Star Citizen FPS FALL FEEDBACK! A reflection on the FPS TTK changes made by CIG back in 3.22: A lot of weapon archetypes end up overlapping and lack congruence with each other, causing imbalance with ammo counts (and more) because of how long it takes to eliminate a player. Unfortunately, this is considered a "line in the sand" topic for CIG and they refuse to budge. This is bad for two reasons: in regards to feedback, all feedback is restrained to criticism that cannot cite the high TTK as the root cause despite it being the root cause. Thus, all solutions presented as feedback are "band aids" and the real issue is never addressed or solved. In regards to gameplay, large groups already have so many advantages over small groups. With the longer TTK, it becomes too easy for large unskilled groups to defeat even slightly smaller skilled groups. Currently, the only thing allowing a player to 1vX is a magic medpen that gives you 100 health instantly. Without this, players will be injured far more often in firefights to the point where it's near impossible to 1v2 - something considered entirely unenjoyable for the far majority of fps players. And in a game where we have 1-shot A2/A1 Bombs on players, insta kill from moving vehicles on players, ship weapons instakill players and very fast flight combat TTK - the argument for a long FPS TTK makes little to no sense. It does not match up with the rest of the game at all. This "stuck between a rock and a hard place" situation is entirely CIGs fault. Their inability to budge on what is objectively an arbitrary and broken time to kill value is extremely concerning considering the complexity of weapons we were previewed at CitCon - five full tiers with multiple attachments to balance. If the game is this difficult to balance for CIG now, what hope do we have for the future? For those wondering about my credibility: the organization I'm a part of in SC has one of the top FPS divisions and is active in the PU. Many others who are active in #StarCitizen FPS feel the same way. Personally, I will continue to be honest with CIG about this poor high TTK until they reconsider it. There is no real feedback if we cannot talk about the elephant in the room. @RobertsSpaceInd
