Been using Mass Drivers since closed beta when they were weaker and only. Had 4 shots. I'm rarely killed by them and I'm gallente. There's only been 2 or 3 players who ever really gave me problems with. Most of them out there are just flavor of the month players with terrible shots.

I'd start by reducing explosive bonus to armor. I don't see the logic in it being so high. 105% or 110% would be plenty. I'd be fine with it being just 100% I think.

If they're going to nerf the weapon itself (again), go ahead but they need to fix the aiming system back to how it was in Chromosome at least.

Only reason I speced into the mass driver is because I bought the elite pack. So I speced into weapon that will make each suit shine. Logi I with mass driver. Heavy with forge and hmg, assault with ar and scout with sg. And my min scout with nova knives and remote explosives.

Every weapon in this game is OP if its in the right hands.

Come on there has to be a proper way to counter it, if this is the only way to counter the weapon I might have to take back the "I don't think the weapon is OP". The weapon cannot be that powerful that the only way to counter is by running away and not re engaging.

Things that routinely kill me when using a MD:

Snipers
Tac AR
Shotty
Myself :)

Remember, MD is really good for logis and logis have no sidearm. More often than not, those MD users are logis that you can close on and fight in CQC. This can easily lead to the logi killing himself in the blast.

Mass Driver = giving up light weapon slot for infinite contact grenades.

. . . will we see by the end of this x2 sp week?

By the end of the last multiple SP week, the number of flaylocks in the average match roughly tripled, and they suffered a nerf soon after.

Now, I love the mass driver. I started to think it was OP too until I took better ARs into the field, and we know from these forums that too few AR players believe they should be killed by anything other than more ARs.

So I'm wondering how many mass drivers you folks think will show up this week?

5m Blast radius that does enough damage to kill everything except some heavies in 1 clip. How can you miss with that weapon?


People complain the AR is "only" point and click, where as the MD is just click.

At least you have to keep clicking. The AR user just has to press the button once.

Um there is a Burst AR and there is a TAC AR that require more clicking...FAIL

Hmm, again, I guess you have a problem with....thought.

When people talk about ARs, they're talking about the mainline ARs, the OP ones. Burst isn't very good, and TAR, while still a little too strong, isn't anything like as strong as it was or as strong as the mainline ARs.
