Did Paik really need a buff?Like did a character with freaking wall hacks really needed to be stronger?I know you really want Jimmy 11 year old on xbox to have a positive KD but this isn't the way to do it you are driving people awayPlaying breakthrough is a non-stop POSITION REVEALED spam fest now that there's no drawbacks to activating her wall hacks

Oh, wait this is 2042....I legit just ignore my deaths. Sure they're usually fairly high, but so is my score (not even counting the other PTFO and helpful things I do that aren't tracked like healing).The updated scoreboard is still lightyears better than the initial non-scoreboard, but the implementation of this fake scoreboard with arbitrary weights for only a few actions is dumb and pointless. I'm still shocked that a AAA developer of a franchise for two decades is struggling this much with basic features that took months post-launch to build.This still looks and functions like an early WIP first pass while they're still hooking the system up to track XP contributions...but it's the "final product" we're getting.What a time to be alive!

@ElliotLH IIRC they briefly talked about it in the 1.2 video, I forget the exact reasoning why but IMO given the strength of the skill there does need to be some kind of opportunity cost for it. Spotting enemies for your entire team through walls/smoke, even briefly, is crazy strong.

@ElliotLH Yeah, immediately panicking and trying to figure out where the Paik is to get out of her range. Only upside is that you're expecting an enemy around every corner, but you're still at a big disadvantage.It's hell when there are seemingly 3-4 of them around in different locations and you literally cannot get out of range of being spotted for like 5+ seconds no matter where you run : |

@edgecrusherO0 It is strong - that 'location revealed' message usually fills me with the sense of impending doom.

I played a short map game and of the 32 players, 21 were Paiks.
I would get spammed with Location Discovered like 10 times before I died

I got her to T1 so I know I won't be using her anytime soon from now on.

I started a thread a while back that stat boards ruined the game. so many people tie their self esteem to being top 10 so they can epeen. I was in a breakthrough the other day. I had 7 kills, 40 deaths. We were on the last flag and they were taking it in the first 20 seconds. I just posted really?
First response. Your last on the stat board with 40 deaths.
I had to inform him those were 40 redeployments so I could respawn with two missiles to shoot instead of waiting 20 seconds for 1. My kills were 5 vehicles destroyed.
That is pretty much what I have to do on Lis. Once my second missile is gone, I have to redploy to have a chance to destroy the vehicle. Getting T1 Lis and C5 has my K/D under .5

A scoreboard that is useful...One that your position is based on your work on the team, caps, resupply, assist, heal, revives, kills combined to your total score. IN OTHER words...your XP per round. Not some fictitious score based on arbitrary numbers for things that are half of what team play means. And IMO deaths have no place on the scoreboard.
