In the next major patch, we will be updating the Heavy Assault weapons and Medium Buggies for the Terran Republic and Vanu Sovereignty.
TR MiniChaingun: The TR MiniChaingun received a 50% increase in bursting duration before recoil kicks in.

VS Lasher: The VS Lasher received an increased rate of fire to make it more comparable with the other Heavy Assault Weaponry.

TR Marauder and VS Thresher: Both of these vehicles were given an increase in armor points. Now the NC Enforcer, TR Marauder, and VS Thresher are equal health-wise.

VS Thresher: The VS Thresher had both its damage increased (against soldiers and vehicles), and its lifespan extended (so the projectile can travel further). This is to make it more comparable to the NC Enforcer and TR Marauder (in terms of damage potential).

Timing on these updates has yet to be determined, but we expect them to go to Test Server and then Live next week.

w00t!!! some thresher and lasher love! NOW I'M COOKING!

About time, I'd say...

That wasn't the lasher lovin' I was looking for, but oh well... I suppose it's better. I was hoping they would increase the speed of the orbs rather than just make you spit out a bunch more at a faster rate.

Ya no crap what's the clip size 10 or something. That'll be the whole reload to kill one guy routine over and over again.

The clip size is 20, which you'd think would be plenty, but I get killed quite often while reloading.

I think most of the community cried for the speed of the orbs to be increased, and not the rate of fire. Who cares if more orbs are being fired over a given period of time... someone is just to have to sidestep a few more orbs at the same speed.

I think any improvement at this rate is better than nothing. I'm not going to make any judgements until I try it.

I think in light of me getting more used to this weapon as-is right now, I won't complain much... I think I was just hoping for faster projectiles, but flinging out orbs at a higher rate may help out too w/my surge/agile ego/lasher combo.

in beta, the lasher was my favorite weapon :) i found this out when i decided to drop the lasher to try the other weapons... and i kept trying to buy my lasher loadout because i couldn't find any other loadout that would be useful haha

i found it to be a lot like the jackhammer in very close range, but with a minigun-esq effect on enemy units at a hallway's length- "HOLY SHIT RUN AWAY RUN AWAY!"

and of corase no love for our AA situation as we loose more and more to our Air getting the crap kicked out of it and theres kicking the crap out of the people on the ground.
