I just wished CCP at least buffed the damage buildup back up (maybe not as intense as it was though). Because right now, preheating the laser means absolutely nothing...

What should be done to the laser rifle to bring it back to at least a fraction of it's former glory (more than it is now anyways)?

Ahh, I miss the rush of panic when I realized there was a lazor firing in my general direction back in those days and it had range. Trying to get in close enough to to try to kill the user. Ah good times good times.

You mean back when it was a gameplay mechanic that actually required you to use your brain to overcome?

Use your brain my black ass, either you were close or you were dead.

Only weapon I've seen in dust that could take out an entire squad in under a second barring remote explosives and old missiles.

If I recall correctly, he said it took skill and didnt think it was OP, all while going 10-0 in a minute and a half. Strange, cant find that vid anymore. Edit: Ah here it is

It is a shame that this game is full of whinny little QQers who eventually get anything fun nerfed into the ground. Fun only for the user. The old laser was VERY OP. Lasers now still have a window of range where they are very lethal. But you have to use your brain to figure that out.

Having to be hyper alert all the time, and freaking out like you had shell shock or something even when a blue LAV rolled up from behind you. Screaming at LAV drivers in your squad "dude don't rolled up on me like that, give me some warning or some thing! LOL good times. {:)}{3GÇó>

The dark cloud The Rainbow Effect 1895	Posted - 2013.11.25 06:45:00 - [11] - Quote Oh yeah the joy of using it with 3 damage mods. Melted a heavy in under 1.5 secs so the only trace left of the "heavy armor" was a puddle of melted metal. On a funny note you could destroy supply depots with just 2 clips from the viziam. I shall show you a world, a world which you cant imagine, a world full off butthurt n00bs at the other end of my gun

I didn't find them all that troublesome. If you understood how they worked, when to enguage a LR user and when to let it go and flank, they really weren't that big a deal. I don't remember dying to the as much as I did to the AR that's for sure. I thought it was a lot of fun. {:)}{3GÇó>
Viktor Hadah Jr Critical-Impact 1215	Posted - 2013.11.25 07:39:00 - [13] - Quote I still use laser rifle now and then but it's hard to pick it up over my scrambler rifle since there is only like 10% of combat situations it is good for. Although i do like to pull out my laser rifle as a guilty pleasure because that fit has my proto assault scram pistol fit on it. For the Empire Dual tanking is a sin BPO's are bad for economy, Respec's are bad for the game. Want to fight about it?
Flix Keptick Red Star. EoN. 1355	Posted - 2013.11.25 12:50:00 - [14] - Quote To the people crying op: I don't want it to do as much near overheat damage as it used to. But if you are claiming that it is perfectly fine right now, especially with the range the new rifles will have then you are just plain wrong. It is awful when compared to an assault rifle, which is lethal from cqc to long range. "Please don't" GÿåForum warrior lvl.1Gÿå
Niuvo NECROM0NGERS 817	Posted - 2013.11.25 13:05:00 - [15] - Quote Ah yes the cool laser rifle. The sound was hard and cool. I felt power. When I was getting lazed, I felt fear. The sound of one getting lazed was trembling. Like it actually burned. Dying to an OP lazer was better than dying to the crap AR today.

I can't believe that happened. Oh gosh.

Yep, I would much rather die to an op viziam than to an op duvolle. The duvolle kills faster than what the "op" laser did before. "Please don't" GÿåForum warrior lvl.1Gÿå
