For your information, i do play. Didnt much for a while but doing my cap again now.

Now, aside from playing, reading the forums and gathering players feeling and reporting it to devs not much i can do. Unlike what some seem to think, i dont go to Wolfman and scream "Nerf AR !" or "Buff my suit !"

Still, that doesnt prevent me from having an opinion. And i think it is too good at the moment. 1.6 made it even worse as new HD emphasizes a lot its absence of recoil and high rof.

In my opinion, its damage output should be toned down (not nerfed to hell..) and its damage fall off over distance be more noticeable. The coming range changes may help even though when i compare the new numbers with the current ones i dont see much of a difference. Overall, i think all rifles (SR, smgs and the coming CR\RR as well) should have their damage toned down a bit now. (starting with the 10% uprising buff ). Would also make the HMG feel better than it is now without actually tweaking it. (no i dont play as a heavy,)

And btw, i couldnt agree more with the "Core Locus 514" part of your sig. Those need to be toned down as well. Maybe rise their nanite cluster consumption to avoid spamming. decrease the explosion radius and\or damage a tad . Revamp their efficiency vs shield to make them less over-efficient. (yes i do use core locus)

This patch just became a ketchup effect of OP instakill weapon, which ruins the game for me and many others... +¦-damage specialist since Sep ´13. CCP please make our decisions matter. "AR 514.

Maybe that is good for me, but it is not good for the game, since it it is supposed to be a shooter with High Hp, strafing and tracking skills. +¦-damage specialist since Sep ´13.

I wont say otherwise. the 10% uprising buff needs to go for rifles\smgs as a first step. might end up being a good balance move across the board regarding rifles\other weapons dynamic. Would love to have more feedback regarding taking this to the devs as a possible first step hotfix. Please make a name list or something. I will sign it immidiately for you. I bet most dust players will also do it. +¦-damage specialist since Sep ´13. CCP please make our decisions matter. "AR 514. Core Locus 514. Bricktank 514."

When I talk about AR I mean AR and ScR right now, possibly RR and CR. +¦-damage specialist since Sep ´13. CCP please make our decisions matter. "AR 514. Core Locus 514. Bricktank 514."
