BL4CKST4R WarRavens League of Infamy 1676	Posted - 2014.01.24 11:43:00 - [1] - Quote Assault rifle: "Conceived by Duvolle Laboratories, a corporation best known for its ceaseless R&D, the G75-VLB solves many of the problems inherent in mass-manufactured plasma weapons. [1] The result is a weapon that offers improved accuracy and greater containment field stability (which [2] equates to faster, longer bursts of fire) than anything in its class. It is a magazine-fed, [3]short-to-mid range weapon offering fully automatic fire. Charged plasma munitions are pumped into a cyclotron that converts the plasma into a highly lethal bolt before it is expelled from the chamber. Upon impact with the target, the magnetic field surrounding the bolt collapses, venting superheated plasma onto the contact point." [1] The best accuracy comes from the AScR when zoomed and the best hipfire accuracy comes from the Rail rifle. Please change to "Offers the worst accuracy of any gun in its class, even though it's operational range requires good accuracy". [2] The burst AR is by far one of the worst weapons in Dust and has been for such a long time, as for the rof I believe that goes to the Combat rifle. Please change to "equates to sub optimal rof for sub optimal range and sub optimal bursts. Sorry but you better go Minmatar" [3] Since it has the shortest range and it doesn't match any other gun in range it is a short to short range weapon please change to "short". I think the entire description is best summarized as " A sub-optimal weapon best used a SP sink or to change your difficulty, best erupts when used with a scout. It offers no real advantages over any other weapon available even though all those weapons have extreme advantages over this one. Use of this weapon comes with no warranty to your PS3 hardware if you proceed to smash them in rage from being destroyed by every other rifle." When the Assault rifle is working as intended please use this definition: "Particle blasters operate on a similar principle as the-árailgunexcept they fire a magnetically contained ball of subatomic particles. No other turret class can match the sheer destructive power of particle blasters, but due to the rapid dispersion of the containment field, it also has the worst range of all turrets. Requires hybrid ammo types: antimatter, iridium, iron, lead, plutonium, thorium, tungsten, uranium." Armor and Shields are not the same!

Korvin Lomont United Pwnage Service RISE of LEGION 507	Posted - 2014.01.24 12:45:00 - [4] - Quote To be honest the last time I saw a burst AR in the killfeed was as I used it myself to give it a try. Sometimes I still see the Breach AR and TAC but it is mainly the base AR. And even this weapon I rarely see due to RR spam. Regarding the performance of the Burst AR compared to the CR the CR wins in every aspect by a LARGE margin. Pro CR More damage More Rof More Range Less fitting reqs cheaper Pro Burst AR 6 bullets more per clip ...

Pretty much every new gun that gets released does this, it out classes everything else until it gets nerfed or the outclassed gun gets buffed. Either or the cycle will reverse and go on for eternity.

stlcarlos989 SVER True Blood Public Disorder. 1033	Posted - 2014.01.24 13:52:00 - [8] - Quote They could make the Breach AR and TAC AR more viable by 1) Swapping their damage 2) Swapping their Clip Size and maybe make the breach 25 rounds 3) Giving the TAC its old fire rate This would make the breach a high damage, slow RoF, short range weapon and the TAC would be a long range, medium damage, semi auto. This would actually follow the both weapon descriptions as well. STB Director, #1 in Warpoints E3 Closed Beta Build, Water Pipe Aficionado
Teilka Darkmist 61	Posted - 2014.01.24 13:57:00 - [9] - Quote [1] The improved accuracy mentioned in the text looks like it means compared to other 'mass manufactured plasma weapons' it could even mean compared to a previous model of Burst CR.. [2] The better than anything in it's class is reffering to the greater containment field stability not the accuracy, which suggests that it's class is actually 'mass manufactured plasma weapons' not the light weapons catagory Dust uses. [3] Short, mid or long range will be a classification system that uses the maximum effective range, not be a comparisson between the few, limited types of weapon we have in game. I.e. If anythings max optimal range is under say 10m it's short range (number picked arbitrarily as something that is fairly small). Finally, the text provided in game is 'flavor text' in this case it looks like it's meant to have come from the rifle's manufacture so it's worded to increase sales. You have the option to actually check out the stats before you buy anything and that's what you should be paying attention to when you decide what weapon to buy. In short, the text isn't broken, it's part of the lore. When I play as a sniper, I'm more likely to be nearer to the opponents redline than my own.

ADV and Proto shoot at 44 and 48 respectively after that they do not do full damage so any range outside of that is meaningless. The RR does full damage at 78 meters that's 40% range difference yet they both do the same amount of damage that's short to long not mid to long. The CR does full damage at 66 meters a 30% difference this is truly short to mid. The AR is not trash by the standard that it does shoot and it can kill but the bar of a good rifle has been raised so high that the AR cannot compete. And thus using the AR is really just purposely gimping yourself for nothing. Armor and Shields are not the same!

In short, the text isn't broken, it's part of the lore. "Part of Kaalakiota's Stahl line of weaponry, the rail rifle is a fast-firing precision weapon designed for field operations where penetrative power and range are paramount. Developed using the corporation's proprietary microscale technology, the rail rifle solves oversaturation issues endemic to sustained fire electromagnetic weaponry. However, it's greater range and power are offset by a smaller magazine capacity and lower rate of fire than similarly classified weapons. The foregrip design aids stabilization and remains cool to the touch even during prolonged discharge where the barrel can exceed mean operating temperatures. Featuring a reinforced subassembly and compact, heavy-barrel design, the rail rifle is the premier fully automatic microscale weapon available today." Seems to me that when a description is done it refers to weapons on the class not the line of weapons itself. As you can see from the bolded text this holds true not for the Rail rifle weapon line but for the rifle line. Armor and Shields are not the same!

All rifles need the damn hell NerfHammer. TTk is the problem not the solution. Stop asking weapons to always been MORE POWERFUL because there's a weapon better. Nerf the weapon that is better to be at the same level. You literally just agreed with me by disagreeing! The AR works but when compared to other rifles is broken... The comparison of the RR and the AR is because the RR can do the CQC just as well, possibly better than the AR. Have you ever used the RR and the AR? Take a look at the hip fire accuracy, the RR is much more accurate. The range of the RR can definitely be used to compare it against the AR because of the DPS discrepancy, what does the RR lose for its range? What does the AR gain for its range? The RR does everything the AR does at a longer range, by this standard the AR does everything the RR can do at half the range. So what is the most logical choice? Obviously the RR because you are gaining the abilities of a short range weapon and a long range weapon. Now if the RR lost some DPS for its range, the choice is now set as to what you want your weapon to do, not how much your weapon can do. Do you want a long range weak weapon or a short range strong weapon? Do you want an accurate hip firing weapon or an accurate ADSed weapon? This is how the balance should be. As for the CR let me tell you that by far it is definitely not the most OP weapon, it could use with a tone down, specially the rof but it's not as OP as you think. Go into a really laggy match with equipment everywhere take a look at the kill feed and tell me how many CRs you see. You won't see much, and whichever you do see those are happening away from the Lag. During high lag the CR actually jams and lowers the RoF to around 500. The assault variant is just extremely overwhelming due to the high clip and high rof, but in reality it's just a long ranged AR just like the RR, again another DPS discrepancy. Although it is also extremely accurate for such high rof.... Also I am not asking for a buff to the AR, in fact every time somebody posts buff the AR I write "No that will ruin the TTK, leave the AR as it is and lower the DPS of other rifles" and basically that's the core problem of every rifle the DPS. The problem with the other guns that are not rifles is how they work. In this game where dying costs you something weapons that can kill you instantly do not bode well. That is why they are all nerfed to hell. I am not saying it's right for then to be nerfed but the cost to play vs the TTK of these weapons did/does not allow them to exist. For example the old flaylock. It was a cheap pistol that could be equipped by any suit, MLT at best and it could kill any suit up to and including prototype for little risk and high reward and a very very short TTK. The old Mass Driver had the same effect, take a look at Core locus grenades numerically they arent that much better than M1 grenades but a lot of people would love to have them nerfed because of how easy they are vs a suit that costs 150k+. This problem can be translated into other weapons like the rifles, but overall each of these weapons that are no longer effective were surpassing every other weapon out there, similarly to how the RR is doing. Those weapons were practically shut down and that is not a good strategy to "fix" them, that's basically removing them from the game but forcing players to suffer for it, because you know skills. For example the Mass driver would make for a great AoE weapon, not meant to kill but to wither the enemy, same with flaylock. The Laser rifle would make for a great counter to long range weapons, but like always each weapon was just to good at everything nd better. Armor and Shields are not the same!

If anythings max optimal range is under say 10m it's short range (number picked arbitrarily as something that is fairly small). Finally, the text provided in game is 'flavor text' in this case it looks like it's meant to have come from the rifle's manufacture so it's worded to increase sales. You have the option to actually check out the stats before you buy anything and that's what you should be paying attention to when you decide what weapon to buy. In short, the text isn't broken, it's part of the lore. "Part of Kaalakiota's Stahl line of weaponry, the rail rifle is a fast-firing precision weapon designed for field operations where penetrative power and range are paramount. Developed using the corporation's proprietary microscale technology, the rail rifle solves oversaturation issues endemic to sustained fire electromagnetic weaponry. However, it's greater range and power are offset by a smaller magazine capacity and lower rate of fire than similarly classified weapons. The foregrip design aids stabilization and remains cool to the touch even during prolonged discharge where the barrel can exceed mean operating temperatures. Featuring a reinforced subassembly and compact, heavy-barrel design, the rail rifle is the premier fully automatic microscale weapon available today." Seems to me that when a description is done it refers to weapons on the class not the line of weapons itself. As you can see from the bolded text this holds true not for the Rail rifle weapon line but for the rifle line. Nowhere in the two examples quoted does either one give a definition for the class of weapons it's in. It's entirely possible that they're each in different classes. The first being a (quoted from the text) 'mass manufactured plasma weapon' the second being a 'rail rifle' for example. The only thing that the two quoted pieces of text shows is that Kaalakiota are more forthcoming about the slight drawbacks of it's weapon than Duvolle, although they do point out that the drawbacks are because of some advantages. When I play as a sniper, I'm more likely to be nearer to the opponents redline than my own.

Iron Wolf Saber Den of Swords 12564	Posted - 2014.01.24 19:28:00 - [27] - Quote Older plasma weapons had a nasty habit of exploding too. Gallente before immortal soldiers used weapons similar to minmater most of the time while plasma arms where special uses only. This rifle did not exist two years ago lore wise. Its amazing what sort of guns you can make with less concern for safety and logivity of the so!died in question. Case in point, shielding systems are radioactive and are unsafe for non clones even on vehicles they are not safe enough.

Scheneighnay McBob Learning Coalition College 3679	Posted - 2014.01.24 19:38:00 - [29] - Quote Also, the description of the combat rifle says it's designed to outrange standard assault rifles. Bullshit, unless by assault rifles they mean gallente assault rifles. I am your scan error.

They do not specifically point out the weapons but I can be logically assumed that they are referring to the rifles. If the RR had a variant that had lower clip and lower rof then it is safe to assume that the RR is referring to itself. Armor and Shields are not the same!
