The true measure of a man is not how he behaves in moments of comfort and convenience but how he stands at times of controversy and challenges.

OR, you could remove the +10% damage to every weapon that they added almost a year ago. That would do it. Removing damage mods would only make more people brick fit.

If they change/remove damage mods, then they also need to change remove the shield regulators and move CPU chips to be a high slots module.

You guys don't seem to understand that these are the racial tradeoffs here. You went Caldari, they have a specific play style, and that play style doesn't normally include damage mods, so tough ****. I'm a Gallente and the Gal play style depends on damage mods.

What you guys are talking about with this bull****, is nerfing or just completely ruining an entire racial class here. I mean come on use ya friken head.

Now quit your *****ing and get gud scrubs.

We already have few enough high modules to choose from as it is, let's try not to remove anymore content. Like zibathy said, just take that 10% damage bonus off of all the weapons.

Yeah, i'd always hoped you could use PG/CPU upgrades in either low or high depending on your needs.

But hey i'm a Gallente too and have weapon upgrades lvl5, and i don't think this would ruin me at all. Actually I think that races with more high slots are more dependant on damage mods than us.

No dude they use regulators/recharger, or at least they should be, because their suits are geared to this play style. They have a low shield regen time and high shield base HP. If your not you're ding it wrong.

And what are the Gallente supposed to use? They have the worst shild stats in the game. How the hell is it supposed to be expected that it is fair for the Gal to only have shied mods to rely on. It is not in the slightest bit fair at all.

The simple fact is, this game's racial classes are set up to function in very specific ways. And removing damage mods or nerfing them would ruin that dynamic, as it is that the shields extenders and damage mods seem to have been balanced with eachother in mind. If you take two player with the same suit and put a damage mod on one and a shield extender on the other, using the same gun, the drop into a match on opposit teams, find eachother, then both stand still and start firing at eachother at exactly the same time, the person with the shield extenders will win but just barly. The shield extender damage mod dynamic is balanced.

If your problem is with TTK, there is no reason to go asking for a fix that completely destroys an entire racial play style. Ask for a reduction in overal weapon damage output or for all of the suits to have they're base HP buffed.

Or perhapse that isn't the problem at all maybe you just suck and need something to blame your suck on.

"And you're wrong: most primary weapons have more effects on shields than armor."

Only until the other racial weapons come out. *facepalm* terrible argument.

"Shields are weaker than armor, shield extenders offer less HP than armor, so an armor tanking suit with damage mods will destroy a shield tanker before."

Armor also has NO natural regen and speed penalties. functioning as intended.

"And IT'S NOT ABOUT TTK, i'll say it again, it's about INEQUITIES in damage output between players.
Especially with proto suits against lower tier suits."

Tires are a fact of this game, they arn't going anywhere. Deal with it.

"Yes, they're different play styles, which is awesome, but why should one crush the other in every situation, at all ranges, in all maps, etc...? You should tank differently, move and attack differently, NOT kill faster and better."

One play style is meant to be a fast hit and run play style with fast regen. The other is supposed to be a stand and deliver play style. Maybe you just suck or don't understand how to play the former described play style (since it takes a little brains to do). I don't seem to have any proble with it on my Cal alt.

You already have 3 tiers for weapons plus a proficiency skill, i'm perfectly ok with that. But It's just ridiculous that one player kills another within a second. It nullifies different "play styles". I see your point, but you still don't get that part. But I don't expect you to understand what I am talking about so...

Removing damage mods removes a huge amount of customizations.

Weapon passive skills should never be anything to do with ROF or DMG. Bringing back the old sharpshooter skillay be the best alternative. Or perhaps removing the weapon proficiency skill completely and leaving only the operation, and then the other skills as they are.

There is no greatness where there is no simplicity, goodness and truth.

There's another nice one.

And the reason I am upset is because you guys are trying to completely ruin this game with your moronic bull**** QQ.

This game has already been decimated enough by ridiculous, terribly thought out, QQ already. Enough is enough this is where I draw the damn line.

And I'll be ok with the removal of damage mods when you're ok with the removal of shield extenders, because it nullifies diferent play styles and It's just ridiculous that one player kills another with them.

If you have a proble with TTK then address that problem. But leave damage mods and their related play mechanics out of it.
