Lightning xVx R 0 N 1 N 242	Posted - 2013.10.08 16:21:00 - [1] - Quote So far in every game I have played I have gotten about 90-95% of my shots landed. And I hope you continue this path of awesomeness and for that I will buy the 'Elite Pack' in the coming days because you deserve it. Thank you CCP, you have my approval today.

The funny part is I DONT CARE if I die now, because its legit. Granted I don't want to use it in PC still but soon after they fix that then I will be a happy Merc.
Cyrius Li-Moody The New Age Outlaws 1169	Posted - 2013.10.08 16:27:00 - [6] - Quote Awwww yeah. Now I won't which to choose... pistols, shotguns, smgs... my scout suit has options!
TheArchon Nyain San EoN. 7	Posted - 2013.10.08 16:36:00 - [7] - Quote Excellent news! Now I may actually get to use my Duvolle Specialist without frustration. Or maybe it's back to the Kr-17
Meeko Fent DUST University Ivy League 1090	Posted - 2013.10.08 16:42:00 - [8] - Quote Hmm. I'll test my Shotgun Fit when I play.
Dariuz Krul Ultramarine Corp 12	Posted - 2013.10.08 16:54:00 - [9] - Quote One question CCP, I saw a teammate go down to a shotgun this morning at 63 meters... That's over 200 feet, 75 odd yards? Really? Even given a good skillset and "slugs", that is a bit too far, no? Are you working on that?
Sgt Kirk SyNergy Gaming EoN. 2137	Posted - 2013.10.08 16:54:00 - [10] - Quote I haven't noticed a difference in shotguns at all.

Shotty GoBang Pro Hic Immortalis 1485	Posted - 2013.10.08 16:55:00 - [11] - Quote Sounds exciting! Though there's nothing in the patch notes about SG improvements. To what could we attribute these observations, if in-fact nothing was changed?
DJINN Marauder Ancient Exiles 1666	Posted - 2013.10.08 17:03:00 - [12] - Quote Interesting... I was doing good with it before.... Imagine now... Muahaha Can't wait till I get home
Lightning xVx R 0 N 1 N 244	Posted - 2013.10.08 18:31:00 - [13] - Quote I honestly don't know what they did but something is very much different about it. I was nailing people on my first-second-third shot.
Amruk Jackal D3LTA ACADEMY 10	Posted - 2013.10.08 18:36:00 - [14] - Quote Maybe it's all in your head or maybe you got a better connection or maybe they buffed your shotgun only lol. I'll be very happy myself if the shotgun works. Now, to wait a few hours 'till work is done to test it out.

I downloaded the update but I didn't play yet cuz I'm @work. Plz no spoilers
Lightning xVx R 0 N 1 N 244	Posted - 2013.10.08 19:37:00 - [16] - Quote IF the shotgun has been fixed, this might allow me to move on to the dreaded.............."Breach" (DUN DUN DUUUUUN) Epic BGM.
TechMechMeds Swamp Marines Kleenex Inc. 318	Posted - 2013.10.08 19:47:00 - [17] - Quote Yes! Now I can use my vanity fit, proto amar logi with matching yellow hk4m
Chunky Munkey Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 1704	Posted - 2013.10.08 19:50:00 - [18] - Quote Damn, I skilled SMG because of the hopeless shotty.

Granted I don't want to use it in PC still but soon after they fix that then I will be a happy Merc. This is what we needed for core mechanics - that the failures were ours and not the game's. The next plateau is a shooter that feels good. I suspect that's where the witchcraft part of it comes in.
Rynoceros Rise Of Old Dudes 855	Posted - 2013.10.08 19:56:00 - [20] - Quote Shotty squads. Watch your face.

OZAROW WarRavens League of Infamy 796	Posted - 2013.10.09 04:12:00 - [21] - Quote If this is true than my proficiency 4 might not have been a waste after all, time to dust it off

I dare you to stand 75 m from me and let me take potshots at you with my 12. I have seen my dad take down a deer at 70 yards with a rifled slug. Dropped it like a fly. YouTube the AA12 as well and see military ammo variants that make 12 gauge slugs. The shotgun is much more versatile then people think and definitely has more range then people give it credit. Mean sure if your using n9 steel buckshot it's not much of a threat unless you have it in someones face but ssg, slugs, rifled slugs and other military speciality ammo make it a scary weapon. If you cant tell I love the sg. Both in games and rl

All weapons do some damage at long ranges - if your teammate had only a tiny sliver of health left then it's perfectly reasonable for a shotty to have killed them. EDIT: the guy above is spot on, irl a shotgun can take you out at ranges video games deem impossible - but that's just a case of gameplay > rl
Shutter Fly Molon Labe. RISE of LEGION 86	Posted - 2013.10.09 11:40:00 - [27] - Quote When I saw this thread I figured it was just sort of a placebo effect. I never really had issues with the shotgun since the post 1.4 fix, but I notice even more improvement since 1.5 dropped. Before, I was having issues with non-heavies/Gallente not dying to a point-blank 2 Complex DM CreoDron shot. Now, it's one shot = one kill, every time the entire thing connects. Much fewer phantom pellets, if they aren't completely nonexistent now. It was apparent something was wrong in 1.4, I now realize how much. I had an instance a few weeks ago where I shot at an enemy, who died to a teammates fire at the same time, I then immediately turned right to shoot another enemy. When I shot I clearly saw about 2-4 pellets fly directly to the left, straight at the body of the player who I had just shot at, who was still in my FoV. Before I just thought it was lag, display issues, or people inflating small inconsistencies, but after 1.5 it seems apparent that there must have been some major latency and server issues.

Doubted my initial observations as fluke, but I'm fairly certain now that it isn't my imagination. Stationary targets seem to take damage more reliably than before. Backpedaling or distanced targets seem to take damage at slightly longer range ... not much damage, but enough to finish an HP-critical target. I'm still having problems hitting medium-frame "super strafers" at 3-10 meters. Always seem to land the first shot, but whiff every shot to follow once they start their little hipfire jig. I don't encounter it too often, as I think the dance requires KB/M.

Stationary targets seem to more reliably take damage than before. Targets seem also to take damage at slightly longer range than before ... not much damage, but enough to finish an HP-critical backpedaler. Also seem to be missing fewer bunny hoppers, though I need to encounter a few more before making the claim with certainty. I'm still having problems hitting medium-frame "super strafers" at 3-10 meters. Not a big deal ... there are solutions to that problem. The only other issue I've observed so far is that the SG reverts to unpredictable when latency drops. Time to test the ole Breach again. Exciting! :-) It definetly isn't huge but I noticed quite a change in my hit detection I was shocked
