Perma-Ban Paik.
Like seriously. She just ruins the experience and adds to the cluster.

I find it very hard to believe that after a whole month that you don't have enough data to make a decision
I know people who literally stopped playing the game because all the infantry focused sections of maps are just a wall hack fest
You need to be more firm with the nerfs, it took 2 nerfs to bring the condor/hind to a resonable level, it took 2 nerfs to bring the stealth chopper to a reasonable level, it took 2 nerfs for the BSV to finally get some amount of recoil in automatic ( while you can still spam in single fire mode as fast as you can with barely any recoil so the gun is still very much OP ) and it will take at least another month to see Paik nerfed.
While you drag your feet at bringing OP stuff into a balanced state you are bleeding players because those things are just plain unfun to go up against

On paper Paik's buff was fine since it was a duration buff from 0.5s to 0.85s for highlighting enemies.
The issue is that DICE also snuck in a range buff to her scan so that she reveals enemies at a much greater distance. This buff was not mentioned in the patch notes at all. I don't think many players had much experience with Paik so they don't know her from before the buff.
I had Paik at Tier 1 before the buff and could instantly tell she was scanning enemies well beyond her previous range. Before the buff, her scan would reveal what's inside a house, now her buff would reveal what's inside the house across the street.
Ive played Paik 10 times. T1'd her.
Im gonna be real here:
paik inside the container ship is not that much of a problem becouse the angles she can appear to you are narrowed down to a few lanes so it kinda get predictable.
but still, all my games yesterday contained of paiks, even my squad went full Paik but where pretty bad anyways.

the Result at the end of Match:


We don't ban. We would just make balance changes.
@Straatford87Then can you atleast make her reapear again on the minimal when she uses the visor ?
It’s allready bad enough that she can see you through walls, completely destroy stealthy flanks and whatnot.
Or create some sort of device that protects you from being spotted, maybe let Irish sentinel create an small emp zone that negate spotting devices.
Her ability is just not counterable, you are spotted 24/7 inside the containership.
Paik is fine as she is, yeah she may have more of an advantage on the new map but on others not so much so just leave her alone for the love of god!
Nerfing everything is just not the answer!
@emerson1975they buffed her, she didnt need buffing. she needs to just go back to normal. Her wallhack is OP as it is. Now she doesnt even show on the minimap when she activates it. Now everyone and their dog is Paik because she always knows where you are, without ever knowing where she might be. May as well just let people with 3rd party wallhack cheats play because that is basically what she is.
At least before the buff you had an idea of where she might be coming from, and with such an OP ability it was fair trade (almost). Now its just downright cheating basically, no different to an actual cheater
@Bolvard
Reverting her changes won't have an affect on the container ship. There's just too many bodies highlighted that its just complete disarry. Her being shown on the minimap or highlighted won't make a difference when there's so many bodies highlighted around her.
A stealth device is something that would counter her but that's going to chew up more resources from the developers and take time to implement. It's probably an idea that could make season 3's classes overhaul as a stealth gadget but what's going to happen it the meantime? Pure havoc.
