Hey CCP, you should sticky this post and then just change the placeholders with each iteration:

We have been hearing that version [#].[#] changes to [stamina/sprint speed/jump height//hitbox growth/"hit detection"/AA/KBM/latency/range/hp nerf/scout suit contempt/Heavy contempt/anything != Med AR contempt] have made the AR a little OP. Our devs think they may have spotted the issue and are working hard to resolve this. In fact we have a whole dev whose time is 100% dedicated to look like he is working on it every release.

What makes Dust 514 so unique is the endless possibility of diversity! However, New Eden is a brutal and harsh place, and while we allow the possibility of diversity, we also want to make a RL truth resonate: Being different is bad. HTFU.

Anyway we will be releasing new changes (TM) in version [#].[#++] that may or may not fix it.

While we realize that other game developers will pick up on what was supposed to make this game so great: the ability to be proficient in anything, the high HP and non-twitch nature, the idea of leveling skills and customizing fittings/vehicles, the non-pay-to-win/play structure etc... we sincerely hope they are not actually able to execute it better than we could. However, you should be comforted to know that in the spirit of HTFU, we will just have to deal with the loss of our user base. Go in peace, your non-AR ass can go somewhere else.

This is basically the feeling I get when reading troll posts from Devs and the lack of response on critical issues being posted by multiple people..

Are you sure you didn't copy and paste this from a dev on IRC ?

In case you didn't notice, assault rifles are the all purpose backbone of any military. (In terms of ground forces, now days they just drop expensive bombs from planes)

Why?
Because AR's are versatile.
So OF COURSE you see them the most, what did you expect, everyone to run around with shottys and knives?

Once all four AR's drop into the game, they will probably have an equal footing in terms of % of use, and that will kill any argument for "diversity".


Now, to the HD thing:
All direct damage weapons now became fricking powerful as ****.
I really suggest an accross the board eHP buff, or at least damage nerf to all direct fire weapons. (Including SMG's, SCR's, AR's, and whatever else that I can't think of right now)

Hey I'm an infantryman in the 82nd ars are used to take precise slow shots not fire all over the place. If you just want to shoot a gun you use a m249 or m240. Which ones better m240 and guess what compared to dust the m240 is the hmg but it doesn't kill so your logic is flawed shut up scrub. Rifles are NOT the backbone of the military they are just the cheapest..... scrub

Sigh...
I honestly expected people here to have more than 2 brain cells.
It doesn't matter what happens in real life, the AR is supposed to be a versatile weapon, and people prefer to be good at everything than amazing at one thing.
So of course you see them the most.

People who go specialized wreck stuff within their "jurisdiction" so to say, but beyond that they will be beaten by general purpose weapons.

I just got anally raped in this last pc battle to these scrambler and assault rifles. It ******* kills me inside to not be able to compete anymore. I can't see myself playing much longer if this continues. My entire area of specialization has been rendered moot. This kinda reminds me of the core flaylocks. What happened to those guns, they are gone because they are useless. This is going to make all other weapons useless. These ******* assault rifles are absurd with their damage. Single shot scrambler rifles are even worse, they're like the TAC's from a couple months ago. No competition.

Great thread, went 11 posts before the name calling. Expected a little more class from someone who serves. If you are actually in the military, remember what you represent. Especially when using your military status and unit to make a point.

Yep, gonna take a little break til lthey fix this.

Just curious. I've been looking all over the forum and can't find it anywhere. Has CCP addressed how OP AR (and maybe other weapons too) are since the HD fixes? If so can you post a link as to what they have said/are planning to do about it?
