thank you.
with the new Aim Assist, and hit detection you barely have to aim with an AR. And in 15 bullets which is 25% of a clip you can kill any suit with less than 500 ehp. A militia AR can kill a proto heavy with 1591 ehp in 3.4 seconds. So, by your own reason the flaylock was "OP" the AR was and still is very OP and needs a nerf in fact the milita AR can kill your average heavy with 1100 ehp in 2.2 seconds out o 50m. a flaylock could never do that...lol

also, the fact that eveything is vastly inferior to the AR is enough reason to nerf it. flaylock and other guns were nerfed for less.

as a side note the flaylock only had three rounds in its clip and only needed a fire rate reduction. but even as it was it still only excelled in CQC, where ARs are not supposed to excel.

so please explain why the FLaylock was nerfed?

its a war game, and it killed people. Flaylockers never complained about ARs.

in fact before 1.4 there was very little complaint about ARs. but, ARs have been complaining endlessly since chromosome. thats why they need a nerf. there is really nothing left to nerf.

in fact AR users are now trying to double nerf guns like the MD. enough is enough. get nerfed scrub.

Attention: all those who don't want the assault rifle to be needed, unless we protest, and post our opinions in our own threads, I promise CCP will nerf the assault rifle. If you really care, post your own opinions on your own threads. As of right now, more people are protesting for the assault rifle nerf than against it. If you are against it, don't just sit there, let your voice be heard.



In my opinion, the description of the assault rifle says its the most advanced plasma weapon out there, so it needs to stay that way. Now you can respond to this, but make sure you most your own threads too. If you don't, I fear CCP will not hear your voice. I'm not asking you to spam I the place up, just post your own thread on your opinion on why you don't want the assault rifle to be nerfed.

actually i was in a match where that actually happened...

fundies was doing all the damn killing with dual flaylocks...


was not fun at all....

could not do anything to counter against it i only managed to kill him once or twice....

thus my support of the flaylock nerf...

how am i slow? this is dust which is set in the future, right?

im starting to hate all this posting im playing a different game....

and on forums at same time..lol
its starting to get confusing but legandarys own copy of my post only proves he is running out of things to fight back with...

as for flaylocks i had no problem with them at first it was only until players starting fitting 2 flaylocks on the same suit which was the op part of it all...


1 flaylock wasnt really horribly annoying but the double flaylocks with continues fire was...

8 rounds fired extremely fast... only seemed to be the core flaylock doing all of the killing though...

nerfing fused by reducing the number to 1 wasnt a very good solution..

and i kinda prefer dieing to those instead of cooked m1 and core locus nades... im still surprised the m1 and core locus have stayed under the radar for so long with their special ability to ohk almost any suit... i guess its because they r nades and most ppl dont pay attention to the nade spam

I used ars a lot and have made anti nerf posts for them but aa and hot detection fixes have made it op
People used to pray and spray and hit 30% ,or take 1-2 seconds to aim and hit 60-70% now it auto aims instantly and people hit 80-90%
Now it's just spray and perfect accuracy insta win

I don't understand this argument... what in the world is fair anyway. In the real world, you use the best thing you can get your hands on, and trust me life is in no way fair or balanced. If presently the AR is the best way for you to kill someone then great. If tomorrow its not then oh well. There will always be a variety of ways to kill someone in this game, but fair never really comes into the equation.

Adapt, overcome.

The problem I have with that is the fact that nerfing the range would render the tactical and burst variants virtually useless. It would be suicidal to use.

It needs its range nerfed down by a lot. Like A LOT.

Turrets are the types of weapons we are carrying and their ranges and operations are well defined. Scroll down through the lists of turrets and read the descriptions and about the ranges. I think the problems we have form the ARs is the optimal range is too far out and when newer rifles are added the ranges will need to be changed. The blaster rifles we have now should out range CQC weapons but not go much farther than the beginning of medium range. I don't mind the DPS because they are blasters and should really do their job well.

CQC weapons are light, rifles are medium and heavy weapons are large. Blasters are on the short end of medium but our ARs now take the entire medium range. Something is going to have to change to make the blaster AR do what it is supposed to.

let me show you something;

the galente assault rifle needs to be nerfed due to a groups of individual players completely annihilating everything solo...


getting on average per match around over 50-70 kills a game with it by using nothing but ARs...

so yeah it is op... it can kill even better with 1.4 and obliterate entire team solo...

^^this is the current game. the same reason you wanted the flaylocks nerfed is the same reason we want the AR nerfed.

Nice try, but I've yet to be in a battle where somebody gets 50-70 kills with any weapon. And most people don't go in solo with the assault rifle. That's probably the stupidest move you can make with any weapon, as you will get raped by sheer numbers guaranteed.

Nobody has gotten such a number of kills period with any weapon. I don't care how much you whine about how OP it is, that's impossible to get such a number of kills. And nobody goes solo and slaughters everybody with an assault rifle. That's too stupid to do even with a prototype assault rifle.


The problem that I've recently noticed has nothing to do with the gun, it has to do with the range at which auto aim takes effect. The distance is too high

Iv done this on my alt who is skilled into ARs. Next time I get 50+ kills in a skirm i'll take a picture for ya

Idiots, they're already nerfing the AR behind your backs. Haven't you noticed the changes in kick, dispersion, shorter optimal range and damage? You've been nerfed and haven't even noticed yet.

Out of curiosity, I'd like to see that. However, I will dismiss it to be mad skill, and nothing more.

I'll be honest, it doesnt happen everyday, but I usually go around 20 - 30 kills a game on my alt with the AR. I'll try extra hard to get 50+ kills just for you though!

Either the AR needs a nerf or heavies need a giant buff.

I've noticed quite the opposite actually. And if they have changed the dispersion and kick, then it really adds more reason as to why they shouldn't be nerfed.

It's better then a Every heavy weapon.

It's OP.

Why are we still discussing its OPness?
