Let's call a spade a spade here: Everything that isn't an AR is considered OP because everyone wants this game to be a goddamned F2P CoD. In the self entitled minds of people that think this way, they can do no wrong and only want this game to be fair and fun for themselves and no one else. They'll degrade any weapon that they deem as "easy mode" due to misplaced xenophobic tendencies and a desire for a "fair fight" in a game designed to have messy full-scale battles. This mentality is a cancer on this community and until CCP stops trying to appeal to them at the expense of everyone else, Dust 514 will never get better.

When the update of 1.4 comes rolling out what do you think will be next GÇ£NerfGÇ¥ thread. I for one know in fact that everyone and their mom will cry out that the Shot Gun is OP. Yet no change was made to the shotgun. Just a fixed hit detection across the board. Do any of you believe that the shotgun and HMG and other guns effected by the hit detection will be called if so please share your thoughts. Thank you

If anything, AR users(including myself) should have their ARs nerfed to better distinguish standard from proto. The fact that the standard AR only does three points less of damage( or something close to that) than the proto eliminates the reason to skill higher into the skill tree. I have no problem with the TacAR as is, but I would just like AR users to stop calling for everything to be nerfed lol

Yes Shotgun is OP

Lasers will make a comeback. Even if shotguns are fixed, that doesn't mean the paper-thin scouts wielding them will be buffed.
I know shotgun assaults are a good idea, but the community has always been stuck in the mindset that scouts are only good for their speed.

If Shotgun is nerfed more then what it is now, CCP will lose a customer. Permanently.

LOL you actually posted xD

Off topic: Even though we don't agree on the same matter I love going against your Corp, add me in game.

On topic: Noob xD

Well instead of adding ShotGun Steve add this character so we can squad in game xD

With all the venom being spit concerning the MD, you would be bat crap crazy to think the Shotgun will suffer a different fate. Add in the fact that the MD was nerfed, then it was "un-nerfed" via hit detection being fixed. Compared to the Shotgun going back to the way it was with no nerf what-so-ever? There are not enough airguns in the world to clear out the amount of sand stuck in this communities vajay-jays...

Hmm Alter Accounts I see

Once the Shotgun gets fixed, it'll get nerfed, the thing will be a beast in CQC and AR users wont like that one bit.

I'm calling it.

Already called it.



God I hope we're wrong.

I expect to see nerf Nova Knife threads and nerf SG threads cuz they'll be beast in cqc

Shotgun is the only gun that actually takes skill.

I hope your wrong Steve. Theres a lot of bad press out there about Dust 514 right now and the last thing they need to lose people with specialist weapons.

The day I see a "nerf HMG" I will be happy like the MD users were at first and then suddenly very scared of what being in the spotlight requires. I hope the fixing of hit detection puts the AR back on the spot though because their range without lag is going to be brutal.

(HMG for life)

I actually think the HMG will be relatively weaker. Because of the dispersion, it's not as impacted by the particular problem with hit detection as more precise weapons like the AR. (It's definitely impacted, just not as much as more precise weapons.) If that's really going to be fixed in 1.4, and assault rifles get a boost from aim assist, the HMG is going to be practically useless. At least, I think that's how it will work. I guess we'll find out in a couple weeks.

trust me, me in a minja scout you won't see me coming. I'll 1 hit kill everything in my path and make people cry tears of blood. As you lie there dead i'll be cleaning up my duck tape on my suit
