People leave all the time, plenty people have claimed to left and haven't, we have seen people claim to leave in droves and our player numbers go up. If those people who leave because the AR got a nerf, then you know what??

GOOD RIDDANCE

Many players do not write anything here. But! I play with hundreds of players, and I know perfectly what about they talking! They are angry! Very much! They were all glad when it was chromosome. But now they are looking for other alternative projects. And yes, soon PS4. One nerf AR or Caldari suit, and all, they go away. And not come back.

I was love Chromosome, but i hate Uprising!

Weapons like the Scrambler Rifle and Sniper Rifle are not pray and spray weapons. They take take skill to get in and out and can't flank 5 opponents without overheating. Of course nerf the Assault version. The Sniper Rifle... well lol

If you're a sniper in life that you are not interested in the shotgun, yes, they will leave and not come back and will tell others that this game has nothing to do, and then what?

Realy? And what are you use, lasers? You want be a safe?

Im assault all time from closed beta with my AR, and now AR is sucks!

WHAT?!? You must be fucking high. If you want to see a gun that sucks use the plasma cannon or HMG.

You haven't used the plasma cannon have you. The thing is literally useless. Anytime I see one I simply laugh then mow him down with my ScR.

This game will DIE if you don't do something about that damage. They should just stop releasing new weapons. Take all other weapons out of the game. You only need the AR and SCR (single shot) to compete in the game, anything else falls way short of being able to match up.

And the first person that gives me that "AR's should dominate" troll response, I'll make your life in game a living hell.

I just wana say, how many nerfs need to kill AR's?

ASCR
SMG
AR

Would be the ones I'd vouch for unrolling the uprising buff now that HD is back where it should be.


All projectile based
HMG
SCR standard
Sniper
Shotgun

Seem to be okay spot and don't need too many adjustments in terms of their ability of how fast they kill people.

Overall the weapon rate of damage should be lowered to some aspect enough that the following applies

1. Fitting tank modules is meaningful
2. Fitting damage modules is meaningful
3. Foregoing either module will have notable differences.

I don't like the fact that ARs have no counter balance built into them. I'm an SCR user until I die.

But do you honestly think the majority of the already tiny player base is going to stick around and learn a more difficult weapon to use? Do you honestly think the noobs that come into this game are going to be patient enough to learn how to use unfamiliar and difficult weapons on an already difficult grinding game?

I'm speaking on the business side of the game. If the AR goes, any chance of attracting or retaining new players will go with it, then the game will literally die; as in CCP will have no choice but to scrap the DUST 514 project once and for all.

The number of people flocking to the generic Medium Frame/AR setup in on the rise, because people want easy-mode, and the minority playerbase who use scouts, Shotguns, SCRs, Heavies, etc. have no choice but to convert as well, because eventually the headaches get to be to much.
Even I sometimes will just say "f*ck it..." and whip out the GEK-38, because it gets to you, having to play at a higher level for so long... my brain can only sprint a marathon so long before it tells me to just take the shortcut.

Dude, a 10% debuff in automatic weapons damage wont turn them into difficult weapons to handle. It will slightly raise TTK for most fights. And i think that even after such a change, TTK will still be shorter than it was on 1.5. Many people supporting that change are automatic rifles users. Let's not dramatize this. No one is asking to nerf those weapons to half of their capabilities

Damage on the full auto weapons is not needed. The removal of the Sharpshooter skill on SMGs and ARs is though. increase hip-fire dispersion and the gun won't seen as EZ mode
