stlcarlos989 SVER True Blood Public Disorder. 1022	Posted - 2014.01.23 14:11:00 - [1] - Quote Walk around with a rail rifle while constantly tapping the trigger as soon as you engage an enemy just hold it and you will begin firing instantly with no spool up time. The spool up time is supposed to be the balancing factor for the rail rifle in CQC but since since it can be easily bypassed CCP you need to rebalance it. I hate making this "exploit" or whatever you want to call it more common in pubs (already prevalent in PC) but it has to be abused for CCP to react.

It's shorter than the human reaction time, if you play with that in mind it won't bother you at all. I don't remember if I was ever killed because of the spool up.

Thats another weapon which happens to be the most OP gun in the game since no one seems to realize that it has a higher base damage then the TAC AR and the TAC ARs old RoF plus the ability take out out all the shields of any suit with one charge shot then it take just a couple of single shots to finish any armor since you'll be doing 85+ damage to armor with prof 5 and a couple of damage mods.

Where is the disadvantage to the Rail Rifle? Well we were tellin that to CCP since the first numbers leaked or were presented but until now nobody listened or cared. Thats why you see the RR so often in the killfeed. Its just sad that the new weapons directly outshine the old ones by a good margin :/

Where is the disadvantage to the Rail Rifle? The other big issue is the rails damage per clip. They lose some damage at the start of the engagement but gain a lot MRE before they have to reload. On the basic its something like an extra 360 damage per magazine/clip over the Ar. I'm sure its worse on assault RR variants. Newbiest newberry to ever spawn a 12 page Debate
Soldner VonKuechle SAM-MIK 285	Posted - 2014.01.23 15:31:00 - [22] - Quote The amount of times I die during the spool up is far more than I'd like to admit, But it's usual mid bunny hopping firefight and I have to reset my aim. The pre fire - constant spooling thing isn't an exploit, it's figuring out how to maximize the eff-you of your gun, kinda like the guysthat can burst their standard CRs to fire like fully autos, without using a modded controller (you know who you are) Ill agree that the top end damage of the RR is stupid good, 3 bolts with a kalak and some poor militia scrub is dead. That does need to be addressed and lowered, and yes I use the rail only now. ... I've waited a dam year for it, ill ride that thing into the ground. Also I don't know what matches you guys are playing that you only see rails, But the pubs/factionals I've been doing actually have pretty good diversity. PC must be different. Something witty here.

Alternate Insano Company of Marcher Lords Amarr Empire 2	Posted - 2014.01.23 15:41:00 - [23] - Quote The spool up time isn't the only issue with the rail rifle. It's range and damage are ridiculously unbalanced. I can stand toe to toe in my Amarr Heavy advanced armor, with shield and armor upgrades at level 3 each, shooting my M82 HMG at a similar level Logi suit carrying a basic rail rifle and I lose every time. EVERY time. How can this possible be explained away? A couple of us actually staged a fire fight and it doesn't matter what we did, the outcome is always the same. Rail rifle wins. I made an acct for my son and set up a rail rifle heavy, and it's just ridiculous. That alt is so OP. My boy is 7 and can go 10-18 kills per match.

CLONE117 planetary retaliation organisation ACME Holding Conglomerate 593	Posted - 2014.01.23 16:10:00 - [30] - Quote the rail rifle 3 shotting?... well it can easily get the power of a large blaster turret. with the addition of some extra damage mods maybe proficiency maxed. and while using the proto version. well almost. maybe be a few points short. still it was longer range than it 2. and better mobility and can move in an out of small structures. i have some very quick reaction times. it needs to be fast when using nothing but core skill specced mlt suits when going up against higher tiered fits. and at the same time im using my gek or mlt ar. sometimes a std. or an hmg on heavy. the many times ive gone up against the oh so common cr and rail rifle. i will either die. or limp away with next to no hp left. then die to a different player using the same guns. i have yet to find an effective counter to these guns. other than a large blaster turret/mlt tank. but even with that they would have an easy time avoiding me. because the tank wont fit into those small doorways or hallways. and cant climb stars either. asides from that im not sure if the shootting while getting incapacitated glitch has been fixed yet. because its happened to me with both of thoseguns.

Vyle Cross SVER True Blood Public Disorder. 29	Posted - 2014.01.23 16:17:00 - [31] - Quote the spool up time doesnt have momentum like a chain gun... as soon u release the button it resets back to zero.. tapping the r1 isnt game changing nor it eliminates the wait. it just means u anticipated firing the weapon which is what a good rail rifle user should be doing... the only difference is some ppl just need to press r1 one time ...others need to constantly press it.

When a RR can out DPS the HMG in it's own effective killing range then something is definitely wrong. Anyone who says otherwise just wants to keep the crutch.

I spool up in the time it takes me to aim at an enemy. The spool time is ridiculously small. It should be at least a full second to see any real penalty for CQC use. No.

Tank railguns with dispersion will keep those ADS pilots happy too :) See how silly dispersion on rail tech sounds now? Now I just need to remember who were the loudest voices in closed beta saying that dispersion was a bad mechanic made to help newbs who can't aim. Yes give me dispersion on my RR try dodging my RR's dispersion in CQC! Seriously. It's difficult to track a target with a RR in CQC - problem is. None of you ******* can move cos you're all stacking armour. Bouncy shotgun scout should pish all over a RR user in CQQ and the gud ones do. I would say over 90% of my RR kills have been of people standing still, or running directly at me. My kdr has not suddenly leapt through the roof, im killing/dying just as much/little as when everyone was running with duvolles! HTFU and get gud. All of you.

It isn't any different/worse than walking around with a charged ScR shoot.

Tank railguns with dispersion will keep those ADS pilots happy too :) See how silly dispersion on rail tech sounds now? Now I just need to remember who were the loudest voices in closed beta saying that dispersion was a bad mechanic made to help newbs who can't aim. Yes give me dispersion on my RR try dodging my RR's dispersion in CQC! Seriously. It's difficult to track a target with a RR in CQC - problem is. None of you ******* can move cos you're all stacking armour. Bouncy shotgun scout should pish all over a RR user in CQQ and the gud ones do. I would say over 90% of my RR kills have been of people standing still, or running directly at me. My kdr has not suddenly leapt through the roof, im killing/dying just as much/little as when everyone was running with duvolles! HTFU and get gud. All of you. Just because its the same tech, doesn't mean it should work in the same way. Fatal Absolution Operation - LVL 5 Fatal Absolution Pro. - LVL 5 FOTM Abuser, outta mah way Nyain San!

I dont see that as an exploit as it requires you to always remember to tap the trigger. Otherwise starting the spool before you ran round the courner is also exploiting. Or taping the spool while waiting for someone to break cover...i could go on Its not hard to remember to do so, if CCP thinks this is ok then why have a spool up time it the first place? Rail tech is Caldari tech is long range. RR too good in CQ. Not what the balance factor is supposed to be. Lore breaking and no reason to use the other weapons if the RR does just as good in CQ. That is all. Both Gallente and Caldari use Rails, both use Hybrid weapons in general but Caldari focus on Missiles. Why CCP decided to make rails Solely Caldari in this game is beyond me.

It isn't any different/worse than walking around with a charged ScR shoot. I agree, however, the charged SCR does a hell of a lot more damage, so in a sense the SCR is even worse in this regard. IMO, this is no exploit. It's not really effective and requires a lot of button pushing for little to no tactical advantage.

Why CCP decided to make rails Solely Caldari in this game is beyond me. Space combat =/= planet-bound combat It's possible that Gallente simply prefers plasma when there's gravity, an atmosphere and only small power generators. Remember, this stuff is either hand-held or vehicle mounted and not part of huge-ass space ships. That completely changes the associated engineering paradigms. You can't just scale things down at will. From what I know about EVE lore, Gallente is close combat with armor and Caldari is ranged combat with shields. So giving Gallente the blaster weapons and Caldari the railguns makes sense in terms of combat doctrine.

It's not the weapon, its the person behind the weapon. Nerf creativity. That's called competitive mindset. The scrubs find an exploit and pretend that it doesn't exist and shout at anyone who uses it. Which creates a web of more and more artificial rules that aren't actually part of the game, causing the barrier to entry to get ever higher and the gameplay to lose more and more variety. Competitive players, meanwhile, find an exploit and abuse the **** out of it. The point here is to raise public awareness, which forces the devs to actually rectify the issue.

I would say most rifiles are good where they are. Pretty much everyone bar PC players use the WRONG gun for their playstyle or simply suck and make up BS excuses No to the AR, no to the SG (do you REALLY believe THAT) with the CR it is on par in CQC. I have all the weapons you mentioned on prof 2 or higher with AR on 5 and I can tell you the RR does get outclassed by them.

I think they do but I'm not an HMG user. If I pull the trigger early as I round a corner to maximize damage application on anybody that might be there....Is that an exploit?
