I find it just comical that as soon we got a update every 1 just turns their attention away from massdrivers.
They still deal the same damage, they still have the same blast radius and apart from the armor buff nothing has changed in terms of HP. It was a smart move for CCP not to nerf the massdriver and for once their predictions where correct.
Aiming got "fixed" and now it becomes very clear what the true OP weapons are and allways where.
Fully auto assault rifles and scrambler rifles (though scramblers are still exotic view on the field). AR's need to be nerfed hard either with reduced damage or more kick while shoting fully auto.

MD's are OP, very very much. I was using EX0 and EC3. Now i don't even bother with those. I'm killing multiple proto suits with just the Standard MD. Tell me i'm wrong or making things up, but it wont change the fact that MD needs tweaking

Been using it since chrome and still using it now. And I'm still going to use of because I'm getting the kills and not some magnetic aim assist.

Hit detection!! You guys are like stuck records!!

Mass drivers benefited like no other from making themselves hard to hit (while still hitting on every shot), so the changes (especially the strafing fix) seem to have hit them quite drastically.

My prediction was that mass drivers would continue to escalate. So far it looks like I was quite wrong.

I'm still thinking that it might be better for the game (and mass driver users themselves) if mass drivers would be balanced for slightly longer range, so they can be made more powerful while not being too easy to use.

The question is, do you want an easy weapon, or a potentially very effective one? Both are viable routes, but it can never be both at once.

It's hard to tell what the issue is with so many sweeping changes. The 10% bonus to weapon damage, varying hit box sizes based on movement, and the newly implemented aim-assist are all problems that need to be taken into account.

Lol. Maybe they die so fast BC everyone is armor tanked now.
I put 3 complex damage mods on my freedom and as long as I play it as more PG a fire support role than a CQC assault specialist, it absolutely tears the meanest heavies up and assaults rifles lose their mind when I take of all their shields with a direct hit.

AR needs a nerf BC it hits harder than an HMG...that is not okay.

This is now a game similar to what it was in beta. It's a range game now.

I am 100% geared towards CQC and my game has suffered dramatically.

MD was killing most players in 1.3 But now it kills anything i want to kill. LOL And cut the crap with that support weapon bullsht. Some of the new maps and areas are a heaven for MDs. Specially with elevated grounds and balconies and whatnot. I just want them to fix this noob choice aim assist and tweak the MDs

Why what do you run? And how do you run it, I have seen plenty of people running cqc fits doing much better, my cqc fit does better to!!
