Well, technically speaking, since I am a Cloned Merc, wouldn't my body actually lack any racial genetic distinction?

My main Dropsuit is an Amarr Heavy Frame.

You cannot destroy my mind.

Do you see where this is going?

The suit itself is just a suit. you have chosen Minmatar as your race! No Amarr would ever fight for the Minmatar Filth that is the republic!

You tell him Lancaster

Sure your can!

The Clones have no genetic racial identity. All of this lies solely in the mind, which you will never be able to destroy or enslave. Your Amarrian mind is enslaved, however, by this concept of "god" and by your "Empress" who is nothing but an insatiable temple prostitute.

You do not have a soul, you have a body.

You are the soul, and your soul has your racial identity. Amarrians do not have an enslaved mind, rather the MInmatar have a corrupted mind via tampering by the Gallente.

Yet another reason Kb/M should not be supported in a console game.

I could QQ about this for days, weeks even.

Have you heard of the eagle eye? That thing has turbo and lets you play with Kb/M. Not supporting Kb/M will not get rid of the problem. Firing speed limits are the only way to stop turbo/ modded controllers.

A perfect example would be the speed limit imposed on the TAC AR. It worked perfectly. I will admit the other nerfs were unnecessary though.

Have the tryhards now resorted to using turbo modded controllers with the Scrambler Rifles?

I know they are good weapons and this I don't mind.

I pose this question because I was just in a match, and was killed in my Standard Heavy Suit in about .5 seconds from full HP. I was laying dead on the floor before my HP bars even started to drop.

I have my Shield Upgrade and Armor Upgrade Skills to lvl 5, and was using 1 complex plate for HP buffer.

While I understand it is a powerful weapon, is it really that powerful? It doesn't seem like it should be able to drop me this quickly.

Was this simply due to lag? It didn't seem like I was having difficulties in this regard. Input command was on time, and my framerate was fine.

You probably think I'm just QQing.

As far as rifles go it has the highest potential DPS exept for a heated laser rifle in its sweet spot. It is also the second hardest rifle to use, except for the Laser Rifle. Do you see the pattern?

I've dropped standard heavies in what seems like 0.5 seconds before with a normal DS3. I use the CRW with proficiency 3. Begin with a charge shot to the head then a few rapid fire follow ups, drops most anybody.

Ive only seen an uprise in Scrambler use after i came back out of retirement, during the first week i saw very little scramblers on the field, now i am starting to see allot more of them.

tough with all Scrambler Rifle skills at V + KBM + 3x complex Damage Mod = Heavy dead in less then a 0.5 seconds, this is
because we lead with a headshot charged shot coupled with 3-4 rapid fire blasts right behind it.

Before you QQ: This weapon has been deemed the most balanced weapon since it came out and you didnt see it a whole lot, because most people can't aim for the life of it, tending to overheat it too much or outright kill themselves with it...

It does become quite deadly in the hands of people who had 20+ years of FPS experience, but we could just grab the AR with 3 damage mods and be even more deadly.

That's cool man I have 20 years too, I can't remember my first headshot tho, I think it was on Oregon Trail.

You're really good with it. What's your loadout?

One more thing, for curiosity's sake are you kb/m and do you left click or wheel?

My loadouts typically have 1 damage mod, 2 shield extenders and more armor repairers than plates. I try to run ADV equipment if i can. I use an SMG if I have the power grid for it but I can settle for a flaylock. I use a DS3.

We werent all born with a DS3 glued to our hands man...

A single instance could be anything.
If you experience that, say, twenty times THEN you have a case.

You don't think this heavy has enough experience to know when something's off?
They sponge damage as a job.

Exactly right. I've been playing as a Heavy since Chromosome.

I understand that in skilled hands, the ScrR is very effective, but should it be this effective against a Suit whose role it is to tank damage and defend an objective, which is exactly what i was doing? I wasn't wandering aimlessly in the open expanses of the map, I was inside an objective trying to do what a Heavy is supposed to do, and got dropped as if I were in a scout suit.

If one person can drop a Heavy before the Heavy has time to fire 50 Rounds, the Heavy is extremely underpowered.

It really depends how you look at it, is EVERYONE dropping you in sub 0.5 seconds with the SCR ?
then we have a problem, like with the TAC AR, everyone was dropping everyone in 0.5 seconds with it, killfeed was overun with the gun.

Right now only 1 awsome user with an SCR get dropped you in 0.5s, sounds a bit out of perspective if you ask me.

Question. How far away do the ScR users engage you? If they engage you in the 45-70m range, they win. However if you catch them up close they are toast, unless they can land a charged headshot (which is like the hardest thing to do in close quarters... ever).
Its all about how you engage someone that outranges you, far too often I have heavies rush me across open areas, only to be mercilessly gunned down by my ScR. If they were to use cover to close in on me they would likely win the conflict, but they don't... so they lose.

Ah, the Consolidation Matrix. Anyways, keep in mind that this particular situation isn't necessarily a CRW + Prof 3 + 1 Complex DMG > Boundless HMG + Prof 5 + 1 Complex DMG. There are several other factors to consider here. Like

1. You were chasing someone so I got you while you were distracted
2. You were in an open area so could of been getting shot by other people as well
3. I had the high ground making you an easy target, especially for headshots

There's a lot more to it than just brute force. I had the clear tactical edge, wouldn't really say that makes the Scrambler Rifle OP. Oh and in case you were wondering since you logged out during the match, the Minmatar did lose.
