So I know the mass driver is fun and a great weapon that easy to usebut, ccp has been know to nurf ( so called balance) because I've over use. IV been murdered by it for a solid week now and I fore see this happening to the mass driver just like the flaylock, Just because over use . Given its a primary weapon I still see this happening. The tacAR was nurfed hard so don't think that it will never happen. The FOTM'S NEES TO STOP or risk a possible nurf.
I wanna hear some feedback so lets talk.

You do realize that mass drivers only account for about a tenth of the kills? ARs are typically about 90% of a match's kills. Warning to AR users, ARs are on the chopping block due to over use.

since the flaylock nerf I have seen a massive increase of Mass driver use particularily the scrubs that camp CRU and as sson as you move from spawn BOOM

Seriously, you need a mass driver to killme fine,but to camp a spawn point to do so, LAME

Nerfs and buffs don't happen because of threads based on feels. Whenever they change a weapon, the explanation is accompanied with graphs and data that state why it should be changed.

If there's a spike in Mass Driver effectiveness, then yes, it'll get nerfed.

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.

No, BC by that logic the duvolle needs a mega-nerf BC I get killed by that more than anything else.

Pff, so why haven't the assault rifle been nerfed? Why haven't they fixed the scouts or the shotgun? Again don't talk with out knowing. Just because they show you a pretty little chart doesn't mean they use that mainly. All they look for is "performance" as in kills. Um the assault rifle kills more than any other weapon in the game yet they see a "spike" in kills. Bullshyt. That's like saying they will nerf the nova knife once people start using it more. Bullshyt, people spent time to spec into this and that and they want to nerf it because a lot of players started using it? Um last time I checked almost everyone and their mom use assault rifles nerf nao please. They can't nerf just because it's being used more. That's a bullshyt excuse

The MD becomes OP when you cannot effectively assault the user because he is in a difficult to reach, elevated area. People don't complain about elevated AR users because you can use cover. The MD splash radius reduces your ability to take cover to near zero.

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 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

same here, i didnt request respec to tac at the first of uprising i stuck with the broken MD, now the splash rad is just ez mode/retrrded, but we know that CCP won't fine tune the splash they'll take their normal dumbass approach and resmash the wep back down to nothing. just get the dam nerf over with already so we can go back to being oddities instead this FOTM sht

he got killed with madd driver all week- that's some hard numbers and solid data right there, CCP will surely take note

Yes, 100% of the time, some one was killed by a weapon that was broken for ages, has travel time, and gets out DPS by a lot of weapons, for a straight week.

In all seriousness I was using the Mass Driver since mid-Codex. If because an increase in people using the weapon causes it to get nerfed, then that is wrongful nerf. The Flaylock was OP, because as a sidearm it could kill in two shots not particularly aimed well. My mass driver takes 3 shots for a lot of these health stackers and it's a Light Weapon.

I can't just drop this weapon to save it, I have been using it for ages through thick and thin. Right now, I can honestly say that it's getting to a good spot. Not OP, not UP, almost just right. What calls for a Nerf is when the weapon at hand can beat all others hands down. The mass Driver is far from that. Go out to 30-40 meters and you can see exactly where it is going and avoid it. I can't magically slow down time and see where AR fire is going.

But words for words, the Mass Driver has AOE, which makes people angry and does in fact cut down on aiming skill (but it still has travel time).

Ya'll realize that:

This particular cycle of FOTM happens to be on MD and FG?

Before this it was Flocks

Before that it was ...

And way back missiles were op

Its a cycle of laughs... The community sees an increase in a particular kill...maybe due to map type, play style, etc and it becomes too much. Begs nerd, gets nerd.

Next FOTM

over and over.

I've been in MD and FG for a while, mostly as a way for area defense (MD) or to solve mario cart 514 (FG).

This is part of the Darwinistic lifecycle of the Dust/eve universe. If ccp wants to relax a little. work on cor content, stop wasting time and energy on this c***. If you don't like FG<---SNIPE, if you don't like MD<----get to higher ground, get cover.

D**, play smart, squad up, get a mic and don't blast your music while playing. maybe people would want to play with you (instead you are on mute and wonder why no one talks)
