I am not a numbers junky in Dust or EvE. What many of you fail to realize is that skills are increasing daily. As the AR was the first mainstay weapon in the game, of course they SEEM overpowered, now. Wait until three months down the road, all of you same individuals, will be crying foul against the Scrambler Rifle, mark my words.
Your arguments are crap. I die far more often to proto and advanced lasers, snipers and scramblers nowadays than to a DuVolle. I can't count the times I have been pinned down with my GEK, unable to counter these weapons and screaming across comms for someone to please deal with the f'ing (insert above weapon of choice), or wishing I had a GLU. And many of these are simply advanced models.
Give it three months and this will be far worse, as these newly released weapons gather the following and skill investment they deserve. As a Logi, I need a versatile weapon, which the assault rifle fills, in three or four subsets. Yes, I should be at a SLIGHT disadvantage inside the niche weapons forte area. I usually am. That's where skill comes in. Again, as the most widely used weapon out there, it doesn't take much brains to figure out that is what most people are SKILLED at, now.
Name any modern army that uses a grenade launcher as it's mainstay weapon.. Or a sniper rifle.. Or a shotgun.. If they did, they would be slaughtered in their first serious battle. Those weapons are niche in real life, too. Because they simply don't do what a good old fashioned rapid fire machine gun does. Whether it is slinging 9mm chunks of lead or something similar, superheated to plasma.
You all nerfed the heavy machine gunner into a joke. A reasonable facsimile of a chain gun would not only mow down an armored warrior, but, the forest he was hiding in. Now a Heavy Gunner is afraid to run across the road, because the truth is, he's in a slow boat to hell. Now you've taken aim at the AR. Stop screaming nerf the ****, and let CCP work on balance. Or the weapons they release in the future are gonna be the future nerf it threads. |

I lied.. Screw crunching numbers! They don't mean crap IN the game, too many variables! Play the game and stop looking at spreadsheets.. The reality is Scramblers are more of a threat on the horizon than the leveled out statistics with regard to the AR. ALOT of people are good with an AR, now. Wait until ALOT of people are good with the newly released weapons. Then the crying is goinna start all over. Get over the fact that there is a mainstream weapon that competes with every other weapon, that's the way REAL combat is... Why is it common sense has to take a back seat to senseless fantasizing about things that simply aren't realistic? What do you propose as a mainstream weapon? There MUST be one.. Call it what you like, combat rifle, assault rifle, scrambler rifle, bolt gun, gotcha gun.. Unless war changes in some untoward manner in the next 10 centuries, there will still be one. No amount of whining is gonna change it. |
