Boot Booter Omega Elite Mercs INC. 165	Posted - 2013.11.22 05:49:00 - [1] - Quote I feel like sometimes its the greatest weapon ever and than other times (mostly other times) I can't hit anybody. Anyone else have this problem? Is hit detection still all fk-d up?
Borne Velvalor Endless Hatred 993	Posted - 2013.11.22 05:50:00 - [2] - Quote My biggest problem is the range. It's ridiculously short. Many suits I've worn, many burdens I've borne, for the oaths I've sworn. Panda.

Anyone else have this problem? Is hit detection still all fk-d up? hit detection for it is good now, better than it has been in like forever it takes about 2-3 shots to kill someone so it becomes imperative to choose your targets well. Borne Velvalor wrote: My biggest problem is the range. It's ridiculously short. I disagree Obviously range is a buff but I don't believe the right one, I'm more inclined to boost the shotguns alpha considering the large and continuous alpha damage the auto rifles have at all those ranges, meaning the only way that the shotgun will find its niche when it can out dps them. Buffing its range does not fix the issue of the three shot time it to kill someone for hostiles to turn around and clean you out, having them turn around at 5 m vs 15 m is a small difference. On the other hand, if they had a stronger alpha then they would have their role. Edit: I also don't shotgun so I'm not upset either way, just pointing out what I see as logical. Below 28 dB
shady merc RisingSuns Public Disorder. 26	Posted - 2013.11.22 06:45:00 - [5] - Quote Assuming Ttk is extended some then yes alpha dmg could use a small buff. The range probably feels like the issue because as a scout if someone see you trying to get with in range you are dead. Ttk is to short to pull out your sidearm and try to compete with your enemy.
Dengru Royal Uhlans Amarr Empire 156	Posted - 2013.11.22 07:27:00 - [6] - Quote The range is also an issue with medium frames, not just scourts Boosting the effective range will allow you to more easily kill people who merely bunny hop into your dropoff range If someone is 7m away and they are down to half their armor it can be hard to take that tiny bit of health away when you combine dmg dropoff and poor dps-- not enough of the pellets hit and the interval between shoots is long. The way the game functions, its just a needless handicap. an example would be... on one of the new maps, where bravo is up those stairs... if your coming out the stairs and around the corner at the objective panel an enemy begins shooting you either have to turn back or tank his shots to get within 5m . Because of the range you cannot do enough dmg to him and the time spent shootind and resuming sprint is enough for even low tier ars to do over 200 dps. Once you add active scanners and dmg mods situations like this it just stupid and thats why you see scouts with 600 armor cause the range is dictated by scanners and full auto weapons so you will be peppered with huge I'm dmg that you can nolongel speed tank around to minimize
Infamous Erich Inf4m0us 41	Posted - 2013.11.22 07:51:00 - [7] - Quote I dont think its the weapon i think its the user cause somedays i can do very well with it jumping in the air hitting people while doing 180's and other days i can't even hit buddy that im standing behind then he turns around and kills me with his ar or scr lol Closed Beta Vet Shield Tank Vet Bring back my Sagaris

Boot Booter Omega Elite Mercs INC. 165	Posted - 2013.11.22 14:00:00 - [12] - Quote Well I'm going to keep on running it with my min assault. My SMG is practically a main weapon until they nerf that to the ground and hopefully either I get better with the shotty or they fix it... Idk. It's too much fun not to use. Nothing better than sneaking up on some proto try hard and watching them panic when they hear that... "doof" sound lol.

Anyone else have this problem? Is hit detection still all fk-d up? I've seen some truly bizarre things with the shotty. It's best not to question. Sometimes you'll miss completely, and the Gods will show mercy & kill the fella anyway. No.

Jayke Violardo Militaires-Sans-Frontieres 13	Posted - 2013.11.22 14:52:00 - [16] - Quote It's hit or miss(literally) with hit detection. Sometimes every shot does what it's supposed to. Sometimes I'm shooting a guy in the back getting nothing but shield flare. What truly sucks is when it's shotty v shotty and you get shield flare. Most rage inducing death ever.
