Lightning xVx Zumari Force Projection Caldari State 169	Posted - 2013.09.13 06:09:00 - [1] - Quote I've been getting nothing but blue flare almost everytime I shoot someone with it. It doesn't matter if their in militia fit or proto it STILL DOES NOT REGISTER. I try to have faith in you CCP, I've been here since closed beta. But you honestly make me want to delete my accounts and tell everyone not to play this game. You need to straighten up your act on getting core mechanics down or else NO ONE will play this game, even with a F2P tag on it.

I've been calm since closed beta being hopeful but enough is enough. I can't even enjoy my suit let alone the weapon I want to use. I'm not even asking for nerfs or buffs just fix it. What is so hard about? It's a CQC weapon.... Not mid or long range.

This guy disagrees: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZbKm1T2Avs&feature=youtu.be I understand what your trying to do but not every Scout has montages everyday. Sure, jolly got hits with the shotgun but what about every other time? Or the fact that the shells have a phantom effect and shoot delayed targets as opposed to on-target? Say what you want it's still the same for me. I have EVERYTHING invested in my shotgun and it hasn't been improved, just slightly adjusted. 18m+ SP

Not that you need it; going 22-0 with it. By the way, my corporation want to know if you're interested in joining one. I really appreciate the offer but this build has been nothing but nightmares for a shotgunner. And if that scout buff doesn't help, I'm just going to delete my account. Why invest in something if it gets worse each build?

Not sure why it's so hard to fix these issues, but it's pretty silly. Can get good results but doesn't change that the core problems are still there. That's what I'm saying it worked amazing the day after they fixed it. Then 2 days later it continues down the downward spiral, again....And I'm just getting tired of even trying anymore. -_-

Granted the opposing team was pretty damn stupid. They kept ignoring me(probably because they couldn't see me on their radar bwhahaha) and just kept at trying to hack the objecting and I kept shooting them one by one then hiding around a hill. I did manage to kill moving targets as well. Not saying there isn't a problem just my experience tonight is all. I didn't use the shotty much before 1.4 so I couldn't tell you how much it has changed. Adv Minmatar Scout dropsuit Highs: 1x Complex Shield Extender, 1x Basic Shield Extender Lows: x2 Advanced Kinetic Catalizers Weapons: Militia Shotgun, Breach SMG Grenades: Std Locus Things that I have come across while fighting one person or multiple enemies at once: 1.) Phantoming Shells- You have delayed shots and it shoots behind them or in front of them (nowhere near them) and kills them. 2.) Stun Locking- Happens very briefly but happens most often when taking either direct fire or shot multiple times in the back by full auto weaponry. 3.) Blue Flare- Shots hit target but nothing is registered. 4.) Phantom Running- Your body actually is hit easier whilst running as opposed to just walking. 5.) Cross Shots-Laggy rooms will cause a slight homing-esque type of shot that will either FULLY kill ANY SUIT in one hit or completely do nothing. And I have taken proto logi's out in one hit when I know its bullshit. 6.) Range Dropoff- Shooting at enemies from either up close/ far will either BARELY do any damage or nothing at all. (I shot people before while they are just STANDING STILL and it still doesn't register anything, even if its a head shot....Really?!

Do it. EDIT: Oh and biomass the characters just to be on a safe side. Don't want CCP claiming more players based on character count, do you? Deleting characters wont be a problem, I'm more concerned if they (CCP) even get core mechanics right. Because if that goes, players go.
Lightning xVx Zumari Force Projection Caldari State 171	Posted - 2013.09.13 07:29:00 - [8] - Quote Oh and I forgot one more thing my favorite bullshit move of them all against shotgunners: When fighting someone and they jump midway (not peak but mid way) it will almost ALWAYS negate a shot from a shotgun. Unless they hit the peak of the jump then it registers. There's another glitch CCP, your welcome.
Lightning xVx Zumari Force Projection Caldari State 172	Posted - 2013.09.13 15:54:00 - [9] - Quote Like I said I love the shotgun it used to be effective as hell and the best hybrid weapon I have come across. But now it's so unreliable it's like your g/f going away to college and everytime she comes back she lies about how many guys she's seen. xD
Lightning xVx Zumari Force Projection Caldari State 176	Posted - 2013.09.13 17:02:00 - [10] - Quote That makes me wonder.... If CCP fixed "what was wrong" then what did they fix? Can we have a DEV explain fully please.

Head to head is dicey with the hit detection as some shots that were no doubt about it on target miss almost as if the shot from the gun has a lot of travel time as opposed to the shots from an AR are instantaneous same for the SCR but why would shot round have longer travel time? I have seen this as a problem too, when fighting someone 1v1 or 1v 10 (etc) the bullets almost never register on anyone because the frames slow down and the shots go elsewhere or just blue flare.

Hmm, guess you're just as insignificant like your role in your CORP. Why don't you just leave your CORP and this game because YOU won't be missed. K thanks.
