14 DAY TRIAL // DICE, the developer of Battlefield 4, has just revealed a player survey in which fans of the game can vote on what balancing problems they consider should be fixed immediately, from attack boats, to the stealth jet, or the damage of the FGM-148.
Battlefield 4 was released last year and delivered a pretty great first-person shooter experience that, unfortunately, was plagued by plenty of glitches, issues, and other such problems.
Now, after launching a wide variety of patches and updates to solve the bugs, DICE has begun focusing on balancing problems.
While it's already identified plenty of changes that will be coming soon via an update, the studio has revealed on Battlelog a special survey in which players can vote on what balancing problems should be fixed as soon as possible.
Check out the possible choices and their reasoning below.
1.
Attack Boats air defense
Players have suggested that the Attack Boats could have superior anti-aircraft abilities. Possible suggestions include improving the Anti-Aircraft ability of the burst cannon, adding a MAA style 20MM cannon, or additional types secondary missiles with Anti-Aircraft intentions. Is the air defense ability of the attack boat considered a problem?
2.
FGM-148 damage increase against tanks
The FGM-148 seems to be considered the weakest of the Anti-Tank missiles for Engineer. We have considered increasing the damage it does from 25% to 34% against tanks.
3.
Stealth jet cannon tweaks
After the most recent update players are reporting the Stealth Jet 20mm cannons are now slightly over powered. Is this a universal feeling? There has also been concern about the 25mm and 30mm not receiving any changes. Are changes here desirable?
4.
Fast attack craft cannon tweaks
We are considering some minor changes to Fast Attack Craft cannons: Reducing the splash damage area against infantry, requiring the player to hit closer to targets to get quick kills. And increasing the speed and the direct damage of the Burst cannon to aid hitting aircraft. No changes are being considered for the 30mm cannon.
5.
MBT and IFV canister shell buff
Canister Shells on MBT and IFV seem less popular than BF3, and could possibly use a buff. For the MBT Canister round, an increase in accuracy and damage, while for the IFV a slight increase in damage are both being considered. Finally, an increase in the projectile speed to enable them to more easily hit moving targets.
DICE will eventually address all these balancing problems, but it wants help with setting priority targets.
