Next Patch?

posted on March 19th, 2010, 6:05 pm

Hi everyone. I was wondering when the next patch is due, and, what changes to the Feds it will have. The reason is, I'm sick to death with Fed auto-win. Just now I had a game with RedEyedRaven (or RedEyedRisner as I call him), and he was Risner, I was Mayson. He crushed me. I did all the right things I'm sure. And even when I am not Feds, against Feds, no hope. With 10 ships it took me about 10-20 sec to destroy one Intrepid. Feds are insane powerful. What is going to happen to them in the next patch? I'm just sick to death with having my backside royally handed to me everytime I play against them.

Thanks.

what have lemmings got to do with the next patch

he was Risner, I was Mayson. He crushed me. I did all the right things I'm sure.

sorry to sound insulting but it has been proven that mayson beats risner easily, he's the strongest in the game atm. risner is second strongest, so other races have no chance against fed. dom and boggz did a demonstration and recorded it and put it on youtube where dom played risner and spammed intrepids and boggz didnt even try hard, he just spammed norways then warpins then EIIs and victory was his easy. watch that video to see how to rush a risner player as mayson.

Yes, I am talking with RERisner

All I really had to do was kill his miners, The reason why I did not is becasue they get way too close to his StarBase (which had weapons fully upgraded). So meh.

  There are ways of killing miners without coming in range of a starbase .  Either that or you rush in with Mayson Intrepids or Norways using Assault Mode and the Starbase will barely hurt you.

  Trust me.  Mayson should have no trouble with ANY race at the moment.

Yeah. Mayson can take out Helev and Mijural in the first Warp-In in fact   :whistling:. Unless a Klingon player holds off for 10-12 minutes without attacking or stopping expansions, a Dominion player is dead. Martok can beat Risner's forces once ha has shield breaking torpedo - before then it's a question of which can take out mining first. TaQ'roja is no huge question versus Risner: her Kvorts are deadlier than the Intrepids (and much more deadly than the Monsoons). Mayson with only a few Norways renders even the Kvort spam impotent. Opti Borg relies on how carefully you conserve forces and if you can make it to Adapters (and more effectively, Spheres), and thus ends up around with Martok/Risner. And that's the way things are 

Oh: and Feds get a lot of really awesome changes, and the next patch is just around the bend

boggz is right, u should rush out SFC and you will have your second warp in shortly after he gets his first, plus you will have the very worthy norway to spam before warp ins. then tech up to EIIs, they are slow, but still nice ships, the slow speed wont matter as by then you will have all his combat ships at his main base trying to repel you and wont need to chase them, if they run you just nuke his base

mayson kicks bottom easily now.

in summary:

Mayson gunning  :guns:  :2guns:

everybody else running   :-[ 

but not fast enough  :wheelchair:

mayson does this  :hungry: (santa is badass)

everyone else does this:  

EDIT: dom is right too, just right faster than me

Lol. Ok. I try Mayson next time. And btw Dominus, you mean feds are going to get more powerful with the next patch? xD

  No, Feds will not be getting more powerful.  They will just be changing to play a bit differently.  That is the "Fed Redo" that Optec has been talking about.  I am excited for it .

  And don't play Mayson in Multiplayer, Nuke.  Or we will ALL hate you .

The changes should make Mayson much more balanced, and in general, the Federation changes will help bring the faction closer to the movie/series. Lots of tradeoffs and flexible abilities are coming soon . This is just the beginning of their redo though - bear that in mind 

Oh, and if Optec is reading - coffee machines in Starfleet Science too

Lol. BTW Boggz, I will try Mayson, I'm not the best player anyways, so I could use the extra OP power

you wont enjoy playing mayson much, its way too easy cos of his power, and if you avoid all the stuff that makes him powerful you're likely to overcompensate.
