I don't. .. like, what? I'm talking about all the ppl who are like, damn that move is sweet, too bad its gear. Like, you can still play with that move. It's not like being gear just erases it off your disc. You can cheat on sweet lady competitive mode on the weekends with a geared alt, nobody will know.
You know. You can think something about a certain mode could be cool, but still not like the mode and therefore not want to play it. Which in turn would make you go "aw man that sucks" when you see a move that only exists in a mode you have no interest in.

No one is saying "nobody is allowed to play it".

Sure, you guys go ahead, couldn't care less.

But expecting people on a site, dedicated to competitive NRS play, to be excited for gear mode with stat buffs turned on is incredibly naive.
Sorry did I mean to say "nobody is allowed to talk about it* " because anytime someone says something about looking forward to gear moves, people get triggered hard

and i dont care if you are excited for it or not lol, why would that bother me? but expecting OTHER people not to be excited for their characters moves because they are gear is ridiculous

especially when we dont even know what is gear moves here as its just the trailer


but doesnt stop ppl going into overdrive about how broke gear mode is lol

Why tf is @trufenix getting so heated? You wanna do gear? Cool! But I'll have more fun in a balanced meta. You think they will be able to balance the THOUSANDS of pieces of gear that they've bragged about? Hell no. I didn't have fun playing against prepatch Alien. I won't have fun playing against damage boosted Superman. I WILL have fun playing the game at its base level where everything is a more level playing field.

But you do you, idk why tf you care if I play gear or not. I like being able to customize my character but, to me, those Stat boosts are corny.

Have fun with gear boosts, but you won't see me using it. Why? Because I don't fucking want to. That should be enough.

I'm with you on this one. I think it's a little short-sighted to completely disregard a mode that has had so much work put into it, and honestly, adds a shit-ton more variety to the game (like Variations did to MKX), simply because it's you think it's terribly unbalanced. It may not be. Wait and see.

Dude, I've made no judgements on what people want to play. I am asking someone to provide a reason they think gear mode is so irrevocably fucked. You know, cause this is a discussion forum not just a lets say shit and walk away forum.

As of yet, I've heard two reasons. A superman super that's hardly more broken than his existing one and a bane super that turns him into inj1 launch bane who was if anybody remembers, completely useless.

If you don't actually want to discuss the mode, why are you replying to me?

arent stat boosts pretty much a universal thing across gear, the main difference being aesthetics? The only thing they'd have to do to balance it is not make any of the 5 or so gear moves ridiculously op

By all means don't play that's entirely on you, far be it from me to tell other people how a game SHOULD be played, and it would be nice if others did the same. But at the very least I will say that it's a bit premature to rule it off as ridiculously imba just yet - especially when we don't even know half of the gear moves in the game yet

Well the reason I have a problem with gear mode is that the stat increases are frankly disgusting.

Believe me, I'm all prepared to put gear mode in a corner and never touch it. My need to play dress up doesn't outweigh my need to not get pissed off every time I pick up the controller. I'm just waiting for someone to give me a reason to. I'm yet to see one. So for now, I choose to be excited that my Green Arrow will have a teleport.

I understand that. I'm asking which one. WHo, what, when. Give me any further details.
Just the stat increases in general. You spec in damage and you kill people in two hits you spec in health/defense you take forever to kill. Like someone earlier in the thread mentioned, I really don't want to fight a super girl who is doing more damage than base Atrocitus.

It's not the moves I'm talking about. The moves aren't available because gear isn't in tourney so idc about the moves in that light. But if I wanna play with those moves, I have to deal with what people have unlocked that I don't know shit about. Can I lab moves I haven't unlocked? How much damage would this combo do? How much does this defense number matter in my damage output? How much extra damage should I expect to take? What does that cape do? What about those boots, the helmet, that shirt? There are way too many variables that I could never learn about in a gear match. I do not want to deal with fighting against shit I do not know. Gear moves are cool I guess, but the other shit that comes with them...I don't wanna fuck with
