Re: Perma-Ban Paik.

@Bolvard  I agree. Pro players are just running and gunning as a squad of Paik'. I can't do a damn thing. Smokes don't help. The gun emplacement doesn't help because they can see exactly where to shoot to kill. The only thing that helps is Dozer but Dozer is most bugged specialist right now, his shield could not hurt a fly.

@tom_lookenFirst of all her flying makes noise now you you HEAR it when see lands in the Area around you.

- her grenade doesn’t fly faster than a jet, it can’t even catch up to a chopper, even Tanks at full speed almost outrun the grenade.

- Her hitbox during flying was fixed a long time ago, if you can’t hit her you aim is just bad, I have no problem shooting ducks out of the Air if I see them.

- Sundance has falldmg, if you try to land with mach 3 velocity you pretty much gonna die, I died many times becouse of that when I play her.

To the rocket part: it’s called skill.
If a Sundance can fly correctly and position herself in a good angle to take out an aircraft, it’s just simply deserved.

- You mean dozer shield has no counter ? Lol
Just sidestep 4 meters and shoot his ancle/elbow.
Dozer is the most easiest counterable specialist, he is by far the weakest.

- Yes Casper has a tugs system but there is a pretty huge difference:
It doesn’t show targets that doesn’t move and more importantly it doesn’t show you WHERE the enemy is.
You are better off hearing footsteps at this point than looking at his Tugs system.


Shall I dismantle more claims of yours ?

Specialists in Battlefield are just bad and should never return. Simple as that.

@tom_looken

Side stepping Dozer is like avoiding an angry tortoise. Its not difficult. LOL

Can we nerf the people constantly crying?

nah, we should nerf paik.

and with it punish players who rely on crutches like this… e.g you

@tom_looken

"Sundance can throw a gernade that tracks a jet or just fly faster than the jet."
No her smart grenade does not fly faster than a Jet, it doesnt even fly as fast as a Condor.

"has counter gernade for everything in the game"
No she only has 2 grenades now, a Smart grenade and a scatter. She only has 1 every 30 seconds, so the vehicle has to be very low health already to finish one off.

"broken hitboxes"
Which hitbox? Sundance is quite unresponsive and has crappy hit reg the moment she lands, so you typically have about 1-1.5 seconds to kill her before a sundance can properly lock you after landing a lot of the time. You also cant shoot in glide like you can with a parachute or when free falling to fast, so you have to pull up , dip out, shoot, then back into glide. 

"makes no noise"
She makes a noise when she lands. No parachuter makes a noise while theyre gliding.

"Has 0 fall damage can just land get a kill fly away"
She has massive fall damage if youre a few meters to high when you jump out of glide. You can only "fly away" if you're at least 3-4M up now since they made changes a few months back. Also because of her speed nerf, you cant really "fly away", more so you just slowly glide down to the ground.

"hundreds of hours of footage of users flying stopping firing a rocket taking out a aircraft then fly away."
Thats actually extremely difficult to do with Sundance, you have to pull up, switch, aim, fire, then redeploy. You cant aim a rocket while in free fall like you can with a parachute.

I thought Paik was just fine how she was originally. Most specialists have their weakness for abilities. 

Dozer is slow with his shield

Sundance is vulnerable in glide

Lis cant move while guiding her tv rocket

Rao can only walk while hes hacking

Crawford can be shot in the face or the feet with his stationary turret

Paik was fine when she had the risk of being spotted herself while spotting others. 

I'm just getting absolutely Paik spammed all the time now every since she was buffed, even before Season 2. 

So ever since S2 - I suck. I cannot hit anything. 

I respawn - dead. Esp with 128 players. I used to like Paik but now in the container everyone is using her and its just constant death. Its not normal from playing in the last few months and finishing most games in the top 5 to suddenly be in the low 30s with more deaths than anything. I doubt i suddenly suck overnight? 

The nerfing of the BSV kinda killed my game i guess. I quitted several games (hard) out of frustration. 

Not having fun anymore....

Yeah I 100% agree, she had her downside before now the maps are simply overrun with Paik's because she has no real downside anymore. .

Now the only real way to counter Paik is to play as her and hit the scan as soon as your location has been revealed and you light up all the other would be killers coming for you. (I am not recommending this as the solution)

I tried it yesterday and seriously imho something needs to be done about this asap, the new map inside the ship  is almost unplayable because of this Paik spam.

This is not how I want to play BF and I hope this can be addressed in a hotfix otherwise it could drive players away.
