They made the mistake of calling it an assault rifle, which is what every noob will immediately gravitate to because of its familiar name and function. Shattering that comfort zone for the casual scrub is dangerous, so they will not fix it. It's a shame, because it could have easily had a lot more character to it.
Seems like they shattered the comfort zone of evetards that think Dust is Eve.
To add further, these are mercs, not ships. |

And actually they are blasters, not mercs or ships. And blasters do a specific thing at a specific range.
OK stickbundle tell you what.
Why don't we just take all the EVE ranges and apply them to weapons so we can snipe from Molden Heath to Curse region? Would you be happy then?
Shut you mouth baby.

Jesus you'd think some people would remember that.... pathetic. Just like we build all of our weapons in specific ways, so too do the Gallente, why would they change their combat discipline on the ground when it works so well in space?
HEY ADAM
INFANTRY DOES NOT EQUAL AIRCRAFT IN ANY SETTING

Come and get some more.
Eve is ships, in space, different mechanics.
Perhaps plasma has a better range in heated atmosphere where it doesn't dissipate like in the cold of space.
Could it be that plasma can have range in that sense or would you rather bandwagon? |

Sure it does from a design philosophy. You wouldn't alter already functional designs.
I apologize.
What I am trying to say is that designs in space do not always work the same way on the ground.
Heat rapidly fades in the cold of space.
Therefore it should be expected that weaponry using plasma would be capable of more distance in warmer environments.

The races of New Eden have combat philosophies that work, in any setting. Why would the Gallente change something that works because they are on the ground? They use high DPS blasters at really close range, the AR should reflect this.
If the AR behaved like it should , it would be no less effective than it currently is, just more niche, like all of the other weapons in the game. The current AR is an amalgamation of the GAR, the Combat Rifle and the Rail Rifle, but without any of their weaknesses.
BS.
Why do people want to cherry pick physics? Add bullet drop to everything and give me a mirrored dropsuit ward off lasers then.
Modern day military weaponry can travel well over the distance of any map we play on.
The Lore argument needs to stop now. The goal isn't balance by lore it is balance by functional game mechanics so just stop.

Also mirror covercovered dropsuits wouldn't work for anything other than visible light.
That's fine and all but my point about plasma still stands without challenge.
Dust is not space and therefore plasma is not affected by cold and lack of oxygen so it can fly father and burn longer.
Goodnight. |
