Honestly? Your excuse is 'gameplay/ballance issue' ? I call bullshit.
Well that's rude, but I agree. Keep in mind, that all aliens in love with meta alium targeting medics, engineers, and specs.

Pretty sure you could refrain from ignoring my PM before calling stupidity over me. Internet prevents no one from being at least civilized and educated.

Especially when you admins shift your decisive arguments randomly. (You know, medium RP bullshit over ballance then the opposite.)

EDIT: Check the definition of ballance. Cause that obviously don't ryhm with giving a team more pros than the other.

Educate and civilize yourself before posting about balance, role-play and spelling "balance" incorrectly.

Far easier to take your complaints and opinion seriously when you do your own research.

You better be fluent in two languages at least to allow yourself upholding that tone while being needlessly harsh.

And my point isn't only about xeno being op, do an effort and read it again, focus.

1. You need to calm dem titties and unjustle yer jimmies.

2. We balance the way we do for REASONS.

Since you most likely don't know anything about game design and I'm not going to explain the reasons to yet another salty person on the forums, I'll just show you this:

A standard can't use the spec shit cause it wouldn't be balanced for GAMEPLAY

It makes perfect sense. I've gone through boot camp, been a line medic for a while. Been around grunts and artillery guys for years.

I wouldn't know how to use their weaponry effectively, even though I'm sure I could get the weapon to fire. Practice makes perfect and I don't practice with their weaponry, nor do I expect they'd be able to clamp an artery on a wounded Soldier.

Dem tities are angry for a reason, I'd like Feweh to at least spare half a minute of his time to answer a PM. He won't die of it. And also, you guys keep changing what's the decisive point justifying an update, as in, doing updates for balance reasons yet ignoring the 'medium RP'. Then denying a suggestion because of 'medium RP'.

Also don't take me wrong, I am fully accepting and acknowledging the ID lock on spec weapons, just saying regarding RP, it's irrevelant.

I'll check your link though Apop. Thanks.

EDIT: I hope you're not -attempting- to do cyclical unbalance or whatever it is spelt.

See I'd love to discuss that topic but I'd rather bet a hand you won't grant me such a privilege.

As a medic I can see you not knowing how to use such weapons, but don't they train for multiple weapon systems in INFANTRY school? Just me speculating.
