If suits were removed, the same problem would still be ongoing on the server, the only difference is now people would only use nitros / m202's in combat, as they would basically 1 shot everyone as well. Imo, if suits were removed, there would have to be a huge nerf on explosives aswell, this goes for HC, m202's t-gun and so on. It would be 10 times easier to defend your bases if your enemies didn't have suits. Imagine elevator bases, as soon as the doors open you m202/t-gun and the raiders instantly die, they would never have a chance to retaliate whatsoever.
some suits are fine as they are TO people who have been playing zarp for a long time, as some suits can be countered by expensive explosives, such as gluon gun. The only problem is that the new players doesn't have these kind of weapons to defend themselves which renders them completely useless.
There are however some suits I do like and I dont think they should be removed, such as jugg suit, maybe it could get a little nerf, to 500 hp / 1000 armor. Whereas other suits such as Evo & Hyper just gives a completely unfair advantage over people to a point where you are not able to counterplay it. I remember playing before hyper was added, there were a lot of bases active, especially big bases such as district bases, which encouraged other players on the server to raid & base. The moment hyper suit was added to the server, that was the moment basing died. You could no longer base in enjoyable places such as big districts legit, as some goofball could have set a tp point in there and went afk until someone started basing there.
There is nothing wrong with balanced suits, it's the same as scope boost, it gives players something to grind for. But when a suit is completely broken and ruin what the game mode is about, that's when you have a problem.
I dont think it's to late to save zarp, I called this a loong time ago, in what direction zarp was going. Nerf the suits that ruin basing, and you will have people basing, simple as. I'm not writing this to be a dickhead, I obviously give a shit since I took the time to write all of this.
