@IXTheCandyManXI said in Gizmo needs to be tweaked, words from a main:

@Azrael008uk even when your minigun is maxed and you have turrets on, your DPS is way lower than the rest of the damage fighters, even lower than some supports, you just can't compare Gizmo damage to Daemon damage, or Nid damage, and Gizmo has an additional disadvantage, when you attack people, they can still move, use abilities and attack, while a melee fighter keeps you form all of that by simply attacking you, and they still have higher DPS than Gizmo, that is the problem

She's like Soldier '76 with "Perma-Ult". Her damage is going to be a fine balance. Give her too much and she'll be a balance breaker.

Even in her current state I've watched her melt other players and even me with enough chaos going off all around.

The Devs have the stats and gameplay data from the Beta to work with though and they seem like they're aiming high when it comes to their standards for a Competitive Multiplayer Title.

I think whoever your "main" is we think they should do more damage.

Personally I'm not sure but I trust the Devs to do the right things with the info they've pulled.

Can't wait for March.

It's too early for a Tier List.
Interesting observations on how people faired with characters though.
The right Team will make any character you select look S++.

I didn't have much time for "Blade Dancer" because it just said "Hey, look at me, I'm Ult-ing... please shoot me".
I found Dive Bomb an incredible tool for unsuspecting attacks and finishing off characters trying to escape.

It would be cool for Gizmo players if her Mini-Gun just melted enemies as we all expected it would.
If this was a Solo Deathmatch game then she definitely is at a disadvantage but it's not.
Her damage increases as her minigun reaches full speed. That's where if you're playing as a Team Gizmo can really melt the opposition.
She also has a "Get out of jail free" card with the Jumper Bumper. Like smart Cass players, smart Gizmo players won't stick around to get smacked.
Like everyone else, Gizmo suffers the most when the Team playes poorly.

Cass is fantastic and I fell in love with playing her as the Beta went on.

I can't believe I spent half the Beta not even realising she had Charge Jump... which you can charge as she's running?!?!?!

How can you say "Powercell" is Kryptonite to a character with all that speed and maneuverability? You identify the powercells for your Team and you'll probably have gobbled them all before the enemies even show up.

Swoop does what it should very well. It's not supposed to be a homing missile but something to get you in close for some claw attacks and then back out.

Cass can be devastating but not for players trying to stand there and just swing toe to toe.

Best used when your motto is "Why don't you and him fight... so I can kill you".

Though your argument does not make sense and I initially disagreed with you after thinking about it it would be interesting to attempt different builds.

But that will come in time and let's face it, you can have a 'god-build' on your character, if your Team is full of Lone Rangers trying to nurse their K to D ratios and ignoring the objectives you're still gonna get knacked.

There will be plenty of time to experiment with builds when the game releases full time. The most interesting will not be individual builds but rather Team Builds, because what's a 'god-build' to you is again going to be trash if you can't synnergise with your Team.

All the characters have Aimbot. They all get lock ons with the left trigger.
You can see where all the characters are on the mini map so be aware when you are taking on Gizmo 1 v 1 and when you are being killed by a Gizmo laughing playfully as you get tied up by the rest of her Team.

That's great news... to a degree.
What they said is "no microtransactions now" and "no microtransactions that impact gameplay in the future".
So the door is open for a shop but if they handle it right and keep things actually earnable in the game I'm happy with that.
Thanks for sharing that.

Right now this is a brilliant game.
Will it stay the same with an expanding roster or will it become a micro-transactional mess?
It would break my heart to see this become a Pay To Win affair with people able to buy all the upgrades and MODs for their characters.
It would be crushing to see this morph into something like the "Dead Or Alive" series that has an absolutely brilliant game that has been soured by over a thousand dollars worth of cosmetic DLC.
Nobody is ever forcing you to buy a microtransaction but everyone has the desire to want to have the "whole" game and that creates a pressure that takes advantage of younger gamers and puts off veteran players.
Have the developers announced their long term vision for this game?
Plans to expand the roster?
Plans to make this the next "Fortnight" (please let this one be a "NO")?
Right now I love this game.
I'm worried the low asking price and the addition to XBox Game Pass is just setting us up for a costly pile of extras.
What have you guys heard and what do you think?

The Developers have the stats from the Beta but my first impressions are he's fine.
I regularly abuse Bastardo players as Cass and she has the lowest health pool in the game.
Unless my Team is full of Lone Rangers not playing the objectives and not sticking together. Then it doesn't matter if I'm Bastardo myself... I get smashed.
When his Team is supporting him and playing well your Team needs to be supporting each other and playing well.
Play him more and become proficient in his strengths and then when you play against him exploiting his weaknesses is much easier.
