifles that fire fully automatic, bigger bullets, better range etc.
So yes, you will look at that military rifle and think “This gun is probably better then the one i found in some broken trailer park”
But i thought you just said all weapons should be balanced, and no weapon should be better or worse then the other? What does “good gun” then mean? And now you say luck is fun but just before you said about how slightly reducing your recoil is luck based and bad?
When did we ever say its full of stuff? A backpack is a backpack. No reason to slow you down for taking it. They arent clunky. And they arent “massive” they are just a bit bigger.
Why in the world would you ever put metal plates around yourself? Its not only wierd its stupid and impractical. How would surrounding yourself in metal plates ever help you? I hope you realise that you can shoot and kill people, doesnt matter if they wear some idiotic metal plates around themselves.
You cant be unstoppable, and you can only be best at everything if you have the skills to do so. Yes, its balanced, he just spawned in and the other guy is geared up. I think you are joking by this point saying players who just joined should he equal to those who have been gearing up for a long time. You can take on a “guy like that”, but its not likely you will succeed.
You are saying that the game isnt balanced and dumb because you cant kill geared up players, who played for a long time, just as soon as you join?
I really hope you arent serious. Or you dont understand what balance and progress is.
You just said new players arent equal to geared up players and that thats dumb…
People have disadvantiges and advantiges already. Your worse better etc thing is called “progress”.
Look it up, people tend to like it when it comes to open world games.
You are “giving opportunity” by forcing everything to be equal. The player already has an opportunity and he can take it. If someone has a gun good luck “smashing him on the head with a bat” you sure can try. It is possible, thats just a fact. You are just trying to make a baseball bat magically be equal to a firearm. Guns are the best.
I dont think you understand what balancing is. This isnt some MOBA game or PVP game where every character must be powerful on a similar level. This is a survival game.
