....The mass driver keeps its current stats but is inaccurate?
As a MD lover and proponent I fear that a nerf will be around the corner, especially since so many have jumped on the bandwagon recently, making it seem OP, even though it is working as intended it's just not an AR.
If the explosive impact is reduced it will lose it's niche, so I propose the mass driver increase blast radius slightly, but be inaccurate at mid to long range. I don't say this lightly, I've gotten some wicked kills MD sniping those foolish enough to stand still. The MD itself is fairly accurate if you know how to shoot it, but it doesn't need to be to fill it's role. It could still be used for suppression and dominating choke points and lowpoints. It would be more deadly when used in CQC with the increased radius.
I personally love my mass driver and don't want to go to the post uprising levels, but they are being used much more frequently for too many situations and it worries me.
I've always said, do what you want with the damage but the splash radius needs to remain large in order to fill its niche as a terror and area denial weapon.
I don't want any MD nerf..... but if it is inevitable, please don't make it useless. |

You know what, I'm sick and tired of everyone assuming that every weapon should be used the exact same way. This a fraking sci-fi shooter. Not every single suit and weapon needs to be about maximum EHP, and quick direct fire kills.
I wasn't going to start nagging on COD an BF people because I like those games BUT THIS ISN'T THOSE GAMES AND STOP TRYING TO TURN IT INTO THEM!! The MD is not a noob tube, you can't take down anyone without properly aiming. I see more miltia and exile AR kills than MD kills in every match.
"nerf the blast radius"
Yeah so my little explosion turns into a glorified AR round, that will make me..... diverse?
"Too many rounds per clip"
6 shots a clip with a total of 18 and a slow reload, unless you're a logi packing nanohives you won't survive a sustained fight, and even if you do, you've got no sidearm for CQC.
"easy aim mode"
Yeah it's real easy to hit a guy running across the field 30 meters away with a round that moves slow enough to be easily tracked. I don't stand much of a chance if he's sitting on a box standing still from 30 meters as well.
Some of the biggest complainers are the guys who I see pub stomping. Did something finally trump your previous FPS experience? Welcome to New Eden. |
