I wanna hear some feedback so lets talk.
I've been using the MD for 9 months. It's as effective as it's ever been right now.
Fixing the hit detection issues was huge for the MD. I think they could take a look at the splash radius personally. I've mentioned that to fellow MD users and they get pretty pissed, but I'd rather look at it honestly than see CCP come in with a nerf hammer on steroids.
All that being said, before anyone QQ's about the MD try using it for a bit.
There are guys that are using the flaylock to take down shields and follow up with the MD, but for the most part people are locked into Flux grenades, the MD, and a nanohive in their equipment slot. This of course being assault guys.
For a logi (outside of the Amarr) you are stuck with the MD and it's limited ammo, the Flux, and nanohives have to be a huge part of the equipment you carry.
I think the MD should be called the temporary flavor of the month, not because of a nerf causing people to seek out a new weapon but the limitations of the weapon being too much for many to use long term. |

I wanna hear some feedback so lets talk. Once MD are used by a mass amount of players you'll see more " MD need a nerf" I think the blast needs to chill out about 1.5m ETA until nerf 1 and a half months once everyone goes into it and pub matchs are flooded with MD. This will be a nightmare for ARMOR based players. I am an armor tanking masshole. Rival MD users are not my biggest threat. Often, when I find myself dueling with another MD, we either drive each other away, distract until help arrives, or I get the kill alone. When I die to a rival MD, it's almost exclusively because I was not paying attention or found myself in a 2+ vs 1. Currently, I die mostly to surprise HMGs, sniping forges, trying to flux/MD llav, and superior gunplay from any AR/ScR/SMG. Oh, and also trying to be Rambo and charging into CQC with large squads, lol! Often leads to my suicide too! :) My fit is as follows; Gal. Adv. Assault Enhanced shield extender Enhanced light weapon damage Enhanced plate Enhanced Ferro plate Enhanced Rep Flux Hive EXO-5 Toxin SMG

Unlike the **** you use, mass drivers actually take skill. I'm glad to see they're actually being used again- AR dominance is incredibly annoying.
I miss chromosome. The only balance issue was a broken stat; until AR scrubs complained and got an entire class of weapons nerfed. I knew you would go after mass drivers next.
MDs and forge guns are the only non-ARs left that work the way they should. You get credit for making me laugh when you said MD takes skill. Congrats on that. Use it. It fires on an arc and has a travel time, unlike your instant-hit easymode ARs. You can also kill yourself really easily in CQC, are tied to nanohives/supply depots, and you need to be extremely good with it to kill anyone above you. I did use it....and I laughed at the sheer carnage that 1 skill point into the MDs can do. Proto suits? There a joke when using the MD. Doesnt matter which protosuit....the only protosuit that survives more than 3 shots is the caldari.....and that takes 4. Its laughably easy to target. I consistently hit targets that a pretty far away....but then again as a nade master this is the same thing just easy moded. The 4 meter radius means I always hit the enemy unless there is some weird dip in the terrain that somehow blocks the shot....but even that is a rarity. Shooting people who are above you is a little more difficult and takes a little more skill but by and large its not as difficult as MD users note here. I wrote a long piece on the MD after using just the standard one and how much of a joke it is that people act like its hard to use. Dude if this is hard for dust players to use then the skill lvl of dust players is even lower than I thought.....and I thought the general skill level was low to begin with. To see my full statement regarding the mass driver https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1142616#post1142616BTW you people keep claiming I use ARs. Hate to burst your bubble but no matter how often you say it this does not make it correct. I use the ASCR......get used to it.
So you went God mode with the basic MD and decided against using it? You thought you'd be frowned upon by your peers?
We've had our share of OP weapons and in every case they've been flocked to in mass numbers. Yet MD users are still quite rare until recently.
It's not hard to use. It's just different. And it's the only weapon that you have to use a grenade with to be successful.
If you are claiming to take out a proto suit with only a standard MD without fluxing first then you are lying. It didn't happen. At least to a player that actually had a controller in their hand attempting to fight or seeking cover.

^ I can't get over this dude saying he ran around with a basic MD with no skills in MD and was 3 or 4 shoting proto suits with no flux.
I'll throw down 5 million ISK to see it happen. |

I'll throw down 5 million ISK to see it happen. Maybe a gal proto?
Maybe if he's rockin the no movement penalty plates. But I'm not even sure then. The first one won't take down the crappiest of shields unless they are in a frontline suit with zero shield upgrade skill.
But maybe the dude is just rolling around getting head shots with the MD.
If true maybe he needs to be relegated to Plasma Cannon only just to make fair for all of us scrubs. |
