If the 10% buff to weapon were to be removed it should be removed across the board, no favoritism. I'm tired of being taken down within 1.5 seconds of concentrated fire (not spray and pray although that sucks worse).

I agree, it should be across the board, although some weapons may need to be buffed back after re-evaluating.

Why do we care what some "top 100" tryhards think? I don't care about their epeen, I want character customization to matter. Right now it doesn't. I have 19 million SP right now and if I suddenly dropped to 12 million, I wouldn't know the difference. I'd just not train the armor, shield and medic skills...all blam, no tank or support.

There would be no difference in the game. None. If I wanted a shooter like that I wouldn't be playing Dust, I'd be playing call of duty. We have that game already. We want something different.

The problem is with hitscan weapons in general, combined with the ridiculous aim assist and the OP AR specifically. All of these combined with a modest increase in hit registration has basically ruined Dust.

Until CCP wakes up though, this is what we have.

Hail AR 514. Hail king AR.

Nothing about the short TTK in the patch notes, here's hoping for ninja fixes. If not, I might just take another break.

To be fair, TTK is quite short only with a few weapons. Well with the AR to be more accurate.

I've been using the gallente rifle for most of my time playing dust and i could kill pretty quickly. Since i moved to assault scrambler rifle, i find it way longer (too long tbh), even with 2 damage mods. While i still get killed in a heartbeat by any GAR.

Why ? probably because of the insane lack of recoil on AR which makes it a weapon that delivers, on the BF, a way higher DPS than the rest of the weapons out there.

But when i face a heavy with a HMG, i often say to myself i should have died way quicker. Same goes when fighting 1 vs 1 with another ASCR user.

Obviously, i'm leaving FG out of the equation.

So yeah, let's not mistake overall TTK and weapon specific TTK.

Rollback 10% DMG buff that was applied, and issue resolved.

TTK issue, resolved.

As much as it truly pains me to say it, as much as i fought the AR nerf because i knew they weren't OP. Yes the time is now to nerf the AR right now

Or CCP could just take the easier and more efficient in the long run path and just remove aim assist.

The only reason that AR's are so powerful is because the beautiful weapon of mass destruction that is the gallentean AR + Aim assist + More people than ever using the AR = AR being more OP than all of the other weapons that are also OP.... Mega OP???

Thing is, with the AR you just can't miss unless you are just a complete noob.

Agreed. Remove 10% buff from every weapon

Its not about nerfing weapons, it's about reducing TTK, the same effect could be achieved with a buff to HP I suppose. This is supposed to be "the thinking man's shooter" (I know, what a giggle right?). There are plenty of shooters out there that I could choose to play if I wanted to drop people in a flash and most of them do twitch shooting better than Dust.

Give weapons more recoil, slow down rate of fire, reduce dps accross the board, buff HP and I'm sure there are better ideas from people cleverer than I am that could solve this issue, perhaps a mixture of all of them would do the trick. I almost dont care how it's done, just give me back my Dust 514

There needs to be an optional 2nd tier academy for new players under 2-5 millionish SP. This would fix the protostomping problem. Breaking the game by making the diversity of fits irrelevant, with the only viable builds being ARs, ScRs, SMGs (and likely the new rifles) with max tank & possibly damage mods is so much worse. Breaking gameplay for everyone is the wrong way to balance the problems with the NPE.

So, a whole new world of guns and vehicles now. It's been a couple weeks. How are people feeling about things I wonder? Or has the glitz of "new stuff" sort of glossed over everything?
