I think we have a problem. We have a divide between those of us who do, and do not have a team that they play with in this game. The problem with this is that we can't come to a conclusion as to what needs to be balanced. The gameplay between both ways of playing are so different that it's hard to discuss without opinions clashing, where both sides' reasons are justified. So, how do we go about fixing this? Maybe we should ignore it? Perhaps Uber should come up with a way to split the game up? Or maybe Uber should choose one group over the other? It might seem like I'm exaggerating this some, but I'm almost positive that if something isn't done about this, our community will break in two.
This might be a bit off topic but oh well. Over the weekend I was trying to get to lvl 99 and with that I, kind of, had to use other classes. I played each class at least 7-8 matches throughout the weekend and came to the conclusion that each class is perfectly balanced. Some things that I assumed to be true were put to rest over the weekend. Don't want to get into detail what but from a Solo, non-party/team, perspective I think MNC is balanced just right. So, imo, as far as balance issues go there isn't anything to fix/change. The main problem are a few bugs here and there. Do we really want them to try and re-balance the game or use that time to develop some DLC? Two sayings apply here: "Beggars can't be choosers." "You can please some of the people some of the time but you can please all the people all of the time."
I'm not really talking about the classes; they're balanced just fine. I'm talking about techniques only possible with a coordinated team that change the effectiveness of some aspects of the game. You've seen in other threads that people express their opinions based on their experience in the game. The way players play has a direct effect on their opinions of balance within the game. We'll never reach a fair conclusion because of this. If Uber feels that the game does not need any balancing, or thinks that a split within the community is not a bad thing, then I'll back off on the idea. It's their choice of course. The main problem though is the glitches. That needs to be fixed first really.
