XxGhazbaranxX The New Age Outlaws WINMATAR. 482	Posted - 2013.10.30 07:58:00 - [1] - Quote Hello guys As some of you may know I am a strict plasma cannon user. I love it and think that it's one of the most balanced weapons in the game requiring skill to get to apply the damage but today.... Today skill wasn't enough. I landed shot after shot and the splash was barely registering. I literally hit a Caldari assault 4 times with splash and barely took down his shields. . That's 20 seconds in battle (Aprox 5 seconds in between shots); he was a horrible shot in a proto caldari assault with a duvolle. I knew I was doing damage because every time I hit him his health would drop just a little bit. This makes me very sad because I got proficiency 5 today and wanted to see how I would melt my enemies in max 2 shots instead all I get is barely registered hits that cost me kills . Anyway for those of you who don't know how much damage a plasma cannon does with splash I'll set up the math for you. Allotek plasma cannon = 313 damage Proficiency 5 = 15% extra damage 1 complex damage mod = 10% extra damage Bonus damage to shield = 10% extra damage Total bonus = 35% damage Total weapon damage with bonuses: 3131.35 = 422 damage to shields 5 hit with splash = 4225 = 2,110 damage total Maximum caldari assault Shields Base shields with level 5 shield upgrades = 262.5 Shield extender with max cal ass skill and extension skill = 79.2 Total possible shields = (79.2*4)+262.5 = 579 shields total It should have taken only 2 shots to get through his shields with my damage but instead I couldn't even get past his shield becuase of the lowered damage bug. This my friends just got on my nerves. I just wanted to share my frustration and I really hope CCP fixes this in 1.6 with their "general hit detection fixes" For those of you who think I'm crazy and that I'm just a lousy shot as those Forum trolls tend to always say, here is the proof on a separate ocasion PROOF. The only reason I don't have this one recorded is because I factory restored My computer and was playing to pass the time while drivers updated and got everything configured . I would have loved to submit the video to CCP like I did the one linked. Plasma Cannon Advocate
Cosgar ParagonX 6832	Posted - 2013.10.30 08:04:00 - [2] - Quote Man, I've had this exact problem with the MD for as long as I can remember using it. I thought it was my imagination, but I think you confirmed it's a thing. Hope the devs see this and figure it out. There's nothing worse than having a weapon with an already limited ammo capacity robbing you. I tried to put a level into Amarr Commando once, but got a server notification saying "Why?"

I'm drunk every time I play, what's your excuse? Forums > Game Oh I almost forgot... Can I haz ur stuff?
Operative 1171 Aajli Bragian Order Amarr Empire 674	Posted - 2013.10.30 12:51:00 - [7] - Quote What are you saying, that CCP ninja nerfed the PC or that getting lvl 5 glitched the weapon? Could it be variation in lag on your end or the other player's?
Roofer Madness A.N.O.N.Y.M.O.U.S. 455	Posted - 2013.10.30 13:02:00 - [8] - Quote This is absolutely, positively, the worst part about using this weapon. Countless times I've hit them. I know I've hit them. You can even see the little electric looking markers or whatever. But little to no damage. Oh, and OP, if your splash damage maths was directed at me because of my horrible attempt the other day let me explain. I was calculating with 3 complex damage mods. And that was just for demonstrative purposes. I actually don't run any damage mods on my cannon. I prefer the slot for a complex sidearm damage mod for my SMG. The Dust 514 AFK song Plasma Cannon FTW

MassiveNine 0uter.Heaven Proficiency V. 350	Posted - 2013.10.30 21:11:00 - [10] - Quote Man I had some PS cannon user last night kill me 5 times in a row. I was like WTF. I had only ever been killed by one once before so it was actually pretty cool to see it being used well. To whomever it was, I hate you, but I respect you.

XxGhazbaranxX The New Age Outlaws WINMATAR. 485	Posted - 2013.10.30 21:19:00 - [11] - Quote Omg today was frustrating as hell. It like beong punished. I was being protostomped and on top of that my plasma cannon was hitting for sh!t damage. Literally if you have 100 armor left and i hit you with 285 splash without counting my profi 5. You should die not lose 50 armor and be able to hose me with yor duvolle. I swear if o wasnt loyal to my weapons i would divorce the plasma cannon. Plasma Cannon Advocate

Anyways i ussually hit very close because i don't aim at the floor. I aim at the right or left foot so if i miss i still get splash damage in there.

Iron Wolf Saber Den of Swords 9791	Posted - 2013.10.30 22:05:00 - [15] - Quote I think there is something wrong with splash overall. I use fluxes more often and not and never get a hit register, no shields stripped, no equipment fried.

Aiming at the feet with the plasma cannon is like trying to get a headshot Splash damage has always been a funny with Dust. From the 2-D issues where the slightest elevation could negate damage to the blatant desynch we experienced from Uprising 1.0-1.1, and the occasional issues now. There was a topic a while back from a missile tanker that had a similar issue, relating it to the shotgun. It'd be interesting if the way everything is registered server side made all these issues related so they could be fixed in one felled swoop. But anyway, I gotta give you credit Ghazbaran. I chuckled a little when you announce your passion for the PLC, but after watching your videos, you know how to make the thing shine. I've always made jokes that it came in pre-nerfed and advocated for some kind of buff. You really make it look easy to pop someone form 100m+.

Assert Dominance MoIden Heath PoIice Department EoN. 416	Posted - 2013.10.30 22:23:00 - [17] - Quote Some tips from a bitter vet. 1) numbers in this game are a lie, dont even look at them 2) lolplasmacannon 3) you sunk 770,000 sp for 3% more damage? Never go full ****** 4) you honestly shouldve never trained past standard pc, 2nd grade level math proves its not worth it 5) got any donut holes? Put glaze on that bun.

That extra 45 damage at proto tier is the difference between a kill or a death. 5) got any donut holes? Sorry to say you are wrong.

I think it's summed to then figure out the damage value. So it would actually be 15%+10%+10% which would total 35... Uncles you can point me to where the math for this is thoroughly explained.

RKKR The Southern Legion The Umbra Combine 681	Posted - 2014.01.25 18:05:00 - [22] - Quote I'm bumping this. Still seeing too much shots going through the enemy and direct hits giving kill assists on low-health suits.
Ghermard-ol Dizeriois Maphia Clan Corporation 115	Posted - 2014.01.25 19:32:00 - [23] - Quote Noob question: do both Proficiency and Damage Modifier apply to splash damage? If you are an hacker, a cheater o a glitcher, you deserve death. In real life.
