Right now many people are complaining about the MD. I don't think its OP when it comes to base stats, but explosive weapons in general seem to have an advantage when it comes to damage resistances and weaknesses. +30% against armor is way too much, especially since the weakness against shields can easily be bypassed with a flux grenade.
The Uprising 1.2 blog on ranges and damage types said that explosive weapons should do -20% against shields, and +20% against armor; this sounds much more balanced. I don't know if the current numbers are a mistake, or if CCP just changed their mind after writing that devblog, but 130% armor damage is too much. Some have even claimed that the mass driver does 135% armor damage, but its difficult for me to calculate if its really that high despite the displayed efficacy.
If you guys (CCP) deem the MD is OP after 1.4 despite the changes to aiming and hit detection, try this before trying more extreme solutions. |

I can confirm that CCP did not change their mind about this, as CCP Wolfman in IRC less than two weeks ago said that explosives are indeed supposed to be 80/120% damage to shields/armor. |

Are they fixing it in 1.4, or 1.5? |

Hurrah. It'd be nice if it were fixed though. |

He didn't say.
It would be great if it was though. |

Damage calculation is handled server side correct? Couldn't this be handled with a hotfix then? |

I just caught Wolfman on IRC and asked him about this.
It seems he was unaware that explosives might not be doing the intended 80/120% damage to shields/armor and he said he will check up on it.
He also said they'll be hotfixing a bug that could screw up the amount of damage being applied to armor, but I'm not sure if this was related to explosives in particular or just damage to armor in general. |
