Keri Starlight Psygod9 D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 912	Posted - 2013.10.26 05:57:00 - [1] - Quote Before you pull out the old "no, they are meant to be weaker" argument (which no one at CCP ever confirmed), we have an Assault Scrambler which is a very good weapon and the new rifles are going to have some very valid assault versions as well. The Assault Combat Rifle is going to be some kind of ranged SMG, which sounds amazing, and the Assault Rail Rifle is going to outrange and outdamage the current Blaster Assault Rifle. So no, this argument is invalid. Back on topic now: AR Variants needs to be reworked. -Breach Assault Rifle: As it stands right now, the Breach is going to have lower damage, lower ROF and shorter range than the Rail Rifle. This obviously needs a complete change. The Breach is already currently underpowered, but it's going to be totally obsolete whenever the Rail comes out. Even counting that it's going to receive a direct range buff (it's going to have the same range of the standard AR). Rework needed: Total -Burst Assault Rifle: Currently the Burst is not a good weapon. At all. But at least its damage is going to be very close to the Combat Rifle's, even though the ROF seems to be lower. The greatest difference is obviously the range. With these stats, the Combat Rifle is going to be an exact copy of the Burst AR (with a slight different ROF, I believe) with much better range. So yes, this is also asking for some love. Rework needed: Moderate -Tactical Assault Rifle: The Tac AR is currently a viable weapon, simply because it's the most ranged assault rifle out there..! It's obviously weaker than the Scrambler, but currently has slightly better range. However, this has been contested so much that NOT ONLY the Scrambler is going to get a massive range buff, but the Tac AR is going down from 60m to 55 optimal (ADV) and from 65 to 60m (PRO). But this is just part of the problem: Both the new Rifles are going to have better ranges even with their assault versions..! Basically, an Assault Combat Rifle will have better range than the Assault Tactical (which is blaster, but still a tactical rifle). Finished yet? No. The standard AR is going to get a range buff too, while the Tac AR's range gets nerfed; this means that the Tac AR is going to have only a 10 METERS advantage over the standard version! CCP... why? What's going on with this? Rework needed: Massive Can I summon a DEV? This is some important stuff and I'm confused about the lack of communication about the rework for these weapons, which were considered "placeholders" but they are no more. Also, the Assault Scrambler is a GOOD weapon and it came AFTER the Assault Rifle... so this idea of "placeholders" needs to die. We need these weapons to work properly. Thank you.
