I thought I was the only one who managed to kill a tank with a shotgun o.o

Same. Not my connection.

Sometimes it's on, other times it isn't.

Anyone who runs the Shotgun regularly is well aware that it remains erratic and unpredictable.

it was better. However it seems that over the past few days it gets worse and worse. When it works rite its fantastic. But as a scout, when u have even a single round not hit usually means your dead.

He is absolutely right. There could be numerous reasons why it doesn't work but I will say a few things that might cause it too suddenly drop in performance when in combat.

1.) When being shot at from a high RoF weapon.
2.) Explosions/ Major fights
3.) Stunlocking
4.) Switching-Weapons
5.) Reloading
6.) High turn speeds
7.) RoF on Shotgun
8.) Running Fast and then aiming suddenly aim/shoot.


And possibly more, I have run SOLEY shotguns since closed beta, have fought some of the best shotgunners and exchanged ideas/views with them. They are broken and need to be addressed along with all the other weapons. I honestly don't know why everyone is approving for "More Content", when the gun play is sub-par and NEEDS to be fixed. Im sorry, CCP but you can't half-ass Core Mechanics and expect it to do "alright" along the way. The only weapons you made efficient in combat (IMO) are AR's, Mass Drivers and Splash Damage weaponry.

Oh I can tell you that, Calamity & Annie....Oh wait they also left because of KBM and Shotguns....hmm, guess Im not crazy for thinking Shotguns are broken after all.

It proves my point that no matter how much stuff you put into a game if it don't work, then fix it. I understand people are frustrated with the lack of content, but you have to think of it this way. This is a FPS at it's core in a MMO space, if you can't get the core right then don't make this a shooter. PERIOD.

Your ping on the server could be terrible or some ass that doesn't like to play on his server and comes over to your server with terrible ping and ruins it for everyone when he is teleporting everywhere. idk i have no problem with shotguns not even in pc battles

By definition shouodnt balance imply its a toss up? Like between two diffrent skill sets? Ability or even luck, surely you domt always expect to dominate and win even in cqc just because you have a shotty? The problem is not the gun, its people trying to run the gun and kill assaults and heavies in scout suits, remember if your in a scout suit your not a killer, your a scout, shot gun works really well in a fast minmatar suit as well, seeing how you can make the assault min faster than the scout, or at least as fast......
