    Seriously, accurancy and crits for the Sniper? No armor for the assassin?

    If you fixed the default classes, trial players would do better, which would give them more incentive to buy the game.

    Food for thought: If the default classes were good, then what's the incentive for buying custom classes? ;)

    That's no argument. Lets say there's 100.000 people playing MNC, everyone has their own preferences.

    The defaults aren't broken. If you have a diff playstyle, do custom class, that's what its there for.

    If the default classes were good, then there'd be little incentive to buy the custom ones. There'd still BE incentive, but just a little. If they make the defaults really shxtty, on the other hand... then there's A LOT of incentive.

    Now I wonder if it'd be a fun challenge to try the defaults and see how far I can get in a random game. I'm so used to my customs I've forgotten how silly the endorsements were on the defaults. But it is a good point, if the defaults were good I wouldn't be stressed that I only have 6 spaces for customs haha xD

    I say the defaults actually help you learn faster. "Change is not made without inconvenience, even from worse to better."

    I'm saying that it's pretty much impossible to do well with some of the default classes even if you are an amazing player. An assassin without armor is nothing, and we all know how nubs pick assassin first thing.

    There are all sorts of different playstyles that work with each endorsements but maybe if we put in a mainstream one that everybody agrees upon, trial nubs will do better and in turn will be more likely to buy the game.

    Whenever I play assassin, I pick default first, unless I'm in a match that already begun. the gold speed works wonders to get rid of the first waves of bots and sometimes get the first couple grapple kills before my eventual demise. Generally gets me enough money to be comfortable and productive to my objectives once I switch to my custom class.

    As for defaults, I think they are fine as they are. Early on people begin to experiment, and seeing other people play the same class on either team not only gives them insight on how to play, but also what endorsements to try with a custom class. If they were perfectly good from the get-go, they probably wouldn't feel the need to tinker.

    Well I can see the argument of making custom classes obsolete, maybe we can just improve them a little bit, but not have them be perfect.

    I did fine, despite choosing default assault.

    But I would admit that the default classes are a pain to use.

    Amen.

    but with silver RoF and bronze skill, he is actually pretty close to a standard assault build.

    I have to disagree about the default support. With no fire rate endorsment, his hurt/heal gun is nearly useless. It used to be decent, but after the first update, it's just.......so..........slow.......

    Not to mention that the default Tank is noob-friendly. He's virtually indestructible.

    With silver RoF and bronze skill, I would still say the assault is a pain to use.

    Default classes definitely doesn't help the class shine at what it does.

    Amen.

    Amen

    So basically, everybody, including the devs know the default classes are terribad and we don't want to fix just cause?

    Don't think he is saying that the classes are broken at all. Seems like he is saying that they probably cater to a different play style than you like. Custom classes are there for a reason, because they want to give you the option to play like you want.

    Hate to say it but a lot people would probably say the same thing about CoDs default classes. I hate them. But they do not suck by any means. They just do not cater to how I play.

    Guys, you are not understanding what I'm saying. I'm saying that the default classes suck and they don't even cater to the playstyle that the class was meant for. Trial players will do terrible with default classes no matter what.

    This is meant to be for TRIAL PLAYERS, not me. Didn't you read the OP? I have all the custom classes, but the default ones are just terrible and need fixing.
