Patrick57 GunFall Mobilization Covert Intervention 1105	Posted - 2013.10.30 22:45:00 - [1] - Quote I understand the Shotgun has bad hit detection, but if the hit detection issues were ever fixed, who would say that the shotgun is "Balanced," or at the very least, not UP? :D
Doc Noah Algintal Core Gallente Federation 799	Posted - 2013.10.30 22:47:00 - [2] - Quote Breach is the only UP shotgun in the game. Cant really one shot most players unless you fit 1-2 damage mods or go for the head, seems balanced.

If hit detection is fixed. The Shotguns will be balanced. I use the Breach shotguns (You know the ones that actually need skill? Anyone can use a CRG-3 pfft) and i secretly think is the most OP weapon in the game.(needs a little more RoF SRSLY, it already has only 2 shots why the low ROF? ) I wont say it out loud so you people dont think im crazy but.. Oh...Sh...oh well.... u+Élop s-¦ -Äll+Én-ç+ö+É

No. Just remember, the shotgun isn't up because hit detection/misfire/range no no no, It's up because it's not heavy enough. That's right, it needs more weight. Heh. Something witty here. How about? #DELAY 514 ... been waiting for a rail rifle longer than SoTa's been trolling.

OZAROW WarRavens League of Infamy 1005	Posted - 2013.10.30 22:57:00 - [11] - Quote The sg an nk are supposed to be fixed next patch. I think that a proto an damage mods should drop med frames in one shot if the range is what it is. But sometimes it takes 3 to a starter fit an their ar still kills you in under a sec. But if they increase the range an fix hit detection all the good shotgunners are gonna be the reason in two weeks your gonna see AR users posting shotguns are op threads everywhere. We're used to them being crap so just wait till the patch cuz if they end up working as good as they should, shottys are gonna scare the crap out of people cuz people that don't use them have no clue how broken they are and their gonna be crying when they work. Good scouts have no problem sneaking an getting the shot, the only reason targets are living through this is because of busted detection, so they have no clue how deadly life's gonna be in a week if the patch works an every shot lands. =ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ SUPER FORUM SAIYAN 3 KaaaamEeeHHAAAAMmmMAHHHAAAAAHH!

Vyzion Eyri The Southern Legion The Umbra Combine 1641	Posted - 2013.10.31 00:19:00 - [18] - Quote Would there be any chance that the SG isn't underpowered but that light dropsuits simply aren't working at maximum potential at the moment? I mean, with cloaking, better EWAR mechanics and other changes to gameplay/light dropsuits, the shotgun as it is currently could become very deadly. I personally find it difficult to make suggestion threads mainly because there are so many bloody factors to take into consideration when suggesting a change or giving feedback that I end up presenting to myself the counter-arguments for the very existence of the thread and end up deleting everything before I post. > "I will show you fear in a handful of dust."

Because of its weight. its weight is certainly underpowered, it should get a size and weight buff - so that its a heavy weapon - and also a damage and range buff ofc - awesome gallente heavy blaster weapon! then light shotguns can be smaller, cos at the moment they're the same size as the scout wielding them, looks like they'd slow him down a lot

Shotty GoBang Pro Hic Immortalis 1863	Posted - 2013.10.31 01:11:00 - [32] - Quote Personal Opinions: Standard Shotgun: We won't know if it is balanced or not until it performs reliably (hopefully by 1.6). Breach Shotgun: Needs work.
Aleksander Black Immortal Retribution 238	Posted - 2013.10.31 01:20:00 - [33] - Quote Definitely not UP. They scare the **** out of me. Although I believe that it requires skill, even when they get hit detection on spot, but that's how things are supposed to be after all: people that know what they are doing with a good weapon will take it to another level of lethality, be it the SG or something else.

Rusty Shallows Black Jackals 452	Posted - 2013.10.31 03:26:00 - [42] - Quote Hit Detection and the Weapon's Combat Utility might as well be two separate unknown variables. A question that can't be answered in a definitive way. I've been in a similar spot with the HMGs. They seem off but nailing it down is hard when there are so few games when the hits register. That being said I'm still seeing more HMGs than Shotguns in Pubs. So assuming they have the same degree of hit detection issues then it's possible shotguns are underpowered. However it is just as possible someone really borked the code on them soon as it is cleared we'll see "nerf shotgun," threads again.

I dont want shottys to get a buff because once Heavy suits are usable AGAIN. I will fear the shotty if it gets a buff. Tbh tho the shotguns are like toy guns. They are UP. I would like to see it fixed. Will suck for me but personal gain isnt worth a game lacking in an area. Get your shotty buffed and my heavy suit fixed so we can fight it out!

IgniteableAura Pro Hic Immortalis 268	Posted - 2013.10.31 14:08:00 - [50] - Quote Honestly, time will tell come tuesday. I am looking forward to testing it out again. I am hopeful but not all that optimistic for a complete fix. All weapons seem to have HD issues, so if they are equally improving across the board, ARs might instagib before scouts even have a chance at closing the range. OG shotgun is pretty well balanced if the shots stop disappearing. Breach could use some small hugs. Currently not much advantage to using it other than to warm up and improve your aim/patience. In my experience, what you can kill with one shot with breach you can kill easier with two shots from the OG. PHI Recruitment or PHIsh Tank in game Twitch

Nothing on scale with Chromosome though. Peppering mercs half-way-across-the-map was a tad redongculous.

I think that a proto an damage mods should drop med frames in one shot if the range is what it is. But sometimes it takes 3 to a starter fit an their ar still kills you in under a sec. But if they increase the range an fix hit detection all the good shotgunners are gonna be the reason in two weeks your gonna see AR users posting shotguns are op threads everywhere. We're used to them being crap so just wait till the patch cuz if they end up working as good as they should, shottys are gonna scare the crap out of people cuz people that don't use them have no clue how broken they are and their gonna be crying when they work. Good scouts have no problem sneaking an getting the shot, the only reason targets are living through this is because of busted detection, so they have no clue how deadly life's gonna be in a week if the patch works an every shot lands. =ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ=ƒöÑ SUPER FORUM SAIYAN 3 KaaaamEeeHHAAAAMmmMAHHHAAAAAHH! Ozarow bro, I actually tried sg's out on an alt, and was like fk this glad I tried it first, but hopefully the hit detection fixes make em good. I'm already specing into a scout right now, and originally was doing it for nova knives, so who knows this patch might work out great for me.
CLONE117 Planetary Response Organization Test Friends Please Ignore 438	Posted - 2013.10.31 15:14:00 - [54] - Quote shot guns would be the most powerful if they had their hit detection fixed. i can do fine with it. all though the ohk seems to only happen at point blank range.

Much like in their culture Amarrians prefer to be pin-point and precise. Using "gods" holy light to vanquish their enemies. Maybe if it was like a Slug round. A huge intense short pulse of light that decimates enemies shielding. So if CCP did go ahead with racial shotguns, would they be like this? Gallente - The current shotgun - Short-ranged high damage Minmatar - Lower spread, lower damge per shot automatic shotgun Amarr - Laser slugs - High damage, very accurate, low ROF, low clip capacity Caldari - Elephant gun - single shot clip, very high damage, very accurate, high reload time (for a light weapon)
Cass Caul Namtar Elite Gallente Federation 207	Posted - 2013.10.31 18:43:00 - [56] - Quote Honestly, as a someone who runs Shotgun in PC I think it needs some serious re-balancing. The Duvolle AR is still a better CQC weapon. It isn't hit-detection, it's the range on the shotgun. Simply back-pedaling when you know someone with a shotgun is there is going to be enough to get out of optimal range while you gun them down. The skills associated with shotguns are not good. Shotgun Operations: "3% reduction to shotgun spread." Proficiency with the shotgun is : "3% reduction in rate of fire per level." Rapid Reload and fitting optimizations are the same as everyone else's 1) We hope that it actually mean we fire faster because the wording says proficiency makes it take longer to fire. 2) The HK4M, once a favorite of mine because you could use it without skilling into shotguns, is useless. The dispersion on a shotgun without skill is so ridiculous is is nearly useless. 3) Proficiency 5 increases Rate of Fire from 85.71 to 98.56, or 1 shot every 0.7 seconds to 1 shot every 0.6 seconds on the normal and Rate of Fire from 60 RPM to 69, or 1 shot every second to 1 shot every 0.87 seconds. . . This is not a significant change for the SP investment 4) Rapid Reload is similarly uncostly. Rapid Reload V saves you 0.09 seconds per bullet (total 8) from 0.6 seconds to 0.51 seconds on the regular and from 1.3 seconds per bullet to 1.11 seconds. 5) fitting optimization, proto has 14 pg... like many others it doesn't really do anything My dragonfly scout runs 1 basic shield extender, shotgun, scrambler pistol, compact nanohive, complex kinetic catalyzer, enhanced repair module. It has 104 shields and 162 armor. The STD shotgun and STD breach shotgun are balanced around damage for STD suits. The Standard shotgun, if all pellets hit, does 400-480 damage (each pellet does 40 damage, 10-12 pellets). My Scout gk.0 runs 115 shields and 404 armor and does 440-528 with a PRO shotgun The weapon damage does not scale with suit eHP The Alloteck Breach cannot kill a prototype suit without a headshot. It is getting a bit ridiculous to run into a Gal and Cal logi or a heavy, score 2 direct hits, and panic as I chose whether to run or try and finish them off with a sidearm... but I usually don't get either choice and it's been 3 seconds and a Duvolle AR, a Freedom/Boundless Mass Driver, or HMG has already killed me. The Breach in the description says it is better at ranged attack compared to the regular, but optimal range is 10 or less. Scouts, Shotguns, and Sniper Rifles are very underpowered in this game. They were balanced last build, but in the 6 months Uprising they are need some love

8213 Grade No.2 515	Posted - 2013.10.31 20:48:00 - [61] - Quote Coming froma traditional standpoint of shotguns, were you sacrifice range for extreme close up killing power, I'd say they are UP in this game. Probably to the point of being useless. Getting with in range with a shotgun itself is a challenge in this game. Then not being able to kill in 3 or less direct hits, every time, makes it useless. What's the point of using it? I think it would be UP because it can't even be used in certain gamemodes on certain maps in certain situations. For a gun to lack range and power is a double dose of UP. The way the gamemodes and maps are set up in this game, getting within Shotgun range is severly restricting. You're shackled to only certain maps, and certain areas within those maps. It is the red-headed stepchild of DUST 514, and really can't work in the game because of how the game is setup as a whole. Shotguns are always fun, and not always super effective, but in DUST its madness. I think the only solution to making the gun worth using is to take off the damage mod stacking penalty for the weapon. Back before Uprising, the Shotgun was beast to use, and was still plenty hard back then.

If hit detection is fixed. The Shotguns will be balanced. I use the Breach shotguns (You know the ones that actually need skill? Anyone can use a CRG-3 pfft) and i secretly think is the most OP weapon in the game.(needs a little more RoF SRSLY, it already has only 2 shots why the low ROF? ) I wont say it out loud so you people dont think im crazy but.. Oh...Sh...oh well.... I never understood why all the breach weapons work the same. If I break into an area, why would I want a slow firing weapon if I am not sure where and/or how many foes they are. They can limit the range and clip size and give it good RoF. Or High RoF with concussive force and lower damage with standard reload time. Or Moderate RoF with big clip and good damage but long reload time. Simple things to give weapons and races more character.
