Also that all the binds the person made are now gone. Thanks guys, appreciate it.

Both Poison Aura and Neutralize Wave had purposes: -Both are useful for healing and protection debuffs. -Neutralize Wave was used for its removal of buff effects (Bionics, Shields, etc.) -Poison Aura was a good way to force a cleanse from medics or else suffer a fair amount of AoE Damage Now Neutralize wave is just superior to Poison Aura because it has all functions Poison Aura has without any loss of previous ability (the instant damage per buff is gone though). The original effect was fine, the new version makes Poison Aura outdated. I usually just troll or yell at bad ideas but this is just a mistake Hi Rez made. There is no reason to have done this. I genuinely am concerned with this change.

If it does then it shouldn't, and it would till be fairly balanced. Are you sure it does? _________________

I having that bug on my home Windows XP machine. This bug is sound related when I start mission I hearing in my audio cracking. In pre 1.36 it was game crash (client not respoding from windows manager) and I did must kill the client. 1.36 it was at least fixed I still get cracking noise but then some clear ding and my client continued to play. Last patch bring same problem to my Windows 7 machine but unfortunately game clinet loose audio at all. I can hear VOIP but not game sounds and my FPS drops to slideshow from 80 FPS to 10-15 FPS. Only killing GA client does fix that problem. I never had any kind of problems on Windows 7 64 bit machine before.

Maybe you f*** idiots should state that you are deleing our config and resetting it to default before someone joins a f*** merc and can't shoot because his FPS is in the single digits, goes to spawn to fix it, gets kicked and put on deserter for 15 minutes.

Previous Neutralize Wave:
1. Removes all buff effects
2. Deals damage ~200 for each buff removed
3. Gives Healing and Protection Debuffs

Patched Neutralize Wave:
1. Removes all buff effects
2. Causes a DoT of ~1327 over 7 seconds
3. Gives Healing and Protection Debuffs

Current Poison Aura:
1. Causes a DoT of ~1327 over 7 seconds
2. Gives Healing and Protection Debuffs

The new neutralize wave is identical to poison aura BUT it ALSO has its original function of removing buffs. This is imbalanced. Neutralize wave is now simply a superior version of Poison Aura. Why was this change implemented? It makes no sense.

Both Poison Aura and Neutralize Wave had purposes:
-Both are useful for healing and protection debuffs.
-Neutralize Wave was used for its removal of buff effects (Bionics, Shields, etc.)
-Poison Aura was a good way to force a cleanse from medics or else suffer a fair amount of AoE Damage

Now Neutralize wave is just superior to Poison Aura because it has all functions Poison Aura has without any loss of previous ability (the instant damage per buff is gone though).

The original effect was fine, the new version makes Poison Aura outdated.
